on that stage tonight.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Meghan, what can each one of them do to make
you think they deserve that seat?

in your entire career, and prove to everyone
in this room why you deserve to be here
and why you deserve to win.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Fergie? -Yes?

Y'all look amazing. Y'all feel amazing.
I'm feeling the vibe. I'm ready.
-Yes.
[ Air horn blares ]
I'm ready.
[ Air horn blares ]
This is the finale.
-Whoo. -Hey, yo, sound man.
Turn my mic up.
I ain't playing no games with you, sound man.
Turn my mic up. I see what's...
[ Air horn blows ]
-[ Laughs ]
-You're in rare form, baby.
-As the four got ready for the biggest night of their life,
they had a chance to sit down for some real talk with a couple
of moguls -- Diddy and Khaled.
Check this out.
-You ready?
Let's do it.
-Diddy and DJ Khaled have worked with some of
the biggest artists in the world --
Rihanna, Faith Evans, Mary J. Blige.
-These guys make superstars.
I mean, I'm trying to be the next big superstar.
-What's good?
-What's up, girl? How are you doing?
-We got to go change or something.
Y'all came to perform?
[ Laughter ]
-So, it's the finals, and you guys are up against each other.
And the best artist will win, but, you know,
it's not going to be just about that night.
We're looking at the whole body of work.
Leah, like, you got to kill 'em,
'cause we don't really know you, you know what I'm saying?
-Right. -Your song choices
have to be so on point.
-As a new artist, what would be the biggest "no"?
-Put out a whack record. -Yeah, right.
[ Laughter ]
-Right. I can dig that.
-Not be true to yourself,
I think would be the biggest mistake.
-What do you feel like it takes to have longevity?
Like, I don't want to be a one-hit wonder.
-For me, I always make sure I make timeless music.
-I like quality over quantity.
I have this saying -- "Only the song survives."
-For real.
This one show could change your entire life.
-Yeah. I know what you're saying.
-I want y'all to be right. I got a gift for y'all.
You know, candles and meditate. You know what I'm saying?
-Thank you. -Thank you.
-After meeting with Diddy and DJ Khaled,
I'm even more hungry for this.
We might be friends, but when we get out there on that floor,
every man is for themselves.
-To the final four.
-Hey. Heeey.
ś 'Cause it's bad boy for life ś
-Whoo!
It's about to go down tonight.
