The music continues to play and this time a screen rises from the ceiling that shows 'Live Show #3' Damion Holmes then appears at the top of the stage positioned on the stage, he waves and begins walks down the steps and to center stage his tuxedo on. A smile on his face. When he finds his way to center stage he brings the mic to his mouth

Welcome to STARFACTORY LIVE SHOW #2!!!!!!!


After the crowd pops in cheer, he runs his hands through his hands

"Live SHHOOOOOOOOOW #3, last week we had our FIRST EVER..tied up bottom lineage, who will be eliminated?"


UserPostedImage


"BUT, this won't be able to happen without the amazing judges/mentor, each special in their own way"


Automatically, a spot in the audience, above the fans are, a spotlight is shown with seats all placed next to each other, unable to see who is behind them.

"The first mentor, is known for his slick attitude, and the musical talent he holds, seemingly shooting to the top of the musical charts at such a young age, and having the creativity of someone in the business that's twice his age, everyone, HAYDEN MERJOS!


Hayden's seat turns around and the crowd starts cheering


"The next mentor, she has become one of the most creative and recognized female's in recent history, with many calling her a hero of music. Her last album 'Waking Up' became one of the best selling of 2011, and if it's not her beautiful voice that shows us she's a wonderful artist, then maybe you should hear her play the piano....everyone, ALICIA LENA!


Alicia's seat then turns around, the crowd also cheers


"The next mentor, has become one of the most successful young stars of our time. Her album The Voice Of Me has broken records, and her sophomore album "Exiled" showed us that debut's don't always write out a stars career as the album has become one of the most respected albums in years, with platinum plaques under her name that stars twice her age don't get and a voice to die for, give it up for MICHELLE GREEN!"


Michelle's seat, also turns around, cheering continues



"Our next mentor, has become one of the most recognized and successful females of our time. After her sophomore effort, 'Halfway There' made her one of the most notable singers in recent history, with the album becoming the longest running album of 2010 and pushing out 3 #1's, its not all about the sales however when it comes to this artist, she also possesses creative excellence in her music and with millions of records sold in her twenties, this female looks to only be going stronger, EVERYONE, BRITTANY KNOX!"



Brittany's seat turns around, and the crowd cheers


"And last but not least, this man knows what success is. Being the powerhouse behind legendary label, Chaos Records, or being the leading mean of Blood of Wecz, this man knows what success, money, and monopoly is. With respect in the industry and money at his fingers...everyone, SCOTT R.H!!!!"


Scott chair then turns around, after, a spotlight goes on Damion Holmes





"This week we will be highlighting the incomparable, legendary, iconic and beautiful ...Ms Stephanie Fierce! The challenge this week was to see whether or not the contestants can pull off the track from the very versatile Miss Fierce and how well they can cover the track they are performing. Will someone crack under pressure? Will everyone shine? Who will be eliminated tonight? Without any further or due, this contestant is going up against Ashley Grimmie tonight in a sudden death clause with the judges at the end of the show....please GIVE IT UP FOR..... THE DEVIL YOUUUUU KNOOOOOOOOW!!!!"

THE DEVIL YOU KNOW || GREY GHOST MUSIC CENTER

UserPostedImage

The Devil You Know take the stage, without a video of their week of practicing taking place, Matthew heads to his microphone.

“Tonight, we’re in the Bottom Lineage America, we are The Devil You Know.” A few rolling cheers can be heard. Matthew smirks, “If tonight will be our last night with you guys, with the contestants, I gotta say...I...no we’ll leave happy. We’ll have lost to a really nice girl, we’ll have met a few great people and connections, as well as gotten to play for some great people. So, thanks for tuning in and checking us out, week after week, and we hope you’ll want to see us more after this.”

He picks up the microphone from the stand, and places it on a detachable one on his keyboard set, today he is without his guitar. He stands, and begins to play...a long haunting set of keys that give off a dark ambient sound. “Today...we will be playing ‘In Love Alone’, Stephanie Fierce.” The lights dim down as Matthew begins, and the entire band quiets down aside from the sounds.


