WOMAN: (SINGING) I got something to tell you.
Asia and Nia were doing a duet this weekend
entitled Move You Too.
Asia has an over-the-top personality, especially
when she steps out on stage.
And the only other performer that I think of
is a drag queen.
They're just that over the top persona.
They're bigger than life.
And that's what I want Nia to be.
I'm really excited Nia and Asia had this duet this week,
they look really great together.
But this is the first time they had a duet
and so I know they're going to need to run it a few times
before they go on stage. They're not going on.
The duo's not going.
Not yet.
We got to get moving.
But we'll come back for the duet?
Yes.
Because I didn't have a chance to get pinned.
Like they just- they're not finished getting dressed.
Maddie and Chloe's solos are coming up next
and we're all rushing to try to get out of the room,
but we haven't run Nia and Asia's duet yet
and I'm getting really nervous.
ANNOUNCER: All right, our next entry
is number 44, Move You Too.
All of a sudden I hear the competition announce
that the duet is up next, and there
was supposed to be 14 numbers between Asia
and Nia's duet and Maddie's solo.
Asia and Nia never had a chance to rehearse a duet.
They didn't even run the duet.
JILL: I think they ran it backstage.
No, they did not.
In this duet, Nia has this extremely
difficult life with Asia where she picks her up over her head.
She hasn't even had a chance to practice it.
They haven't even stretched.
They are totally unprepared.
We didn't even warm up, or anything.
We didn't practice at all and that's not fair to Asia and I.
WOMAN: (singing) I got something to tell you
and think you ought to know.
It's time to get down to business,
come on, ready, set, go.
Hah. Get it.
[cheers]
I'll show you how we do it.
JILL: Way to go, girls.
The duet ended up looking pretty good.
Was it their best, no, but Nia was able to lift
Asia with no difficulty.
So I'm pretty happy with that.
What I'm not happy with, is with Abby.
She was reckless and she totally was
unprepared with rehearsing those girls
before they went on stage.
They weren't stretched.
HOLLY: They weren't stretched.
KRISTIE: They weren't stretched.
I could tell they weren't stretched.
Being in a costume does not mean
that you're ready to perform.
CHRISTIE: I agree.
There was time for the girls to rehearse
and she didn't use that time.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What?
Who told the girls to go on if there were 14 numbers?
What?
And they never practiced in their costume
like everybody else.
KRISTIE: They didn't even run anything,
they didn't even stretch.
Most importantly, they weren't warmed up.
Regardless, the ability to adapt quickly to change-
they need to be on that, because when your kid goes
to an audition, they could be number 185 and 183 and 184
dropped out and you're kid's saying,
wait a minute I have six more minutes before I step
out there to do my audition.
No, you don't.
When you're in an audition, you just need to be ready.
And that's a fact.
I was worried about the lift.
The lift was great.
They practiced the lift backstage.
What else did they do that it required all this warm up?
A round off back handspring.
Well, a back handspring, since you know everything Dr. Holly,
is done with a straight back.
But it's not funny or cute to throw a kid on stage
and them not be warmed up.
Once again, Abby deflects the blame
and turns this all in to a lesson about being prepared.
Regardless, this lesson could have been disastrous.
Abby's lucky that the duet performed as well as they did.
We have our Top Overall Energy Petite duet trio.
In third place, On Broadway.
[applause]
In second place, Follow The leader.
[applause]
And our Top Overall Energy Petite duet trio, Move you too.
[applause]
I'm so proud of Nia.
The duet came in first place, and they
didn't run the dance once.
They adapted to the situation and they persevered,
and I hope this shows Abby that Nia can tackle any situation
that comes her way.
