music at the end of the day
91
00:04:06,523 --> 00:04:07,822
is connect
with the song emotionally
92
00:04:07,958 --> 00:04:10,792

in that space together.

a lot better.

00:07:47,711 --> 00:07:49,444
do you think
you have what it takes
175
00:07:49,513 --> 00:07:50,879
to be saved again?
176
00:07:50,947 --> 00:07:52,914
Let's be honest, that last
performance was lackluster.
177
00:07:52,983 --> 00:07:54,983
Tonight I think
it's full of luster,
178
00:07:55,118 --> 00:07:57,986
and I took it from 24 karat
to platinum.
179
00:08:00,123 --> 00:08:03,491
I definitely felt a growth
in you tonight.
180
00:08:03,627 --> 00:08:05,727
I thought you had
much better command.
181
00:08:05,862 --> 00:08:07,362
The stage presence, man.
The splits?
182
00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:09,030
The splits!
183
00:08:09,099 --> 00:08:11,366
- Rocsi: Splits.
-
Yo, the splits.
184
00:08:11,501 --> 00:08:15,370
Nick:
You seem so self-assured
and very self-aware,
185
00:08:15,505 --> 00:08:17,939
and just remind me why you feel
like you need an alter ego.
186
00:08:18,074 --> 00:08:19,474
My whole life,
187
00:08:19,543 --> 00:08:21,910
I've been told that I've got
a voice made for performance,
188
00:08:21,978 --> 00:08:23,545
a voice made for the stage,
189
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,014
but there's something
about how the face
doesn't match the voice
190
00:08:26,149 --> 00:08:27,715
- and vice-versa.
- Ugh, I don't like that.
191
00:08:27,784 --> 00:08:29,050
Yeah, I'm not a fan either.
192
00:08:29,185 --> 00:08:32,086
But thankfully,
I'm here right now
193
00:08:32,188 --> 00:08:34,756
and what used to be
a liability is an asset,
194
00:08:34,824 --> 00:08:37,859
and I'm so filled
with gratitude for it.
195
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,595
Well said, man. Well said.
196
00:08:40,664 --> 00:08:43,464
You've really embodied
your alter ego.
197
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,034
You've really taken it on
like a suit,
198
00:08:46,102 --> 00:08:48,169
'cause it is a suit,
and in this case,
199
00:08:48,305 --> 00:08:49,737
singing through this vessel
200
00:08:49,873 --> 00:08:53,741
is transporting us to this
wonderful land of imagination.

your performance was great.

Huge improvement
from the other night.
203
00:08:58,315 --> 00:09:01,082
If you won this competition,
how would you see yourself
as an artist?
204
00:09:01,151 --> 00:09:05,420
I would do whatever I could
to learn and even collaborate
205

from other great artists,
such as this panel right here,
206
00:09:08,491 --> 00:09:11,326
and it would feel like
a massive confirmation
207
00:09:11,461 --> 00:09:13,294
that my voice
is worth recording
208
00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:15,964

for years to come.

intrigued by you as an artist.

00:14:56,339 --> 00:14:58,139
I appreciate that, ma'am.

Will.I.Am: I like
what you're dishing out.
316
00:15:00,243 --> 00:15:03,544
You took me for another ride
because I thought you were gonna
stay in that soul box,
317
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,080
but now you took me
on a folk pop ride,
318
00:15:06,182 --> 00:15:08,649
and that is entertainment.
319
00:15:08,785 --> 00:15:11,352
And you have that, so thank you
for tonight's performance.
320
00:15:11,421 --> 00:15:12,820
Aw, thanks so much, man.
321
00:15:14,557 --> 00:15:18,059

unique, laid back, um...
323
00:15:21,064 --> 00:15:23,397

almost on a beach,
you know what I mean?
324
00:15:23,466 --> 00:15:25,499
- Yeah, man.
- Shaka.
325
00:15:25,635 --> 00:15:27,234
But if I'm being
completely honest,
326
00:15:27,303 --> 00:15:29,570
I didn't like
tonight's performance
327
00:15:29,706 --> 00:15:32,273
as much
as I thought I wanted to.
328
00:15:32,342 --> 00:15:34,875
Something about
your first performance
329
00:15:34,911 --> 00:15:36,243
that just sucked me in
and wouldn't let me go.
330
00:15:36,312 --> 00:15:40,381
And I didn't quite feel
that same level of investment.