"Are you here with me”

He whispers into his microphone, behind him Vincent begins a slow bass riff, distinctive and crawling similar to the ambient sounds behind him. Matthew head-bangs for a few moment, completely out of character for the song.

Drumming enters, heavy on cymbals as Matthew begins to play the keyboard, the sounds seemingly twisitng around the drumming as guitar strums enter as well. Behind the band, the big screen lights up, showing baby pictures of the group as the ambience fades and Matthew walks about the stage as the band explodes into action.

Bass, drumming and guitar combining to create a psychadelic fast-paced sound that tunes in out of high and low pitch, before slowing down as a now sweaty Matthew paces around stage. The baby pictures once on the screen now turn into pictures of the band playing at shows in Florida, as Matthew stretches his arms out spread eagle and begins to sing:

You really had me going/but left me empty handed
In need of it/I'm screaming with confidence I swear
Out this coffin you put me in/With one eye open, as my intuition ends
It seemed like I was in love/In love with with the air
Freely, but waiting for the rush to begin/In reality............


As Matthew dances about the stage, the rest of the band stay focused on playing, as it slows down a bit.

Matthew shakes his hair side to side as he places a hand on his knee, “Thank you Star-Factory, lets take this back to the *bleep*ing Roman times! If we’re going out, we’re going out how we came here, partying and mildly intoxicated.” He says, his face red with sweat, his brow furrowed and his eyes slightly out of focus from the alcohol prior to the performance, as he curls his body up while standing, singing the final lines:

You had the floor above my head/and I was falling effortlessly
Viewing the picture all alone/In a cold mountain top
How nice could that possibly be?/Not knowing or receiving anything
And it feels like I’m In Love alone..../what an irritation
This loneliness brings Irritation/And it feels like……
In Love Alone, giving my everything/and I still look for your love I confess
But it’s nowhere to be found


He coughs as the song finishes to an array of cheers. “Thank you Star-Factory!”

Hayden: I thought this was an excellent performance by you guys! I love the rock edge you gave to this ambient sounding song, very impressive. I hope you guys come out on top of the bottom because I see big plans for you guys, you're different and catch everyone's attention, good luck guys. (He grins)

Brittany: One of my favorite Stephanie Fierce songs ever.....and I think you guys did a good job of covering it. I know it's hard being up there in a bottom lineage and I'm afraid for tonight where I actually have to choose between you and Ashley. I mean, this performance was good but there was nothing else I could really say. There's was nothing bad about it, and there was nothing special about it. It was just, a good performance. And that may, or may not work in your favor tonight depending on what the other judges think. Either way I think guy guys are a special band and I wish you luck tonight.

Alicia: Another really good performance from you guys and you definitely don't deserve to be in the bottom lineage, I think this week was gonna be a slightly more difficult test for you but you've managed to make the song work well for youselves, once again your uniqueness is clear for everybody to see and you should be in this competition for a long time.

Scott: How these guys ended up in the bottom is beyond me. You have got up there every week, and you have shown that you guys have the talent, and the skill, to be who you are, and not to be dictated to by anyone else. I think you are doing it for the guitar based bands out there who can't get a break, and this performance was great. I sincerely hope you guys are still here after tonight.

