1
00:00:01,311 --> 00:00:04,646
Rocsi: Tonight,
the journey to find
2
00:00:04,681 --> 00:00:08,617
the next generation's
digital superstar continues
3
00:00:08,685 --> 00:00:10,352
as the first four
semi-finalists
4
00:00:10,354 --> 00:00:13,789
and their customized
alter egos hit the stage
5
00:00:13,791 --> 00:00:16,625
to impress the judges
and studio audience.
6
00:00:16,660 --> 00:00:18,160
Whoa, she got roller skates on.
7
00:00:18,195 --> 00:00:19,861
Let's rock and roll!
8
00:00:19,930 --> 00:00:21,897
( howls )
9
00:00:21,965 --> 00:00:23,632
two will move on
to the finale,
10
00:00:23,667 --> 00:00:26,201
and two will reveal
their true selves.
11
00:00:26,236 --> 00:00:29,805
I thought for sure you
were gonna be, like, 6'2".
12
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,109
Who has what it takes
to get one step closer
to winning $100,000
13
00:00:34,144 --> 00:00:38,280
and be mentored
by our superstar panel?
14
00:00:38,282 --> 00:00:39,281
You have something powerful.
15
00:00:39,283 --> 00:00:40,449
The "alter ego" semi-finals...
16
00:00:40,484 --> 00:00:42,851
- Whoa.
- ...Begin now.
17
00:00:42,886 --> 00:00:43,952
It just got real, y'all.
18
00:00:48,625 --> 00:00:52,327
Welcome to "alter ego,"
the semi-finals.
19
00:00:52,362 --> 00:00:54,463
I'm your host rocsi diaz.
20
00:00:54,531 --> 00:00:56,631
Before we get into it,
I've gotta introduce
21
00:00:56,667 --> 00:01:00,469
my favorite judging panel
in town. Hello?
22
00:01:00,504 --> 00:01:01,970
Musician, producer,
23
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:03,772
and tech entrepreneur will.I.Am!
24
00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:09,111
Singer, songwriter, and artist,
25
00:01:09,146 --> 00:01:10,979
the legendary alanis morissette.
26
00:01:15,152 --> 00:01:18,286
Producer, artist,
and innovator, grimes.
27
00:01:21,725 --> 00:01:24,626
And actor, singer,
and host nick lachey.
28
00:01:24,661 --> 00:01:26,828
'sup?
29
00:01:26,830 --> 00:01:28,630
Hey, you guys.
30
00:01:28,665 --> 00:01:30,665
It's tonight's semi-finalists,
31
00:01:30,701 --> 00:01:32,434
misty rose, queen dynamite,
32
00:01:32,436 --> 00:01:35,837
wolfgang champagne,
and night journey.
33
00:01:35,873 --> 00:01:38,140
These four alter egos
have made it through
34
00:01:38,208 --> 00:01:39,841
our auditions,
the head-to-heads.
35
00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:41,476
Yeah!
36
00:01:41,478 --> 00:01:43,311
And by the end of tonight,
37
00:01:43,347 --> 00:01:45,480
two alter egos
will be eliminated
38
00:01:45,482 --> 00:01:47,482
and reveal their identity
to the judges,
39
00:01:47,518 --> 00:01:50,352
and two will secure
their spots in the finale.
40
00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:55,790
Alanis, what does it take
to be a winner
41
00:01:55,826 --> 00:01:57,025
on this stage tonight?
42
00:01:57,094 --> 00:01:58,960
I think it's a combination
of things.
43
00:01:58,996 --> 00:02:01,229
So, your voice, your movement,
44
00:02:01,265 --> 00:02:02,797
would you be alter ego
45
00:02:02,833 --> 00:02:04,866
where millions and millions
of people are watching you
46
00:02:04,868 --> 00:02:08,937
and you're a superstar
fueling this new technology
into the next era for us?
47
00:02:08,972 --> 00:02:12,107
- So, godspeed.
- Hell, yeah.
48
00:02:13,443 --> 00:02:14,676
Good luck to you all.
49
00:02:14,711 --> 00:02:17,379
These are huge stakes
and a lot on the line
50
00:02:17,447 --> 00:02:19,247
to be
the next generation superstar.
51
00:02:20,317 --> 00:02:22,684
Misty rose, you're up first.
52
00:02:27,925 --> 00:02:30,992
We're in the semi-finals now.
Like, this is real.
53
00:02:31,028 --> 00:02:32,561
Like, the competition is--
54
00:02:32,596 --> 00:02:34,429
it's ramping up, I'll say that.
55
00:02:36,166 --> 00:02:37,799
When misty rose
and samaera hit the stage,
56
00:02:37,834 --> 00:02:39,234
you never know
what you're gonna get.
57
00:02:39,269 --> 00:02:41,269
Like, I love pushing the limits.
58
00:02:41,305 --> 00:02:44,639
For the semi-finals,
misty is bringing it.
59
00:02:44,675 --> 00:02:47,609
She is on roller skates.
60
00:02:47,644 --> 00:02:49,744
( music playing )
61
00:02:49,813 --> 00:02:50,946
like, it definitely adds
something different,
62
00:02:51,014 --> 00:02:52,747
because no one else
is on roller skates.
63
00:02:52,816 --> 00:02:57,118
I love challenge,
so I'm in it to win it now
at this point.
64
00:02:57,154 --> 00:02:58,353
Like, it's game time.
65
00:03:00,323 --> 00:03:01,890
Whoa, she got roller skates on.
66
00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:03,191
Hey, y'all.
67
00:03:03,227 --> 00:03:05,627
So this is, like,
the bring it or go home round,
68
00:03:05,629 --> 00:03:06,828
you know what I mean?
69
00:03:06,863 --> 00:03:08,830
This is, like,
where it's all on the line.
70
00:03:08,865 --> 00:03:12,100
So how have you elevated
your game, so to speak,
71
00:03:12,135 --> 00:03:13,935
as we get into
this semi-final round now?
72
00:03:13,971 --> 00:03:15,971
I quite literally elevated
73
00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:18,573
by getting onto
these roller skates,
74
00:03:18,642 --> 00:03:21,276
and I truly believe that I am
75
00:03:21,311 --> 00:03:23,912
going to embody misty rose
in this performance.
76
00:03:23,947 --> 00:03:26,748
I'm gonna give you guys a show.
77
00:03:26,783 --> 00:03:28,983
All right, well,
let's give it a go.
78
00:03:28,985 --> 00:03:30,952
All right, let's rock and roll!
79
00:03:33,323 --> 00:03:35,257
Will: Oh, she really is
for real skating.
80
00:03:35,325 --> 00:03:37,859
- Alanis: Yes.
- Wow, okay.
81
00:03:37,928 --> 00:03:39,961
I'm really blown away now.
Let's do this, misty rose.
82
00:03:39,997 --> 00:03:42,297

- Starting it off with a bang.
115
00:05:38,648 --> 00:05:39,914
Wow.
116
00:05:41,151 --> 00:05:43,118
That's what this show
is all about, right?
