Well, we've talked a lot
about all those elements
converging together,

00:01:54,158 --> 00:01:57,926
like, the technology
with the talent
with the stage presence,
37
00:01:57,961 --> 00:01:59,561
so I think what
I'm looking for tonight
38
00:01:59,596 --> 00:02:03,331
is who can combine
that humanity and that emotion

gonna set two of you apart

But with seven,
there isn't a preconceived

00:09:31,815 --> 00:09:34,148
I feel like the reason
I haven't been successful
175
00:09:34,184 --> 00:09:39,253
in my music career this far
is my insecurities
and my social anxiety.
176
00:09:39,322 --> 00:09:42,390
I kind of just feel like maybe
they won't want to talk to me
177
00:09:42,425 --> 00:09:43,992
or something because
of the way that I look.
178
00:09:44,027 --> 00:09:46,761
Yeah, I'm just nervous.
179
00:09:46,796 --> 00:09:50,131
Having safara
has definitely helped me grow
180
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,968
and learn to love myself more
and to be more confident,
181
00:09:54,037 --> 00:09:57,672
and that represents exactly
the kind of artist I want to be.
182
00:09:57,707 --> 00:10:00,508
It's important to me
to make it to the finals
183
00:10:00,510 --> 00:10:05,913
because I want to get
what I've been working for
my entire life,
184
00:10:05,949 --> 00:10:06,981
a spot on that stage.
185
00:10:07,050 --> 00:10:09,984
It's mariah and safara
till the end.
186
00:10:12,555 --> 00:10:13,588
Whoo!
187
00:10:14,858 --> 00:10:16,758
Are you ready
for tonight's performance?
188
00:10:16,793 --> 00:10:19,460
I am. I am very ready
for tonight's performance.
189
00:10:19,529 --> 00:10:22,363
You know, uh...
190
00:10:24,234 --> 00:10:30,004
This performance
means a lot to me because I--
191
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,941
I've been told
my whole life that--
192
00:10:34,010 --> 00:10:37,278
that I will never
make it as a singer
193
00:10:37,313 --> 00:10:39,080
because of the way
that I look.
194
00:10:39,115 --> 00:10:43,785
And I just wanna
prove everybody wrong,
195
00:10:43,853 --> 00:10:46,320
and I want to everybody
to know that--
196
00:10:46,322 --> 00:10:48,189
( sobs )
thank you.
197
00:10:51,194 --> 00:10:54,996
Well, I'm so proud
of your conviction.
198
00:10:55,031 --> 00:10:59,133
- Thank you.
- And I stand connected
199
00:10:59,169 --> 00:11:03,337
and believe in the theory
that music has no shape.
200
00:11:03,373 --> 00:11:06,708
- Or music is not supposed
to have a shape.
- Yeah. Thank you.
201
00:11:08,645 --> 00:11:10,178
Are you ready to sing
for us tonight?
202
00:11:10,246 --> 00:11:12,647
- Yes, I am, will.
- Let's go. Let's do this.
203
00:11:12,682 --> 00:11:14,749
All right.
204
00:11:16,186 --> 00:11:19,320
This goes out anyone
who's fighting a battle
205
00:11:19,355 --> 00:11:20,788
but keeps pushing through,
206
00:11:20,824 --> 00:11:23,524
because wasn't doesn't kill you
makes you stronger.
207
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:24,559

00:13:22,645 --> 00:13:25,847
- That was so awesome.
- Yeah!
239
00:13:25,882 --> 00:13:29,150
Really quick, keep it going
for the musicians backing up
240
00:13:29,152 --> 00:13:31,485
every single one
of our alter egos tonight.
241
00:13:31,521 --> 00:13:33,788
It's the incredible
adam blackstone
242
00:13:33,823 --> 00:13:35,756
and the alter ego band.
243
00:13:38,595 --> 00:13:42,230
Judges, what did you think
of safara's performance?
244
00:13:42,232 --> 00:13:43,865
I thought that was fire.
245
00:13:46,669 --> 00:13:48,469
Yeah, the power you have
in your voice
246
00:13:48,504 --> 00:13:50,905
when you were up there,
that's where you excel.
247
00:13:50,940 --> 00:13:53,040
I think we've seen
a lot of growth.
248
00:13:53,076 --> 00:13:55,476
I mean, you've really--
you've come so-fara.
249
00:13:56,646 --> 00:13:58,312
Oh.
250
00:14:01,584 --> 00:14:05,620
Judges, it's time
to decide if safara
is going on the diamond.
251
00:14:05,655 --> 00:14:07,989
She will need
at least three of your votes
252
00:14:08,024 --> 00:14:12,026
to knock seven off the diamond
and take their place.
253
00:14:12,061 --> 00:14:13,461
It's time for your vote.
254
00:14:13,496 --> 00:14:15,997
You know,
I think at this point,
this competition,
255
00:14:16,032 --> 00:14:18,666
you know, we're looking
at the whole artist's vibe.
256
00:14:18,668 --> 00:14:21,502
Like, who's song
am I waiting for next?
257
00:14:21,504 --> 00:14:23,471
I mean, this is,
like, really hard.
