Rocsi: Tonight, the journey to find
the next generation's digital superstar continues
as the first four semi-finalists
and their customized alter egos hit the stage
to impress the judges and studio audience.
Whoa, she got roller skates on.
Let's rock and roll!
( howls )
two will move on to the finale,
and two will reveal their true selves.
I thought for sure you were gonna be, like, 6'2".
Who has what it takes to get one step closer to winning $100,000
and be mentored by our superstar panel?
You have something powerful.
The "alter ego" semi-finals...
- Whoa. - ...Begin now.
It just got real, y'all.
Welcome to "alter ego," the semi-finals.
I'm your host rocsi diaz.
Before we get into it, I've gotta introduce
my favorite judging panel in town. Hello?
Musician, producer,
and tech entrepreneur will.I.Am!
Singer, songwriter, and artist,
the legendary alanis morissette.
Producer, artist, and innovator, grimes.
And actor, singer, and host nick lachey.
'sup?
Hey, you guys.
It's tonight's semi-finalists,
misty rose, queen dynamite,
wolfgang champagne, and night journey.
These four alter egos have made it through
our auditions, the head-to-heads.
Yeah!
And by the end of tonight,
two alter egos will be eliminated
and reveal their identity to the judges,
and two will secure their spots in the finale.
Alanis, what does it take to be a winner
on this stage tonight?
I think it's a combination of things.
So, your voice, your movement,
would you be alter ego
where millions and millions of people are watching you
and you're a superstar fueling this new technology into the next era for us?
- So, godspeed. - Hell, yeah.
Good luck to you all.
These are huge stakes and a lot on the line
to be the next generation superstar.
Misty rose, you're up first.
We're in the semi-finals now. Like, this is real.
Like, the competition is--
it's ramping up, I'll say that.
When misty rose and samaera hit the stage,
you never know what you're gonna get.
Like, I love pushing the limits.
For the semi-finals, misty is bringing it.
She is on roller skates.
( music playing )
like, it definitely adds something different,
because no one else is on roller skates.
I love challenge, so I'm in it to win it now at this point.
Like, it's game time.
Whoa, she got roller skates on.
Hey, y'all.
So this is, like, the bring it or go home round,
you know what I mean?
This is, like, where it's all on the line.
So how have you elevated your game, so to speak,
as we get into this semi-final round now?
I quite literally elevated
by getting onto these roller skates,
and I truly believe that I am
going to embody misty rose in this performance.
I'm gonna give you guys a show.
All right, well, let's give it a go.
All right, let's rock and roll!
Will: Oh, she really is for real skating.
- Alanis: Yes. - Wow, okay.
I'm really blown away now. Let's do this, misty rose.
Let's hit it!

- Crowd: Misty, misty, misty! - Starting it off with a bang.
Wow.
That's what this show is all about, right?
We're trying to find the next generation superstar,
and that alter ego is supposed to embody
all of those things coming together.
Perfect use of technology, perfect use of creativity,
and a great voice.
It was, like, the trifecta of seeing all those things come together.
- So way to kick off the show. That was fantastic. - Thank you so much.
I'm selling tickets to "the misty rose show" right now.
Just wait till you get to the actual show.
It's gonna just like that performance.
I love it.
Misty rose, remind me why
you're here at "alter ego" again.
I wanna be the next digital pop superstar.
I mean, who else has an opportunity like this, you know?
Wow!
Judges, it's time for your vote.
Uh-oh. Whoa.
Remember, the alter ego who is on the diamond
at the end of the show will automatically advance to the finale.
She will need at least three of your votes to get that spot.
If misty rose doesn't get up on the diamond,
she'll be up for elimination by an audience and judge vote.
Nick?
Obviously we don't know what the other three alter egos are gonna do tonight,
but what I just heard from misty rose
was certainly finale-worthy.
Thank you!
And again, I love the way she incorporated
all the elements of what we're trying to do here,
which is discover, you know, the next generation superstar.
So until she's dethroned,
she absolutely deserves to be on that diamond.
- I love it. - Thank you so much.
Grimes, does she have your vote to be on that diamond?
Yeah, absolutely, definitely so,
and I would make out with misty rose, so...
Misty: Oh, my god. I would love to.
Thank you.
That is the coolest thing in the freaking world
because grimes is, like, one of the coolest people in the freaking world.
- I don't know about that. - But that--
that to me is-- that's dope-dope.
I don't know what the other singers are gonna do,
but there's no roof on this building right now
- 'cause you just blew it off. - Ooh! Thank you!
And so, boom, I'm with misty on the diamond.
- Thank you so much, will. - Rocsi: Alanis?