117
00:05:43,153 --> 00:05:45,153
We're trying to find
the next generation superstar,
118
00:05:45,188 --> 00:05:47,789
and that alter ego
is supposed to embody
119
00:05:47,824 --> 00:05:49,791
all of those things
coming together.
120
00:05:49,793 --> 00:05:52,660
Perfect use of technology,
perfect use of creativity,
121
00:05:52,729 --> 00:05:54,429
and a great voice.
122
00:05:54,464 --> 00:05:57,098
It was, like, the trifecta
of seeing all those things
come together.
123
00:05:57,167 --> 00:05:59,968
- So way to kick off the show.
That was fantastic.
- Thank you so much.
124
00:06:00,003 --> 00:06:02,771
I'm selling tickets to
"the misty rose show" right now.
125
00:06:02,806 --> 00:06:04,773
Just wait till you
get to the actual show.
126
00:06:04,808 --> 00:06:06,941
It's gonna just like
that performance.
127
00:06:07,010 --> 00:06:08,710
I love it.
128
00:06:08,745 --> 00:06:10,412
Misty rose, remind me why
129
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,480
you're here
at "alter ego" again.
130
00:06:12,516 --> 00:06:14,949
I wanna be the next
digital pop superstar.
131
00:06:14,985 --> 00:06:17,252
I mean,
who else has an opportunity
like this, you know?
132
00:06:18,855 --> 00:06:21,389
Wow!
133
00:06:23,026 --> 00:06:25,126
Judges, it's time for your vote.
134
00:06:25,162 --> 00:06:27,529
Uh-oh. Whoa.
135
00:06:27,597 --> 00:06:29,798
Remember, the alter ego
who is on the diamond
136
00:06:29,833 --> 00:06:34,068
at the end of the show
will automatically advance
to the finale.
137
00:06:34,104 --> 00:06:37,906
She will need at least
three of your votes
to get that spot.
138
00:06:37,941 --> 00:06:40,909
If misty rose doesn't get up
on the diamond,
139
00:06:40,911 --> 00:06:45,713
she'll be up for elimination
by an audience and judge vote.
140
00:06:45,749 --> 00:06:47,715
Nick?
141
00:06:47,751 --> 00:06:51,820
Obviously we don't know
what the other three alter egos
are gonna do tonight,
142
00:06:51,888 --> 00:06:53,822
but what I just heard
from misty rose
143
00:06:53,857 --> 00:06:56,591
was certainly finale-worthy.
144
00:06:56,626 --> 00:06:58,126
Thank you!
145
00:06:58,161 --> 00:07:00,595
And again, I love the way
she incorporated
146
00:07:00,630 --> 00:07:02,630
all the elements of what
we're trying to do here,
147
00:07:02,666 --> 00:07:05,900
which is discover, you know,
the next generation superstar.
148
00:07:05,902 --> 00:07:08,136
So until she's dethroned,
149
00:07:08,171 --> 00:07:09,537
she absolutely deserves
to be on that diamond.
150
00:07:09,539 --> 00:07:11,940
- I love it.
- Thank you so much.
151
00:07:13,143 --> 00:07:17,011
Grimes, does she have your vote
to be on that diamond?
152
00:07:18,815 --> 00:07:20,782
Yeah, absolutely, definitely so,
153
00:07:20,817 --> 00:07:23,351
and I would make out
with misty rose, so...
154
00:07:23,386 --> 00:07:26,120
Misty: Oh, my god.
I would love to.
155
00:07:26,156 --> 00:07:27,255
Thank you.
156
00:07:28,825 --> 00:07:31,426
That is the coolest thing
in the freaking world
157
00:07:31,461 --> 00:07:34,929
because grimes is, like,
one of the coolest people
in the freaking world.
158
00:07:34,998 --> 00:07:38,433
- I don't know about that.
- But that--
159
00:07:38,468 --> 00:07:43,638
that to me is--
that's dope-dope.
160
00:07:43,673 --> 00:07:46,307
I don't know what
the other singers are gonna do,
161
00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:48,643
but there's no roof
on this building right now
162
00:07:48,678 --> 00:07:52,514
- 'cause you just blew it off.
- Ooh! Thank you!
163
00:07:52,516 --> 00:07:56,684
And so, boom,
I'm with misty on the diamond.
164
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,788
- Thank you so much, will.
- Rocsi: Alanis?
165
00:08:00,790 --> 00:08:03,925
I just think your voice
and your movement
and that whole performance,
166
00:08:03,994 --> 00:08:07,428
the whole package deal of that
was super impressive.
167
00:08:07,497 --> 00:08:10,098
I want misty on that diamond.
168
00:08:11,501 --> 00:08:12,867
Thank you.
169
00:08:12,903 --> 00:08:15,570
You really
only needed three votes
170
00:08:15,672 --> 00:08:17,739
to get on that diamond,
but you got all four, mama.
171
00:08:17,741 --> 00:08:20,542
You are going up there,
taking that spot.
172
00:08:22,546 --> 00:08:24,412
Coming up,
our semi-finals continue.
173
00:08:24,481 --> 00:08:26,681
Can the rest of
the alter egos step up
174
00:08:26,716 --> 00:08:28,583
and show that they've got
what it takes
175
00:08:28,618 --> 00:08:30,351
to be
the next generation superstar?
176
00:08:30,387 --> 00:08:33,821
Two will go to the finale,
and two will go home.
177
00:08:33,857 --> 00:08:36,891
- Man, this is gonna be tough.
- I know.
178
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,160
"alter ego" continues
after this.
179
00:08:43,066 --> 00:08:44,699
I am shocked that I'm here.
180
00:08:44,734 --> 00:08:46,634
- ( pants )
- there are singers,
181
00:08:46,670 --> 00:08:48,136
and then there are entertainers.
182
00:08:48,171 --> 00:08:50,672
I'm not really afraid of what
people think of me anymore.
183
00:08:50,707 --> 00:08:52,373
I get goose bumps
every time you sing.
184
00:08:52,442 --> 00:08:54,175
( vocalizing )
185
00:08:54,244 --> 00:08:57,779
I will not hear
the end of it if I lose.
186
00:08:57,847 --> 00:08:59,881
Night journey: I definitely
feel more pressure.
187
00:08:59,916 --> 00:09:02,250
Wolfgang: There's no way
not to be nervous.
188
00:09:02,285 --> 00:09:03,484
It just got real, y'all.
189
00:09:03,553 --> 00:09:05,353
Rocsi:
The alter ego who received
190
00:09:05,388 --> 00:09:08,523
the fewest audience votes is...
191
00:09:12,295 --> 00:09:14,762
Announcer: Wolfgang's at
the motion capture stage.
192
00:09:14,831 --> 00:09:17,432
Going to rocsi
in three, two, one.
193
00:09:20,503 --> 00:09:23,471
Welcome back to "alter ego."
I'm rocsi diaz.
194
00:09:23,506 --> 00:09:27,275
We just saw misty rose
earn a spot on the diamond
195
00:09:27,310 --> 00:09:29,110
with her semi-final performance.
