DIRECTOR: Asia Monet.
(SINGING) Dream on, my jam.
[inaudible] wrap your hands.
Dream on, my jam.
[inaudible] wrap your hands.
Stop.
DIRECTOR: Asia Monet.
Go.
Go, guys.
Stop.
Go.
Stick out.
Hand go snake.
Go.
ANTHONY: My job is to make the performance better.
Asia can't just go on stage and perform a flat track that
you've recorded in the studio.
You have Asia standing on the shoulders of dancers.
We have this amazing Janet Jackson-style costume.
How can we not bring the song up to where we're going?
I have no doubt in my mind that Shauna is
going to have something to say.
But at this point in time, I don't care.
Let's try that one more time, yeah?
Six, seven, up.
I said, grab the necks.
Necks.
Go.
So you have to go like a rebound.
Asia, when you bounce-- no.
Come here.
Back like this.
When you bounce, [inaudible].
Now press on my shoulders there.
Here, we want to take your arms up.
Ow.
Asia, want your mic back?
No.
I want my mom.
Yeah [bleep].
KRISTIE RAY: What happened, baby?
She fell.
KRISTIE RAY: Where?
I was tossing her.
ASIA MONET RAY: [inaudible].
KRISTIE RAY: OK.
ANTHONY: Is this sore?
Rebound. - It's OK.
Hold on.
You're OK.
Falling back?
My tailbone.
KRISTIE RAY: You're OK.
You're OK.
It hurts.
KRISTIE RAY: OK.
Go for-- just, like, touch your toes.
Ow.
That hurts, right here.
That hurts.
Ow, that hurts.
It's killing me to see her crying.
All I know is that this routine's not completed.
Now she possibly could be injured.
This performance may not happen tonight.
Asia.
Asia's about to perform "Go Back" at Long
Beach Gay Pride Festival.
Great opportunity for us to gain this fan base.
Billy's here, and I'm sure he's going to notice the changes
that I made to the edit.
I only added an amazing, epic intro,
a few pauses, and a super hard dance break at the end.
I really hope he likes it.
And then again, I don't really care what he thinks.
ANNOUNCER: All right, Long Beach.
Please give it up for Asia Monet.
[cheers from the crowd]

(SINGING) Dream on, my jam.
[inaudible] wrap your hands.
Dream on, my jam.
[inaudible] wrap your hands.
I remember the times we had before we got in this mess.
I used to tell you everything.
As friends, you were the best.
See, I missed the nights we talk and jive, [inaudible]
to 2:00 AM, it's all right.
Maybe it's to start all over, maybe it can happen again.
I want to go back, back to the old you.
Playing [inaudible],, doing what I told you.
Back to when I needed you, 'cause every day that I'm
a failure, when I lose you.
You're better at back when you didn't feel like you
wouldn't need to pretend.
[cheers from the crowd]
DIRECTOR: Asia Monet.

(SINGING) Be the way you are.
Do what you know.
Be the way you act.
You're going slow.
You know who you are.
Do what you know.
Put it in the past, and lose control.
Be who you are.
Do what you know.
Keep away fast.
I told you so.
Be who you are.
Do what you know.
Put it in the past, and lose control.
[cheers from the crowd]
[music playing]
Asia killed it.
She always does.
But I was very upset about Anthony
putting music into the song that my team
and I wrote and produced.