00:15:40,516 --> 00:15:41,916

what do you love
about being kingston sol?
333
00:15:44,587 --> 00:15:46,487
What I love about
being kingston sol
334
00:15:46,556 --> 00:15:48,456
is it takes away
all the prejudice,
335
00:15:48,591 --> 00:15:50,524
and I think what's happening,
it's freeing me up
336
00:15:50,593 --> 00:15:52,827
to realize maybe some
of the things I believe,
337
00:15:52,962 --> 00:15:56,197
like, the world is against me,
is actually just a lie.
338

00:16:08,144 --> 00:16:10,778
Rocsi: Come on,
give it up for kingston sol.
342
00:16:12,181 --> 00:16:13,614
What if they weren't human,
343
00:16:13,750 --> 00:16:16,183
so we could just eliminate them
without feeling bad?
344
00:16:16,252 --> 00:16:17,385
- Yes.
- Like, if it was just a game--
345
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,220
a video game.
They just dissolve into dust.
346
00:16:19,355 --> 00:16:21,389
Or a cartoon or something?
It's, like, "okay, bye."
347
00:16:21,457 --> 00:16:26,427
rocsi: Kingston sol
or orlando deville has to
go home tonight.
348
00:16:26,562 --> 00:16:28,496
You'll find out who after this.
349
00:16:31,334 --> 00:16:34,035
Announcer:
Let's find out who's heading
to the semi-finals next week.
350
00:16:34,203 --> 00:16:36,137
Results in three, two, one.
351
00:16:40,343 --> 00:16:42,109
Rocsi:
Welcome back to "alter ego."
352
00:16:42,178 --> 00:16:44,912
we're about to find out
which alter ego
353
00:16:44,981 --> 00:16:49,083
from this head-to-head match-up
will be put on the diamond,
354
00:16:49,152 --> 00:16:51,819
sending them through
to the next round,
355
00:16:51,954 --> 00:16:54,588
and which one will,
sadly, head home,
356
00:16:54,690 --> 00:16:58,926
revealing their true identity
to the judges in this process.
357
00:16:58,995 --> 00:17:01,695
Judges, it's time for you
to make your decision.
358
00:17:04,934 --> 00:17:07,935
- Grimes?
- So, orlando, I think
359
00:17:08,004 --> 00:17:10,271
you're an incredible singer,
but for me,
360
00:17:10,339 --> 00:17:12,573
at this point right now
in the competition,
361
00:17:12,708 --> 00:17:14,742
I'm sort of thinking less
about singing
362
00:17:14,877 --> 00:17:17,545
and more kind of about
the holistic artist package.
363
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,314
For that reason,
kingston to me right now
364
00:17:20,383 --> 00:17:23,384
is just sort of feeling more
like an artist I connect to,
365
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:27,354
and I would put kingston sol
on the diamond.
366
00:17:30,226 --> 00:17:32,226
That is one vote for kingston.
367
00:17:32,361 --> 00:17:34,228
Both of you guys
are extremely talented,
368
00:17:34,363 --> 00:17:37,631
but, kingston sol,
I like the risks you take.
369
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:39,900
You definitely have everything
370
00:17:40,036 --> 00:17:42,837
that it takes to be the next
generation of a superstar.
371
00:17:42,905 --> 00:17:47,641
And the person that
I wanna put through
372
00:17:47,743 --> 00:17:49,477
is kingston sol.
373
00:17:54,317 --> 00:17:57,818
So that is currently
two votes for kingston sol.
374
00:17:57,954 --> 00:18:00,087
Nick?
375
00:18:00,189 --> 00:18:04,992
Kingston sol,
I was wanting to see
a little bit more growth.
376
00:18:05,061 --> 00:18:07,461