196
00:09:29,145 --> 00:09:30,945
If she remains on the diamond,
197
00:09:30,981 --> 00:09:33,214
she will get a coveted spot
in the finale.
198
00:09:33,283 --> 00:09:35,950
But will she able to stay there?
199
00:09:35,986 --> 00:09:39,854
That's up to our next alter ego.
It's wolfgang champagne.
200
00:09:42,892 --> 00:09:44,826
Wolfgang: I am shocked
that I'm here.
201
00:09:44,861 --> 00:09:47,795
It's like waking up
from a coma and just saying,
"am I still here?"
202
00:09:47,831 --> 00:09:49,664
but there's no way
not to be nervous
203
00:09:49,699 --> 00:09:51,599
because of the magnitude
of the show.
204
00:09:51,635 --> 00:09:52,934
Yeah, well, thank you very much.
205
00:09:53,003 --> 00:09:54,902
I'm looking forward
to performing.
206
00:09:54,938 --> 00:09:57,171
I did opera for over 26 years.
207
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,107
I went to
the juilliard opera center.
208
00:09:59,142 --> 00:10:02,343
It was what I trained to do
right out of high school.
209
00:10:02,379 --> 00:10:06,180
Doing opera allowed me
to have a long career.
210
00:10:06,249 --> 00:10:09,183
I've lived a life to 60.
211
00:10:09,219 --> 00:10:11,786
Technically, I'm supposed
to retire in five years,
212
00:10:11,821 --> 00:10:15,189
but I'm still driving a truck.
213
00:10:15,191 --> 00:10:16,624
We sleep in a little bed
214
00:10:16,659 --> 00:10:19,227
and go out for three,
four months at a time
215
00:10:19,262 --> 00:10:21,195
living in your truck.
216
00:10:21,231 --> 00:10:24,799
The purpose of me personally
being here on "alter ego"?
217
00:10:24,834 --> 00:10:28,036
My daughters, emma and grace,
they're beautiful people,
218
00:10:28,071 --> 00:10:30,138
but I never see my family
driving a truck.
219
00:10:30,206 --> 00:10:33,074
So, it'll allow me family time
and inspire my kids
220
00:10:33,109 --> 00:10:37,145
that nothing is out of reach
no matter how old you get.
221
00:10:39,049 --> 00:10:42,884
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
222
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:44,118
How you been, man?
223
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,687
It's great seeing you here, man,
224
00:10:45,722 --> 00:10:47,288
'cause I'm still here.
225
00:10:47,323 --> 00:10:50,024
If I wasn't here,
I really wouldn't like
any of you at all.
226
00:10:50,093 --> 00:10:51,759
That's all I'm gonna say.
227
00:10:51,795 --> 00:10:53,961
I feel conditionally loved
by you, wolfgang.
228
00:10:53,997 --> 00:10:57,799
Hey, no. Miss morissette,
you have not saved me,
229
00:10:57,801 --> 00:11:00,001
made me safe, or done anything.
230
00:11:00,036 --> 00:11:02,103
So you don't get
to call me wolfy.
231
00:11:02,138 --> 00:11:03,471
You gotta call me spatula,
232
00:11:03,506 --> 00:11:05,440
because before
the end of the night,
233
00:11:05,475 --> 00:11:08,109
I'm gonna flip you
to team wolfpack right here.
234
00:11:08,111 --> 00:11:09,310
Yeah!
235
00:11:13,983 --> 00:11:16,684
In the event
that you win this thing,
236
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,120
what kind of fan experience
would you promise your fans?
237
00:11:19,155 --> 00:11:20,755
Like, what kind of a show
would you put on?
238
00:11:20,790 --> 00:11:22,957
Live, love, and laugh, baby.
239
00:11:22,992 --> 00:11:23,991
The tour would be
240
00:11:24,027 --> 00:11:27,628
"wolfy's doggone
state of the arts tour."
241
00:11:27,630 --> 00:11:28,963
yeah!
242
00:11:28,998 --> 00:11:32,100
You'll have a howling good time!
243
00:11:32,168 --> 00:11:34,635
All right, well, wolfy,
244
00:11:34,671 --> 00:11:36,404
let's see if you can
keep moving forward, man.
245
00:11:36,439 --> 00:11:38,406
- You ready to go?
- Let's go!
246
00:11:41,211 --> 00:11:44,078
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
he could really take it
to the next lev.
247
00:11:44,114 --> 00:11:47,515
This whole thing,
this howling at the moon stuff?
248
00:11:47,517 --> 00:11:48,683
Smart.
249
00:11:51,921 --> 00:11:53,321

Will.I.Am: Whoo!
270
00:13:37,994 --> 00:13:40,127
Crowd: Wolfy! Wolfy!
Wolfy! Wolfy!
271
00:13:40,163 --> 00:13:43,431
That's right!
272
00:13:43,466 --> 00:13:46,300
Wolfy, before we start talking
about that amazing performance,
273
00:13:46,369 --> 00:13:51,272
I do I wanna show some love
to our bomb house band.
274
00:13:51,307 --> 00:13:53,274
A massive applause
275
00:13:53,276 --> 00:13:56,310
for adam blackstone
and the alter ego band.
276
00:13:58,081 --> 00:14:00,748
That was a really emotionally
evocative performance,
277
00:14:00,783 --> 00:14:02,717
and I think we all felt it.
278
00:14:02,752 --> 00:14:05,920
Like, in a million years,
I would never be
in front of you guys.
279
00:14:05,989 --> 00:14:07,955
I love everybody,
and I love every--
280
00:14:07,991 --> 00:14:10,958
everything that you guys
have done for me.
281
00:14:10,994 --> 00:14:13,060
Aw, man.
282
00:14:15,899 --> 00:14:19,467
You know, there are singers,
and then there are entertainers.
283
00:14:19,469 --> 00:14:21,669
And you are
an absolute entertainer,
284
00:14:21,704 --> 00:14:24,505
and don't ever stop.
285
00:14:24,507 --> 00:14:29,277
Crowd: Wolfy! Wolfy! Wolfy!
Wolfy! Wolfy!
286
00:14:29,312 --> 00:14:32,280
It's time to figure out whether
or not wolfgang champagne
287
00:14:32,315 --> 00:14:36,350
will take a spot on the diamond
away from misty rose.
288
00:14:36,352 --> 00:14:40,755
Remember, he needs
at least three of your votes
to put him there,
289
00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:43,190
so choose carefully.
What do you think, grimes?
290
00:14:43,226 --> 00:14:46,193
Grimes:
I love wolfgang champagne.
291
00:14:46,229 --> 00:14:47,962
I mean, I think you really
showed yourself as, like,
292
00:14:47,997 --> 00:14:50,097
a three-dimensional artist.
293
00:14:50,166 --> 00:14:52,833
But, misty rose, you've been
really winning me over,
294
00:14:52,835 --> 00:14:57,471
and I don't think I can
take misty off the diamond.
