maddie i'm gonna tell you right here and now in front of everyone
i don't think you're doing a solo at nationals
you're a jimmy kimmel today you're a jimmy kimmel all day tomorrow that gives us one day
to do a solo before nationals i would love to do a solo i don't care if i have to learn in one day
she doesn't have to be there till two tomorrow
i don't want to throw you out on that stage not being your best maddie you are not doing a solo at
nationals i just want a solo really bad and even though i have other things that i have to do in
la i still want to be able to compete as a soloist i guarantee abby has something up her sleeve for
maddie for nationals i'm assuming she's doing a solo at nationals we all assumed she was doing one
at nationals because yesterday it was the first time that we heard that she wasn't doing a solo
when abby said it at pyramid but when we came in today the first dance taught was maddie solo
maddie had a super secret private and learned the solo on her own
before the rest of the girls came in
but she told all of us maddie is not doing a story what are the games abby's playing you know if i
have learned anything this competition season it's expect maddie to dance an unexpected dance
there is no way that abby is not going to let maddie dance a solo at nationals
ever the whole whatever meat media frenzy that's going to happen it's a distraction absolutely job
is to teach dance and to make sure that kids are prepared for nationalism this is not the
time to be focused on media and meeting people we need to be focused on dancing and being prepared
oh my god please make sure that that attitude as an attitude it's national suite and abby
is clearly not in our game she's looking at new studios the other great thing about this location
is you're raped between santa monica and brentwood on one side and beverly hills on the other she's
leaving early to watch maddie at jimmy kimmel all right okay i'm looking forward to seeing you sir
she's not even at the studio for rehearsals like did she just use nationals as an excuse
to get out here and kind of work on all four other things cause that's what it feels like
to us okay that has to be a split i really had high hopes for this number but it's obvious that
she's not been given a solo that shows off all of her talent do you like chloe's no not at all no
it's not chloe at all what's up was there a problem with you you see the dance you see
that that's not chloe's style everybody i think she looks great she worked on it
the whole deal about this dance was that it had to be good choreography and it's not
you guys are her you really are there was one like thing that i changed but the whole
timing thing i don't know what she's worked up about okay there's nothing to worry about
again abby is missing in action she hasn't spent any time with the soloist chloe
kendall and cameron have only gotten a few minutes to learn their solos
at this rate who knows who's gonna win nationals abby she'll take a look at the solos decide
they're not good enough and throw maddie in at the last minute i would put nothing past
her by doing that i don't understand now so is maddie doing a solo in pyramid she said maddie
is not having a solo so where did that come from i have no idea did you think all along
i know i haven't because you know because you and maddie were both like okay she didn't look
upset that she was not getting any question why it was a little too neatly packaged of a response
if you were blindsided if you wanted no no no i disagree just really messed up because everyone
has now had more than one turn to have a solo at nationals and my kid has yet to have one
abby are there any other soloists well maddie started a solo maddie do you want to do a solo
yes it's good that they're doing a solo and i'm happy for them but i want to do a solo too
in pyramid abby specifically said maddie's busy going to jimmy kimmel she does not
have a solo at nationals i don't know what to think well i think it should be
that way that the three girls get the solo no i just want you know a chance
for the other girls oh melissa i think you're backpedaling a little bit i just remember when
you were more concerned with her future than your friendships and how everybody else felt i thought
there were only three solos but i think the issue i thought there were only three solos to be given
i just have a lot to think about mckenzie i gave it to you
you know what maddie why don't you go in the other room and work on your solo
i need a sure thing to count on for competition these kids they're struggling with these routines
i might have to really take the mothers off and stick maddy in the competition can we practice
for a minute and 45 seconds nia and mackenzie have choreography with that chair so until those
two get their act together maddy should go do something else melissa says nothing the group
dance is the most important dance shame on melissa for not speaking up and saying that's wrong
maddie wasn't given a solo at at pyramid now there's this super secret solo i guess at this
point you're okay with maddie doing a solo because you didn't speak up if you really
aren't gonna pull it just say all right i at this point i'm not oh my god oh my god
you said oh i'm glad my friends are finally getting a chance you said that those were your
words you just made it perfectly clear where we all stand your decision not to say anything
to abby doesn't surprise me and that makes me sad oh my god i don't know what planet i'm on
and that's what bothers me that would have been a perfect opportunity okay i'm gonna go talk to abby
you need to be so high in your one-handed handstand that your foot is like straight
your leg comes in i really can't give what anybody tells me to do because i'm my own person and i'm
standing up for myself i'm not letting people walk all over me anymore i'm just sick and tired
of all the i want to just take my kids and go to nationals i'm so over this
we're at intensity national dance competition this is for all the marbles
kathy's here which is just like a knife in my side i think they're doing chandelier kendall
said she heard the music walking by their door in the program book it says they're doing chandelier
oh my god i'm gonna get sick to my stomach i'm thinking very strongly about taking one of the
solos away and entering maddie you want to do the dancer craft do you want to do the
same number and shove it all in their faces and have the place go crazy what do you want to do
no it's not up to me i'm giving you the right to choose what you want
i'll have to say no i can't believe that maddie said she didn't want to perform at nationals
i think it's time she concentrate more on her dancing and less on her friends
so maddie's not dancing you're not putting her in you have faith in these girls she said not to
do that yeah of course she would never i would never do it melissa left that decision up to
maddie why couldn't melissa make that decision she couldn't bring herself to do the right thing
for me congratulating mrs kendall with actor 28 my name and lights from the avilee dance government
this camera is at number 26 this is the start from the adelaide dance company
join me in congratulating miss chloe with that number 29 soaring from the avili dance company
not one of our solos was the overall high score winner not one was first place that is unheard
of for the abby lee dance company all i know is that when maddie goes out to perform she wins you