I just think your voice and your movement and that whole performance,
the whole package deal of that was super impressive.
I want misty on that diamond.
Thank you.
You really only needed three votes
to get on that diamond, but you got all four, mama.
You are going up there, taking that spot.
Coming up, our semi-finals continue.
Can the rest of the alter egos step up
and show that they've got what it takes
to be the next generation superstar?
Two will go to the finale, and two will go home.
- Man, this is gonna be tough. - I know.
"alter ego" continues after this.
I am shocked that I'm here.
- ( pants ) - there are singers,
and then there are entertainers.
I'm not really afraid of what people think of me anymore.
I get goose bumps every time you sing.
( vocalizing )
I will not hear the end of it if I lose.
Night journey: I definitely feel more pressure.
Wolfgang: There's no way not to be nervous.
It just got real, y'all.
Rocsi: The alter ego who received
the fewest audience votes is...
Announcer: Wolfgang's at the motion capture stage.
Going to rocsi in three, two, one.
Welcome back to "alter ego." I'm rocsi diaz.
We just saw misty rose earn a spot on the diamond
with her semi-final performance.
If she remains on the diamond,
she will get a coveted spot in the finale.
But will she able to stay there?
That's up to our next alter ego. It's wolfgang champagne.
Wolfgang: I am shocked that I'm here.
It's like waking up from a coma and just saying, "am I still here?"
but there's no way not to be nervous
because of the magnitude of the show.
Yeah, well, thank you very much.
I'm looking forward to performing.
I did opera for over 26 years.
I went to the juilliard opera center.
It was what I trained to do right out of high school.
Doing opera allowed me to have a long career.
I've lived a life to 60.
Technically, I'm supposed to retire in five years,
but I'm still driving a truck.
We sleep in a little bed
and go out for three, four months at a time
living in your truck.
The purpose of me personally being here on "alter ego"?
My daughters, emma and grace, they're beautiful people,
but I never see my family driving a truck.
So, it'll allow me family time and inspire my kids
that nothing is out of reach no matter how old you get.
- Whoo! - Yeah!
How you been, man?
It's great seeing you here, man,
'cause I'm still here.
If I wasn't here, I really wouldn't like any of you at all.
That's all I'm gonna say.
I feel conditionally loved by you, wolfgang.
Hey, no. Miss morissette, you have not saved me,
made me safe, or done anything.
So you don't get to call me wolfy.
You gotta call me spatula,
because before the end of the night,
I'm gonna flip you to team wolfpack right here.
Yeah!
In the event that you win this thing,
what kind of fan experience would you promise your fans?
Like, what kind of a show would you put on?
Live, love, and laugh, baby.
The tour would be
"wolfy's doggone state of the arts tour."
yeah!
You'll have a howling good time!
All right, well, wolfy,
let's see if you can keep moving forward, man.
- You ready to go? - Let's go!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, he could really take it to the next lev.
This whole thing, this howling at the moon stuff?
Smart.
Yeah!
♪ when you were here before
♪ couldn't look you in the eye
♪ you're just like an angel
♪ your skin makes me cry

wolfy! Wolfy!
Will.I.Am: Whoo!
Crowd: Wolfy! Wolfy! Wolfy! Wolfy!
That's right!
Wolfy, before we start talking about that amazing performance,
I do I wanna show some love to our bomb house band.
A massive applause
for adam blackstone and the alter ego band.
That was a really emotionally evocative performance,
and I think we all felt it.
Like, in a million years, I would never be in front of you guys.
I love everybody, and I love every--
everything that you guys have done for me.
Aw, man.
You know, there are singers, and then there are entertainers.
And you are an absolute entertainer,
and don't ever stop.
Crowd: Wolfy! Wolfy! Wolfy! Wolfy! Wolfy!
It's time to figure out whether or not wolfgang champagne
will take a spot on the diamond away from misty rose.
Remember, he needs at least three of your votes to put him there,
so choose carefully. What do you think, grimes?
Grimes: I love wolfgang champagne.
I mean, I think you really showed yourself as, like,
a three-dimensional artist.
But, misty rose, you've been really winning me over,
and I don't think I can take misty off the diamond.
However, that was such a good performance,
and I will be fighting for you, wolfy.
Misty rose, that was the best use of props
aligning with the alter ego.
But, wolfy, I wasn't expecting radiohead, "creep."
to hear that with a pop opera twist to it was pretty magical.
But then today was the first time that we saw
- a sensitive side to wolf. - Mm-hmm.
Will: I thought that that dynamic, to go from all those gears
has been pretty freaking fantastic.