258
00:14:23,506 --> 00:14:26,507
Um, I'm going to keep seven
on the diamond
259
00:14:26,542 --> 00:14:29,777
only just because I think seven
has put a bit more time
260
00:14:29,846 --> 00:14:32,380
into crafting
their artistic persona.
261
00:14:36,819 --> 00:14:38,219
Will?
262
00:14:38,288 --> 00:14:40,788
For me, and how I was moved
263
00:14:40,823 --> 00:14:45,459
not only by the performance--
264
00:14:45,528 --> 00:14:47,328
and seven was great as well.
265
00:14:47,363 --> 00:14:48,296
You brought it tonight.
266
00:14:48,364 --> 00:14:51,832
But there's so much depth
267
00:14:51,868 --> 00:14:55,636
in what safara said
before you sang tonight
268
00:14:55,672 --> 00:14:59,307
that really opened up
my perspective of who safara is
269
00:14:59,342 --> 00:15:01,242
and what you're
truly fighting for.
270
00:15:01,277 --> 00:15:05,513
And I just felt like safara
was my sister tonight
that I wanna fight for.
271
00:15:08,318 --> 00:15:09,383
Yeah, so safara.
272
00:15:09,385 --> 00:15:11,819
Thank you, will!
Thank you!
273
00:15:11,854 --> 00:15:13,454
All right.
274
00:15:13,523 --> 00:15:16,624
So that is one vote for seven
to stay on the diamond
275
00:15:16,659 --> 00:15:18,826
and one vote for safara
to take their place.
276
00:15:18,861 --> 00:15:22,430
Safara, you need three votes
to get on the diamond.
277
00:15:22,465 --> 00:15:24,832
One more vote for seven
will keep them on the diamond
278
00:15:24,867 --> 00:15:26,867
and put you at risk
of going home tonight.
279
00:15:26,903 --> 00:15:28,302
Nick?
280
00:15:28,338 --> 00:15:30,471
I love the way safara
channeled all that emotion
281
00:15:30,506 --> 00:15:32,907
into a really,
really powerful performance.
282
00:15:32,909 --> 00:15:36,677
I really am fascinated
and entranced by seven,
283
00:15:36,713 --> 00:15:39,580
and there's manipulation
of their voice
284
00:15:39,649 --> 00:15:41,482
and the different flavors
and layers.
285
00:15:41,517 --> 00:15:46,420
So I am going to keep seven
up on the diamond.
286
00:15:51,127 --> 00:15:54,462
Safara, unfortunately you didn't
get the three votes needed
287
00:15:54,497 --> 00:15:55,997
to get up on that diamond,
288
00:15:56,032 --> 00:15:58,499
but nobody
is going home just yet.
289
00:15:58,568 --> 00:16:00,301
There's still so much show left.
290
00:16:00,370 --> 00:16:02,803
We've got two more performances,
and we'll find out
291
00:16:02,872 --> 00:16:05,339
which two alter egos
will be one step closer
292
00:16:05,341 --> 00:16:08,009
to becoming our
next generation superstar.
293
00:16:08,077 --> 00:16:10,144
More "alter ego" after this.
294
00:16:16,652 --> 00:16:18,252
- Okay, here we go.
- ( crowd chanting )
295
00:16:20,156 --> 00:16:21,822
okay, here we go, gang.
296
00:16:21,824 --> 00:16:23,858
We're gonna meet
our next alter ego.
297
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:34,535
Welcome back.
This is "alter ego."
I'm rocsi diaz.
298
00:16:34,570 --> 00:16:38,939
Seven is on the diamond,
hoping to get that coveted
spot in the finale,
299
00:16:38,975 --> 00:16:41,542
but will they be able
to stay there?
300
00:16:41,577 --> 00:16:45,112
That's up to our next alter ego.
It's dipper scott.
301
00:16:51,954 --> 00:16:55,389
Coming out of the head-to-head,
I'm still feeling
a little bit shook up.
302
00:16:55,425 --> 00:16:57,825
♪ a little something
for the pain ♪
303
00:16:57,860 --> 00:16:59,960
I'm not gonna lie.
Dipper's my favorite.
304
00:16:59,996 --> 00:17:01,495
Hell yeah.
305
00:17:01,497 --> 00:17:05,166
Being onstage on a big platform,
it's all very strange to me.
306
00:17:05,234 --> 00:17:07,535
I can't understand why
you're not a superstar already.
307
00:17:07,570 --> 00:17:10,337
But I'm thankful
to be this far along.
308
00:17:11,707 --> 00:17:13,674
I'm excited
about the semi-finals.
309
00:17:13,709 --> 00:17:16,544
The pressure's building.
There's $100,000 on the line.
310
00:17:16,579 --> 00:17:20,214
The mentorship from the judges
could change my life forever,
311
00:17:20,283 --> 00:17:22,750
and just the future
of dipper scott
could be interesting.
312
00:17:22,785 --> 00:17:25,753
He could
technically perform remotely.
313
00:17:25,788 --> 00:17:28,355
I could be here in los angeles
314
00:17:28,391 --> 00:17:30,825
performing
for somebody in japan,
315
00:17:30,827 --> 00:17:33,627
which would definitely
be helpful for me
316
00:17:33,663 --> 00:17:36,464
given the limitations
from my crohn's disease.
