Rocsi: Last week, ten singers took the stage
for the most unlikely audition
in singing competition history,
not as themselves,
but as their very own computer-generated alter ego.
( vocalizing )
eight of them took one step closer
to becoming the world's first digital superstar,
and two identities were revealed to our judges before being sent home.
This is freaking nutty-nuts.
Tonight...
♪ and I
five more unlikely singers lay it all on the line.
Nevaeh: I've faced a lot of challenges in my life,
and this is what I see in the mirror.
Singing is not an accepted thing in my religion.
- I'm actually a pastor. - What?
♪ unleash the power
rocsi: At stake, a chance to win $100,000
and be mentored by our superstar panel of judges...
I can't help but want to meet the real you.
- All in hope of becoming... - ♪ unleash the power
the first digital superstar of our next generation.
You're right up there with the greatest.
I'm just wondering about the human behind this.
This is "alter ego."
rocsi: Give it up for your all-star judges
will.I.Am.,
alanis morissette,
grimes,
and nick lachey!
You guys ready for tonight?
You ready for these auditions, grimes?
Yes. Yes.
I was very like, "yes, ma'am."
what are you looking for tonight in these auditions?
I'm looking for exploding head emoji.
- Okay. - I'm looking to be, like, blown away.
Also the connection between the human being behind the alter ego.
It'd be lovely to see what stage they're at
with their relationship with their alter egos.
Music has always pushed the edge of the envelope,
and always pushed the boundaries,
and that's why I'm so happy and proud to be a part of this show.
All right, obviously it's a very different
judging experience that's gonna be happening here.
You guys have no idea of the human identity
of the person that's actually singing.
Now it's time to meet our first alter ego
the dawn majesty.
What the what the what?
All right, the dawn majesty,
I've got to ask you first about your name.
Why can't it just be dawn majesty?
Dawn majesty felt a little too informal.
When you have the opportunity to name yourself
and give yourself a title, you choose a title.
I mean, come on!
Can I just say how blown I am away
with the freaking facial expressions and stuff?
Right, do you see this skirt?
- A lot of movement. - Would you look at that? A full skirt.
What? You just, like, blew my orange hat off.
Alanis: Besides confidence,
what qualities are in this alter ego
that you want to foster in your day to day human incarnation?
The dawn majesty gets to bring forward
parts of my true self that I have neglected,
parts that are a bit too strong,
maybe not vulnerable or heartfelt enough.
My name is kaleia, I'm 33 years old,
and I am originally from orlando, florida.
My experience in the music industry
has been a lot of ups and downs.
I was married for over a decade,
and I put off my career for my marriage.
But it was my dream. It was one of those dreams I kind of gave up on.
And I've been through so many things,
but that's still just a very real truth in my life.
But I'm going through a divorce,
and I'll admit, I'm excited.
With the dawn comes new beginnings,
so my alter ego's name is the dawn majesty.
( vocalizing )
- just think about your character. -
The technology of the alter ego is whatever I do,
whatever my movements are, the alter ego does as well.
You don't realize how awkward you are
until you're observing yourself as a skeleton.
So there's sensors on all of my joints,
and it goes through this process of capturing that motion,
and the alter ego is completely controlled by my movement.
What?
Absolutely incredible.
She is a superhero.
I want her to have a superpower. Yes!
The dawn majesty gives me a vehicle to know
that you can live your dreams, you can fight for them,
and it's worth fighting for.
Are you ready to become a digital superstar?
Oh, I am so ready. Are you guys ready?
- Is everybody ready? - We're ready.
Yes!
I think it's cool when people come on here
with a message they want to get across.
Yeah, I like that she's inverse of some of the other ones, too.
She, like, presents confident in the real world...
- But knows deep down-- - which I think it's, like, a common thing.

And let's take a second to give it up for the musicians
who are backing up each one of these performers tonight:
Adam blackstone and the alter ego band.
Now, the dawn majesty,
nick, I know you were questioning the "the."
I'm just calling her your majesty from now on.