And so with that, I would like to see wolfy on the diamond.
Rocsi: That is one vote for wolfgang
and one vote for misty rose.
Alanis, does wolfgang deserve to be on the diamond?
I think, wolfy, you're a huge, huge superstar.
But I loved misty rose's performance,
and I felt to be a really holistic experience
on multiple levels.
So as much as it tortures me to say this,
I'm going to keep misty on that diamond.
Rocsi: Wolfy needed three votes to be on the diamond.
Later tonight, you'll be at the mercy of an audience and judge vote.
Oh, wolfy!
Rocsi: Because two alter egos are going home
at the end of the night. We're gonna find out.
More show after this.
I just want everybody to come, laugh, have a good time,
and not learn a thing.
♪ the things you say
♪ we're unpredictable
( humming "unbelievable" )
- that sounds about right. - It's "unbelievable."
sadly, that's what I do with my own lyrics.
You know what? If it's your song, you can do whatever you want.
I cannot remember a lyric to save my life.
♪ you're unbelievable
welcome back. You're watching "alter ego."
I am rocsi diaz.
We have four alter egos competing for two spots
in the finale tonight.
Misty rose is currently on the diamond.
We'll see if she stays up there.
But there's an alter ego who's been dying
to get on this stage and give it all that she's got.
So let's give her that chance.
Give it up for queen dynamite.
Queen dynamite: To be in the semi-finals,
it feels like, "is this real?"
if I go to the finals,
like, my head is blown.
Like, it is blown.
Like, "oh, my gosh, this is it."
( music playing )
well, I would want queen dynamite's brand to be
somewhat of women empowerment.
She lets everyone know that, guess what.
You can accomplish everything you set out to do.
Because coming from being a teenage mother,
it's been about ten plus years
I have been waiting for this opportunity.
My daughter is izaria. She is 12 years old.
And my son is dash. He is about to turn seven.
My kids are definitely my inspiration to keep fighting.
And I know that I will not hear the end of it
from my daughter if I lose.
I'm like, "no."
if I won "alter ego," like, my kids will know
that they can do whatever they want to do.
Whatever dreams they have, it's nothing that can stop them.
So, I really hope I win.
I really hope so.
- Whoo! - Nick: So, queen dynamite,
I'm curious, how are you gonna up your game
from the head-to-head rounds to now the semi-final rounds?
Well, in the head-to-heads,
I really didn't know who queen dynamite was.
So I feel like I was able to mesh that now,
so I think I'm just gonna be able
to put on a great show.
I want you all to know who I am as queen dynamite.
I wanna give my best. So, I think I'm gonna rock it.
All right, let's see you rock it then, queen dynamite.
All right.

The world knows queen dynamite. You are letting it show, girl.
That was absolutely amazing.
Judges, what did you think of queen dynamite's performance?
Alanis?
I noticed a big evolution
from auditions to head-to-heads to here.
It really shined through in your performance
that you've been upping the ante on your own.
Thank you so much.
The diamond vote is extremely important tonight.
So, judges, should queen dynamite
be on the diamond and in the finale?
It's time to cast your votes.
- Crowd: Dynamite! Dynamite! - Whoo!
I have to be real with my decision.
Queen dynamite, your voice is powerful.
But, misty rose, you're so dynamic.
And I'm gonna be putting misty rose on the diamond.
Rocsi: Queen dynamite, you need three votes
to get on the diamond, and that is one for misty.
One more vote for misty rose will keep her on the diamond
and put you at risk of going home tonight.
Alanis?
I was already excited before you started to sing
just based on the whole look of the experience.
'cause it was an experience. It wasn't just a performance.
Thank you.
But there's an intangible thing that misty rose has
that has me want to keep you on the diamond.
Thank you!
Rocsi: That is two votes for misty rose
to stay on the diamond.
We know you need at least three votes
to be put on the diamond.
But sadly, that means that you are at risk
of going home tonight, queen dynamite.
With only two spots on the line for the finale,
this semi-final round is getting intense.
Our last performance is after the break,
so do not go anywhere.
This is "alter ego" on fox.
Misty gave a great performance tonight.
Like, misty just wasn't on the docket for me before until tonight.
- She won you over, huh? - Yeah, she won me over.
Night journey can mess it up. It's hers to take or hers to mess up.
Hanging in the balance. I agree.
Announcer: Night journey is ready for her performance.
Motion capture is set.
Welcome back to "alter ego."
what?
Rocsi: Misty rose is on the diamond,
and there is only one thing standing between her
and a spot in the finale. It's night journey.
Night journey: I definitely feel more pressure
going into this round than I have this whole competition.