Orlando, I feel like
you really rose to the occasion
377
00:18:07,597 --> 00:18:10,464
and you came in tonight,
and I thought put on
a great show.
378
00:18:10,533 --> 00:18:14,235
And to me, orlando
was the stronger tonight,
379
00:18:14,303 --> 00:18:16,604
and orlando deserves to move on.
380
00:18:20,543 --> 00:18:24,078
So that's two votes
for kingston sol,
381
00:18:24,147 --> 00:18:27,381
and one vote
for orlando deville.
382
00:18:27,517 --> 00:18:28,916
If there is a tie,
383
00:18:28,985 --> 00:18:31,218
it will go to the audience
to decide.
384
00:18:31,354 --> 00:18:34,054
- Alanis?
- Kingston sol,
I actually liked
385
00:18:34,190 --> 00:18:36,891
your first performance
better than this second one.
386
00:18:37,059 --> 00:18:38,893
Orlando,
I was very much blown away
387
00:18:39,028 --> 00:18:41,395
by how you're
an incredible showman.
388
00:18:41,464 --> 00:18:43,264
And it went to the next level
of showmanship--
389
00:18:43,332 --> 00:18:44,865
show-person-ship--
390
00:18:45,001 --> 00:18:48,035
'cause I actually don't know
if you're a man.
391
00:18:48,104 --> 00:18:50,571
So, it is for this reason
that I am gonna ask
392
00:18:50,706 --> 00:18:53,474
ask orlando deville
to go on the diamond.
393
00:18:53,543 --> 00:18:55,709
I'm gonna make this a tie.
394
00:18:57,747 --> 00:19:01,148
The judges votes are tied.
395
00:19:03,152 --> 00:19:05,886
Audience, get ready,
because you guys are gonna vote
396
00:19:06,022 --> 00:19:07,988
who gets the spot on
the diamond--
397
00:19:08,057 --> 00:19:10,424
kingston sol
or orlando deville?
398
00:19:10,493 --> 00:19:12,259
Please vote now.
399
00:19:15,565 --> 00:19:17,831
Well, they're probably going to
vote for orlando, I guess.
400
00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:19,567
- I don't know.
- Announcer: Okay,
here it comes.
401
00:19:19,702 --> 00:19:21,869
Announcer #2:
Great. So, audience...
402
00:19:21,938 --> 00:19:24,939
No matter what happens,
no matter how this vote goes,
403
00:19:25,007 --> 00:19:28,542
and I mean this
from the bottom of my heart,
I love you, brother.
404
00:19:28,678 --> 00:19:29,677
No matter what happens,
I'm really, really proud of us.
405
00:19:29,745 --> 00:19:31,412
- Me, too, man.
- Yeah.
406
00:19:31,547 --> 00:19:34,148
Rocsi: The studio audience
has voted for...
407
00:19:39,021 --> 00:19:42,189
...Orlando deville to move on
to the semi-finals.
408
00:19:48,197 --> 00:19:52,066
Congratulations,
orlando deville,
409
00:19:52,201 --> 00:19:56,270
the audience has voted
to put you onto that diamond.
410
00:19:57,907 --> 00:20:01,709
That means that
you're guaranteed a place
in the next round.
411
00:20:01,844 --> 00:20:04,845
We will see you
in the semi-final.
412
00:20:07,450 --> 00:20:11,385
Unfortunately, kingston sol--
my care bear.
413
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,553
I don't want him to go.
414
00:20:12,688 --> 00:20:15,055
Would you please
do us the honor,
415
00:20:15,191 --> 00:20:17,057
perform one last time,
416
00:20:17,193 --> 00:20:21,895
and finally reveal your
true identity to the judges?
417
00:20:22,031 --> 00:20:23,897
It would be
my complete honor. Yep.
418
00:20:24,033 --> 00:20:27,034
What could
kingston sol look like
when those doors open up?
419
00:20:27,103 --> 00:20:28,502
I have no idea.