After completing her performance for the night, Aubrey walked backstage heading in the direction of her dressing room when she stopped dead in her tracks. Across the room, she could see the woman that annoyed her so much each time she interviewed her. Noticing the woman had yet to see her, she thought up a plan of how she could get by her without being spotted. As she was thinking, a few stage crew guys walked pass her carrying a long banner in the direction she needed to go. Aubrey quickly ran over, walking beside them and peaking time and time to see if the woman had not noticed. Just as she was almost down the hallway, where her dressing room was, the two guys turned around, after being called over by someone, completely leaving her there to be exposed. She tried to dodge around the corner but it was too late, all the commotion had turned the head of the woman. Seeing Aubrey, she called after her from where she had been standing. "Yoo hoo, Aubrey!" she said in a high pitched voice. Aubrey mumbled a "damn it!" causing a few heads to turn her way. She turned around just as the woman was walking up to her. "What do you want?" The woman chuckled hysterically as she playfully patted Aubrey on the arm. "Oh Aubrey, you are quite a riot. I love that feisty attitude of yours. Not liking that she was being touched, Aubrey removed the woman's hand from her arm. "Bye." She turned to walk away, causing the woman to stop laughing and call after her. "No no wait. Its my turn to interview you. I'll make this quick since I know you are a busy woman." Aubrey sighed and turned around to face the woman yet again. Seeing that she came back, the woman smiled and began her interview. "All of the judges had nice things to say about you tonight, including Hayden. Were you pleased with their comments and how do you feel you did with your performance as well? She held the microphone out to her and this time Aubrey managed to stop grab it from her, as she just wanted to hurry and get this over with. Plus her performance she had just did made her tired, not to mention she hadn't gotten any sleep the previous night. Seeing the camera guy focus his camera on her, she flipped her hair as she spoke.

Quote:
Aubrey: I would say that I am very pleased with their positive comments because I know I did an amazing job. My performance tonight was probably one of my top performances, though I love them all. Things couldn't have gone any better if I did it with my eyes close. My band and back up singers did an exceptional job as well and for once I'm proud of them. They have all finally lived up to my standards as performers. If I had to do this all again,I wouldn't change a thing. I certainly worked up a good sweat and I'm tired so to me that just means that I put on an excellent show. Tonight I will be taking out my crew for a celebration because they've proven themselves worthy of being along side me.


The woman grins and holds the mic back up to her lips to speak. "Ah well have a great time tonight. You certainly deserve it. Thank you Aubrey for another great interview. I wish you the best as you prepare for next week's show." Aubrey forces a smile before nodding and walking away. Now back in her dressing room, she slumps down onto her sofa, putting her hand over her forehead and eyes, in an attempt to relax. Her relaxation is interrupted however, when someone comes knocking out the door. Frustrated with all the interruptions, she yells for them to go away. As the knocking stops, she is pleased that they have left but the feeling goes away when she hears knocking once more. Getting angry, Aubrey gets up and walks over to the door to open it. "What!" she says loudly. A nervous, apologetic woman with a surprised look on her face, stands before Aubrey. "Sorry Miss Mikkel for disturbing you. I-I just came to bring you the bottled tea you wanted after your show." The girl, who was looking down at her feet, held up the bottle of tea to Aubrey. "Okay." said Aubrey. She grabbed the tea before going to close the door but stopped when she heard the girl speak again. "Oh wait! I've also came to tell you that your limo is all ready to go." Aubrey untwisted the cap on the bottle and held it up before taking a little sip. ”Good. I'll be ready to go soon.” The girl nodded and walked away as Aubrey closed the door all the way this time. She drink the tea as she begin gathering her things to get ready to leave. A few moments later, when Aubrey was all ready to go, a knock was heard at the door again. Grabbing her things, she went over to open it to see her assistant standing in front of her. ”Right on time. Carry these.” Aubrey handed her things over to her assistant as she walked pass her out the door. Taking the last sip of tea as she walked to the car, she tossed the bottle onto the ground, not caring that she was littering. As she approached the limo, the driver opened the door and Aubrey got inside. Her assistant handed the bags over to him to put in the trunk before she peaked her head in to speak to Aubrey. ”Remember Aubrey, you have a early start tomorrow. Your mentor wants to meet right away with you and right after that you have a photo shoot. Please don't stay out too late tonight and absolutely do not be late this time.” Aubrey, who was filing her nails now, looked up. ”Not promising a thing. Now close the door.” Her assistant sighed then closed the door as she didn't want to argue today since it never did any good. Trying to get Aubrey to do something is just like telling a wall to move, it's just not happening. When the driver finished putting the bags away in the trunk, he came back around to the driver's side, getting in and then driving off. He headed towards the direction of Aubrey's place, as he knew she always liked to freshen up before going out on the town. Once they arrived at her condo, the driver got out and walked around the car to Aubrey's side to let her out. After she stepped out, he closed the door and went to the trunk to grab her things. Aubrey walked up to her place with the driver following a few steps behind her, getting her keys out to open the door then stepping inside. Her driver set her bags down on a table, as he knew better than to set them down on the floor, before turning to face her. “I'll be waiting out in the car madam.” Aubrey nodded and shooed him off as she gathered her things to go freshen up. An hour later, she was all set to go and made her way out to her limo. The driver, who was leaning up against the car half asleep, straightened up as he heard footsteps approaching. He opened the door and Aubrey got inside before he closed it again. It went over to his side and got in, starting up the car and heading towards the nightclub where Aubrey would be meeting her crew for a night of celebration. He pulled up in front of the entrance awhile later, getting out to let Aubrey out of the car. She pulled her dress down at the bottom, smoothing it out when she stepped out. ”It'll be a late night so go home and get some rest. I will call you a little bit before I am to go home.” She walked off and he yelled a “Yes madam” after her. Aubrey made her way into the club without having to address the bouncers as they already knew who she was. The sound of music, flashing lights, and people dancing, suddenly put Aubrey in a good mood. As she continued to look around the club, she finally noticed her crew towards a section off by themselves. With smiles on their faces, they seemed to be having a great time with one another. Aubrey went over, preparing herself for what would be a long night ahead of her.