It's a little more tense when we're all around each other.
Night journey is all about the light and the dark,
and that's where I get, like, a lot of my inspiration.
Growing up, I always had depression,
and that's something I struggled with.
And then as I got older, it developed into bipolar.
Music saved my life, 'cause I started writing music
when I felt like I didn't have any hope,
and it gave me a way to express how I feel.
♪ and I know
♪ time will not retreat
♪ but I'm standing on my feet
that's why night journey is so obsessed with telling a story.
Night journey really gave me an opportunity
to see that there is light in my dark,
and I'm okay because of that.
Thank you.
The judges are looking for more than just a singer.
They're looking for an artist.
I'm not really afraid of what people think of me anymore,
and I might be able to be
the next digital superstar because of it.
Grimes: Night journey, if you were to put out a record,
how would you describe your music,
and what genre would your music be?
- Indie. - Cool.
I would want my music to be something
that people turn on when they're alone,
and I would want it to be for all the people who feel lost.
Okay.
Night journey, are you ready to sing for us?
I'm ready!
- Ooh! - That's cool.
- Wow. - It's a new trick.

Rocsi: Wow! Night journey!
Crowd: Night journey! Night journey!
Judges, what did you think of night journey?
Singing with that kind of soul,
that's not something that's really taught,
and night journey, really,
she identifies and sings from a place
that makes it palpable.
If you become the next digital superstar,
for that digital superstar to have soul,
I mean, that's the integration of everything,
and I'm here for you and it.
Thank you so much.
All right, this is a huge decision for the judges right now.
The alter ego they put on the diamond
will automatically advance to the finale.
No one has been able to knock misty rose
off the diamond tonight,
but will night journey be able to?
She will need at least three votes.
Judges, this is all on you right now.
It's time for your vote.
Misty rose, I think overall tonight
you are probably most improved in the whole show.
And then, night journey, it's, like, you've got something
that's just really emotional
and I get goose bumps every time you sing.
And so I am putting night journey on the diamond.
Thank you so much.
That is one vote for night journey to move on.
Nick?
Nick: This is a huge deal
to get a guaranteed spot in the finale.
That being said, there was something about all the elements
of what in my mind this show is
that came together for misty rose in a way
that was really, really powerful tonight.
And so my vote would be to keep misty rose on the diamond.
Rocsi: So far that is one vote each.
Alanis?
Misty rose, I felt your performance was so whole, you know?
Then, night journey,
just my overall impression of you
is that I would be super fangirl-ing out
just following your career.
So I'm gonna ask night journey to jump up there.
That is two votes for night journey.
But night journey, you need three votes
to take that diamond spot.
Will, it is all up to you.
I think they both have the ability to go to the final.
- I like misty rose's pizzazz. - Yeah.
But then I like night journey's depth.
But the best performance of the night...
- Night journey, night journey. - ...Is misty.
Yeah.
Rocsi: I'm sorry, night journey. You didn't get the three votes
required to take a spot on the diamond,
so misty rose is going to the finale.
Which means, night journey,
unfortunately, you are now in danger of going home tonight.
Three alter egos remain in the running
- for one spot in the finale. - Oh, damn.
Let's welcome wolfgang champagne
and queen dynamite back to the stage.
Nick: Yeah!
Rocsi: I will now ask the audience to vote
for their favorite alter ego.
The alter ego that receives the least votes
will be eliminated.
It just got real, y'all.
They're so dramatically different,
- it's almost a matter of which one do you prefer? - Yeah.
Only one alter ego can move on to the finale.
The audience votes have officially been counted.
And I can now confirm that the alter ego
who received the fewest audience votes,
becoming the first alter ego to leave us tonight is...
Rocsi: We have three alter egos up for elimination:
Wolfgang champagne, night journey,
or queen dynamite.
I can now confirm that the alter ego
who received the fewest audience votes,
becoming the first alter ego to leave us tonight...
Is...
Queen dynamite.
That means, wolfgang champagne and night journey,
you are safe for now.
The judges will decide your fate later tonight.
Queen dynamite, before you go,
would you please sing one last song
and then reveal your true identity to the judges?
Of course, I will.
Yeah!
- I really wanna meet queen dynamite. - Grimes: Yeah.
Will: She, like, about to blow it up.

Wow.
Meet dasharra, aka queen dynamite.
I thought for sure you were gonna be, like, 6'2".
I mean, you have this, like, huge presence
even though you're so small.
I'm happy that I made it here, okay?
- Listen. - You made it really far.
Dasharra: I made it.
