Drea murray: Oh, my god, niecy.
Niecy nash: Well, you are the cutest thing

Welcome.
Drea murray: Hi niecy.
How you doing? Niecy nash: Hi.
So talk to me, tell me a little bit more about yourself.
Drea murray: Ok, well I am from colombia, niecy.
(audience applauds and cheers) niecy nash: Colombia.
Drea murray: I'm from colombia.
Niecy nash: I like it.
Drea murray: And I got here when I was 15 years old
With my suitcase, my guitar,
And I stayed with my abuelita, and...
Niecy nash: That's grandmother
For those of you who don't speak spanish.
Drea murray: You know I came here with a lot of dreams
And, like literally, decades later,
I'm not even going to tell you how many,
(niecy laughs) here I am.
And still making my beautiful american dream,
Living here, on stage with you,
Hopefully about to win a million dollars.
Niecy nash: I know, that's right.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Well, you got a big rock on your finger.
Drea murray: Yes.
Niecy nash: Does a husband go with it?
Drea murray: Yes, love of my life,
The air that I breathe, brandon.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Drea murray: He's a georgia boy.
We got married under this beautiful full moon in cartagena
And here we are, 14 years later.
16 years together and yeah,
Oh, my god, there's mavie, our son.
Niecy nash: Yeah, oh, there he is. How old is he?
Drea murray: I love him so much.
He's six years old and his name is maverick
And he's a total maverick.
Niecy nash: I love that.
Alright, let's get you some money.
Here's how it's going to go.
If you give me the correct missing lyrics...
Drea murray: Holy smokes. Niecy nash: To 10 songs,
I'm going to give you $1 million.
(audience applauds and cheers) drea murray: Yes.
(dramatic music)
Oh, my god.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look
At your categories for tonight.
Drea murray: Holy smokes.
Niecy nash: Wedding songs, tv themes, funk,
70s, britney spears, pop, today's hits,
Soft rock, and rap.
Now the first song is worth $2,500
And the money keeps growing
Right up to the million dollar song.
And if you make it to $25,000,
That money, drea, is guaranteed.
(audience applauds and cheers) drea murray: Oh.
Niecy nash: All right, so,
Which category would you like to play for first?
Drea murray: Oh.
(audience shouts) ok.
So the first thing I saw was wedding songs,
'cause I was, like, thinking about brandon
And I'm like, you know, maybe this is the way to start
And it's with love, so I want to play wedding songs.
Niecy nash: All right. (audience applauds and cheers)
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
(drea speaks spanish)
Niecy nash: "I hope you dance" by lee ann womack
Or "just the way you are" by bruno mars.
Drea murray: Ok. Both of these songs are so beautiful.
I have to say though, "just the way you are" by bruno mars.
Niecy nash: All right. (audience applauds and cheers)
So for this song, drea,
I am going to need four missing words.
Drea murray: Ok.
Niecy nash: We'll start the song from the top.
Drea murray: Here we go. (laughs)
Niecy nash: Let's go, ricci.
("just the way you are" by bruno mars)
♪ her eyes, her eyes
♪ make the stars look like they're not shining ♪
♪ her hair, her hair
♪ falls perfectly without her trying ♪
♪ she's so beautiful