317
00:17:36,499 --> 00:17:38,666
♪ a little something
for the pain ♪
318
00:17:38,668 --> 00:17:40,868
to win the semi-final round,
319
00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:43,304
I'm just gonna have
to bring my a-game
320
00:17:43,339 --> 00:17:45,573
and do something
that no one else is doing.
321
00:17:49,846 --> 00:17:52,246
- Yeah!
- Alanis: Hi, dipper scott.
322
00:17:52,281 --> 00:17:54,548
How do you feel about being
this close to the finale?
323
00:17:54,584 --> 00:17:56,951
A little terrified, but I'm
pretty proud of myself actually.
324
00:17:56,986 --> 00:17:59,787
I've never done anything
like this. It's crazy.
325
00:18:01,390 --> 00:18:02,723
Well, I'm curious too.
326
00:18:02,792 --> 00:18:05,459
How do you feel like you've
raised your level this week?
327
00:18:05,461 --> 00:18:07,828
I brought something unique today
328
00:18:07,864 --> 00:18:10,898
because the meaning of this song
is a little more specific.
329
00:18:10,933 --> 00:18:12,833
Basically, when I was a child,
330
00:18:12,869 --> 00:18:16,137
I lost a big portion
of my childhood,
331
00:18:16,172 --> 00:18:17,505
and that's something
I'll never get back.
332
00:18:17,540 --> 00:18:19,340
So the message of the song
333
00:18:19,342 --> 00:18:21,609
is from my younger self
to me now
334
00:18:21,677 --> 00:18:24,678
telling me to let go
because he would probably
335
00:18:24,714 --> 00:18:25,813
want me to just be happier,
336
00:18:25,882 --> 00:18:28,182
and moving on
is the only way to do that.
337
00:18:28,217 --> 00:18:31,519
- Wow.
- That's awesome.
338
00:18:31,554 --> 00:18:34,155
What would it mean for you
to win the whole thing?
339
00:18:34,190 --> 00:18:35,589
It would mean a lot
to me actually.
340
00:18:35,625 --> 00:18:39,994
Um, I would pay off
a lot of medical bills
341
00:18:40,029 --> 00:18:42,429
with the winning money,
for sure.
342
00:18:46,502 --> 00:18:47,968
Are you ready
to perform for us?
343
00:18:48,037 --> 00:18:50,137
- I'm ready.
- Okay.
344
00:18:50,173 --> 00:18:52,740
Nick: Let's do it.
345
00:18:52,775 --> 00:18:55,042
- I like the depth
he put on that.
- Mm-hmm.
346
00:18:55,077 --> 00:18:57,077
- He's very charismatic.
- He is.
347
00:19:02,485 --> 00:19:04,818

Dipper!
380
00:21:01,904 --> 00:21:04,538
Yeah!
381
00:21:06,342 --> 00:21:12,112
Crowd: Dipper! Dipper!
Dipper! Dipper!
382
00:21:12,114 --> 00:21:13,981
Judges.
383
00:21:15,685 --> 00:21:19,353
Tell us what you thought about
dipper scott's performance.
384
00:21:19,388 --> 00:21:24,792
You have so many qualities
and ways of performing
385
00:21:24,827 --> 00:21:26,794
that just really
deeply resonate with me.
386
00:21:26,829 --> 00:21:29,296
So just hearing the idea
of your younger part singing
387
00:21:29,365 --> 00:21:32,099
to your older part and asking
to let go of something,
388
00:21:32,168 --> 00:21:35,602
the fact that there's even
that inner dialogue
going on inside you is--
389
00:21:35,638 --> 00:21:38,305
I would be in your audience,
basically.
390
00:21:38,341 --> 00:21:40,074
I'd love for you
to be in my audience.
391
00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:43,844
Judges, it's time
for your votes.
392
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,847
Will seven stay,
393
00:21:46,882 --> 00:21:49,983
or will dipper scott
take their spot on the diamond
394
00:21:49,985 --> 00:21:52,953
and be one step closer
toward the finale?
395
00:21:52,988 --> 00:21:55,723
And remember, he needs three
of your votes to do so.
396
00:22:00,596 --> 00:22:03,464
I don't know anything about
dipper scott's backstory,
397
00:22:03,466 --> 00:22:06,700
but for some reason I feel
connected to dipper scott.
398
00:22:06,736 --> 00:22:07,935
I don't know what it is.
399
00:22:08,003 --> 00:22:09,136
I think that's the reason
400
00:22:09,171 --> 00:22:11,505
why people are gonna resonate
with dipper,
401
00:22:11,507 --> 00:22:14,241
so I would see dipper scott
on the diamond.
402
00:22:17,546 --> 00:22:18,512
Rocsi: Grimes?
403
00:22:18,547 --> 00:22:20,314
I mean, for me,
404
00:22:20,349 --> 00:22:22,916
I kinda feel like at this point
in the competition
405
00:22:22,952 --> 00:22:24,485
it's between you two.