I kind of put everything behind me,
like, when I had my children,
I kind of forgot about being a singer.
And honestly, I feel like "alter ego" and queen dynamite--
which I love her so much--
she just helped me get back out there
and face whatever fears I did have.
You know, any lack of confidence I did have,
I don't have that anymore.
So I'm just very thankful for queen dynamite, yes?
Don't stop, because you have so much light,
and you light up the room.
And your voice has a similar power
- to mary j's voice. - Thank you.
We need that joy, that uplifting in life,
- and you have something powerful. - Thank you so much.
Is there anything that you would like to say to queen dynamite?
Queen dynamite, I love you so much.
- Like... - ( crowd whooping )
she has brought me a lot of peace, a lot of joy.
'cause, you know, sometimes you just don't believe you can do it.
But, I mean, queen dynamite, she can do it.
- Rocsi: Dasharra, thank you so much. - Thank you.
And as we say goodbye to queen dynamite,
wolfgang champagne and night journey await their fate.
One more identity will be revealed later tonight.
Do not go anywhere. We'll be right back with more "alter ego" after this.
Welcome back.
It's been an action-packed night tonight on "alter ego,"
and now only two alter egos remain.
Wolfgang champagne,
he has been a fan favorite and frontrunner.
And night journey, she has connected with the audience and touched our souls.
The judges can only save one of them,
and that alter ego will move on to the finale.
( crowd howling )
wolfy!
- ( crowd shouting ) - judges?
Wolfy, I just want you to know that you have really moved me,
and I was incredibly impressed by your artistry.
And then, night journey, I can feel your pathos when you sing.
So, I'm going to...
Save night journey.
That's one vote for night journey.
Nick?
Wolfy, I mean, look, as we've said all along,
you are-- you're an entertainer.
And, night journey, your emotional connection
to what you're singing is really, really contagious.
And it's a really difficult decision, but...
( howls )
there's just something I cannot get enough of with this guy,
and I wanna see him in the final, so...
Rocsi: That's one vote for wolfy,
one vote for night journey.
Will?
So there's a part of me that's, like, dang,
I need wolfy in my life.
But the artist that's complete is night journey.
So, night journey.
That is two votes for night journey,
one vote for wolfy.
There's only one vote left.
If this ends up in a tie,
it goes back to the studio audience.
( crowd murmuring )
alanis?
Alanis: People love you, wolfgang.
You aren't easily categorized.
And part of what I love about your not being so easily categorized
is that I actually in some ways also relate to it.
Because when I was first making music, people would say to me,
"well, what are you?
Are you alternative? Are you rock? Are you pop?
What are you?", you know? And I would just say, "yes."
and I feel that from you.
Night journey, we were talking earlier about
who we would imagine at award shows
or shows in general, who we could see there.
I do think it could very well be night journey,
so I'm choosing night journey.
Rocsi: And there you have it.
Congratulations. You are advancing to the finale.
We will see you there.
It really breaks my heart to say this,
but it is the end of your journey here
and your time at "alter ego."
but would you sing one last time
and come out here and meet everyone in person?
No! I lost!
I'm going home, putting my tail between my legs!
It would be greatest honor to come out and meet you all and sing for you.
Whoo! ( howls )
rocsi: Everyone, give it up for wolfgang champagne!
Crowd: Wolfy! Wolfy! Wolfy! Wolfy!
I gotta say, I am incredibly curious to meet wolfy.
Alanis: Yes.
Wolfy!

( vocalizing )
putting it down!
( all howling )
all: Wolfy! Wolfy! Wolfy! Wolfy!
I didn't think I was gonna be crying already.
Oh, my gosh.
- I'm so sad to see you go. - Not as sad as I am!
Oh, my goodness. Judges, this is the human
behind wolfgang champagne,
aka matthew.
I don't even know how to say this
because I'm gonna tear up.
I am 60 years old.
And someone said to me the other day,
"you're middle-aged."
and I said, "only if I live to 120."
first off, you guys made me feel relevant.
You made me feel that as that long as I'm breathing,
something really cool can happen.
I was sleeping in the back of a truck eight weeks ago.
And now you're here in hollywood.
And now I'm here making rocsi cry.
( howling )
we've seen so many sides of wolfy,
so it's been awesome to have you on the show,
and I wish you could go all the way.
You talk about what the show has given you.
I just hope you can truly appreciate and you recognize
and realize what you've given to this show.
Wow. Two bittersweet goodbyes, but a very exciting night
for misty rose and night journey,
who have advanced to the finale.
It won't be long before we have our first next generation superstar
standing right here on this stage.
Come back next week for the second night of semi-finals. Good night.