♪ just the way you are
(audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: All right.
All right, let's take a look at it.
Bruno mars said, "when I see your face,
There's not a thing"
You said, "I can replace 'cause".
♪ there's not a thing
Niecy nash: How are you feeling about this answer?
Drea murray: Wow, I want to be certain.
Niecy nash: Ok, so you have two backup options.
First is your backup singer.
Who did you bring with you today?
Drea murray: Oh, my goodness, I love her,
My cousin angie.
(audience applauds and cheers) yes!
Niecy nash: Here's the thing,
Cousin angie can help you out but only on one song.
Or you have five words.
If at any time you're unsure of a word,
Just tell me which one it is
And I will reveal the correct word.
Now you can use all five words at once
Or you can spread them out across the game.
Drea murray: Oh.
Niecy nash: Would you like to use one of your backups?
Drea murray: I didn't want to have to do this so early.
Oh, I would like to use one of my backup words.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Which number would you like to see the correct word for?
Drea murray: Two.
(words whoosh)
Oh. (speaks spanish)
(speaks spanish) (audience laughs)
♪ so when I see your face
♪ there's not a thing that I would change ♪
Niecy nash: Would you like to see that up there?
Drea murray: Yes.
(words whoosh)
Niecy nash: How are you feeling about this answer?
♪ there's not a thing that I would change ♪
Drea murray: Definitely better than replace.
(audience laughs)
I mean like, 'cause like, yeah, change.
Niecy nash: Well, I'm glad you replaced that.
(all laugh)
Drea murray: Oh, man.
I'm going to lock in those lyrics, niecy.
(audience applauds and cheers) (dramatic music)
Niecy nash: You locked in those lyrics.
If you are correct, the entire line will turn green.
If any word is wrong, it will turn red.
And my friend, the game is over.
Drea murray: Is on.
Niecy nash: No, not on, over.
Drea murray: Well no. I'm going to say the game is on.
I'm thinking positive here.
Niecy nash: All right.
So for $2,500, is the game on
And it's, "that I would change"?
(drum roll)
Drea murray: Please.
(triumphant music)
(drea screams) (audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: You just banked $2,500.
Let's try and double that right now.
This next song is worth $5,000.
(audience applauds and cheers)
My little spitfire.
Which category is going to get us that money?
Drea murray: Something is telling me britney.
(audience applauds and cheers)
I don't know why.
Niecy nash: All right.
Here are your two song choices.
"I'm a slave for you" or "stronger".
Now, do you know either of these britney songs?
Drea murray: Well, I mean who can forget?
(audience laughs)
Like, nobody can forget that, right?
Niecy nash: Well, listen, I like your dance moves,
But do you know the lyrics.
Drea murray: "stronger", that song I know better
And I think that I can identify a little more with it.
I think I would like to go with "stronger".
Niecy nash: Ok.
(audience applauds and cheers)
All right, so for $5,000, I need four missing words.
Drea murray: We're going to do this.
Niecy nash: All right.
(audience applauds and cheers) (drea speaks spanish)
Niecy nash: Ricci, we're going to start the song
Before the first chorus.
("stronger" by britney spears)
♪ you might think that I won't make it ♪
Niecy nash: Hey. ♪ on my own
♪ but now I'm stronger than yesterday ♪
♪ now it's nothing but my way
♪ my loneliness ain't killing me no more ♪
(audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: Let's take a look.
Britney said, "now it's nothing but my way.
My loneliness ain't".
You said, "killing me no more".
Drea murray: "killing me no more".
Niecy nash: How are you feeling about this answer?
Drea murray: I'm feeling good.
(drea hums)
Niecy nash: Ok.
♪ my way
♪ my loneliness ain't killing me no more ♪
Niecy nash: What do we think?
(drea hums)
♪ stronger
Drea murray: I'm just like,
I'm trying to think of like the video,
You know, she's like so powerful there, you know.
Niecy nash: So what do you want to do, my dear?
Drea murray: Niecy, I'm going to lock in those lyrics.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: All right. (dramatic music)
You locked in those lyrics.
Drea murray: Yes. Niecy nash: For $5,000,
Is it, "killing me no more"?
Drea murray: Oh, my god.
(drum roll)
Oh please, please.
(triumphant music)
(drea screams) (audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: You did it.
That is $5,000.
Only eight songs away from the million dollar song.
Drea murray: Oh, my god.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: Now let's try and double that money again.
This time we're playing for $10,000.
(audience cheers)
Drea murray: Yes!
Niecy nash: All right.
What are you thinking you want to sing next?
Drea murray: Ok, I am going to go with pop music.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Yes!
Niecy nash: Going to go with pop?
Drea murray: Yes.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
Drea murray: Ok.
(words whoosh)
Niecy nash: "roar" by katy perry
Or "step by step" by new kids on the block.
Drea murray: Oh, wow. Ok.
So I have to say I do love the new kids on the block,
But I'm not nearly as familiar as with katy perry, "roar".
And I have to say this song is actually so empowering
And the reason why I identify with this is,
May, 2021, I wanted to expand my family
And for some reason I thought to myself
I needed to go get myself checked.
Unfortunately I went from, like,
Let's go get pregnant to I have breast cancer and I...
But it's fine.
It's all good because I'm here and so...
(audience applauds and cheers)
Yes, yes, yes!
You know, I literally,
I put my love for my family and my son
And I just went out there
And I just roared back at this thing and I'm here.
And yes, let's do "roar"!
Let's do "roar", niecy.
(words whoosh)
Niecy nash: I love that
And I'm so glad that you are doing well.
Drea murray: Thank you.
Niecy nash: I cannot wait
To hear you sing this song.
Audience member: Yeah! (audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: All right.
Drea murray: Here we go.
Niecy nash: For this particular song,
I'm going to need five missing words.
(audience exclaims)
We'll start the song from the top.
Are you ready to roar?
Drea murray: I am ready to roar. (laughs)
Niecy nash: Ricci, she's ready.
("roar" by katy perry)
♪ I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath ♪
♪ scared to rock the boat and make a mess ♪