295
00:14:57,473 --> 00:14:59,941
However, that was such
a good performance,
296
00:15:00,009 --> 00:15:01,475
and I will be fighting
for you, wolfy.
297
00:15:05,782 --> 00:15:10,117
Misty rose,
that was the best use of props
298
00:15:10,153 --> 00:15:13,454
aligning with the alter ego.
299
00:15:13,523 --> 00:15:18,793
But, wolfy, I wasn't expecting
radiohead, "creep."
300
00:15:18,828 --> 00:15:22,530
to hear that
with a pop opera twist to it
was pretty magical.
301
00:15:22,598 --> 00:15:25,299
But then today
was the first time that we saw
302
00:15:25,335 --> 00:15:27,635
- a sensitive side to wolf.
- Mm-hmm.
303
00:15:27,670 --> 00:15:30,905
Will:
I thought that that dynamic,
to go from all those gears
304
00:15:30,940 --> 00:15:33,641
has been
pretty freaking fantastic.
305
00:15:33,676 --> 00:15:37,044
And so with that, I would like
to see wolfy on the diamond.
306
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,714
Rocsi: That is one vote
for wolfgang
307
00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:41,382
and one vote for misty rose.
308
00:15:41,417 --> 00:15:45,152
Alanis, does wolfgang deserve
to be on the diamond?
309
00:15:45,188 --> 00:15:48,189
I think, wolfy, you're a huge,
huge superstar.
310
00:15:49,993 --> 00:15:52,326
But I loved
misty rose's performance,
311
00:15:52,362 --> 00:15:55,196
and I felt to be a really
holistic experience
312
00:15:55,231 --> 00:15:57,631
on multiple levels.
313
00:15:57,633 --> 00:15:59,967
So as much as it tortures me
to say this,
314
00:16:00,003 --> 00:16:03,571
I'm going to keep misty
on that diamond.
315
00:16:07,710 --> 00:16:11,412
Rocsi:
Wolfy needed three votes
to be on the diamond.
316
00:16:11,481 --> 00:16:15,216
Later tonight,
you'll be at the mercy
of an audience and judge vote.
317
00:16:15,251 --> 00:16:16,984
Oh, wolfy!
318
00:16:16,986 --> 00:16:18,786
Rocsi:
Because two alter egos
are going home
319
00:16:18,788 --> 00:16:21,088
at the end of the night.
We're gonna find out.
320
00:16:21,190 --> 00:16:22,990
More show after this.
321
00:16:24,427 --> 00:16:27,094
I just want everybody to come,
laugh, have a good time,
322
00:16:27,163 --> 00:16:28,529
and not learn a thing.
323
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:33,667
♪ the things you say
324
00:16:33,703 --> 00:16:35,703
♪ we're unpredictable
325
00:16:35,705 --> 00:16:41,308
( humming "unbelievable" )
326
00:16:41,310 --> 00:16:44,145
- that sounds about right.
- It's "unbelievable."
327
00:16:45,281 --> 00:16:46,947
sadly, that's what I do
with my own lyrics.
328
00:16:46,983 --> 00:16:49,350
You know what?
If it's your song,
you can do whatever you want.
329
00:16:49,352 --> 00:16:52,353
I cannot remember a lyric
to save my life.
330
00:16:52,355 --> 00:16:54,155
♪ you're unbelievable
331
00:16:58,261 --> 00:17:00,127
welcome back.
You're watching "alter ego."
332
00:17:00,163 --> 00:17:01,495
I am rocsi diaz.
333
00:17:01,531 --> 00:17:04,532
We have four alter egos
competing for two spots
334
00:17:04,567 --> 00:17:05,933
in the finale tonight.
335
00:17:05,968 --> 00:17:08,936
Misty rose is currently
on the diamond.
336
00:17:08,971 --> 00:17:11,605
We'll see if she stays up there.
337
00:17:11,674 --> 00:17:13,941
But there's an alter ego
who's been dying
338
00:17:13,976 --> 00:17:17,278
to get on this stage
and give it all that she's got.
339
00:17:17,313 --> 00:17:19,080
So let's give her that chance.
340
00:17:19,115 --> 00:17:21,182
Give it up for queen dynamite.
341
00:17:22,351 --> 00:17:24,552
Queen dynamite:
To be in the semi-finals,
342
00:17:24,587 --> 00:17:27,421
it feels like, "is this real?"
343
00:17:27,423 --> 00:17:29,623
if I go to the finals,
344
00:17:29,625 --> 00:17:32,226
like, my head is blown.
345
00:17:32,228 --> 00:17:33,394
Like, it is blown.
346
00:17:33,429 --> 00:17:36,063
Like, "oh, my gosh, this is it."
347
00:17:36,099 --> 00:17:37,932
( music playing )
348
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,801
well, I would want
queen dynamite's brand to be
349
00:17:40,837 --> 00:17:43,270
somewhat of women empowerment.
350
00:17:43,306 --> 00:17:45,306
She lets everyone know that,
guess what.
351
00:17:45,308 --> 00:17:47,741
You can accomplish everything
you set out to do.
352
00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:50,911
Because coming from being
a teenage mother,
353
00:17:50,947 --> 00:17:53,581
it's been about ten plus years
354
00:17:53,649 --> 00:17:56,984
I have been waiting
for this opportunity.
355
00:17:57,019 --> 00:18:00,754
My daughter is izaria.
She is 12 years old.
356
00:18:00,790 --> 00:18:05,192
And my son is dash.
He is about to turn seven.
357
00:18:05,228 --> 00:18:08,129
My kids are definitely
my inspiration to keep fighting.
358
00:18:08,164 --> 00:18:11,298
And I know that
I will not hear the end of it
359
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:13,467
from my daughter if I lose.
360
00:18:13,503 --> 00:18:15,102
I'm like, "no."
361
00:18:16,572 --> 00:18:20,574
if I won "alter ego,"
like, my kids will know
362
00:18:20,676 --> 00:18:23,944
that they can do
whatever they want to do.
363
00:18:23,946 --> 00:18:27,581
Whatever dreams they have,
it's nothing that can stop them.
364
00:18:27,617 --> 00:18:30,417
So, I really hope I win.
365
00:18:30,453 --> 00:18:32,319
I really hope so.
366
00:18:35,291 --> 00:18:37,091
- Whoo!
- Nick: So, queen dynamite,
367
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,627
I'm curious, how are you
gonna up your game
368
00:18:39,629 --> 00:18:42,263
from the head-to-head rounds
to now the semi-final rounds?
369
00:18:42,298 --> 00:18:44,632
Well, in the head-to-heads,
370
00:18:44,667 --> 00:18:47,501
I really didn't know
who queen dynamite was.
371
00:18:47,537 --> 00:18:50,304
So I feel like I was able
to mesh that now,
372
00:18:50,306 --> 00:18:51,939
so I think
I'm just gonna be able
373
00:18:51,974 --> 00:18:53,941
to put on a great show.
374
00:18:53,976 --> 00:18:57,545
I want you all to know
who I am as queen dynamite.