- Right, for real. - Your majesty.
I am humbled and honored to perform for legends.
- I feel incredible. - How confident was her audition, nick?
As confident as it possibly could be.
I mean, she came out of the gate with so much energy
and so much confidence and strength.
It was amazing. Amazing.
I was blown away.
Yeah, I actually forgot that there was someone backstage singing.
I was just, like, enthralled by the performance.
- I love the laser eyes. - The freaking laser eyes!
Yo, what the what, the what, the what?
- Alanis? - When you came out to perform,
I mean, it was one after the other.
Just like feminist icon coming out just going,
"what is in fact wrong with being confident?"
- you know? - Will.I.Am: I'm sorry.
It's like-- I'm still blown away.
The dawn majesty, as our first performer,
you can go ahead and take your place on the diamond.
Yeah.
Remember, the alter ego who is standing on the diamond
at the end of the show automatically advances
to the head-to-head round, okay?
There are four more alter egos still to audition.
We'll be right back.
The age, where she's from...
Yeah, no. I can't call this.
I have absolutely no idea.
♪ and I wish you joy
that was my favorite performance of the whole competition.
Israa: I need the alter ego because I don't fit
the conventional idea of a pop star.
- What the what? - Was that tears?
- Wow! - Yeah, man, for real.
I'm blown away by this technology.
Rocsi: Which alter egos are advancing to the next round,
and who will reveal their true identity to the judges?
- Yeah! - Hi, nick.
- Whoa. - You put me in the friend zone.
Oh!
Here we go. Places, everybody.
- Check, one, two. - In three, two, one.
This is "alter ego," the singing competition
where one lucky contestant gets the chance to become the superstar
they were always meant to be.
It's time to meet our next alter ego, kingston sol.
I love being a pastor.
I love being able to serve people.
But doing "alter ego," I can get a little bit wild.
My name is james peck, I'm 35 years old,
and I do music ministry particularly.
Church singing is not about
can I have the craziest performance?
But the chance of having an alter ego gives me some freedom
just to, like, sing the hell out of some songs.
We put on a bodysuit which is really tight
and leaves nothing to the imagination.
And it captures our facial expressions,
how we sing, how we emote, our body motions.
And by putting on our helmet and our suit,
we become our alter egos.
Kingston sol gives me a chance to be free.
Oh, my god.
A chance to be the artist
that I've always dreamed of being.
It feels like he has this physical presence.
I just want him to have a lot of heart.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
That is exactly what I want.
He's got a big grin and big hair.
I just wanted him to be bigger than life.
♪ yeah
I think it would be so fun
to kind of just play and have fun onstage.
Yeah!
Hey, kingston sol.
- Hey, he looks cool. - Robin: I see you.
I'm getting, like, a nick nolte vibe here or something.
Or, like, who's the guy-- is it meatloaf?
- Hey! - Aloha.
- How you feeling today? - I'm feeling the vibes. I'm feeling good.
Why is his booty shaking like that?
I got that booty, I'm telling ya.
So, kingston sol.
So s-o-l, does it mean "sun"? What does it mean to you?
Well, you nailed it right on the head for me.
- "sol" as latin for "sun." - right.
And I'm all about love and light.
Mmm. I love that.
The gentle giant.
- What do you do for a living? - "I booty shake."
I'm actually a pastor,
and I've been a spiritual leader
for a long time of my life.
It's okay, will. We can party in church.
I swear to god, I did not mean to say
that the pastor was booty shaking for a living.
- I did not mean none of that. - Kingston: It's okay.
It's all good. It's all good.
Okay, are you ready to sing for us, kingston sol?
Yeah, I'm ready to sing.
- Take it away. - Thanks.
I wonder if, like-- "what do you want your avatar to do?"
and he was like, "yo, make my booty jiggle."
"I need my booty jiggling."

Came to play tonight.
Oh, my goodness, I think all the girls
were, like, swooning in here.
- Oh, man! - It's not just the girls swooning.