Don't send him home! No!
439
00:21:44,246 --> 00:21:47,881
This is my buddy james,
aka kingston sol.
440
00:21:47,983 --> 00:21:51,752
- What's up, everybody?
- James!
441
00:21:51,887 --> 00:21:54,555
It's so nice
to meet you in person,
442
00:21:54,690 --> 00:21:57,558
and finally the judges get
to see your awesomeness as well.
443
00:21:57,626 --> 00:21:59,927
Will, what did you think?
444
00:21:59,995 --> 00:22:01,895
Will:
Now that we got to meet james
445
00:22:02,031 --> 00:22:05,399
and the secret no longer
needs to be kept,
where are you from?
446
00:22:05,468 --> 00:22:07,468
Yeah, I was born and raised in
orange county, california,
447
00:22:07,603 --> 00:22:10,971
but my parents immigrated here
in the '70s from south korea.
448
00:22:11,107 --> 00:22:14,441
Awesome.
449
00:22:14,543 --> 00:22:17,945
What do you think
you're gonna take away from
this alter ego experience?
450
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,382
So, I grew up in the '90s,
so, will.I.Am, alanis--
451
00:22:21,517 --> 00:22:24,385
nick, particularly--
I grew up listening to you guys.
452
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,754
But I when I listened
to the radio, nobody looked
like me on the radio.
453
00:22:26,822 --> 00:22:32,593
And so part
of the journey for me
on this show really is this.
454
00:22:32,728 --> 00:22:36,230
I would love, love,
love just to show the world
455
00:22:36,365 --> 00:22:38,766
that asian-americans
have a place
456
00:22:38,834 --> 00:22:41,001
in the space of music
and creativity.
457
00:22:42,471 --> 00:22:44,104
Yeah!
458
00:22:48,244 --> 00:22:49,877
Please, give it up
one more time for james,
ladies and gentlemen!
459
00:22:49,945 --> 00:22:52,012
James!
460
00:22:53,649 --> 00:22:56,083
Two of my favorite alter egos
are facing off
461
00:22:56,152 --> 00:22:57,384
right after this break.
462
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,586
It's st. Luna
and night journey.
463
00:22:59,722 --> 00:23:01,422
They'll be going head-to-head
464
00:23:01,490 --> 00:23:04,825
for the last spot
in the semi-finals
right after this.
465
00:23:15,070 --> 00:23:18,272
Welcome back to "alter ego."
I am rocsi diaz.
466
00:23:18,340 --> 00:23:21,308
It's the last night
of our head-to-head round.
467
00:23:21,444 --> 00:23:25,245
Obviously, it's important
for the singers to embody
their alter ego character,
468
00:23:25,314 --> 00:23:27,114
but what does that really mean
for you?
469
00:23:27,249 --> 00:23:30,117
We're looking for
a next generation superstar.
470
00:23:30,186 --> 00:23:34,588
So, for me it means
when you're watching
that performance happen,
471
00:23:34,723 --> 00:23:37,791
they're completely one
with their alter ego--
472
00:23:37,827 --> 00:23:42,229
voice, body, it's all one
synchronized moment
473
00:23:42,364 --> 00:23:44,064
that doesn't take you for
one second to think,
474
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,000
"wait a minute,
who is behind that alter ego?"
475
00:23:49,505 --> 00:23:51,438
now I hope you're ready
476
00:23:51,507 --> 00:23:54,508
for our second
head-to-head tonight.
477
00:23:55,478 --> 00:23:58,111
It's st. Luna
and night journey.
478
00:24:01,383 --> 00:24:03,183
Night journey versus st. Luna.
479
00:24:03,252 --> 00:24:06,987
♪ something
at the midnight hours... ♪
480
00:24:07,056 --> 00:24:09,223
in the auditions,
night journey wowed us
481
00:24:09,358 --> 00:24:11,158
with her emotion
and storytelling.
482
00:24:11,227 --> 00:24:12,459
Where are you from,
night journey?
483
00:24:12,595 --> 00:24:15,195
- I am from the dark.
- Wow!
484
00:24:15,264 --> 00:24:16,864
I'm here to shine my light.
485
00:24:16,999 --> 00:24:19,600
St. Luna's perfect vocal
earned her the diamond
486
00:24:19,668 --> 00:24:21,001
at the end of the night.
487
00:24:21,070 --> 00:24:24,037
You can take your place
on that diamond right now.
488
00:24:24,106 --> 00:24:25,305
Whoo-hoo!
489
00:24:25,441 --> 00:24:27,241
Whoever advances
to the semi-finals
490
00:24:27,309 --> 00:24:29,710
could really go all the way,
491
00:24:29,778 --> 00:24:31,912
and whoever wins the show
could become immortal
492
00:24:32,047 --> 00:24:34,948
due to the fact that
their body will never die.
493
00:24:35,017 --> 00:24:37,150
Their avatar could live
10,000 years into the future.
494
00:24:37,286 --> 00:24:39,219
Um, yeah.
495
00:24:39,355 --> 00:24:41,655
♪ something at
the midnight hours ♪
496
00:24:41,790 --> 00:24:44,191
♪ the midnight hours,
you know ♪
497
00:24:48,464 --> 00:24:49,463
yeah!
498
00:24:51,834 --> 00:24:53,567
Alanis:
Hi, night journey.
Hi, st. Luna.
499
00:24:53,636 --> 00:24:56,470
How have you been since the
audition time for both of you?
500
00:24:56,605 --> 00:24:57,905
I've been feeling really good.
501
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,440
I've been getting to know
my character,
502
00:25:00,509 --> 00:25:02,075
myself a little bit better.
503
00:25:02,144 --> 00:25:03,343
I'm singing a song this week
504
00:25:03,479 --> 00:25:05,178
that was really
a challenge for me,
505
00:25:05,314 --> 00:25:07,281
so I'm ready to share it!
506
00:25:08,817 --> 00:25:11,051
Obviously, I'm here to win,
507
00:25:11,186 --> 00:25:12,920
but the main goal
is to make sure
508
00:25:12,988 --> 00:25:15,222
that everybody feels what I feel
when I'm singing a song,
509
00:25:15,357 --> 00:25:17,024
because music is empathy to me.
510
00:25:18,661 --> 00:25:21,795
Do you feel like
you're kind of becoming one
with your alter ego?
511
00:25:21,864 --> 00:25:24,998
I feel like I'm becoming one
with my alter ego 100%.
512
00:25:25,067 --> 00:25:28,635
I've become such a confident
person because of night journey.
513
00:25:28,704 --> 00:25:31,104
Nick: So, st. Luna,
it is head-to-head,
514
00:25:31,173 --> 00:25:34,107
and does that bring out
your best performance
being in this kind of situation?
515
00:25:34,176 --> 00:25:35,442
St. Luna:
I am a competitor.
516
00:25:35,511 --> 00:25:37,578
I always wanna top
my last performance.
517
00:25:37,713 --> 00:25:40,914
This week I had to get
really competitive
to try and up my game
518
00:25:40,983 --> 00:25:43,183
and make sure I was making
the song sound good.
519
00:25:44,954 --> 00:25:46,687
St. Luna, you're up first.
520
00:25:46,755 --> 00:25:48,622