Angie: Woo!
Niecy nash: Hey!
(drea laughs)
(words whoosh)
Niecy nash: You felt that?
Drea murray: Oh, my goodness.
Niecy nash: All right.
Katy perry said, "'cause I am a champion",
And you said...
♪ and you're going to hear me roar ♪
♪ oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(audience laughs)
Niecy nash: That's exactly what you said,
"you're going to hear me roar".
Are you confident in this answer, drea?
Drea murray: Oh, niecy, let's lock in the lyrics!
(audience applauds and cheers)
(dramatic music)
Niecy nash: All right.
Drea murray: Do it.
Niecy nash: You locked in those lyrics
And then you did the running man.
Let's see. (audience laughs)
For $10,000, is it, "you're going to hear me roar"?
Drea murray: Oh, my god.
(drum roll)
(triumphant music)
(drea screams)
Niecy nash: You did it!
You just made $10,000!
Only seven songs left.
But first we got to get ready
To turn it into $25,000, guaranteed.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Are you ready?
Drea murray: Yes!
Niecy nash: Are you ready?
Drea murray: I'm ready, niecy!
Niecy nash: Are you ready?
Drea murray: I am ready, niecy.
Niecy nash: Well you got to wait till after the break.
We'll be right back.
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to, "don't forget the lyrics".
Our little ball of energy, drea,
Just roared her way into $10,000.
(audience applauds and cheers) drea murray: Yes.
Niecy nash: She still has her backup singer,
Which is cousin angie,
And four words, if she needs help.
Now, we want to get her to a million
But the game is about to get harder.
(dramatic music) (audience exclaims)
There are six categories left.
This next song is worth $25,000 guaranteed.
(audience applauds and cheers)
You just got to know the lyrics.
Drea murray: Yes.
Niecy nash: Now what would you do with $25,000?
Drea murray: Goodness.
You know, obviously these last couple of years
Have been insane.
So for me to be able to be like,
Not only am I back, I'm better,
And I want to be able to, you know, make memories.
So, like, we can take a trip
And enjoy this next part that god has given me.
Like, he's given me another chance, so I'm here.
(audience applauds and cheers) niecy nash: All right.
I love that for you.
Which category is going to get you that 25 grand,
Tv themes, funk, 70s, today's hits, soft rock, or rap?
Drea murray: Oh.
(audience shouts)
Some of the best music was created in the 70s.
Niecy nash: Sure.
Drea murray: And today's hits,
I mean it could be something that,
Like, maybe it's from today,
And I have no idea about it. (niecy laughs)
And I'm just like, what is going on?
Oh, I'm just going to, like, let god guide me
And let's go for 70s.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: Ok,
Let's take a look at your two song choices
"hooked on a feeling" by blue swede
Or "midnight train to georgia"
By gladys knight & the pips.
(audience shouts)
Drea murray: Oh, my gosh, I should've done today's hits.
Ay!
It's so crazy because my husband's from georgia
And like literally, "midnight train to georgia"
Should be the one to pick.
But "hooked on a feeling", I might know a little better.
So I'm going to go with "hooked on a feeling".
(audience applauds and cheers) niecy nash: Ok.
(words whoosh)
This is for $25,000 guaranteed.
I am looking...
Drea murray: Oh, my god.
Niecy nash: For six missing words.
Drea murray: I might need some help here.
Niecy nash: And we're going to start the song from the top.
Drea murray: Oof.
Niecy nash: Ok,
Drea murray: Maybe, maybe it'll come to me.
Ok, come on.
Just come to me.