406
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,354
Um, this is really tough,
407
00:22:27,390 --> 00:22:30,057
and I hate making
these decisions,
408
00:22:30,126 --> 00:22:32,993
but next generation superstar,
to me, seven,
409
00:22:32,995 --> 00:22:34,161
you're on the wave
of the future,
410
00:22:34,196 --> 00:22:35,963
and I'm going to keep seven
on the diamond.
411
00:22:38,701 --> 00:22:41,268
That is one vote for seven,
412
00:22:41,303 --> 00:22:43,103
one vote for dipper.
413
00:22:43,205 --> 00:22:44,204
Alanis?
414
00:22:45,307 --> 00:22:47,474
I'm actually compelled
by both of you,
415
00:22:47,476 --> 00:22:50,677
so this is truly
a torturous moment for me.
416
00:22:50,713 --> 00:22:56,116
Crowd: Dipper! Dipper!
417
00:22:56,152 --> 00:23:00,387
Um, just because
I'm such a highly,
highly sensitive person,
418
00:23:00,456 --> 00:23:03,991
I'm guessing that, dipper,
you are as well,
419
00:23:04,026 --> 00:23:07,461
and I'm going to vote for you
to go up on that diamond.
420
00:23:14,069 --> 00:23:18,138
Rocsi: All right, nick,
dipper scott needs your vote
421
00:23:18,174 --> 00:23:20,073
to take seven's spot
on the diamond.
422
00:23:20,109 --> 00:23:23,710
These are two
of the most compelling,
423
00:23:23,712 --> 00:23:27,948
fascinating, interesting,
enjoyable alter egos
424
00:23:27,983 --> 00:23:30,150
that we've seen throughout
this entire competition.
425
00:23:30,152 --> 00:23:33,620
There's something
about dipper scott
426
00:23:33,689 --> 00:23:37,524
that I gotta vote to put him
up on the diamond.
427
00:23:38,727 --> 00:23:41,328
Those are
the three votes he needed.
428
00:23:41,363 --> 00:23:43,464
Dipper scott, congratulations.
429
00:23:43,499 --> 00:23:45,833
You are headed up
on that diamond.
430
00:23:45,835 --> 00:23:47,367
Go ahead. Wow.
431
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,542
Seven, that means
that you may be leaving
the competition tonight.
432
00:23:55,611 --> 00:23:57,544
( jeering )
433
00:23:57,613 --> 00:24:00,481
we are one performance away
from learning
434
00:24:00,483 --> 00:24:03,617
which two alter egos will be
moving on to the finale
435
00:24:03,652 --> 00:24:05,786
and which two
will be leaving us tonight.
436
00:24:05,821 --> 00:24:08,055
More "alter ego" after this.
437
00:24:14,663 --> 00:24:16,663
Orlando's performance
is up next.
438
00:24:16,665 --> 00:24:19,533
We need him on
the mo-cap stage asap.
439
00:24:21,337 --> 00:24:22,336
All right, here we go.
440
00:24:29,545 --> 00:24:33,480
Welcome back.
This is "alter ego."
I'm rocsi diaz.
441
00:24:33,516 --> 00:24:36,149
Three incredible singers
have performed for us tonight.
442
00:24:36,185 --> 00:24:38,619
Dipper scott is on the diamond
443
00:24:38,687 --> 00:24:41,154
hoping to get that
coveted spot in the finale.
444
00:24:41,156 --> 00:24:43,624
But before we can find out
anyone's fate,
445
00:24:43,659 --> 00:24:45,626
there is one more alter ego
who is ready
446
00:24:45,661 --> 00:24:49,263
to step on this stage--
orlando deville.
447
00:24:52,434 --> 00:24:54,167
The studio audience
has voted for...
448
00:24:54,203 --> 00:24:56,803
( vocalizing )
449
00:24:56,839 --> 00:24:59,239
orlando deville to move on
to the semi-finals.
450
00:25:01,944 --> 00:25:05,178
Going into the semi-finals,
it's a different ballgame.
451
00:25:05,214 --> 00:25:08,782
More than half
of the contestants have been
eliminated by this point,
452
00:25:08,784 --> 00:25:11,852
so the people that are sticking
around are really good.
453
00:25:11,921 --> 00:25:14,755
No one's gonna slip up
in this environment.
454
00:25:14,790 --> 00:25:16,790
Where'd your hair go?
455
00:25:21,230 --> 00:25:23,730
Hey! So what were you thinking
for my performance?
456
00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:25,299
I just shared it with you.
457
00:25:25,334 --> 00:25:26,500
We're going
with the new york skyline.
458
00:25:26,535 --> 00:25:28,435
Chase:
Aw, that looks awesome.
459
00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:31,138
- Hey, what's up, guys?
- I just wanted to know,
460
00:25:31,173 --> 00:25:33,273
can I start with my leg up
on one of the buildings?
461
00:25:33,309 --> 00:25:34,608
Yeah, I think
that should be fine.
462
00:25:34,643 --> 00:25:36,910
Hey, gang.
What can I do for you?
463
00:25:36,912 --> 00:25:40,480
Any chance
orlando could be gold,
but a more orange gold?
464
00:25:40,516 --> 00:25:43,550
Something that's bold,
makes more of a statement
than we've had before?
465
00:25:43,586 --> 00:25:46,153
- I think we can do that.