Judges, I am dying to know
what you guys think.
567
00:28:44,333 --> 00:28:45,432
Nick, I'll start with you.
568
00:28:45,501 --> 00:28:48,001
There's no rules
in music anymore.
569
00:28:48,070 --> 00:28:49,136
I mean, it's wide open.
570
00:28:49,271 --> 00:28:52,439
So, this show and what
we're experiencing here,
571
00:28:52,508 --> 00:28:54,875
there's no reason why
you couldn't take that
out on the road
572
00:28:55,043 --> 00:28:56,376
and see that live
in a concert.
573
00:28:56,512 --> 00:28:58,445
There's nothing about
her performance to me
574
00:28:58,514 --> 00:29:00,547
that took you out of it at all.
575
00:29:00,682 --> 00:29:04,484
I mean, the whole vibe
is just one great package
we're watching right now.
576
00:29:06,488 --> 00:29:08,588
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
577
00:29:08,657 --> 00:29:10,123
Will.I.Am?
578
00:29:10,259 --> 00:29:12,726
You definitely have
everything that it takes
579
00:29:12,861 --> 00:29:15,729
to be the next generation
of a superstar.
580
00:29:15,864 --> 00:29:17,731
Visually, it's there.
581
00:29:17,866 --> 00:29:19,699
Her talent, the confidence...
582
00:29:19,835 --> 00:29:21,701
- Yeah!
- Thank you!
583
00:29:21,870 --> 00:29:23,270
Rocsi: Alanis?
584
00:29:23,338 --> 00:29:26,540
I haven't really wrapped
my whole self around
585
00:29:26,675 --> 00:29:29,142
what your alter ego is
and what you are...
586
00:29:29,278 --> 00:29:30,410
Me either.
587
00:29:31,547 --> 00:29:32,913
You know, so for me,
the performance,
588
00:29:32,981 --> 00:29:36,183
I didn't feel
this emotional connection.
589
00:29:36,318 --> 00:29:39,986
And this show is all about
embracing your alter ego,
590
00:29:40,055 --> 00:29:43,023
and it's really up
to the human backstage--
591
00:29:43,158 --> 00:29:46,760
you know, it's all on you
to show us how that looks.
592
00:29:46,829 --> 00:29:48,862
So, grimes, what did you think
of her performance?
593
00:29:48,997 --> 00:29:51,431
Is this is somebody you're
gonna go check out in concert?
594
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:53,600
Did you connect
with her alter ego?
595
00:29:53,669 --> 00:29:55,068
Grimes:
Yeah, I mean, for me,
596
00:29:55,170 --> 00:29:56,736
you're one of
the strongest performers
597
00:29:56,872 --> 00:29:57,971
in the whole competition.
598
00:30:00,075 --> 00:30:02,809
Also, like, your vibe
is very chill and cool.
599
00:30:02,911 --> 00:30:04,511
I don't know.
I would, like, hang out
with you or something.
600
00:30:04,646 --> 00:30:08,882
I feel like when
I'm looking at it,
everything feels there.
601
00:30:10,786 --> 00:30:15,755
St. Luna was the judges'
favorite of her audition group
in round one.
602
00:30:15,824 --> 00:30:19,826
But was that performance enough
to win them over again
603
00:30:19,962 --> 00:30:23,430
or will night journey
be the one to secure the spot
in the semi-finals?
604
00:30:23,498 --> 00:30:25,365
You're watching "alter ego,"
the head-to-heads.
605
00:30:25,434 --> 00:30:26,600
We'll be right back.
606
00:30:34,943 --> 00:30:37,277
Announcer:
Night journey is in position.
607
00:30:37,346 --> 00:30:40,547
Over to rocsi
in three, two, one.
608
00:30:40,682 --> 00:30:43,583
Welcome back to "alter ego."
I'm rocsi diaz.
609
00:30:43,719 --> 00:30:46,519
We just saw st. Luna's
head-to-head performance,
610
00:30:46,588 --> 00:30:50,957
and the panel was split
on whether she really became
her alter ego.
611
00:30:51,026 --> 00:30:53,827
Will it be enough to move on
to the semi-finals?
612
00:30:53,962 --> 00:30:57,797
That all depends on what
our next alter ego can bring
to the stage tonight--
613
00:30:57,866 --> 00:30:59,799
night journey.
614
00:31:01,503 --> 00:31:03,904
Yeah, that was
my favorite performance
of the whole competition.
615
00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:06,506
Girl, don't make me cry
right now.
616
00:31:06,642 --> 00:31:10,710
During the audition round,
it was nice having night journey
as a performer for me
617
00:31:10,846 --> 00:31:13,914
because I didn't have to worry
about people judging me.
618
00:31:13,982 --> 00:31:15,882
I feel like I need
this alter ego
619
00:31:15,951 --> 00:31:17,083
because it doesn't matter
620
00:31:17,152 --> 00:31:18,685
who you are
or what you look like.
621
00:31:18,754 --> 00:31:21,121
She gives me an opportunity
to be a singer,
622
00:31:21,189 --> 00:31:24,658
and I might be able
to be the next digital
superstar because of her.
623
00:31:26,461 --> 00:31:29,296
My mom is gonna be
in the audience for
the head-to-head round,
624
00:31:29,431 --> 00:31:32,232
my mom and my grandma,
two of the women who
I've always looked up to.
625
00:31:33,835 --> 00:31:35,502
My mom is
my biggest role model.
626
00:31:35,671 --> 00:31:37,604
She grew up a single mom,
627
00:31:37,673 --> 00:31:39,940
so she's been through the dark,
628
00:31:40,075 --> 00:31:42,709
and she came out shining.
629
00:31:42,844 --> 00:31:45,478
She's always told me that I
was capable of doing anything.
630
00:31:47,549 --> 00:31:51,284
I definitely feel like
I have to step up my game
going against st. Luna.
631
00:31:51,353 --> 00:31:54,154
Her tone was so beautiful
and steady,
632
00:31:54,289 --> 00:31:56,389
this, like, powerful,
beautiful voice.
633
00:31:56,525 --> 00:31:59,893
Only one of us will be able to
move on to the semi-finals.
634
00:31:59,962 --> 00:32:01,795
( vocalizing )
635
00:32:01,863 --> 00:32:03,596
and so night journey
is gonna go out there,
636
00:32:03,665 --> 00:32:04,597
and she's gonna do
what she does best.
637
00:32:04,666 --> 00:32:05,899
I think she's gonna shine.
638
00:32:08,904 --> 00:32:09,903
Yeah!
639
00:32:13,075 --> 00:32:15,709
She feels, like, 16,
and I just--
640
00:32:15,844 --> 00:32:17,243

