-Andi leaves the stage.-

Robert: So, next is Lyla. Lyla´s great, you never met her before. She´s one of our strongest contenders. But, what happened this week is that she couldn´t be theatrical, she lacked of energy, and, specially uniqueness this week.

Lyla. Hi! I´m Lyla Rowen, and I´ll be singing Songbird, by Fleetwood Mac.

.-The judges clap.-

Ryan: Well, Lyla, I never met you before.

Lyla: No! Hi Ryan!

Ryan: Hi! Well, I think you did great on the performance, but, I´m having trouble seeing you on glee. I don´t know which character you could be, well, in fact, I can see one, but I still think it would be hard to see you on glee. We need new stuff.

Lyla: I would be this crazy bisexual girl, that would be part of the cheerios, very popular, and would join glee club.

Ryan: I can see that. Well, you can go now.

-Lyla leaves the stage.-

Robert; So, next is Taylen. Taylen´s this crazy spit fire all the time, but she seemed as she was forcing herself all week long, and it didn´t seem real. Today, we want to see her other, vulnerable side.-

-Taylen enters the stage.-

Taylen: Hello. I´m the lovely Taylen Renee Parker, and I´ll be singing Mine, by Taylor Swift.

Mine-Taylen

Taylen: <span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">You were in college, workin’ part time, waitin’ tables

<span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">Left a small town, never looked back <span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">I was a flight risk, with a fear of fallin’ <span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">Wonderin’ why we bother with love if it never lasts

<span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">I say, “Can you believe it?” <span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">As we’re lyin’ on the couch <span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">The moment I could see it <span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">Yes, yes, I can see it now

<span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">You remember, we were sittin’ there, by the water <span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">You put your arm around me for the first time <span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter <span style="font-family:arial,tahoma,verdana;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:-webkit-center;">You are the best thing that’s ever been mine

-The judges clap.-

Ryan: Very good, Taylen. I really could see other side of you tonight. What were you thinking of?

Taylen; Well, mostly, my sister Carmen, the one that made me be this way.

Ryan: I see. What I like about you is that you´re definitely a fighter, I mean you don´t stop. You´re a spitfire, and I want to see that spitfire on glee. The only thing that happens is that you may turn out as unlikeable, and it may get difficult to work with you.

Taylen: Ryan, I promise you I won´t stop till I get that spot on glee. And I promise you can work with me.

Ryan: Okay. You can go.

-Taylen leaves the stage.-

Ryan: So, let´s beggin. Andi. I really think Andi could be a great addition to the show. She is a character. But, I don´t know if she can keep it up on the competition.

-Camera flashes to waiting room.-

Andi; Ryan said he liked me, as a character. But I feel he´s already done with me.

-Camera flashes to auditorium.-

Ryan: Lyla. I think she´s great. But I don´t know if she can fit into glee. We need new stuff. Maybe it isn´t her time right now.

-Camera flashes to waiting room.-

Lyla: Ryan liked me. But he still doesn´t know if I could be good addition to the show. I hope he gets me.

-Camera flashes to auditorium.-

Ryan: And Taylen. Taylen could really show us her vulnerable side tonight, and I think she´s a spitfire and she would do anything to be on glee. I like her, but still, she turns unlikeable, and it will be diffivult working with her.

-Camera flashes to waiting room.-

Taylen: Ryan said he loves my spitfire. He really likes me. Sorry guys, but one of you is going home. Not me.

- Camera flashes to auditorium.-

Ryan: So, I think we made our decision.

Robert: Sadly.

- Waiting room.-

-Robert walks in.-

Robert: Hey guys, Unfortunatelt, the list is up, so, go take a look.

-Robert exits the room.-

-The contenders hug Andi, Lyla and Taylen, and they leave the room.-

Confession cam, Andi: It´s my fith time performing for Ryan, I hope he keeps on with this character he sees on me, I´m not going home.

-Lyla walks down the hallway.-

Confession cam, Lyla: I hope Ryan sees me on Glee. I gave my best. I´m ready to give much more.

-Taylen walks down the hallway.-

Confession cam, Taylen: I just know I´m not going home now. I know Ryan likes me, and I won´t give up until I win this competition.

-Andi looks at the list.-

-Lyla looks at the list.-

-Taylen looks at the list.-

-Andi smiles and covers her mouth.-