- Thanks, everybody.
Appreciate you.
466
00:25:46,188 --> 00:25:49,323
- I like the suit.
- Oh, thank you very much.
467
00:25:49,358 --> 00:25:51,792
I'm glad you're digging
my tux-cheeto this evening.
468
00:25:51,827 --> 00:25:53,327
- Tux-cheeto.
- You like that?
469
00:25:53,362 --> 00:25:55,495
That's 24 karat velveeta
right there.
470
00:25:56,498 --> 00:25:58,265
Nick:
These are the semi-finals.
471
00:25:58,300 --> 00:26:00,834
How have you elevated
your performance?
472
00:26:00,836 --> 00:26:05,138
Well, first off,
I've been lucky enough to work
with some brilliant designers
473
00:26:05,174 --> 00:26:07,674
in this building
to bring my vision to life.
474
00:26:07,710 --> 00:26:09,576
Let's give it up for everybody
in this building, y'all.
475
00:26:12,548 --> 00:26:14,414
Orlando, you ready to show us
what you got tonight?
476
00:26:14,483 --> 00:26:17,351
- I'm ready to show you.
- All right, let's do it, man.

00:27:45,174 --> 00:27:48,508
( vocalizing )
513
00:27:48,544 --> 00:27:49,943
good god. Huh!
514
00:27:49,978 --> 00:27:51,778
Yeah! All right.
515
00:28:02,124 --> 00:28:04,858
Crowd: Orlando! Orlando!
516
00:28:04,893 --> 00:28:09,963
Whoo! Orlando deville.
517
00:28:10,032 --> 00:28:12,899
- That was hot.
- Crowd: Orlando! Orlando!
518
00:28:12,901 --> 00:28:16,503
Judges, was the third time
a charm?
519
00:28:16,538 --> 00:28:19,072
Well, it sure was charming.
I'll give him that.
520
00:28:19,108 --> 00:28:22,743
It was really, really,
really strong.
521
00:28:22,745 --> 00:28:25,946
- Alanis?
- Yeah, I'm just excited.
522
00:28:26,014 --> 00:28:28,615
Your swagger was sort of
bubbling up at the beginning,
523
00:28:28,650 --> 00:28:31,351
and then now I feel like
your swagger's full blown.
524
00:28:31,386 --> 00:28:34,387
Full blown swagger. That sounds
like a medical condition.
525
00:28:37,226 --> 00:28:39,292
Well, it all comes down to this.
526
00:28:39,361 --> 00:28:42,496
The alter ego that the judges
put on the diamond right now
527
00:28:42,531 --> 00:28:44,831
will secure a spot
in the finale.
528
00:28:45,834 --> 00:28:48,769
So, will dipper stay,
529
00:28:48,837 --> 00:28:51,505
or will orlando deville
take his spot on the diamond
530
00:28:51,507 --> 00:28:53,673
and in the finale?
531
00:28:53,709 --> 00:28:57,377
Remember, he needs three
of your votes to do so.
532
00:28:57,446 --> 00:29:00,480
Judges, it's time
for your votes. Grimes?
533
00:29:00,516 --> 00:29:02,983
Like, when you first,
like, came here, I was like,
"oh, I don't know.
534
00:29:03,018 --> 00:29:05,452
I don't know about
this old school kind of thing."
535
00:29:05,487 --> 00:29:07,187
and then you've sort of been
slowly winning me over,
536
00:29:07,222 --> 00:29:10,056
and I feel like that
was your best performance.
537
00:29:10,092 --> 00:29:14,127
But at this point right now
in the competition,
538
00:29:14,196 --> 00:29:18,298
I'm looking more for
who am I attaching
to the most?
539
00:29:18,300 --> 00:29:21,635
And I feel like I'm already
an actual fan of dipper.
540
00:29:21,670 --> 00:29:25,505
So I'm gonna keep dipper
on the diamond.
541
00:29:25,541 --> 00:29:29,176
So that is one vote
for dipper scott
to stay on the diamond.
542
00:29:29,211 --> 00:29:32,312
Orlando deville,
you need three votes
to get on the diamond,
543
00:29:32,347 --> 00:29:34,481
and that is one vote
for dipper scott.
544
00:29:34,516 --> 00:29:37,150
One more vote for dipper
will keep him on the diamond
545
00:29:37,186 --> 00:29:40,153
and put you at risk
of going home tonight. Nick?
546
00:29:40,189 --> 00:29:42,823
Yeah, I thought,
orlando, your performance
was really strong tonight.
547
00:29:42,825 --> 00:29:45,625
I thought continued
to show growth on your part.
548
00:29:45,661 --> 00:29:46,827
When I think of
next generation superstar
549
00:29:46,829 --> 00:29:48,662
and I think of what
that means to me
550
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:51,131
in terms of being
the entire package
551
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,667
of this combination
of artistry
552
00:29:53,669 --> 00:29:55,969
and technology and talent,
553
00:29:56,038 --> 00:30:01,107
for me, there's just
some superstar quality
554
00:30:01,143 --> 00:30:04,177
about dipper scott.
555
00:30:04,246 --> 00:30:08,248
And so I will also vote
to keep dipper on that diamond.