Aubrey paced herself back and forth throughout her dressing room, practicing her scales, shaping her mouth to the different sounds. ”ooh, ee, a, aah.” As she continued to practice, her make up stylist stood in front of the door frame, managing a few knocks on the door to let her know she was there. She turned around, nodding to her to come in before sitting down in the chair. She finished up the vocal exercise and remained still while her make up was being done. Her assistant walked in a minute later to tell her the time. ”Ten minutes until you're on Aubrey.” Aubrey yawned, as she was tired from all the events she had to do this week up until now, before letting out an “Okay.” She nodded before proceeding out the door, letting Aubrey have her peace. After awhile, her make up was finished and she got up, checking how it looked and then setting out towards the waiting area. By now, she was getting sick of this routine and therefore decided to do things her way. She looked around for the woman that usually interviewed her, spotting her, she went over. ”I'm ready so lets get this over with.” The woman chuckled a bit. ”As you wish. This week all contestants were asked to cover a Stephanie Fierce song. Which song did you manage to choose and why? Also are you at all nervous about tonight as Stephanie Fierce will be one of the judges judging your performance tonight?” She held the microphone out to her as she begin to speak.

Quote:
Aubrey: The song I have chosen is none other than, “Hunter (Bring On The Acid Rain).” I've chose it because it has a soul, tribal and rock feel to it and I wanted to show that I am not just a R&B girl but that I can do other genres as well. To me, this song really works well for me because its very sassy and fierce, just as both Stephanie and I are. As far as the being nervous part goes, I certainly won't be nervous. I love the idea that Stephanie will be here but her presence doesn't bother me. I will still put on a great show just as I always do and she will enjoy it because a woman of her talents respects and recognizes true talent. I always aim to prove and this week will be no different.


The woman smiles before speaking. ”Thank you for your time. (She looks at the camera) Catch Aubrey's performance next as she is just moments away from going on.” She continues to smile until the camera guy yells “cut” and then she turns to Aubrey. “Good luck out there.” Aubrey smiles slightly before walking off to the lift that she would be making her entrance onto the stage. As her name was being announced, the lights dim down around the building and lights are flashing nonstop. The lift, that Aubrey is standing on, begins to raise while a picture of Stephanie fierce's single cover to “Hunter (Bring On The Acid Rain) shows up on the big screen that is located on stage behind Aubrey and her band.