375
00:18:57,547 --> 00:19:00,781
I wanna give my best.
So, I think I'm gonna rock it.
376
00:19:02,618 --> 00:19:05,085
All right,
let's see you rock it then,
queen dynamite.
377
00:19:05,154 --> 00:19:06,453
All right.

The world knows queen dynamite.
You are letting it show, girl.
417
00:21:10,112 --> 00:21:13,681
That was absolutely amazing.
418
00:21:13,716 --> 00:21:17,017
Judges, what did you think
of queen dynamite's performance?
419
00:21:17,086 --> 00:21:18,152
Alanis?
420
00:21:18,154 --> 00:21:20,587
I noticed a big evolution
421
00:21:20,623 --> 00:21:23,390
from auditions
to head-to-heads to here.
422
00:21:23,426 --> 00:21:25,159
It really shined through
in your performance
423
00:21:25,194 --> 00:21:27,928
that you've been upping
the ante on your own.
424
00:21:27,963 --> 00:21:29,430
Thank you so much.
425
00:21:30,966 --> 00:21:34,234
The diamond vote
is extremely important tonight.
426
00:21:37,306 --> 00:21:40,674
So, judges,
should queen dynamite
427
00:21:40,676 --> 00:21:43,477
be on the diamond
and in the finale?
428
00:21:43,512 --> 00:21:45,646
It's time to cast your votes.
429
00:21:45,681 --> 00:21:49,116
- Crowd: Dynamite! Dynamite!
- Whoo!
430
00:21:49,118 --> 00:21:54,121
I have to be real
with my decision.
431
00:21:54,123 --> 00:21:57,491
Queen dynamite,
your voice is powerful.
432
00:21:59,428 --> 00:22:02,129
But, misty rose,
you're so dynamic.
433
00:22:03,999 --> 00:22:08,535
And I'm gonna be putting
misty rose on the diamond.
434
00:22:11,374 --> 00:22:13,173
Rocsi: Queen dynamite,
you need three votes
435
00:22:13,242 --> 00:22:15,542
to get on the diamond,
and that is one for misty.
436
00:22:16,946 --> 00:22:19,346
One more vote for misty rose
will keep her on the diamond
437
00:22:19,382 --> 00:22:22,383
and put you at risk
of going home tonight.
438
00:22:23,953 --> 00:22:25,586
Alanis?
439
00:22:25,621 --> 00:22:28,222
I was already excited
before you started to sing
440
00:22:28,257 --> 00:22:32,960
just based on the whole look
of the experience.
441
00:22:32,995 --> 00:22:34,862
'cause it was an experience.
It wasn't just a performance.
442
00:22:34,897 --> 00:22:36,430
Thank you.
443
00:22:36,432 --> 00:22:40,100
But there's an intangible thing
that misty rose has
444
00:22:40,169 --> 00:22:43,637
that has me want to keep you
on the diamond.
445
00:22:43,672 --> 00:22:44,938
Thank you!
446
00:22:46,842 --> 00:22:49,309
Rocsi: That is two votes
for misty rose
447
00:22:49,345 --> 00:22:50,911
to stay on the diamond.
448
00:22:50,946 --> 00:22:53,414
We know you need
at least three votes
449
00:22:53,449 --> 00:22:54,915
to be put on the diamond.
450
00:23:00,322 --> 00:23:04,491
But sadly, that means
that you are at risk
451
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,227
of going home tonight,
queen dynamite.
452
00:23:07,229 --> 00:23:09,930
With only two spots
on the line for the finale,
453
00:23:09,999 --> 00:23:12,933
this semi-final round
is getting intense.
454
00:23:13,002 --> 00:23:14,635
Our last performance
is after the break,
455
00:23:14,670 --> 00:23:15,936
so do not go anywhere.
456
00:23:15,971 --> 00:23:17,971
This is "alter ego" on fox.
457
00:23:22,077 --> 00:23:23,577
Misty gave a great
performance tonight.
458
00:23:23,646 --> 00:23:27,181
Like, misty just
wasn't on the docket for me
before until tonight.
459
00:23:27,249 --> 00:23:28,782
- She won you over, huh?
- Yeah, she won me over.
460
00:23:28,818 --> 00:23:30,751
Night journey can mess it up.
It's hers to take
or hers to mess up.
461
00:23:30,786 --> 00:23:32,319
Hanging in the balance.
I agree.
462
00:23:36,325 --> 00:23:38,025
Announcer: Night journey
is ready for her performance.
463
00:23:38,060 --> 00:23:40,661
Motion capture is set.
464
00:23:40,729 --> 00:23:41,662
Welcome back to "alter ego."
465
00:23:41,697 --> 00:23:43,564
what?
466
00:23:43,599 --> 00:23:46,099
Rocsi:
Misty rose is on the diamond,
467
00:23:46,168 --> 00:23:48,635
and there is only one thing
standing between her
468
00:23:48,671 --> 00:23:52,439
and a spot in the finale.
It's night journey.
469
00:23:55,478 --> 00:23:57,911
Night journey:
I definitely feel more pressure
470
00:23:57,947 --> 00:24:00,214
going into this round than
I have this whole competition.
471
00:24:00,249 --> 00:24:03,417
It's a little more tense
when we're all
around each other.
472
00:24:03,452 --> 00:24:06,119
Night journey is all about
the light and the dark,
473
00:24:06,155 --> 00:24:09,189
and that's where I get, like,
a lot of my inspiration.
474
00:24:09,225 --> 00:24:11,258
Growing up,
I always had depression,
475
00:24:11,293 --> 00:24:12,626
and that's something
I struggled with.
476
00:24:12,628 --> 00:24:15,229
And then as I got older,
it developed into bipolar.
477
00:24:16,465 --> 00:24:19,466
Music saved my life,
'cause I started writing music
478
00:24:19,468 --> 00:24:21,935
when I felt like
I didn't have any hope,
479
00:24:21,971 --> 00:24:24,304
and it gave me a way
to express how I feel.
480
00:24:24,340 --> 00:24:26,306
♪ and I know
481
00:24:26,308 --> 00:24:29,276
♪ time will not retreat
482
00:24:29,311 --> 00:24:31,945
♪ but I'm standing on my feet
483
00:24:31,981 --> 00:24:35,115
that's why night journey
is so obsessed
with telling a story.
484
00:24:35,150 --> 00:24:37,751
Night journey really gave me
an opportunity
485
00:24:37,786 --> 00:24:40,287
to see that there is light
in my dark,
486
00:24:40,322 --> 00:24:42,756
and I'm okay because of that.
487
00:24:42,791 --> 00:24:44,124
Thank you.
488
00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:46,126
The judges are looking
for more than just a singer.
489
00:24:46,161 --> 00:24:47,794
They're looking for an artist.
490
00:24:47,796 --> 00:24:50,264
I'm not really afraid of what
people think of me anymore,
491
00:24:50,299 --> 00:24:51,465
and I might be able to be
492
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:53,500
the next digital superstar
because of it.