556
00:30:09,952 --> 00:30:14,387
Dipper scott is officially
going to the finale.
557
00:30:16,658 --> 00:30:18,992
Orlando deville,
that means that you
558
00:30:18,994 --> 00:30:21,528
may be leaving
the competition tonight.
559
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,002
Three alter egos remain
in the running for one spot
in the finale.
560
00:30:29,037 --> 00:30:31,304
Who will it be
and who will go home?
561
00:30:31,340 --> 00:30:34,875
We'll find out after the break.
More "alter ego" after this.
562
00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:47,587
First elimination
of the night coming up.
563
00:30:47,656 --> 00:30:49,956
Everyone to their marks.
564
00:30:49,992 --> 00:30:52,692
Going to rocsi
in three, two, one.
565
00:30:54,363 --> 00:30:56,329
This is "alter ego."
I'm rocsi diaz.
566
00:30:56,365 --> 00:30:59,165
Three alter egos remain
in the running
567
00:30:59,201 --> 00:31:01,668
for one spot in the finale.
568
00:31:01,670 --> 00:31:03,703
Let's welcome orlando deville,
569
00:31:03,705 --> 00:31:06,506
seven, and safara
back to the stage.
570
00:31:13,148 --> 00:31:17,584
I will now ask
the audience to vote
for their favorite alter ego.
571
00:31:17,619 --> 00:31:22,923
And the alter ego
that receives the fewest number
of audience votes
572
00:31:22,958 --> 00:31:25,191
will have to
say goodbye tonight.
573
00:31:27,763 --> 00:31:29,863
I'm gonna have ptsd
from this show.
574
00:31:35,070 --> 00:31:36,603
I can now confirm
575
00:31:36,638 --> 00:31:41,274
that the alter ego who received
the fewest audience votes,
576
00:31:41,276 --> 00:31:45,111
becoming the first alter ego
to leave us tonight is...
577
00:32:01,563 --> 00:32:02,829
Safara.
578
00:32:02,864 --> 00:32:04,831
What?
579
00:32:04,866 --> 00:32:06,633
What?
580
00:32:06,668 --> 00:32:09,502
( crowd gasping, groaning )
581
00:32:09,504 --> 00:32:10,971
- man: Don't let her go!
- Woman: Safara!
582
00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:14,274
- What? What?
- Rocsi: Safara,
this is the end
583
00:32:14,309 --> 00:32:18,111
of your journey with us here
on "alter ego."
584
00:32:18,113 --> 00:32:22,082
orlando deville and seven,
you are safe for now.
585
00:32:22,117 --> 00:32:24,484
The judges will decide your fate
later tonight.
586
00:32:26,955 --> 00:32:32,192
Safara, it's been such
a pleasure having you here,
587
00:32:32,227 --> 00:32:35,829
and we'd love if you would
perform for us one last time
588
00:32:35,864 --> 00:32:39,399
and reveal your true identity
to the judges.
589
00:32:39,434 --> 00:32:40,967
All righty, let's do it.
590
00:32:41,003 --> 00:32:44,137
( laughs, sniffles )
591
00:32:44,206 --> 00:32:46,940
make it loud one last time
for safara.
592
00:32:49,478 --> 00:32:52,479
Grimes: I feel like that's
the most we've seen from her.
593
00:32:52,481 --> 00:32:54,280
She's been very shy
in the talking.
594
00:32:54,316 --> 00:32:56,783
Yeah, she was shy before.
595
00:32:56,852 --> 00:32:59,319
Alanis: Any nerves
that may have been there
seem to have disappeared.
596
00:32:59,321 --> 00:33:00,954
Will:
Definitely no nerves there.

thank you.

00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,915
Judges, this is safara,
aka mariah.
613
00:34:35,951 --> 00:34:36,950
Ow!
614
00:34:39,754 --> 00:34:43,223
What do you learn from safara?
615
00:34:43,258 --> 00:34:46,459
I learned to be
confident in myself
616
00:34:46,528 --> 00:34:49,162
and to love myself--
617
00:34:49,197 --> 00:34:52,665
man, no matter what
anybody has said about me.
618
00:34:52,701 --> 00:34:53,700
( sobs )
619
00:34:56,505 --> 00:34:58,304
alanis?
620
00:34:58,340 --> 00:35:01,074
- I'm just so excited
for you, yeah.
- Aw, thank you.
621
00:35:01,109 --> 00:35:04,310
I just get really excited,
because when those
voices in our head
622
00:35:04,346 --> 00:35:07,614
that sabotage us
and hold us back step aside,
623
00:35:07,682 --> 00:35:12,619
then the real mariah emerges,
and I am so excited for her.
624
00:35:12,654 --> 00:35:15,622
And that voice inside your head,
what I would say to it is,
625
00:35:15,657 --> 00:35:18,458
"thanks for trying
to help her and protect her,
but it's not helping."
626
00:35:18,493 --> 00:35:22,128
yeah. Thank you.
Yeah.
627
00:35:22,197 --> 00:35:24,497
- You have a beautiful voice.
- Thank you.
628
00:35:24,533 --> 00:35:26,833
Will: A beautiful aura.