Soak it up.
672
00:34:08,824 --> 00:34:13,560
Judges, was that performance
worthy of a spot
in the semi-finals?
673
00:34:13,628 --> 00:34:14,994
Is night journey
the full package?
674
00:34:15,063 --> 00:34:16,896
Image, personality and talent?
675
00:34:17,032 --> 00:34:18,398
Grimes, I'll go to you first.
676
00:34:18,467 --> 00:34:21,234

00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,273
Oh, my god.
That means so much to me.
Thank you.
679
00:34:27,342 --> 00:34:29,375
For me, like,
what I favor in a singer
680
00:34:29,511 --> 00:34:31,077
is always gonna be character
in the voice.
681
00:34:31,146 --> 00:34:34,247
And, like, I kinda like when
your voice isn't always perfect.
682
00:34:34,316 --> 00:34:36,416
I like that
it just sounds very unique,
683
00:34:36,551 --> 00:34:38,218
and I just am a firm believer
in auto-tune.
684
00:34:38,353 --> 00:34:41,821
What matters now
is creative decisions
that are interesting.
685
00:34:41,957 --> 00:34:44,557
I like that you seem sort of shy
and brave at the same time.
686
00:34:44,626 --> 00:34:46,593
Like, what is it?
Antisocial extrovert-ish?
687
00:34:46,661 --> 00:34:49,662
Antisocial extrovert. Uh-huh.
Kendrick lamar said it first.
688
00:34:49,798 --> 00:34:53,500
He did? Okay. Sick.
689
00:34:53,635 --> 00:34:55,068
Um, yeah,
I'm just a huge fan.
690
00:34:55,203 --> 00:34:57,470
- I think you should win,
and I liked the song.
- Whoa.
691
00:34:57,606 --> 00:35:02,542
- Thank you so much, grimes.
- Alanis, what did you think?
692
00:35:02,677 --> 00:35:04,811
You are a great example to me
693
00:35:04,946 --> 00:35:07,180
of all the pieces of the puzzle
coming together.
694
00:35:07,315 --> 00:35:09,516
Just a big fan of your whole
overall package.
695
00:35:09,584 --> 00:35:12,719
Thank you.
696
00:35:12,787 --> 00:35:15,021
Will.I.Am, what did you think
of her performance?
697
00:35:15,157 --> 00:35:17,257
I thought the performance
was stellar.
698
00:35:17,392 --> 00:35:19,259
You brought vulnerability
to the show.
699
00:35:19,394 --> 00:35:21,561
You weren't trying
to be perfect,
700
00:35:21,630 --> 00:35:23,730
you were just trying
to relay the emotion.
701
00:35:23,865 --> 00:35:26,666
And a lot of people
cover their emotions up.
702
00:35:26,735 --> 00:35:29,903
They go on social media
and they do this, "hee-hee."
703
00:35:30,038 --> 00:35:31,104
( imitates crying )
704
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,273
- you know?
- Not uncommon.
705
00:35:33,341 --> 00:35:35,108
And I didn't get that
from your performance,
706
00:35:35,243 --> 00:35:38,111
- even through an alter ego.
- Thank you so much.
707
00:35:38,246 --> 00:35:39,846
So you're connecting
emotionally.
708
00:35:42,817 --> 00:35:44,083
Night journey:
Thank you. That was my goal.
709
00:35:44,152 --> 00:35:47,754
Because as night journey,
I wanted to be an example
710
00:35:47,822 --> 00:35:51,191
of the journey that
we go through in the night
when nobody else sees it.
711
00:35:51,326 --> 00:35:56,196
I so wanted to be able to be
a symbol of something dark
that's also light.
712
00:35:57,799 --> 00:36:00,266
You're alter ego to me
is very mysterious.
713
00:36:00,402 --> 00:36:03,503
And what makes
a next generation superstar
714
00:36:03,572 --> 00:36:06,105
is intrigue,
mystery, excitement.
715
00:36:06,174 --> 00:36:09,542
It's all the things coming
together with a great voice
716
00:36:09,678 --> 00:36:12,345
that keep us captivated and
keep us wanting to see more,
717
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:13,713
and you have all those things,
so great job.
718
00:36:13,782 --> 00:36:15,748
Thank you so much.
719
00:36:15,817 --> 00:36:18,218
Rocsi: Night journey
took us for a ride
with that performance,
720
00:36:18,353 --> 00:36:21,120
but will st. Luna
take the diamond once again?
721
00:36:21,189 --> 00:36:23,423
It's the last night
of the head-to-heads,
722
00:36:23,491 --> 00:36:26,326
and there's only one spot left
in the semi-finals.
723
00:36:26,428 --> 00:36:28,494
We'll find out later
who the judges think
724
00:36:28,630 --> 00:36:31,130
deserves that spot
in the semi-finals,
725
00:36:31,266 --> 00:36:35,268
but not before coming out here
and meeting them in person.
726
00:36:35,337 --> 00:36:38,137
I don't know how
we're gonna pick another
winner from this one.
727
00:36:38,273 --> 00:36:40,873
- One, everybody sings awesome.
- I know. That's the problem.
728
00:36:40,942 --> 00:36:43,543
- Two--
- if you could be less talented,
that would be really helpful.
729
00:36:43,678 --> 00:36:45,878
I'm so excited for her
and proud of her.
730
00:36:45,947 --> 00:36:47,513
Oh!
731
00:36:55,357 --> 00:36:57,590
Announcer:
Last results of the night.
Here we go.
732
00:37:02,864 --> 00:37:03,896
Welcome back to "alter ego."
733
00:37:04,032 --> 00:37:06,266