493
00:24:54,637 --> 00:24:57,638
Grimes: Night journey,
if you were to put out a record,
494
00:24:57,673 --> 00:24:58,939
how would you describe
your music,
495
00:24:59,008 --> 00:25:00,874
and what genre
would your music be?
496
00:25:00,910 --> 00:25:02,409
- Indie.
- Cool.
497
00:25:02,478 --> 00:25:04,278
I would want my music
to be something
498
00:25:04,313 --> 00:25:06,380
that people turn on
when they're alone,
499
00:25:06,415 --> 00:25:09,316
and I would want it
to be for all the people
who feel lost.
500
00:25:10,386 --> 00:25:11,451
Okay.

Rocsi: Wow! Night journey!
532
00:27:06,769 --> 00:27:09,469
Crowd: Night journey!
Night journey!
533
00:27:09,505 --> 00:27:13,707
Judges, what did you think
of night journey?
534
00:27:15,110 --> 00:27:17,511
Singing with that kind of soul,
535
00:27:17,546 --> 00:27:19,880
that's not something
that's really taught,
536
00:27:19,915 --> 00:27:21,415
and night journey, really,
537
00:27:21,483 --> 00:27:23,950
she identifies
and sings from a place
538
00:27:23,986 --> 00:27:26,319
that makes it palpable.
539
00:27:26,355 --> 00:27:28,955
If you become
the next digital superstar,
540
00:27:28,991 --> 00:27:32,959
for that digital superstar
to have soul,
541
00:27:32,995 --> 00:27:34,828
I mean, that's the integration
of everything,
542
00:27:34,863 --> 00:27:37,297
and I'm here for you and it.
543
00:27:37,332 --> 00:27:39,066
Thank you so much.
544
00:27:41,837 --> 00:27:45,772
All right,
this is a huge decision
for the judges right now.
545
00:27:45,841 --> 00:27:47,774
The alter ego
they put on the diamond
546
00:27:47,843 --> 00:27:51,044
will automatically advance
to the finale.
547
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,913
No one has been able
to knock misty rose
548
00:27:52,948 --> 00:27:55,082
off the diamond tonight,
549
00:27:55,117 --> 00:27:56,950
but will night journey
be able to?
550
00:27:56,952 --> 00:27:59,186
She will need
at least three votes.
551
00:28:00,355 --> 00:28:02,656
Judges, this is all
on you right now.
552
00:28:02,658 --> 00:28:04,658
It's time for your vote.
553
00:28:04,693 --> 00:28:07,928
Misty rose,
I think overall tonight
554
00:28:07,996 --> 00:28:12,132
you are probably most improved
in the whole show.
555
00:28:12,167 --> 00:28:14,768
And then, night journey,
it's, like, you've got something
556
00:28:14,837 --> 00:28:17,003
that's just really emotional
557
00:28:17,072 --> 00:28:20,140
and I get goose bumps
every time you sing.
558
00:28:20,142 --> 00:28:23,744
And so I am putting
night journey on the diamond.
559
00:28:23,779 --> 00:28:25,412
Thank you so much.
560
00:28:28,150 --> 00:28:32,119
That is one vote
for night journey to move on.
561
00:28:32,154 --> 00:28:33,253
Nick?
562
00:28:33,322 --> 00:28:34,588
Nick: This is a huge deal
563
00:28:34,623 --> 00:28:37,791
to get a guaranteed spot
in the finale.
564
00:28:37,826 --> 00:28:41,595
That being said,
there was something
about all the elements
565
00:28:41,630 --> 00:28:44,464
of what in my mind this show is
566
00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:46,466
that came together
for misty rose in a way
567
00:28:46,502 --> 00:28:48,001
that was really,
really powerful tonight.
568
00:28:48,036 --> 00:28:52,839
And so my vote would be to keep
misty rose on the diamond.
569
00:28:55,210 --> 00:28:57,778
Rocsi:
So far that is one vote each.
570
00:28:57,846 --> 00:28:59,479
Alanis?
571
00:28:59,515 --> 00:29:04,351
Misty rose,
I felt your performance
was so whole, you know?
572
00:29:05,687 --> 00:29:07,420
Then, night journey,
573
00:29:07,456 --> 00:29:08,789
just my overall
impression of you
574
00:29:08,824 --> 00:29:11,024
is that I would be
super fangirl-ing out
575
00:29:11,059 --> 00:29:12,926
just following your career.
576
00:29:12,995 --> 00:29:14,795
So I'm gonna ask night journey
to jump up there.
577
00:29:17,666 --> 00:29:20,100
That is two votes
for night journey.
578
00:29:20,135 --> 00:29:22,602
But night journey,
you need three votes
579
00:29:22,671 --> 00:29:24,538
to take that diamond spot.
580
00:29:24,540 --> 00:29:26,807
Will, it is all up to you.
581
00:29:28,443 --> 00:29:31,745
I think they both have
the ability to go to the final.
582
00:29:33,315 --> 00:29:35,248
- I like misty rose's pizzazz.
- Yeah.
583
00:29:35,317 --> 00:29:38,752
But then I like
night journey's depth.
584
00:29:38,787 --> 00:29:42,789
But the best performance
of the night...
585
00:29:42,825 --> 00:29:44,191
- Night journey,
night journey.
- ...Is misty.
586
00:29:44,226 --> 00:29:45,392
Yeah.
587
00:29:48,730 --> 00:29:51,798
Rocsi: I'm sorry, night journey.
You didn't get the three votes
588
00:29:51,834 --> 00:29:54,267
required to take a spot
on the diamond,
589
00:29:54,269 --> 00:29:57,504
so misty rose is going
to the finale.
590
00:29:57,539 --> 00:30:00,473
Which means, night journey,
591
00:30:00,509 --> 00:30:04,744
unfortunately, you are now
in danger of going home tonight.
592
00:30:04,780 --> 00:30:07,781
Three alter egos remain
in the running
593
00:30:07,850 --> 00:30:09,783
- for one spot in the finale.
- Oh, damn.
594
00:30:09,818 --> 00:30:13,553
Let's welcome wolfgang champagne
595
00:30:13,555 --> 00:30:15,989
and queen dynamite
back to the stage.
596
00:30:16,024 --> 00:30:18,024
Nick: Yeah!
597
00:30:18,060 --> 00:30:20,327
Rocsi: I will now
ask the audience to vote
598
00:30:20,362 --> 00:30:22,095
for their favorite alter ego.
599
00:30:22,164 --> 00:30:24,898
The alter ego that receives
the least votes
600
00:30:24,967 --> 00:30:26,900
will be eliminated.
601
00:30:28,871 --> 00:30:30,470
It just got real, y'all.
602
00:30:33,909 --> 00:30:35,508
They're so
dramatically different,
603
00:30:35,544 --> 00:30:38,044
- it's almost a matter of
which one do you prefer?
- Yeah.
604
00:30:42,150 --> 00:30:45,051
Only one alter ego
can move on to the finale.
605
00:30:45,087 --> 00:30:48,321
The audience votes
have officially been counted.