♪ that you're the one for me
(words whoosh)
I don't know.
(dramatic music)
Niecy nash: Blue swede said, "I'm high on believing".
You said, "that you're the one for me".
Drea murray: Yes.
Niecy nash: How are you feeling about this answer?
Drea murray: I mean, "I'm high on believing
That you're the one for me",
Feels good to me, but I am not 100%.
I think I need to be certain.
So niecy, I want to use one of my backup words.
Niecy nash: Ok, so which line
Would you like to see correct?
Drea murray: Line number four.
(words whoosh)
Niecy nash: So what are you thinking?
Would you like to lock in those lyrics?
Drea murray: I want to be smart.
I need to be certain.
I don't want to...
I don't want to go and I'm not certain.
Ok, niecy,
I would like to use my backup line
With the last word.
I just need to make sure.
(words whoosh)
Ok.
Niecy nash: Are you feeling a little more confident now?
Drea murray: Yes.

And two words left if she needs help.
Drea murray: Ok.

Drea murray: Yes.
I'm just scared that I should have then
Maybe used the one. (laughs)
♪ that you're the love for me
Ok, niecy, just lock in those lyrics. (laughs)
(dramatic music) (audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: All right.

Drea murray: I hope so.
(drum roll)
(dramatic music)
I knew it. I knew it. (audience exclaims)
Niecy nash: Drea, I am so, so sorry.
(drea cries) I'm sorry.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: Angie, do you know the answer?
Angie: I am uncertain, niecy.
Niecy nash: You are uncertain too.
Let's take a look at the correct lyrics.
(words whoosh)
(audience exclaims)
Drea murray: Of course.
Niecy nash: "that you're in love with me".
I am sorry you didn't win anything.

You got your health, you got your family,
And that is the most important part, ok.
(upbeat music)
One more time for drea.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Drea murray: Thank you.
Niecy nash: Let's bring out another rock star right now.
(upbeat music) (audience applauds and cheers)
He has a preacher for a father and a teacher for a mother.
And he's a worship leader who goes by the nickname
Thick and delicious.
Oh! (laughs) (audience laughs)
That sounded like I was describing myself.
From charleston, south carolina,
It's grayson little.
(audience applauds and cheers) (upbeat music)
All right, I got to jump right in and ask the question.
Grayson little: Let's do this. Come on.
Niecy nash: Why do they call us
Thick and delicious?
(audience laughs)
Grayson little: Because we got all the right curves
In all the right places, niecy.
Niecy nash: Hey.
Grayson little: You know what I'm saying?
Hey. Hey.
(all laugh)
Niecy nash: Now I have seen a lot of worship leaders.
Fun fact, I used to be the first lady of a church.
Grayson little: Ok.
Niecy nash: I've lived a lot of lives.
But I've never seen a worship leader that looked this fly.
Grayson little: Hey listen, what can I say?
My style just reflects my personality.
I'm big, bold, and beautiful, baby.
Niecy nash: I know that's right.
Now, were you always like this growing up?
Grayson little: Yeah, growing up
I was always a thicker kid.
I was bullied growing up as a kid for my size,
But I used that power against them
And I became thick and delicious.
I just used my personality
And used who god created me to be.
Niecy nash: I love that.
Grayson little: Thank you. Thank you.
Niecy nash: You know, you are a man after my own heart
Because I did the same thing.
I ended up, you know how you have to put your name
On your cheerleader sweater?
Grayson little: Oh yeah.
Niecy nash: Mine just said big mama.
I just went with it.
Grayson little: Ooh. (audience laughs)
Ain't nothing wrong with that.
Niecy nash: It ain't nothing wrong with that.
Grayson little: Ain't nothing wrong with that.

Niecy nash: Let's do it.
Let's take a look at your categories for tonight.
R&b, teen idols, 2000s, journey, pop,
Alternative, oldies, dance hits,
And grammy winning artists.
Which category do you want to play for first?
Grayson little: Oh, there's so many.
There's so many.
I like grammy artists.
Dance hits, yeah, oh.
I'm not too sure so I'm going to hold off,
I think, on that one.
Honestly, I'm going to start with alternative.
(audience applauds and cheers) niecy nash: Alternative.
(words whoosh)
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"two princes" by spin doctors
Or "sk8er boi" by avril lavigne.
(audience shouts)
Grayson little: Everybody had their emo phase
Growing up, you know what I'm saying?
(audience laughs)
"two princes", spin doctors,
That's a classic, but it's wordy.
So I'm going to go "sk8er boi", avril lavigne.

Niecy nash: Ok, I like it.
Grayson little: Let's do it.
Niecy nash: So for this song,
I am looking for four missing words.