Like, when I said like,
629
00:35:26,868 --> 00:35:29,135
"for some reason,
you make me feel like
630
00:35:29,171 --> 00:35:31,971
my sister that I wanna protect,"
I really meant that.
631
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,341
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Thank you so much.
632
00:35:36,778 --> 00:35:39,112
Honestly, like,
yeah, you've been amazing,
633
00:35:39,147 --> 00:35:41,481
and I think you should be
really proud that you made it
this far in the show.
634
00:35:41,516 --> 00:35:43,783
- Thank you.
- Everyone got to hear you
sing and stuff, so...
635
00:35:43,818 --> 00:35:48,588
Thank you. I am. I am.
And I got confidence back.
I got my happiness back.
636
00:35:48,623 --> 00:35:51,624
And that's inval--
I mean, there's no money
637
00:35:51,660 --> 00:35:53,059
in the world that can buy that.
638
00:35:53,128 --> 00:35:55,795
Couldn't have said it better.
Absolutely true.
639
00:35:55,830 --> 00:35:58,464
- Thank you so much
for being here.
- Thank you.
640
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:01,668
Orlando deville and seven
remain in the competition.
641
00:36:01,703 --> 00:36:05,505
We only have room for one more
alter ego in the finale.
642
00:36:05,540 --> 00:36:07,674
Who will it be,
and who will go home?
643
00:36:07,709 --> 00:36:10,944
We'll find out after the break.
More "alter ego" after this.
644
00:36:10,979 --> 00:36:14,981
Last semi-final
elimination coming up.
Places everyone.
645
00:36:19,187 --> 00:36:21,421
Here we go.
Coming out of commercial.
Here we go.
646
00:36:21,456 --> 00:36:25,091
- ( trilling )
- here we go in five seconds.
647
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,192
Big applause.
648
00:36:32,601 --> 00:36:34,133
Welcome back to "alter ego."
649
00:36:34,202 --> 00:36:35,935
it's the end of our semi-final,
650
00:36:35,971 --> 00:36:39,906
and now only two alter egos
are left standing,
651
00:36:39,941 --> 00:36:42,742
orlando deville and seven.
652
00:36:42,777 --> 00:36:45,678
We're about to find out
which alter ego will be taking
653
00:36:45,747 --> 00:36:48,281
the very last spot
in the finale.
654
00:36:48,316 --> 00:36:51,117
Judges, it's time
for your votes.
655
00:36:51,152 --> 00:36:54,687
The alter ego
who gets the most votes
will head to the finale.
656
00:36:57,025 --> 00:36:58,791
- Seven! Seven!
- Orlando! Orlando!
657
00:36:58,827 --> 00:37:01,294
Nick, which one
of these alter egos
658
00:37:01,329 --> 00:37:04,097
is the next generation
superstar?
659
00:37:04,099 --> 00:37:06,833
The tricky part for me in this
660
00:37:06,868 --> 00:37:09,669
is that while both of you
did such an outstanding job,
661
00:37:09,704 --> 00:37:12,972
you're also both
very different performers.
662
00:37:13,008 --> 00:37:15,141
But I keep coming back
to the phrase you used--
663
00:37:15,143 --> 00:37:18,311
next generation superstar.
664
00:37:18,346 --> 00:37:21,481
And when I think about
all the ingredients
that we've talked about
665
00:37:21,516 --> 00:37:24,217
that make up that
next generation superstar,
666
00:37:24,252 --> 00:37:26,452
I just feel like--
667
00:37:26,521 --> 00:37:30,156
I feel like seven
is more poised
668
00:37:30,191 --> 00:37:31,758
to step into that role.
669
00:37:31,793 --> 00:37:36,829
So, I vote to send seven
onto the finals.
670
00:37:36,865 --> 00:37:40,633
- Rocsi: Alanis?
- Orlando, you really
brought it, and...
671
00:37:45,907 --> 00:37:49,942
Yeah, it's style of music
that I don't always listen to,
but I always appreciate,
672
00:37:49,978 --> 00:37:51,644
and I just feel
like you stepped into it
673
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,315
and have zero ambivalence
about being that performer.
674
00:37:55,317 --> 00:37:57,317
And, seven, I still feel
675
00:37:57,352 --> 00:37:58,918
very compelled by
your performance
676
00:37:58,953 --> 00:38:01,621
and by who you are
as an alter ego,
677
00:38:01,623 --> 00:38:02,622
and I wanna know more.
678
00:38:02,657 --> 00:38:04,290
And that counts
for a lot for me,
679
00:38:04,326 --> 00:38:07,260
so I'm going to choose seven.
680
00:38:09,264 --> 00:38:13,499
That is two votes for seven
to move on to the finale.
681
00:38:13,501 --> 00:38:16,569
They only need one more vote.
682
00:38:16,604 --> 00:38:18,404
Will?
683
00:38:18,473 --> 00:38:20,940
Orlando, when somebody
has the ability
684
00:38:20,975 --> 00:38:25,611
to transfix audiences to come,
to go on tour,
685
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,315
inspire people to want
to buy merchandise,
that's magic.
686
00:38:29,351 --> 00:38:30,783
And you have that.