UserPostedImage

Once she is up on stage, the lights stop flashing and the stage is lit up to reveal Aubrey on stage with her back against the audience. With her free hand, she holds her hand off to the side, snapping her fingers to the beat of the music in unison with her back up singers, who are located off to the side of her. The music begins and she turns around to sing the song.

UserPostedImage

They call me wild child, I call them prey.
Cause the sound my heart makes scares them away
Moving mountains, I'm out of my mind
Is this the reason why love is so difficult to find


As the chorus approaches, Aubrey walks across the stage, pointing to a male fan in the front of the stage. She comes over to stand in front of him, bending down a little to grab his chain, that is located around his neck, pulling it out in her direction while she's dancing and singing the words of the chorus to him. In an attempt to gain her attention as well, other fans nearby, jealous of the attention he's getting, reach for her, grabbing at her legs and hands. Seeing what's happening, she grins and reaches to shake some of their hands before walking away.

I'm a hunter
I'm looking for the love
I'm a hunter
I get curious for the blood
I'm a hunter
I can smell the blood (x2), I can smell my love


Aubrey walks over to the center of the stage, standing back where she had been standing when she first came out, feet apart. She sings the next verse, getting more into the song then she had before. She wanted to make sure that she owned the song, not for the judges but for her. Even though the song was not that of her own, she always made sure to do any song she sung justice out of respect for whom it belonged to.

Somewhere in this jungle my prey awaits
better hurry, a storm heads my way
But nothing stops me, not even acid rain

Cause, I'm a hunter
I'm looking for the love
I'm a hunter
The end of my sphere is filled with blood
I'm a hunter
I can smell the blood (x2), I can smell my..


While Aubrey sings the last parts of the song, she took a sneak peak over at the judges. Trying to read their faces as she did her performance. She was a bit curious to get some sort of clarity as to how they felt about it, especially Stephanie Fierce herself. Though she was not concerned, as she knew she was doing great, she still wanted her to think the same since she was one of the few that she liked as an artist.

UserPostedImage

haters talk, they pollute the air
On the mission so I don't care
The search is fierce
Baby, the storm is near

So bring on the acid rain
I said bring on the acid rain (hey)
Bring on the acid rain
I said Bring on the acid rain (hey)


[size=4]After Aubrey is done singing, she stands there with her feet apart and her hands outward. The audience begins cheering loudly for her, most of the room standing on their feet, clapping their hands together almost in unison and chanting her name. Aubrey looks on each person's face in the audience as she is pleased with their their respect for real talent. She felt that she had done well and had chosen the right song that was best for us. Now she just had to see what the judges had to say about how well she had done. Once the cheers died down and people begin sitting down in their seats, she relaxes her body before looking over to the judges as they begin deliberating about her performance for this week's challenge.

Brittany stands up and claps

Brittany: WOW! Absolutely stunning, absolutely amazing. You are truly a star Aubrey and I say this week in, week out. You bring something to the table to the table and this week you took a Stephanie Fierce song and made it your own! Consistency should be your new name because not once have you let me down on a performance. This week, might actually be your best, the vocals were brilliant, the choreography and most of all the attitude, which makes you. Keep up the great work because it looks like you'll be here for a long time. Excellent performance Aubrey.

Alicia: Another incredible performance, I think this weeks theme was perfect for you and again you showed your confidence and ability not only vocally but with your stage presence too, I think your already one of the favourite's to win the competition and you've certainly proven that you can deal with that type of pressure. Really great job once again!

Hayden: That was very impressive, it seems this competition is getting tougher and tougher by the week. That was a very strong performance and I think you might have surpassed Miss Fierce with this song. I admire your Diva attitude this week, it really helped you. All I will say is I'm interested in what you do next week to top this.