it's time for the judges to vote
734
00:37:06,334 --> 00:37:09,269
for who they'll send
to the diamond,
735
00:37:09,337 --> 00:37:13,106
which will guarantee them
the last spot in the semi-finals
that start next week.
736
00:37:13,174 --> 00:37:16,009
Judges, it's time
to cast your votes.
737
00:37:20,148 --> 00:37:24,217
It all boils down to this.
Who are you more of a fan of?
738
00:37:24,352 --> 00:37:26,019
Who would you
go see in concert?
739
00:37:26,154 --> 00:37:30,189
Is it st. Luna
or night journey?
740
00:37:30,258 --> 00:37:34,060
( cheering )
741
00:37:34,195 --> 00:37:36,262
y'all are passionate.
742
00:37:38,333 --> 00:37:42,835
Nick, which one
of these performers
is the full package?
743
00:37:42,904 --> 00:37:47,573
Night journey, you have
such a cool, unique voice.
744
00:37:47,709 --> 00:37:49,676
- It sucks you in.
- Thank you so much.
745
00:37:49,744 --> 00:37:52,378
Yeah, and you've done
a great job of stepping
into your alter ego
746
00:37:52,514 --> 00:37:55,548
and bringing night journey
to life.
747
00:37:57,352 --> 00:38:01,587
For me, the voice
that just moves me
748
00:38:01,656 --> 00:38:04,424
a smidge more is st. Luna.
749
00:38:04,492 --> 00:38:08,061
So I'd like to see st. Luna
on the diamond.
750
00:38:08,196 --> 00:38:09,162
Thank you very much.
751
00:38:10,298 --> 00:38:13,866
That is one vote for st. Luna.
Grimes?
752
00:38:13,935 --> 00:38:16,736
For me, st. Luna,
you have real pop star energy,
753
00:38:16,871 --> 00:38:19,872
which I think not everybody
in this competition has.
754
00:38:19,941 --> 00:38:22,375
But then, night journey,
something about her
just adds up to me.
755
00:38:22,510 --> 00:38:23,576
Like,
I just feel the character.
756
00:38:23,712 --> 00:38:27,413
I'm going to choose
night journey.
757
00:38:27,549 --> 00:38:29,782
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
758
00:38:29,851 --> 00:38:32,218
It's one and one right now.
Alanis?
759
00:38:32,354 --> 00:38:36,656
St. Luna, I love your voice.
You were born to do this.
760
00:38:36,791 --> 00:38:41,594
Night journey,
I'm really enrolled
in your whole approach
761
00:38:41,663 --> 00:38:45,231
and the whole cohesiveness
of your vocal and your movement.
762
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:48,901
And I'm also a bit of a sucker
for knowing
763
00:38:49,037 --> 00:38:51,270
that this
next digital superstar
764
00:38:51,339 --> 00:38:52,739
is going to be
in the public eye
765
00:38:52,874 --> 00:38:54,273
and influencing
a lot of people.
766
00:38:54,342 --> 00:38:56,909
So it's worthy for us
to chase wholeness more,
767
00:38:56,978 --> 00:38:58,978
which includes
embracing the dark.
768
00:38:59,114 --> 00:39:03,282
I'm gonna bring night journey
onto that diamond.
769
00:39:03,418 --> 00:39:04,984
Thank you so much.
770
00:39:08,890 --> 00:39:13,259
That is two votes
for night journey,
one vote for st. Luna.
771
00:39:13,395 --> 00:39:15,728
Will, it is all up to you.
772
00:39:15,864 --> 00:39:19,499
So, st. Luna said something
that didn't gel well,
773
00:39:19,567 --> 00:39:21,768
and that's,
"I'm getting to know
my alter ego."
774
00:39:21,903 --> 00:39:25,471
every time night journey speaks,
she's night journey.
775
00:39:26,708 --> 00:39:29,108
She didn't give any illusion
776
00:39:29,210 --> 00:39:31,744
that she was getting to know
the persona.
777
00:39:33,148 --> 00:39:35,381
Um, and although I drew
778
00:39:35,517 --> 00:39:39,118
my little st. Luna,
779
00:39:39,187 --> 00:39:40,386
I scribbled my night journey
780
00:39:40,455 --> 00:39:41,921
because that's who I want
to put on the diamond.
781
00:39:41,990 --> 00:39:45,658
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
782
00:39:47,829 --> 00:39:51,264
And there you have it.
Congratulations, night journey!
783
00:39:51,399 --> 00:39:55,268
- Thank you so much.
- You've won the spot
on the diamond.
784
00:39:55,336 --> 00:39:57,036
Go ahead and head on up there.
785
00:39:58,873 --> 00:40:02,575
Night journey,
you've also secured a place
in our semi-finals.
786
00:40:02,710 --> 00:40:06,512
Sadly, st. Luna,
that means we have to
787
00:40:06,648 --> 00:40:09,081
say goodbye to you tonight.
788
00:40:09,150 --> 00:40:12,285
But before you go,
we'd love to hear you sing
one last time
789
00:40:12,353 --> 00:40:16,055
and come out at here as yourself
to meet the judges in person.
790
00:40:16,191 --> 00:40:17,990
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
791
00:40:18,126 --> 00:40:20,226
Get loud one last time
for st. Luna!
792
00:40:22,497 --> 00:40:24,030
What do we think
st. Luna's gonna look like?
793
00:40:24,098 --> 00:40:27,433
I feel like she's a popular--
I feel like she's, like, cool.
794
00:40:27,569 --> 00:40:30,903
- Katy perry-esque?
- I have no clue.
795
00:40:34,042 --> 00:40:39,679