Avril lavigne said, "she said, see you later, boi,
He wasn't".
You said, "good enough for her".
How are you feeling about this answer?
Grayson little: I am 100% confident with this answer.
So we're going to go ahead and lock in those lyrics.
Niecy nash: Lock in those lyrics.
(dramatic music)
Alright, you locked in those lyrics.
For $2,500, is it, "good enough for her"?
(drum roll)
Grayson little: Come on.

That's what I'm talking about, baby!
Niecy nash: You just made $2,500
And you are on your way to that million dollar song.

Into thick and rich.

Welcome back to, "don't forget the lyrics".
Grayson's emo phase just paid off big time

(audience applauds and cheers)
Let's try and double that money right now.
This next song is worth $5,000.
(audience applauds and cheers)
All right, which category do you want to choose next?
(audience shouts)
Grayson little: Oldies is speaking to my soul.
Reason being one of my favorite memories
Growing up as a kid
Was driving to school with my dad
And we'd listen to oldies all the time
And I just want to make him proud.
Let's go oldies.
Niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"be my baby" by the ronettes
Or "get ready" by the temptations.
Grayson little: Niecy,
You don't know how happy I am right now.
(audience applauds and cheers) (evan laughs)
Niecy nash: Do you know one of these songs?
Grayson little: "get ready" by the temptations.
My dad and I used to sing it together all the time.
Niecy nash: What?
Grayson little: We're going to go
"get ready", the temptations.
Niecy nash: All right.
(words whoosh) this one is for dad.
I am going to need three missing words
And we'll start it from the tippy top.
Grayson little: From the tippy top.
Niecy nash: Let's do it, ricci.
(audience applauds and cheers)
("get ready" by the temptations)
♪ I never met a girl
♪ who makes me feel the way that you do ♪
♪ you're all right
Niecy nash: Hey.
♪ whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real ♪
♪ I say that you do
♪ you're out of sight
♪ so fee-fi-fo-fum
♪ look out baby, 'cause here I come ♪
♪ and I'm bringing you a love that's true ♪
♪ so get ready, so get ready
♪ I'm going to try to make you love me too ♪

(audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: Hey.
(words whoosh)
All right.
The temptations said,
"I'm going to try to make you".
You said, "love me too".
How are you feeling about this answer?
Grayson little: Niecy, again,
I am 100% confident in this answer.
I'm ready to lock in those lyrics, baby.
(audience applauds and cheers)
(dramatic music)
Niecy nash: You did not hesitate.
You locked in those lyrics.
For $5,000, is it, "love me too"?
(drum roll)
(triumphant music) (audience cheers)
Grayson little: Yes! Come on!
Niecy nash: That is $5,000!
Only eight songs left to the million dollar song.
Now let's try to double that money again.
This time we're playing for $10,000.
(audience applauds and cheers)
All right.
Let's see what you're thinking about
For your next category.
(audience shouts)
Grayson little: Niecy, I've got to decide
Either between teen idols or journey.
Growing up, my sister
Would always listen to brit pop artists.
So my thinking behind that is I should know it.
Journey is one of my favorite bands of all time.
Niecy nash: Mm.
Grayson little: But we might as well
Roll with this family train
And we're going to go teen idols
And I'm going to do it for my sister. Here we go.
Niecy nash: All right. (words whoosh)
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"break free" by ariana grande, featuring zedd
Or "I just want to be your everything" by andy gibb.
(audience shouts)
Do you know these songs?
Grayson little: I don't know either of these songs.
(audience exclaims)
Niecy nash: At all?
Grayson little: Between the two, if I had to choose one,
I would do "break free".
(words whoosh) (audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: For this song,
I am looking for four missing words.
Grayson little: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we'll start the song from the top.
Good luck, brother.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Ricci, hit it.