687
00:38:30,819 --> 00:38:35,154
But I have to go with what makes
my heart feel a certain way.
688
00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:37,056
The complete package was there,
689
00:38:37,092 --> 00:38:40,660
and so I'm gonna vote
to send seven to the finale.
690
00:38:45,033 --> 00:38:47,133
That is three votes for seven.
691
00:38:47,202 --> 00:38:49,669
Seven, you will be
moving on to the finale.
692
00:38:53,875 --> 00:38:56,676
We will see you there.
Congrats.
693
00:38:56,711 --> 00:39:00,947
Ugh! Orlando deville,
I am so sorry.
694
00:39:00,982 --> 00:39:05,551
But we would love for you
to perform one last time
695
00:39:05,587 --> 00:39:07,820
and reveal your true identity
696
00:39:07,822 --> 00:39:10,056
by coming on out here
and meeting the judges.
697
00:39:10,091 --> 00:39:12,992
- How about that?
- Sounds like a plan.
Let's make it happen.
698

- Man, chase.
- Good to meet you, chase.
722
00:40:53,995 --> 00:40:55,361
Good to meet you too, mr. Nick.
723
00:40:55,396 --> 00:40:57,797
Look, it was obvious
as orlando deville.
724
00:40:57,832 --> 00:41:02,068
It was just obvious as chase
that you just love to entertain.
725
00:41:02,070 --> 00:41:06,138
Like, you have a gift.
- That is the truth.An?
726
00:41:06,174 --> 00:41:09,442
Chase, what originally
brought you to "alter ego?"
727
00:41:09,511 --> 00:41:11,644
well, for my whole my life
I've been told
728
00:41:11,679 --> 00:41:13,779
I had this voice
made for the stage
729
00:41:13,848 --> 00:41:16,749
but a face made for it, and--
730
00:41:16,751 --> 00:41:17,884
oh, my god.
731
00:41:17,919 --> 00:41:21,187
It's funny 'cause it's true.
732
00:41:22,557 --> 00:41:24,657
He's a hottie.
I don't know what
anybody's talking about.
733
00:41:27,328 --> 00:41:30,496
- I always loved the nerds.
I'm always team nerd.
- Chase: No, I'll take it.
734
00:41:30,565 --> 00:41:33,666
You and me,
we speak binary code.
I get it.
735
00:41:33,701 --> 00:41:35,701
- Yeah.
- Yep.
736
00:41:35,770 --> 00:41:38,471
You know that saying
don't judge a book
by its cover?
737
00:41:38,473 --> 00:41:40,573
You put a whole new
definition to that.
738
00:41:40,642 --> 00:41:42,808
You're not supposed
to judge the bowl
739
00:41:42,844 --> 00:41:44,477
because you don't which bowl
got the soul,
740
00:41:44,479 --> 00:41:46,112
- and you got a lot
of soul, bro.
- That's right.
741
00:41:46,147 --> 00:41:48,147
Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
742
00:41:50,685 --> 00:41:52,118
Is there anything
that you would like to say
743
00:41:52,153 --> 00:41:53,486
to orlando deville
before you go?
744
00:41:53,521 --> 00:41:55,488
Mr. Deville,
745
00:41:55,523 --> 00:41:58,324
- I will take it from here.
- Oh!
746
00:41:59,527 --> 00:42:00,826
- I like that!
- Hell yeah.
747
00:42:00,862 --> 00:42:03,462
- I like that a lot.
- Chase!
748
00:42:03,464 --> 00:42:07,066
Everyone, big round
of applause for chase,
one last time.
749
00:42:08,336 --> 00:42:10,503
What an awesome night.
750
00:42:10,505 --> 00:42:12,672
It never gets any easier
saying goodbye
751
00:42:12,707 --> 00:42:14,907
to these incredibly
talented alter egos.
752
00:42:14,909 --> 00:42:16,442
Make sure you tune in
next week,
753
00:42:16,477 --> 00:42:19,145
where we crown
the winner of "alter ego."
754
00:42:20,648 --> 00:42:22,114
good night.
755
00:42:23,151 --> 00:42:24,550
I did not see that coming.
756
00:42:27,555 --> 00:42:30,456
Rocsi: The semi-finals
have come to an end.
757
00:42:30,525 --> 00:42:34,460
The four finalists
have one last performance
to impress the judges.
758
00:42:34,529 --> 00:42:36,228
Let's get it started.
759
00:42:36,264 --> 00:42:38,431
♪ rise up,
like a phoenix out the fire ♪
760
00:42:38,466 --> 00:42:41,634
that was as close
to perfection as I've seen
this entire season.
761
00:42:41,669 --> 00:42:43,269
What the what?
762
00:42:43,304 --> 00:42:46,872
The final identities
will be revealed.
763
00:42:46,874 --> 00:42:49,508
Who will be crowned
the winner of "alter ego?"
764
00:42:49,510 --> 00:42:51,110
the winner is...
765
00:42:51,145 --> 00:42:52,945
...And become
the first digital superstar
766
00:42:53,014 --> 00:42:55,014
of our next generation?
767
00:42:55,049 --> 00:42:58,084
I'm just really proud of you,
and I'm not your mom.