Scott: (Shrugs and then laughs and jumps up.) Aubrey, that was incredible! You really got the hang of this show girl, and you are just sensational. My favourite to win. By a long way. What else can I even say?

Casey Johnson – Star Factory Performance 4

[Stephanie Fierce Challenge]


Going into the third week, Casey Johnson has been a fan as well as judge favorite for this competition. With her stunning debut to last week’s Ballad challenge, she’s proven to be a more than worthy opponent on the show. This week, however, Casey has been faced with an obstacle. She will be performing a cover of one of music’s biggest names, Stephanie Fierce. Her flawless performances last week really made her skyrocket to the top of the competition scoring the highest score and becoming the Star of the Week, but none of this has gone to little Casey’s head.

Quote:
”I’m absolutely goin out there every night and givin it my all. I don’t believe in performin’ in front of people and just puttin’ together somethin’, I wanna give folks everything I got! Now last week, Ballads are somethin’ I just knew I would be good at but this week was tough. I was as shocked as can be when I found out I had the highest votes. I don’t know why people are so fascinated and stuff with me, I’m just bein myself but I guess they got tired of the make up artists, you know the people who have to cover up who they really are. I aint gonna lie, I never listened to Stephanie Fierce before in my life. Well maybe once, but I didn’t even know it was her! I’m not her biggest fan, with all due respect, but from the sound of it, she’s a huge person. I just wanna impress her and all the judges. Believe it or not, I’ve been gettin’ some nasty comments from people on my twitter. They don’t like they way I talk or the way I act but who else do I act like? My mama raised me to be Casey May Johnson and that’s who I’m gonna be! Now I may not know much about Miss Fierce but I know she can blow and I intend on goin’ out there again and givin’ these folks a run for their money. I wanna put to rest the comments about me gettin’ by with luck. Now don’t let my sweetness fool you, I can sure ‘nough get up there and show out and if that’s what it takes for me to win well Casey May Johnson is goin’ put on a show for y’all!”




Stephanie Fierce - As It Ends

Casey stands on the stage, the lights a little dimmed, ready for her performance to start. She looks out into the crowd and then over to the judges where she sees the one and only Stephanie Fierce sitting. She knew she had to kill the song or risk be harshly ridiculed by the songstress herself. Casey knew that so far she was doing great but she wanted to do better. This was her toughest challenge yet because she did not know how she was going to sing a Stephanie Fierce song. She just nodded her head a little while looking at Scott and then she faced the crowd again. As the music started to play, Casey tapped her foot a little. She had changed up her look this week, by changing her hair and growing it out a little more. She didn’t want the little young teen image anymore. She wanted to look like a real woman when she sang this song. A soft guitar is heard playing in the background to a country tune. Casey feels at home again in front of all these people.

As soon as Scott threw out suggestions for songs to sing, Casey felt lost. She had never heard half of the songs and thought she would ultimately fail the challenge but it didn't stop her from trying. Casey began to listen to Stephanie, attempted to buy every song on the list and see which would suit her best. It was another challenge because Casey wasn't comfortable singing most of the songs, until she found the one. As It Ends was the last song Casey had listened to and it was love at first listen. She couldn't get enough of the song, mostly because it was right at home to her. She loved Country music and knew she would pull this off. Adding a little bit of Pop to the sound, Casey rehearsed all day and night to perfect her sound. She knew that by being #1 last week, she had a lot to live up to this week and she didn't want to disappoint.

Casey was nervous the night before the competition. She had forgotten that the woman herself, Stephanie would actually be there to listen and judge her. Now of course, her and Stephanie had two completely different voices and ranges so she hoped she wouldn't butcher the song but she had gained a lot of respect and admiration for Miss Fierce during the challenge. She had become a fan now and was mesmerized by her career. Casey decided to use those things to help drive her to strive for that top spot again. She just hoped that she did not disappoint.