606
00:30:53,495 --> 00:30:56,830
And I can now confirm
that the alter ego
607
00:30:56,865 --> 00:31:00,934
who received
the fewest audience votes,
608
00:31:00,969 --> 00:31:05,872
becoming the first alter ego
to leave us tonight is...
609
00:31:19,554 --> 00:31:22,756
Rocsi:
We have three alter egos
up for elimination:
610
00:31:22,791 --> 00:31:25,759
Wolfgang champagne,
night journey,
611
00:31:25,794 --> 00:31:28,128
or queen dynamite.
612
00:31:28,163 --> 00:31:31,231
I can now confirm that
the alter ego
613
00:31:31,266 --> 00:31:33,700
who received
the fewest audience votes,
614
00:31:33,769 --> 00:31:37,504
becoming the first alter ego
to leave us tonight...
615
00:31:39,508 --> 00:31:40,941
Is...
616
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,147
Queen dynamite.
617
00:31:50,118 --> 00:31:54,087
That means, wolfgang champagne
and night journey,
618
00:31:54,122 --> 00:31:56,356
you are safe for now.
619
00:31:56,391 --> 00:31:59,626
The judges will decide
your fate later tonight.
620
00:32:02,664 --> 00:32:05,098
Queen dynamite, before you go,
621
00:32:05,133 --> 00:32:07,934
would you please sing
one last song
622
00:32:08,003 --> 00:32:10,904
and then reveal your
true identity to the judges?
623
00:32:10,939 --> 00:32:12,706
Of course, I will.
624
00:32:12,708 --> 00:32:14,274
Yeah!
625
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,448
- I really wanna meet
queen dynamite.
- Grimes: Yeah.
626
00:32:21,483 --> 00:32:23,717
Will: She, like,
about to blow it up.
627
00:32:27,289 --> 00:32:28,355

Wow.
659
00:34:29,644 --> 00:34:32,312
Meet dasharra,
aka queen dynamite.
660
00:34:35,817 --> 00:34:38,751
I thought for sure
you were gonna be, like, 6'2".
661
00:34:40,922 --> 00:34:42,589
I mean, you have this,
like, huge presence
662
00:34:42,624 --> 00:34:43,957
even though you're so small.
663
00:34:43,992 --> 00:34:46,993
I'm happy that
I made it here, okay?
664
00:34:46,995 --> 00:34:49,429
- Listen.
- You made it really far.
665
00:34:49,464 --> 00:34:51,431
Dasharra: I made it.
666
00:34:51,466 --> 00:34:53,433
I kind of put
everything behind me,
667
00:34:53,468 --> 00:34:54,667
like, when I had my children,
668
00:34:54,703 --> 00:34:57,237
I kind of forgot
about being a singer.
669
00:34:57,272 --> 00:35:01,774
And honestly,
I feel like "alter ego"
and queen dynamite--
670
00:35:01,810 --> 00:35:03,943
which I love her so much--
671
00:35:03,945 --> 00:35:05,945
she just helped me
get back out there
672
00:35:05,981 --> 00:35:08,281
and face whatever fears
I did have.
673
00:35:08,316 --> 00:35:10,583
You know,
any lack of confidence
I did have,
674
00:35:10,619 --> 00:35:11,851
I don't have that anymore.
675
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,622
So I'm just very thankful
for queen dynamite, yes?
676
00:35:17,159 --> 00:35:20,293
Don't stop,
because you have so much light,
677
00:35:20,362 --> 00:35:21,427
and you light up the room.
678
00:35:21,463 --> 00:35:24,063
And your voice
has a similar power
679
00:35:24,099 --> 00:35:27,033
- to mary j's voice.
- Thank you.
680
00:35:27,068 --> 00:35:30,637
We need that joy,
that uplifting in life,
681
00:35:30,672 --> 00:35:35,108
- and you have
something powerful.
- Thank you so much.
682
00:35:35,143 --> 00:35:38,912
Is there anything that you would
like to say to queen dynamite?
683
00:35:38,914 --> 00:35:41,548
Queen dynamite,
I love you so much.
684
00:35:41,583 --> 00:35:44,617
- Like...
- ( crowd whooping )
685
00:35:49,591 --> 00:35:55,061
she has brought me
a lot of peace, a lot of joy.
686
00:35:55,130 --> 00:35:58,798
'cause, you know,
sometimes you just
don't believe you can do it.
687
00:35:58,833 --> 00:36:01,100
But, I mean, queen dynamite,
she can do it.
688
00:36:02,270 --> 00:36:05,572
- Rocsi: Dasharra,
thank you so much.
- Thank you.
689
00:36:05,607 --> 00:36:08,474
And as we say goodbye
to queen dynamite,
690
00:36:08,510 --> 00:36:12,345
wolfgang champagne
and night journey
await their fate.
691
00:36:12,347 --> 00:36:15,515
One more identity
will be revealed later tonight.
692
00:36:15,550 --> 00:36:19,619
Do not go anywhere.
We'll be right back with more
"alter ego" after this.
693
00:36:25,427 --> 00:36:27,026
Welcome back.
694
00:36:27,062 --> 00:36:30,396
It's been an action-packed night
tonight on "alter ego,"
695
00:36:30,432 --> 00:36:33,933
and now only
two alter egos remain.
696
00:36:34,002 --> 00:36:35,902
Wolfgang champagne,
697
00:36:35,904 --> 00:36:38,771
he has been a fan favorite
and frontrunner.
698
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,109
And night journey, she has
connected with the audience
and touched our souls.
699
00:36:43,111 --> 00:36:48,281
The judges can only save
one of them,
700
00:36:48,316 --> 00:36:51,384
and that alter ego
will move on to the finale.
701
00:36:52,954 --> 00:36:57,457
( crowd howling )
702
00:36:57,525 --> 00:36:58,591
wolfy!
703
00:36:58,627 --> 00:37:01,861
- ( crowd shouting )
- judges?
704
00:37:01,863 --> 00:37:05,765
Wolfy, I just want you to know
that you have really moved me,
705
00:37:05,834 --> 00:37:08,935
and I was incredibly impressed
by your artistry.
706
00:37:08,970 --> 00:37:11,871
And then, night journey,
I can feel your pathos
when you sing.
707
00:37:11,906 --> 00:37:14,941
So, I'm going to...
708
00:37:14,976 --> 00:37:16,509
Save night journey.
709
00:37:16,544 --> 00:37:18,945
That's one vote
for night journey.
710
00:37:18,947 --> 00:37:20,747
Nick?
711
00:37:20,782 --> 00:37:23,249
Wolfy, I mean, look,
as we've said all along,
712
00:37:23,318 --> 00:37:25,718
you are--
you're an entertainer.
713
00:37:25,754 --> 00:37:28,254
And, night journey,
your emotional connection
714
00:37:28,323 --> 00:37:31,791
to what you're singing
is really, really contagious.
715
00:37:31,826 --> 00:37:36,095
And it's a really
difficult decision, but...