♪ if you want it
♪ take it
♪ I should have said it before
Hey.
♪ tried to hide it
♪ fake it
♪ I can't pretend anymore
♪ I only want to die alive
♪ never by the hands of a broken heart ♪
♪ don't want to hear you lie tonight ♪

Grayson little: Shoot.
(audience exclaims)
I can't resist it no more.
(audience applauds and cheers)
(words whoosh)
Niecy nash: Let's take a look.
Ariana grande featuring zedd said,
"the part when I break free 'cause I can't".
You said, "resist it no more".
(dramatic music)
Grayson little: I did say that.
Niecy nash: You did. (audience laughs)
Grayson little: Are those the lyrics?
I am not 100% sure.
Niecy nash: Mm.
This is going to get interesting.
Grayson little: It is, real quick, real fast.
Niecy nash: Mm.
What would you like to do?
(graphics whoosh)
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to, "don't forget the lyrics".
Grayson has cruised through his first two songs
And banked $5,000.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Right now we are playing for 10,000.
Evan: Yeah.
(dramatic music) niecy nash: Ariana grande
Featuring zedd said,
"the part when I break free 'cause I can't".
You said, "resist it no more".
Grayson little: I'm going to work it through real quick.
♪ part when I break free
♪ 'cause I can't resist it no more ♪
That fits.
I know the last two words are no more.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Grayson little: I would like to use one of my words.
My first word, please.
Niecy nash: You want to use a backup?
Grayson little: I do. Niecy nash: Ok,
Which line would you like to see correct?
Grayson little: Line one, please.
(words whoosh)
(audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: Feeling a little more confident now?
Grayson little: You know what?
I came here to have fun and win some money.
Let's lock in the lyrics, niecy.
(audience applauds and cheers)
(dramatic music)
Niecy nash: All right.
You locked in those lyrics, my dear friend.
For 10,000 is it, "resist it no more"?
(drum roll)
(grayson groans)
(triumphant music) (audience applauds and cheers)
Grayson little: Shut up! Yes! (laughs)
Niecy nash: You just made $10,000.
Grayson little: Woo.
Niecy nash: Only seven songs left
To the million dollar song.
But the game is about to get harder.
(dramatic music)
Grayson little: Suspense.
Niecy nash: There are six categories left
And this next song is worth $25,000 guaranteed.
Grayson little: That's a lot of money.
Niecy nash: You just got to get it right.
Grayson little: That's a lot of money, niecy.
Niecy nash: Right, now what would you do with $25,000?
Grayson little: I really want to take care
Of my mom and my sister.
They were my lifeline growing up as a kid.
I'm going to tear up a little bit.
Anytime I got into trouble,
They didn't judge me for anything I did.
I've fallen off the wagon, I'm a christian,
But I've fallen off the wagon so many times
And they were right there to welcome me every single time.
And them being teachers, they don't make a lot of money.
And I would like to give them a little bit of something
So that they can go treat themselves.
(audience applauds and cheers)
I love that.
Alright, so which category is going to be able
To take care of mom and sister?
(audience shouts)
Grayson little: Niecy,
I think we're going to go with journey.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: Alright,
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"any way you want it" or "lights".
Now you make me nervous
'cause every time you grab your knees,
I feel like you're having an anxiety attack.
Grayson little: No, no, no, no, no.
I'm just a very,
I'm a very outspoken person with my body.
So we're going to go with "any way you want it".
(audience applauds and cheers) (words whoosh)
Niecy nash: Ok.
This is for $25,000 guaranteed.
Grayson, I am looking for six missing words.
(audience exclaims)
Grayson little: Six missing words. Ok.
Niecy nash: Oh, you all stop pouring it on so thick.
(audience laughs)
And I would love to start this song before the first chorus.
Grayson little: Let's do it.
Niecy nash: Ricky let's do it.
(audience applauds and cheers)
("any way you want it" by journey)
♪ all night, all night
♪ oh, every night
♪ so hold tight, hold tight
♪ oh baby, hold tight
♪ she said any way you want it
♪ that's the way you need it
♪ any way you want it

