02x08 - Boot Camp #2

[bunniefuu]

Let's have a little
bit of a sing-off here.

Let's do it.

Oh!

[Vocalizing]

[Vocalizing]

I want my mom. [Crying]

You guys are gonna
have to go home.

You are gonna have
to work hard tomorrow.

You are through to
the next round.

You're through.

It's day two of boot camp.

And there's only
acts remaining.

This a head-to-head challenge.

We put the remaining
acts into pairs.

So they're gonna compete
with each other.

When I call out your
name, please step forward.

Tara Simon... will be dueting
against jennel Garcia.

One could make it.

Both could make it.

Neither could make it.

Vino Alan.

You will be dueting
against David correy.

I gotta really bring it.

And they've gotta decide themselves which
part of the song they're gonna sing.

So it's entirely
in their hands.

Paige Thomas.

Cece frey.

[Crowd "oohing"]

'Cause, like, I know that it's like
we're in a time crunch or whatever...

I know. I know.

I just... I can't do that song.

Because that song is totally...
or we can learn it.

That's why... I mean,
it's boot camp.

We're gonna have
to learn songs.

Level , you guys will
be dueting against emblem.

Level 's got nothing
on emblem, man.

This is what I want.

I want it to be a head-to-head
battle with emblem.

Because the minute we get them
out of this competition, we're

the only three-man boy group.

That's it.

On this task, forget about
friendships, forget about nerves.

It's one-on-one.

By the end of this task, there will only
be acts left in this competition.

The battle is on for a
place at the judges' homes.

All right, we wanna

This is actually a perfect song.

I'm not the girl that has to try
hard every single time and,

like, k*ll you and knock you over the
head with high notes and big loud notes.

I'm very excited to show
the judges my softer side.

It's different than
anything I've done.

I think it's smart
for both of us.

I've done, like, everything,
like, upbeat, you know?

Me too.

This is different.

Yeah.

Okay, great.

That was easy.

My biggest challenge is, um, I don't
wanna let someone intimidate me.

I just turned .

And it's the first time I've
been away from my family.

It's really emotional for me.

Like, I didn't think that
I would make it this far.

So it's, like, really great.

[Crying]

They're really happy for me.

And I don't wanna
let them down.

So, let's hope that today goes
well, 'cause, you know, this is

not just my dream,
it's their dream too.

Nice to meet you.

Yep.

Um, there's an "x"
right over there.

Marks the spot.

I'm so nervous for them.

Oh, it's a
nightmare, this task.

This is my chance to really
make a difference in my life and

start doing music in a big way.

I don't believe things like
this come around often.

I've been waiting.

I've been waiting
for you, x factor.

Hello, girls.

Both: Hey.

How are you?

Very well, thank you.

How are you?

I'm fabulous.

Right.

Well, listen, best of luck.

Just don't get it.

Was it too, like, mellow?

Yeah. Yeah.

You didn't represent
yourselves.

I wanted to show you I could
do, like, a simpler side.

But I can give you more all the
time, if that's what you want.

I'm gonna guess, Tara,
you chose the song.

And you know what?

I feel really bad

But that's the way it goes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

She just totally
clipped her wings.

Tara?

Well, it was, like, jennel...
she was just, like, this

washed-up afraid little person,
compared to where we first saw

her.

I think maybe he was looking
for something more powerhouse,

but, you know, that's
the whole thing.

You take risks and...
sometimes they work,

sometimes they don't.

Yeah.

He didn't like our song choice.

But he said nothing about
not liking the performance.

I'm not reading into it.

I just felt out

It wasn't... it wasn't you.

It wasn't me at all.

Thank you, girls.

Thank you.

I thought both of
them were very good.

From experience, like, it's
so hard when you're that young.

That's my only worry.

It's my roommate that I'm
going against, David correy.

We go through all these rounds
and now here we are, down to

the final .

So definitely, the pressure is
high to really see who wants it.

And at my age, you
know, I think

this is probably one of the only
ways I can get in the door.

You know what I mean?

Vino is my brother.

But today, I need to
crush the competition.

Everything about my struggle is
what I look at when I look at

those judges' eyes.

From being adopted and wanting
to know my birth mother, I need

this competition.

I want this competition,
and I'm ready to win.

Hello, guys.

How are you?

We are great.

I wanted to let y'all know one
thing that I bring on the stage

every time I come up here.

Every time I look at you, you,
you, and you, I see the four

roadblocks that block me from
almost getting to my dream.

What's the song?

It's Marvin gaye with...

I really felt

What?

Come here.

What?

Come here, I wanna

He thinks he's blown it.

Or the other one outsung

Whoa.

He scares me a little bit.

Yeah.

I have no idea what's
going on with vino.

But I think he's too
hard on himself.

I think he did great.

And I think he deserves this
moment just as much as anybody

on this stage.

That's serious.

I just [Bleep] up serious.