- I'm swooning now. - Kingston: Oh, nick!
You was, like, crouched down and freaking hearts was coming out your chest.
I'm like, "yo, what the what the what?"
well, kingston sol, you did absolutely amazing.
But was it enough
to knock the dawn majesty off the diamond?
Judges, it is that time to decide.
Kingston, when you came out, I had no idea
what genre of music or how your voice would be,
- and it was a pleasant surprise. - Awesome. Thank you.
And I could tell that you were one with the song.
I totally resonate with that idea of being lost
and then being found by love, so, yeah.
- Grimes: Yeah. - I could really feel your connection to the lyrics,
and that was palpable.
Grimes: Oh, my god! He has real tears.
- Alanis: Oh! - What the what the what?
- Is that tears? - Grimes: Yeah.
Will.I.Am: Wow, are you for real for real?
- Yeah, man, for real. - I'm really blown away by this technology.
The dawn majesty, I loved your performance,
but I believe kingston sol resonated with me
in a way that is going to kindly, in a canadian-american way,
ask you to jump off that diamond to make space for him.
Rocsi: All right. Grimes?
Kingston, I thought you actually had the best sfx.
Those hearts were awesome.
But, dawn, I think you might be the best pop star I've seen so far.
- ( gasps ) - wow!
So I'll keep dawn on the diamond.
Rocsi: All right.
So it's one and one right now. Nick?
Kingston sol, I am so intrigued by your alter ego.
Your message, it's just so impactful,
and that's the thing making me put kingston sol on the diamond.
Rocsi: Wow. Okay.
We have two votes for kingston sol
and one vote for the dawn majesty.
Will, it is all on you.
So, the dawn majesty's performance was majestic,
and her power was, like, earth-shattering.
And I didn't think that there was any competition until kingston sol came up.
You got a cool personality, and when you were singing,
that s-o-l became s-o-u-l.
My mom would be like, "now that boy could sang."
this is a tough one.
Are you on the sol train or not?
Uh...
Aloha, bro. I'm going with sol.
- Yeah! - Awesome.
- Congratulations, kingston sol. - Robin: Kingston sol!
You knocked the dawn majesty off her spot of the diamond,
which means the dawn majesty
is now in jeopardy of going home later.
But it's okay.
Coming up, three more very special singers
are going to wow the judges.
This is "alter ego" on fox.
Kingston sol rocked it,
and it is unbelievable to be the artist I've always wanted to be.
Welcome back. This is "alter ego."
kingston sol, currently on the diamond,
safe from elimination.
For the moment.
And, judges, while you keep on guessing who they are,
me and my friends at home will keep on meeting the people
behind their alter egos,
like the one who created night journey.
It's really easy to look at me
and make assumptions as to, like, who I am as a person.
But I'm 100% out to break the stereotypes.
I need an alter ego because I don't fit
the conventional idea of a pop star.
I'm israa, I'm lebanese-american,
and I'm a singer-songwriter.
I've always liked to sing,
even though it's not necessarily an accepted thing
in my religion or my culture.
And because of that, people look at me,
and they assume that I'm doing something bad.
At first, I got a lot of hate,
a lot of people telling me that I was going to hell for making music.
I got people telling me to take off my hijab if I want to make it in music,
which is, like, super offensive.
My interpretation is that music is empathy
and empathy is love,
and my religion, islam, means "peace."
so it's peace and love and music,
and that's all connected to me.
My alter ego's name is night journey.
Night journey actually is my name.
Israa means "night journey" in arabic.
When I perform, I really, really want her to glow.
That is so dope.
Night journey brings me courage,
and she empowers me.
I would love to win "alter ego."
I want to prove that a muslim girl can be a pop star.
You know, things are changing, and it's really cool.
I'm a part of that change, that's why it's so cool.
- Hey! - Nick: Okay.
Night journey, I think you have the most beautiful name
and the most beautiful alter ego we've seen here tonight.
- So, yeah. - Thank you.
You serving looks today. We serving looks out here.