♪ any way you want it
♪ I was alone
♪ I never
♪ I was alone
♪ I never knew
(words whoosh)
Grayson little: Niecy,
Dadgummit, why'd I pick journey?
(dramatic music)
Niecy nash: Alright, let's take a look.
Journey said, "I was alone, I never".
You said, "knew" followed by dah, dah, dah, dah,
Dah, dah, dah. (audience laughs)
Grayson little: Yes, I did.
Niecy nash: Yeah. (grayson laughs)
And I think I know the answer to this.
How are you feeling about this answer? (laughs)
Grayson little: Oh, I'm feeling terrified.
(grayson laughs)
Niecy nash: You still have four backup words...
Grayson little: Yes, ma'am.
Niecy nash: That you can use.
And you have your backup singer.
Grayson little: Yes, ma'am.
Niecy nash: Who did you bring with you tonight?
Grayson little: I brought one of my best friends.
His name's evan henry.
We led worship together in our early 20s.
(audience applauds and cheers)
But I brought him because he is very well versed in music.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Well evan can help you out with the answer,
But only on one song.
Would you like to use any of your backups?
Grayson little: I'm going to call on my backup singer.
I'm going to bring evan to the stage.
(audience applauds and cheers) niecy nash: All right.
Grayson little: Come on, evan.
Evan: Hey, niecy. Niecy nash: How you doing?
Grayson little: Hello, baby. Please god help me.
Niecy nash: Evan, are you a big journey fan?
Evan: I am also a big journey fan, yes.
Niecy nash: Ok. Are you familiar with this song?
Evan: I am not as familiar with this song.
(audience exclaims)
Niecy nash: Ok, do you have any idea
How to fill in the lyrics?
Evan: Maybe it's,
"I was alone, I never knew that".
(dramatic music)
I'm just not entirely sure,
Not entirely sure.
Niecy nash: Evan, I wish we had a backup for you too.
Evan: I know, I know. I know.
Niecy nash: Well let me just tell you this.
Thank you very much, friend. Evan: Absolutely.
Niecy nash: Thank you very much for coming up.
Grayson little: Love you. Niecy nash: Thank you.
All right.
So because this is $25,000 guaranteed,
Would you like to use your backup words that you have left?
Grayson little: I would, niecy.
Niecy nash: Ok, which line
Would you like to see correct?
Grayson little: I would like to see line six.
(words whoosh)
Something do, so it's an action.
That doesn't really help much at all.
Niecy nash: Ok.
♪ I was alone
♪ I never knew
Grayson little: Can we put the words up that he said?
(words whoosh)
Niecy nash: He said, "knew that".
Grayson little: Niecy, I'm going to do another word.
Niecy nash: Ok, which one would you like to see?
Grayson little: Word one, please.
(words whoosh)
♪ I was alone
♪ I never knew that
I got to get to that 25,000,
So I'm going to use another word.
Niecy nash: Ok. Which one?
Grayson little: I'm going to use word five.
(words whoosh)
♪ I was alone
♪ never knew
(dramatic music)
Son of a gun.
(graphics whoosh)
(upbeat music)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to, "don't forget the lyrics".
Grayson so far has banked $10,000.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Now we're playing for $25,000 guaranteed.
All right. Would you like to use your last word?
(dramatic music)
Grayson little: I wouldn't like to,
But I'm going to have to use my last word.
Niecy nash: Ok, which line
Would you like to see correct?
Grayson little: Dadgummit.
Let's get a full line and go four.
Niecy nash: Please reveal the correct word
For line number four.
Grayson little: I could do.
(words whoosh)
That's what, that's what love...
Could I see that's what love could do, please?
(words whoosh)
(grayson exhales)
Niecy nash: How are you feeling about it now?
Grayson little: Not confident at all, niecy.
Niecy nash: Ok, here are your options.
Grayson little: Yes, ma'am.
Niecy nash: You can lock in these lyrics.
If you are correct, $25,000 is yours
And you would be well on your way
To the million dollar song.
But if you are wrong, you would leave with nothing.
Or you can bow out with the $10,000 you've already banked.
What would you like to do?
Grayson little: Ooh.
♪ I was alone
♪ I never knew
That's something.
Can I see "that's something love could do".
Niecy nash: Sure.
(words whoosh)
Grayson little: Dadgummit. (sighs)
♪ I was alone
♪ I never knew that's something love could do ♪
Kind of fits, kind of doesn't.
Niecy, I hate to do this, but $10,000 is,
For me is a lot of money
And I think I'm going to bow out.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Niecy nash: Ok.
Evan: Yeah.
Niecy nash: You are leaving...
Grayson little: Yes, ma'am. Niecy nash: With $10,000.
(triumphant music) (audience applauds and cheers)
Let's see what the correct answer is.
(words whoosh)
(audience exclaims) grayson little: Thank god.
Niecy nash: You made the right decision.
(audience applauds and cheers)
Grayson, you are going home with $10,000!
Let's hear it for grayson!
(upbeat music)
Next time, more singers, more songs, more missing words.
And $1 million on, "don't forget the lyrics".
Goodnight.
Grayson little: Oh, hey.
Evan: Hey.