All: Luna, luna,
luna, luna, luna!
816
00:42:02,630 --> 00:42:04,864
Wow. Everyone,
please meet sarah,
817
00:42:04,933 --> 00:42:09,502
- aka st. Luna.
- Hi, everyone.
818
00:42:09,571 --> 00:42:12,505
Do you do this for a living?
Do you sing regularly?
819
00:42:12,607 --> 00:42:17,977
- I mean, do you make--
- I just graduated from ucla,
like, a couple months ago.
820
00:42:18,112 --> 00:42:22,481
Go, bruins! I got my degree
in human biology and society,
821
00:42:22,550 --> 00:42:23,916
so I do not have a music degree.
822
00:42:23,985 --> 00:42:27,086
My life has always sort of been
the scientific part of me
823
00:42:27,155 --> 00:42:28,754
and the music part of me,
824
00:42:28,823 --> 00:42:31,390
and I have kept trying to,
like, make the decision
825
00:42:31,526 --> 00:42:32,892
of which path
I wanted to take.
826
00:42:32,961 --> 00:42:34,727
And every time
I choose one path,
the world kind of...
827
00:42:34,796 --> 00:42:38,264
- The other one calls, yes.
- ...Pushes me into
the other one, so--
828
00:42:38,399 --> 00:42:41,901
well, I'm sure the world
of science needs you...
829
00:42:42,036 --> 00:42:44,270
- Yeah, I hope so.
- ...But it'd shame
if the world of music
830
00:42:44,339 --> 00:42:45,905
didn't get to enjoy
what you have to offer,
831
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,507
because you are
phenomenally talented.
832
00:42:48,643 --> 00:42:52,678
Everybody, sarah!
833
00:42:52,814 --> 00:42:54,714
Starting next week, those
alter egos will be competing
834
00:42:54,849 --> 00:42:58,250
in our semi-finals
for four spots in the finale,
835
00:42:58,319 --> 00:43:02,221
but there can only be one
next generation superstar.
836
00:43:02,357 --> 00:43:05,725
In a matter of weeks,
we'll find out who.
837
00:43:05,827 --> 00:43:07,593
I cannot believe it.
838
00:43:07,662 --> 00:43:11,797
It is getting as real as it
can get here on "alter ego."
839
00:43:11,866 --> 00:43:13,666
we'll see you next week
for the semi-finals.
840
00:43:13,735 --> 00:43:14,734
Good night.
841
00:43:18,906 --> 00:43:20,239
That's great.
842
00:43:20,308 --> 00:43:24,243
Rocsi: The head-to-heads
have come to an end.
843
00:43:24,312 --> 00:43:26,579
We have to say goodbye
to you tonight.
844
00:43:26,714 --> 00:43:27,713
This is a bring it
or go home round.
845
00:43:27,849 --> 00:43:30,549
- Godspeed.
- ( music playing )
846
00:43:30,685 --> 00:43:32,952
the top eight alter egos
put everything on the line
847
00:43:33,021 --> 00:43:37,189
- in the semi-finals.
- Hell, yeah!
848
00:43:37,258 --> 00:43:39,925
More identities
will be revealed.
849
00:43:39,994 --> 00:43:41,260
It really breaks my heart
to say this,
850
00:43:41,396 --> 00:43:44,096
- but it is the end
of your journey.
- What?
851
00:43:44,232 --> 00:43:46,365
Who will have what it takes
to make it to the finale?
852
00:43:47,869 --> 00:43:50,202
I would be in your audience,
basically.