Where are you from, night journey?
- I am from the dark. - Wow!
- That's where I'm from. - "where you from?" "I'm from the dark."
"we serving looks."
I'm from the dark, too. Dark skin.
- Yeah, you are. - Hey!
- Come on! Nick! - Whoo!
So, night journey, a lot of people tend to dream in the night.
So I'm curious, what's your dream?
My dream is to be right here where I'm standing.
This is amazing, this is such a cool opportunity,
and I'm so happy to be here.
This is actually my first audition.
- Wow. Wow. - My first big audition.
- Whoa. - I've always been different.
I've always been more of an outsider.
And this was an opportunity for me to be a musician,
for me to be a singer,
and to put everything else aside.
And that's why I'm here. I'm here to shine my light.
Well, I would love to hear what you have to perform for us tonight.
This is the best character design, for sure.

rocsi: Amazing and beautiful.
You said that you felt like an outsider,
but, girl, you sitting at the cool kids table right now.
- How you feeling? - I feel like it. I feel amazing.
It is time for the judges to decide
whether your audition was enough
to take the diamond from kingston sol.
Grimes?
Yeah, that was my favorite performance
of the whole competition.
Robin: Wow.
Oh, my god. Thank you so much.
Yeah, I actually had chills, which is hard.
- I feel like that's-- - girl, don't make me cry right now.
I am such a huge fan of you, grimes.
And any time you want to borrow this fit,
you know, my wardrobe is your wardrobe.
- So this, all this-- - you guys are swapping clothes already?
Yeah, I have to say, I think you should be on the diamond.
- Thank you so much. Thank you. - All right.
What you just did is wow an audience
with your simplicity and your storytelling.
A lot of times, in my opinion, that's harder to do
than to do some crazy riff, and it's more impressive.
But there was something about kingston sol's performance
that just puts it slightly over the top for me,
so I want to keep kingston sol on top of that diamond.
Rocsi: Okay.
All right, one and one right now. Will?
Night journey's audition was awesome.
I loved your answer on where you're from.
I'm still flipping on that.
It's pretty gangsta, right?
No, that's-- that's beyond gangster there.
That's beyond, yeah.
But my mama is gonna get mad at me
if I don't keep kingston sol up there on that diamond.
Rocsi: Wow. Well, okay.
So far we have two votes for kingston sol
and one vote for night journey.
It just--it's a lot of pressure right now, alanis.
- I feel sorry for you. - Thank you for your empathy.
There are so many details in your alter ego aesthetic
and then also the performance and the song choice.
It was just a nice blend of everything that I love the most,
- so I'm gonna make this a tie... - What?
Alanis: ...And choose night journey.
Rocsi: Okay, since the judges have voted for a tie,
guess what, audience?
It is up to you guys to decide
who gets to go up on that diamond.
Please vote now.
Kingston sol or night journey?
The votes have been counted,
and I can now confirm that the audience voted for...
Kingston sol.
You get to stay up on the diamond.
Sadly, that means that night journey
is now at risk of being eliminated at the end of the show.
- No! - After the break,
a performer who is ready to push boundaries
and change how the world sees her.
More "alter ego" on fox after this.
Nick: Yeah!
I feel like she's young with an old soul, though.
Yeah, super old soul.
I keep tripping on the fact that there's somebody backstage
singing all this stuff that we never get to see, you know?
Welcome back to "alter ego."
now please give it up for nevaeh king.
- Whoa, cool. - Okay!
Nick: Okay.
Yes! Hey.
- Nevaeh king. - Yes, yes.
Wow, thanks for coming here tonight.
- I think will likes you. - Hi, will.
- Hi, nick! - Oh! Whoa. Oh!
I've had a crush on him for a very long time.
Well, tell me a little bit more about yourself then.
- Let's speed date. - Speed date.
Why do you feel like you need an alter ego?
Well, I faced a lot of challenges in my life,
and this is what I see in the mirror.
Love it.
My whole life, I've had people try to put me in some pretty box,
but I've always been an oddity.