716
00:37:36,131 --> 00:37:38,197
( howls )
717
00:37:41,236 --> 00:37:43,870
there's just something
I cannot get enough of
with this guy,
718
00:37:43,905 --> 00:37:46,105
and I wanna see him
in the final, so...
719
00:37:46,141 --> 00:37:48,541
Rocsi:
That's one vote for wolfy,
720
00:37:48,576 --> 00:37:50,510
one vote for night journey.
721
00:37:50,512 --> 00:37:51,744
Will?
722
00:37:51,780 --> 00:37:55,114
So there's a part of me
that's, like, dang,
723
00:37:55,116 --> 00:37:56,783
I need wolfy in my life.
724
00:37:58,620 --> 00:38:03,890
But the artist that's complete
is night journey.
725
00:38:03,925 --> 00:38:05,391
So, night journey.
726
00:38:07,062 --> 00:38:09,896
That is two votes
for night journey,
727
00:38:09,931 --> 00:38:12,098
one vote for wolfy.
728
00:38:12,133 --> 00:38:14,300
There's only one vote left.
729
00:38:14,302 --> 00:38:16,469
If this ends up in a tie,
730
00:38:16,504 --> 00:38:19,172
it goes back
to the studio audience.
731
00:38:19,207 --> 00:38:22,308
( crowd murmuring )
732
00:38:22,344 --> 00:38:23,576
alanis?
733
00:38:23,611 --> 00:38:26,412
Alanis:
People love you, wolfgang.
734
00:38:26,481 --> 00:38:28,181
You aren't easily categorized.
735
00:38:28,216 --> 00:38:31,417
And part of what I love
about your not being
so easily categorized
736
00:38:31,453 --> 00:38:33,786
is that I actually in some ways
also relate to it.
737
00:38:33,788 --> 00:38:36,622
Because when
I was first making music,
people would say to me,
738
00:38:36,658 --> 00:38:37,957
"well, what are you?
739
00:38:37,992 --> 00:38:40,793
Are you alternative?
Are you rock? Are you pop?
740
00:38:40,829 --> 00:38:43,930
What are you?", you know?
And I would just say, "yes."
741
00:38:44,999 --> 00:38:46,799
and I feel that from you.
742
00:38:46,835 --> 00:38:49,635
Night journey,
we were talking earlier about
743
00:38:49,671 --> 00:38:51,838
who we would imagine
at award shows
744
00:38:51,873 --> 00:38:54,307
or shows in general,
who we could see there.
745
00:38:54,309 --> 00:38:56,909
I do think it could
very well be night journey,
746
00:38:56,945 --> 00:38:58,478
so I'm choosing night journey.
747
00:39:02,617 --> 00:39:05,651
Rocsi:
And there you have it.
748
00:39:05,687 --> 00:39:10,022
Congratulations.
You are advancing to the finale.
749
00:39:10,057 --> 00:39:12,392
We will see you there.
750
00:39:14,262 --> 00:39:16,095
It really breaks my heart
to say this,
751
00:39:16,131 --> 00:39:18,931
but it is the end
of your journey here
752
00:39:18,967 --> 00:39:20,767
and your time at "alter ego."
753
00:39:20,835 --> 00:39:23,403
but would you sing one last time
754
00:39:23,471 --> 00:39:26,205
and come out here
and meet everyone in person?
755
00:39:26,274 --> 00:39:27,974
No! I lost!
756
00:39:28,009 --> 00:39:32,745
I'm going home, putting my tail
between my legs!
757
00:39:32,781 --> 00:39:36,716
It would be greatest honor
to come out and meet you all
and sing for you.
758
00:39:37,919 --> 00:39:39,986
Whoo!
( howls )
759
00:39:40,021 --> 00:39:42,989
rocsi: Everyone, give it up
for wolfgang champagne!
760
00:39:43,024 --> 00:39:45,625
Crowd: Wolfy! Wolfy!
Wolfy! Wolfy!
761
00:39:45,627 --> 00:39:49,128
I gotta say, I am incredibly
curious to meet wolfy.
762
00:39:50,231 --> 00:39:51,664
Alanis: Yes.
763
00:39:56,938 --> 00:39:58,438

putting it down!
785
00:41:25,393 --> 00:41:29,195
( all howling )
786
00:41:29,197 --> 00:41:33,399
all: Wolfy! Wolfy!
Wolfy! Wolfy!
787
00:41:33,434 --> 00:41:36,335
I didn't think I was
gonna be crying already.
788
00:41:36,404 --> 00:41:37,937
Oh, my gosh.
789
00:41:38,006 --> 00:41:41,841
- I'm so sad to see you go.
- Not as sad as I am!
790
00:41:43,144 --> 00:41:45,912
Oh, my goodness.
Judges, this is the human
791
00:41:45,947 --> 00:41:48,014
behind wolfgang champagne,
792
00:41:48,049 --> 00:41:51,183
aka matthew.
793
00:41:52,287 --> 00:41:54,120
I don't even know
how to say this
794
00:41:54,122 --> 00:41:56,756
because I'm gonna tear up.
795
00:41:56,791 --> 00:41:58,958
I am 60 years old.
796
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,359
And someone said to me
the other day,
797
00:42:00,395 --> 00:42:01,494
"you're middle-aged."
798
00:42:01,563 --> 00:42:04,297
and I said,
"only if I live to 120."
799
00:42:05,667 --> 00:42:08,501
first off, you guys
made me feel relevant.
800
00:42:08,536 --> 00:42:10,636
You made me feel that
as that long as I'm breathing,
801
00:42:10,672 --> 00:42:13,239
something really cool
can happen.
802
00:42:13,274 --> 00:42:16,075
I was sleeping in the back
of a truck eight weeks ago.
803
00:42:16,110 --> 00:42:17,276
And now you're here
in hollywood.
804
00:42:17,312 --> 00:42:20,646
And now I'm here
making rocsi cry.
805
00:42:20,682 --> 00:42:22,982
( howling )
806
00:42:23,017 --> 00:42:24,884
we've seen
so many sides of wolfy,
807
00:42:24,919 --> 00:42:26,953
so it's been awesome
to have you on the show,
808
00:42:26,955 --> 00:42:29,388
and I wish you could
go all the way.
809
00:42:30,592 --> 00:42:32,959
You talk about what the show
has given you.
810
00:42:32,994 --> 00:42:35,428
I just hope you can truly
appreciate and you recognize
811
00:42:35,463 --> 00:42:37,363
and realize what
you've given to this show.
812
00:42:41,369 --> 00:42:44,804
Wow. Two bittersweet goodbyes,
but a very exciting night
813
00:42:44,839 --> 00:42:47,807
for misty rose
and night journey,
814
00:42:47,842 --> 00:42:51,477
who have advanced to the finale.
815
00:42:51,479 --> 00:42:56,582
It won't be long
before we have our first
next generation superstar
816
00:42:56,651 --> 00:42:58,751
standing right here
on this stage.
817
00:42:58,786 --> 00:43:02,421
Come back next week
for the second night
of semi-finals. Good night.