Everything to know about me, is written on this page
But There's no way to reach me, at this time and age
But Right now I could hit the lotto, and I wouldn't be satisfied
crowned the next queen model and I would not survive
That's how empty I've grown over the past
No one knew how long this could last

I've had people, arrest me, hold me against my will
I've had people, come dress me, tell you how I 'feel'
I got a gold crown, many birdies, just laying on the floor
many houses, big money, they think I don't deserve
Many people say there's no need to cry
But I'm a drain and I lost the reasons why


As the lights shift, a spotlight now glowing on Casey, the song also takes a shift. Casey sings louder as she sings the next part of the song. She walks across the stage, glancing at the crowd, giving them smiles, and then looking forward again. She sings with such passion and has a strong sense of the song. She could kind of relate to the song in a way that made her sing with a fire inside her. She turns to the other side of the stage, tapping her hand along her side to the beat of the song. Her country accent seems to shine throughout the song, something that she is really known for. Even though the song is not an upbeat one, you can’t help but to feel Casey’s bubbly personality burst through. She decides to give the song her own personal twist by ad libbing and holding the last note of the line.

Many people say how could you feel alone
when you got so many people knocking at your door
but I'm just too damn busy, to open up the door
I feel like I'm livin' life as it ends

I've had people, arrest me, hold me against my will
I'va had people, come dress me, tell you how I 'feel'
I got a gold crown, many birdies, just laying on the floor
many houses, big money, they think I don't deserve
Many people say there's no need to cry

But I'm a drain and I lost the reasons why
Right now I could hit the lotto, and I wouldn't be satisfied
crowned the next queen model and I would not survive
That's how empty I've grown over the past
No one knew how long this could la-a-a-a-ast

Oh-h-h-h-h yeah
Mmmmmhmmm


In between this part and the chorus, Casey encourages the audience to clap along to the song with her. She continues to sing, giving an extra southerness to the song, and by singing in a strong voice, from her usual soft and airy voice. Her voice becomes harder when she sang the swear words, really trying to emphasize the emotion that was being projected in the song. She really gives the song her all and wants to impress the judges. She looks at the crowd and smiles as they smile and hold out their hands to her. She holds one of the male’s hands as if singing to him and then walks back to the center of the stage. Casey then briefly pauses as she sings the last line of the song. The audience is cheering but they soften as she moves her mouth back to the microphone. Holding the note, she then smiles at the audience, not able to contain the joy she felt from finishing the song.


Many people say how could you feel alone
when you got so many people knocking at your door
but I'm just too damn busy, to open up the door
I feel like I'm livin' life as it ends

Who-o-o-o-o-o-oa

But I'm a drain and I lost the reasons why
Right now I could hit the lotto, and I wouldn't be satisfied
crowned the next queen model and I would not survive
That's how empty I've grown over the past
No one knew how long this could last, yeah

Oh farewell. All those years, Oh farewell. All those tears.
As it ends....


Casey laughs and smiles, bowing before the audience. “Thank y’all so much, I love y’all!” She waves to an audience member and then back at the camera.

Brittany: The competition is REALLY heating up! After two stunning performances back to back I'm sweating here! Hehe, you did another amazing job this week and I see you and Aubrey being direct competition each week since you guys are pretty much always neck and neck. As It Ends is a great song sung by Stephanie Fierce and I think you took a song one again this week and made it one of your own. Keep this up Casey because your definitely one of the leading singers on this competition. Can't wait to see what you got next week.

Hayden: Amazing Casey, just amazing is the job you have done. I really thought you would pick this song because it fits you so perfectly. I wished you maybe didn't play it safe and went with the crazy, fast paced song but hey, you still killed it in my eyes. Great job my little southern belle.

Scott: (With bad mock accent.) Well shucks Casey, that was just great. Perhaps this week didn't suit your style so well as it did for a few other acts...but girl you have pulled it out, and you amazed me big style. This was incredible. You have the talent to go all the way, both in this contest, and out there in the real world. You are so good. Great stuff Case!