And as nevaeh, I get to match
the look and the sound as one.
My name is jay miah,
and I am the voice behind nevaeh king.
Based on looks, I'm a man,
but I've had a lot of people
assume I was a woman when I sing.
So with nevaeh, I'm able to get people
to fall in love with my natural voice
and not come with any pretenses.
So becoming nevaeh king has been a really fun process.
Wow! Yes.
This is exactly what I'm talking about.
Nevaeh is totally a glamour goddess.
I myself, as jay,
wouldn't necessarily flirt with nick.
But onstage as nevaeh, it's all in fun.
I know nevaeh king can be the next major superstar.
I don't want to be eliminated round one.
I know I'm going to shine.

It just got harder.
First of all, let me just say this.
I felt like you were singing that entire song to me.
Oh, yes.
It's so awesome to be able to exude
this character and become her.
Rocsi: I love it.
Well, it's one thing to impress the judges
with your audition.
But it's another to impress them enough
to make it on the diamond.
This is so hard. Does kingston sol get to stay on the diamond
or does nevaeh king get to take his place?
Kingston sol is my man,
and he and I are gonna have drinks later at the bar,
but nevaeh king belongs on that diamond.
All right.
Yeah, that was sick.
Both of you guys represent futurism
in a unique way that I haven't really seen before.
Nevaeh, I think you're one of the best looking
alter egos of this whole thing,
and I am gonna vote for nevaeh to go on the diamond.
Rocsi: That's two votes right there.
Alanis, dying to know what you think.
I love your voice, nevaeh, so much.
But kingston sol, I just resonate with your frequency in a big way,
so I'm gonna keep kingston sol up on that diamond.
- Nick: Okay. - We're 2-1 right now.
- Will? - Before she sung, nevaeh knocked my socks off.
Then she revealed her crush with nick
and put me in the friend zone.
But you brought it, like, for real,
and that level of talent not on the radio
or not having albums out,
that breaks my heart.
So, nevaeh on the diamond.
All right!
Nevaeh king, congratulations.
Yeah!
Which means kingston sol is now in danger
of being eliminated at the end of the show.
A lot is gonna happen. Stick around, because we'll be right back.
- I picture maybe 50-ish? - Yeah?
That's where the show gets me, though,
'cause I could be completely off.
Like, she could be anything.
This is "alter ego," and I am rocsi diaz.
Have you guys been impressed with the auditions tonight?
I don't want to send anyone home.
Well, we're gonna have to.
- Do we really have to? - Yep, we really have to.
52 people on that diamond. Let's do this.
Well, there's only one alter ego left,
and no everyone at home gets a chance to learn about st. Luna.
I'm a little nervous.
I don't like being on camera.
The being onstage part of performing
is probably my least favorite part of it.
My name is sarah eisen, I am 21,
and I am from berkeley, california.
When I was 12 and I started modeling,
I looked really old for my age,
and I was being perceived as an adult woman really young.
And it created a very nuanced relationship
with my body from a really young age.
I think this show allows me to take away
that aspect of being a musician,
and the way I look shouldn't be necessary
for me to have a career in music.
♪ rise up like I'm marching through the fire ♪
the name of my alter ego is st. Luna.
I've been working with the team to try and really customize it.
Oh, wow.
Is there any way that we could change the pants?
Oh, yeah, that's better. I like that.
St. Luna, I really wanted her to be
this super strong, confident woman.
I think that st. Luna sets me up in a really good way.
I think that we could do really well together.
♪ rise up
yeah!
What's up, st. Luna? Let's start with the name.
St. Luna is very cool.
Do you feel bonded to your alter ego?
Yeah, I think we're still figuring each other out a little bit.
We're exploring our relationship.
- Right. - Yeah, it's definitely new.
What is cool about "alter ego" to me
is I can separate my music from my image,
and I get to have bodily autonomy.
- Alanis: Nice. - That's what I'm really looking for here.
Well, let's hear it. We're ready to hear it.
