All right, ladies.
Let's go.
Lilliana, I need to see your personality change.
I need to see you scare those judges, understood?
Elliana, this is your first solo in a long time.
The last time you performed a solo,
you left a whole step out.
The time before that, you did a solo and you won.
You beat everybody.
We need to go back to that, understood?
Yeah.
All right.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please help me
welcome entry number 30, "Am I Enough?"
[applause]
[MUSIC - RACHAEL SAGE, "IT WOULD BE ENOUGH"]
SINGER: It would be enough if you sang like an angel,
if you sang like an angel every time.
Oh, whoa.
It would be enough, if you played like a genius,
if you played like a genius every night.
Oh, whoa.
How can just one person do so many things right?
We were lost.
We were cold in the middle of the night.
You calm the fight.
Good night.
[applause]
Yeah.
Yeah, I thought I actually did really good.
And I-- and I didn't mess up!
Yes!
STACEY KETCHMAN: This could be Lily's last chance
to dance in front of Abby, dance on stage,
before going to nationals.
It's nerve wracking, to say the least.
She's got to be on point.
She's got to be perfect.
She's got to be larger than life.
And I just have butterflies.
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please help me
welcome entry number 31, "I Scream for Ice Cream."
[applause]
[music - maniac, "the question"]
SINGER: If you had to choose your favorite flavor,
would sweet still taste so sweet?
Would five stars be a treat?
Oh, will you ever look at me like you
used to, like you used to do?
[instrumental music]
[applause]
Great job.
You were so good.
ANNOUNCER: All right.
It's time for our overalls for the day.
We're going to start with our top five solos.
ABBY LEE MILLER: Elliana, Lilliana--
they're not getting another chance
to compete before nationals.
This is it.
This is what I have to base nationals on.
ANNOUNCER: In fifth place, we actually have a tie, between
entry number 30, "Am I Enough?"
and entry number 31, "I Scream for Ice Cream."
[applause]
In fourth place, we have entry number 18, "Forget Me Not."
They got fifth?
Huh?
Fifth?
YOLANDA: Fifth.
That is absolutely unacceptable.