I love vino's voice.

I really like it.

There's a rawness to it.

Yeah, he's something, huh?

I don't think there's a voice
like that out there right now.

I mean, say the words, dog.

No, it's all good.

I ain't gonna get violent.

my opportunity, man.

fighting for their lives.

Here we go.

We got this.

You know, one person out of
everyone here is gonna win.

It could be either of you.

One of your lives could
change completely.

Yeah.

You know?

Singing onstage with her,
that's gonna be awesome.

But, you know, still...

It is boot camp, so you have
to do what you gotta do.

I was combined
with diamond white.

I'm very, very nervous, because
she has an amazing voice.

This is such a big
opportunity for me and my mom,

because I wouldn't have
been here without my mom.

She's taken me to auditions.

And even though her back is always
hurting, she's still there for me.

So, there's nothing big enough to
explain, like, how much this means.

I'm not just here
to compete for myself.

I'm also here to
compete for my family.

[Exhales] I'm okay.

I live with people.

I have three sisters
and two brothers.

And all my cousins
live at home with me.

If I were to win $ million, I
would help my family actually

have the house to themselves.

And it would mean the world to me if I
were to make it to the judges' houses.

This one I have high hopes for.

I'm really nervous.

[Panting]

Good luck.

I'm anxious about what's
gonna happen, because this is

the performance that's
gonna decide your fate.

So how are you?

I am nervous.

You know what?

You've both done
brilliantly so far.

All right, best of
luck, both of you.

Thank you very
much indeed, guys.

I've room with Paige
since I got here.

We are having a
sing-off tonight.

And, uh, our song selection
is secrets by onerepublic.

I think the judges
are gonna love it.

It's definitely a little bit
tense, because we're both going

for the same thing.

So, the competition
is definitely there.

She said she
wanted to do secrets.

I didn't wanna do it.

And I did not
agree on the song.

I left the room saying I did
not wanna do this song.

How did it go from you saying
you don't wanna do the song

though to... now you're
doing the song.

Like, what happened?

I know you guys have kind of had
a little competition the other

day.

♪ And I-I ♪

♪ will always love you ♪

[Booing]

I don't feel like it's really
truly going up against each

other.

I feel like one person has the
better advantage over the other

one because... this is one of
those deciding moments right now.

How much do you want this?

I'm here to win.

Not necessarily here
to make friends.

Now is the time to make
it to the next round.

And that's exactly
what I'm gonna do.

♪ And I don't wanna ♪

♪ do this anymore ♪

♪ I don't wanna be the reason ♪

Uh-oh. It's showtime.

This is it, the last two.

Grand finale.

It is the grand finale.

You look great, both
of you, by the way.

Both: Thank you.

Yeah.

Okay, so girls, how did you
end up choosing the song?

Uh... uh, we were actually
just going down the list and...

Paige came across secrets.

She said, "what's this song?"

I'm like, "oh, secrets
by onerepublic.

We could do a lot with that."

And I think we did do quite
a bit with the song.

Okay.

Paige, let me start with you.

Why do you think
you should win?

[Deep breath]

I don't fit in anywhere else,
except for under the spotlight.

I've tried so many
different things.

I mean, besides being a
mother, that's about it.

You know?

I'm tired of seeing all these artists
do things that I know that I can do.

[Sniffles]

Um, I'm sorry, I
don't mean to cry.

It's all right.

It's just been such an
emotional day, up and down.

I get it.

But it's what I was born to do.

All right, Cece?

I wanna succeed... as
bad as I wanna breathe.

I want this like the very
oxygen that is in my lungs.

I'm coming out here and
I'm fighting for it.

I don't know if you believe in me yet,
but I will make a believer out of you.

And I will not leave this
competition until each and every

one of you believes
that I am your winner.

Okay.

Thank you both.

Let's do it.

[Vocalizing]

Thank you, girls.

Both: Thank you.

They look exhausted.

I've never seen anyone
look so tired in my life.

I didn't wanna sing that song
but that... it doesn't matter,

'cause that's the
competition, you know?

[Crying]

Just walking on before they
sang, I felt like it was warrior

time.

Mm-hmm.

Which one do you like?

I like Paige.

Very good.

If they have to choose one of
the two of us, it has to be me,

because she messed up.

I didn't.

That's great.

I do like both of
them, I gotta tell you.

Sucks being
wrong, doesn't it?

For the rest of you, that's
the end of the competition.

[Cheers and applause]

You have no idea
what's coming your way.

[Laughs]

That's exactly the
group that I wanted.

This is gonna be tough.

[Indistinct chatter]

He's gonna be furious.

[Indistinct singing]

Did we just witness that?

Yeah.

We're looking for
the whole package.

[Indistinct singing]

It's almost right.

And the bar has been raised.

Do you think she
believes that she's a star?

That's the question.

My strategy is a
little different.

Look around, this is your competition.