I hope she's good, 'cause she looks great.

St. Luna, way to close it out on these auditions right now.
Oh, stop.
It's time to figure out if it was enough to earn you
that spot on the diamond tonight.
This is a huge decision.
Grimes, what did you think of st. Luna?
Should she be on the diamond?
I voted nevaeh up there, so I think she's great.
But I just think st. Luna seemed more futuristic,
and I think you're using the technology really well.
Like, I just think you look sick
and probably the best of the night.
So I'm gonna vote for st. Luna...
- Okay. - Into the diamond.
That is one for st. Luna. Nick?
There was something that really drew me in.
You were so soulful.
And I love the approach of the song, too,
and that's why I would like to put st. Luna on the diamond.
Wow.
Will?
St. Luna, you were awesome.
Your voice is spectacular.
To nevaeh, although you put me in the friend zone...
Oh!
You brought it, like, for real.
So I'ma keep you on the diamond, girl.
Oh!
Well, right now we're at two votes for st. Luna,
one for nevaeh. Alanis, no pressure.
"back to black" is one of my favorite songs in the world,
so you definitely had a little extra edge for me.
- And you performed it beautifully. - Thank you.
St. Luna, you're going straight to the next round.
What?
Thank you so-- oh, thank you!
Rocsi: Congratulations to st. Luna.
You can take your place on that diamond right now.
Okay!
And since you are the last contestant of the night
to be on the diamond,
you automatically advance to the next round.
We're gonna see you in the head-to-head.
Right now, our in-studio audience will vote for their favorite alter ego.
The two that get the most votes
advance to the next round along with st. Luna.
Then it will be up to our judges
to decide which of the remaining two alter egos stay in the competition,
and which one will reveal their true identity
to the judges and go home.
Don't go anywhere.
It's gonna suck when we have to kick someone off.
Easily my least favorite part of this whole thing.
Everybody, places.
Going to rocsi in three, two...
Welcome back to "alter ego."
four contestants remain,
and only three of them will move on.
We've tallied the audience's votes,
and the top two alter egos
advancing to the next round,
in no particular order, are...
Nevaeh king!
And...
Kingston sol!
Congratulations.
You will be moving on
to the head-to-heads with st. Luna.
And now it's in your hands, judges.
My heart's beating.
Rocsi: You have to decide which one of these alter egos
gets to stay in the competition
and which one will reveal their true identity
and go home tonight.
So, first off, dawn majesty was awesome.
I feel like night journey has a lot of pain.
I feel like there's some depth in her.
There's a lot of soulful, spiritual symbolism.
- Was she the best one? - I don't know. Um...
This is so tough.
- Are we all... - Yeah.
Let's do it.
Rocsi: Between the dawn majesty and night journey,
who is going home?
Judges, what is your decision?
The truth is, we would love to see where both your journeys go,
but at the end of the day...
...The night journey is who we'd like to have head to the next round.
Rocsi: All right!
Congratulations to the night journey.
You move on to the head-to-head.
The dawn majesty, we would really love for you
to sing one last time for us
and reveal your true identity to the judges.
- Yeah! - It would be a pleasure.
I don't want to regret my choice. I know I'm about to.

Judges, I would like to introduce you
to kaleia, aka the dawn majesty.
There's a unique place in hell for judges like us.
Hey, not me! I voted for you, girl.
Appreciate you, will.I.Am.
- Will.I.Am: Your range is, like, powerful. - Thank you.
Of course, we were wondering about the human behind this.
So, of course, I was picturing all kinds of versions
of what you may be, and they're all wrong.
I'm blown away.
We were, like, having massive regrets.
You're, like, an unbelievable singer. Sorry.
- Oh, thank you. - Yeah.
What would you like to say to your alter ego?
Thank you for being strong for me,
and thank you for letting me step forward as myself.
And I am not scared to be seen.
Kaleia, thank you so much for being here tonight.
I cannot wait to see what happens next week.
We'll see you then. Good night.
That was sick.
