"So, here I am standing with the beautiful, beautiful Carmen V. Carmen, you look flawless tonight! Could you tell us what you are wearing? And how was your road to the FCA's? I hope everything went well!"

"Oh lord if I knew everything was put together so last minute by the stylists I didn't even have time to ask sorry big name brand that I'm forgetting love you and thanks for the outfit it's cute" she says before laughing

"Well, that's good to know! You are one of the hottest newcomers this year. You've released 2 hit singles, including the #1 Hit single "Tell Nobody", did you expect this huge success with this song? And, how do you feel being nominated for Best Newcomer and Best Female Artist?"

"No I definitely did not expect that reaction I mean I am extremely happy and proud that people liked it so much to take it to the top but I can't say I expected that and just being here is amazing let alone being nominated for these awards like I'm up there in Best Female with Isabel I've been in love with her since the start" she laughs

Ezra nods and continues to ask her questions, "Yeah. Well, who are you the most excited for tonight? We know that you're going to perform, and I believe that it's going to be amazing, but are you excited to see anybody else?"

"Oh definitely keep an eye out for my performance we're definitely going to be turning up" she says hinting at something but not making it too obvious "I'm really excited to see Kidd perform he's a really talented guy I had the amazing opportunity to meet him recently and he's super chill and just great so him I'm excited for my fellow newcomer Alyia Rose of course oh Weekend who doesn't love those guys am I right ladies?" she laughs "And of course my main chick Miami love her and just everybody else they definitely picked up an incredible line up tonight"

"Well, I'm excited to see everybody!", she laughs and continues to speak, "Well, as I already said, you have released 2 amazing songs. Now, we would like to know if you have already planned to release an Album or an EP? And, are there going to be more collaborations?"

"Ugh the album question okay well I think I've been teasing enough I do have an album planned out but we scrapped the first so it might be out later this year or early next as for collabs there's going to be a ton I'm still in talks with some people but so far I've got some great collabs set up for the album"

"Since we are speaking about music, who would you like to work with? Do you have any dream collaborations?"

"Well I said previously Rum & Coke I absolutely love them and we may or may not be in talks" she says winking at the camera "Um Isabel is my queen so definitely her Liyah is incredibly talented so definitely add her to that list oh and Miami she's been going in hard lately and I'm loving what she's doing right now"

"Wow, hopefully these collaborations are going to happen! Well, we are in the topic 'Collaborations', how was it to work with Payton on your first single? There are a lot of rumors about his 'attitude', how is he really?"

"It was great working with Payton contrary to popular belief he is a really chill guy and we actually still chill out I think the media enjoys portraying certain people as certain things sadly he's been getting the short end of the stick but if you know him he's actually really cool and all the talk that goes on about him is just that it's just talk he's really cool"

"Hmm..that's good", she says with a smile. "I'm really excited to see everybody perform, so what can we expect from you?"

"Oh you know expect that turn up factor I said earlier lots of dancing a possible rap verse or some crowd interaction hopefully now falling on stage just expect good things mami"

"Thank you so much for doing this with me , Carmen! You're amazing and I hope everything goes well with your performance!"

"Thank you so much you are too and good luck to you too with the nominations" Carmen smiles before giving her a quick hug then heading over to interact with some fans

"This was the beautiful Carmen V!"

(Kandii's acts)




Aikya arrives and immediately everyone swarms her bird dress. She poses for the cameras. Her fans collectively scream "YAAAAS AIKYA! YAAAS!" And of course she responds by mumbling: "Soaring over your faves, watch and learn." She goes over to fans and blows kisses to them, completely ignoring reporters while greeting all of the fans from a distance. She doesn't get too close because she doesn't want to trigger her social anxiety but her fans know this and don't mind. They scream for her anyways. "I LOVE YOU!" She adorably screams over them, her quiet voice not getting louder in tone but higher in pitch.

---

Next up is Mi•Mi who have arrived in 4 different outfits of pink and plaid. Of course their fanbase which has grown rapidly lately, immediately screams for them and the cameras quickly flashes. One reporter sneaks up to them and begins to ask them a question.

"Who are you wearing? I'm getting a very Nancy Drew/Sherlock Holmes feel from these outfits you have on here."

Misu laughs. "Yay!" She responds. The reporter takes this as a yes.

"What mystery are you guys solving tonight?" The reporter asks trying hard to engage a spontaneous interview with them.

Miki butts in. "The case of all the missing awards that Mi•Mi deserve." Everyone laughs at her "joke" but she keeps a straight face.

---

Dakota begins streaming down the red carpet and heading for the building. Camera men ask her to stop and take pictures on the red carpet and she rolls her eyes and heads over. After seeing a few flashes of lights, she figures that's enough and begins walking towards the building again. An interview follows her half way there, but Dakota looks back and gives her the side eye.

---

Next to arrive is Rum & Coke. They are just pulling up but the cameras are already flashing just as they step into view.



The first of them to be seen is Coke who jumps out of the car in the parking lot, looking like a rich bitch as usual. Rum is right behind her, the security guards following them as the whole entourage crowds around.



You can already hear cheers from the fans as they began to strut down the red carpet, their security pulling out umbrellas for no reason as they guard them. Probably to block out all the peasants. Glimpses of Rum looking as fierce as ever are caught.


(Rum on the right, Coke on the left)

Fans scream for Rum & Coke as they didn't really expect their arrivals.

Another interviewer quickly sneaks her way next to Rum & Coke and begins asking them questions.

"Wooow, we haven't seen you at an award show in almost 2 years! Even then you've never been on the red carpet! Why'd you guys suddenly show up?"

Rum & Coke shrugs and looks at each other. "I don't know, we just decided to pop up this year and come through. We haven't been on tour so there's not a lot of interacting with the fans these days. This is the perfect place to finally start catching up." Coke says, smiling and waving at the crowd.

"I love your outfits but no dresses?"

"Fuck dresses to be honest. Next year...maybe." Rum says, laughing lightly.

"Who are you wearing?"

Rum looks down at herself and starts to name all the designers. "Well the outfit is Public School, but then you have some Chanel and some Swarvoski... mix and match, you know?"

"Well damn." Coke laughs, looking at Rum. "I'm just over here being basic, decked in one of a kind Atelier Versace." She says with a hairflip.

"Oop bitch, one up me." Rum says, both of them laughing together. They laugh and pose for a little longer before going over to interact with the fans, already hype before the show even begins.

REESE HOLLINSWORTH

Reese Hollinsworth walks to the media booth after having come in in a black suit jacket-trousers combination with a white shirt underneath. Once there, he is greeted by the media attendant for the show tonight.



Good evening, Reese! Welcome to the Fan Choice Awards!
Thanks and good evening to you, too. How are you doing?

Not too shabby. How about you?
Wicked excited. (Laughs)

(Laughs) Okay, so first things first, we have to talk about "Stockholm", which is doing amazingly on the charts and also faring pretty well with the critics. Now, I think I'm speaking for a lot of people here, that just, like, came out of the blue for us.
To be honest with you, there wasn't a whole lot of planning going into that (chuckles). I decided on it, probably two days before it happened. But a lot of the fans were there for it, for the first listen and their responses were just very heart-lifting for me, if you know what I mean.

Another thing we definitely need to talk about, and this has been debated over Twitter and our podcast for a week now, is when the video for "Stockholm" is coming out.
It's gonna come out...soon enough. We're finishing up casting and we just started shooting last night for a couple of scenes and we're going back on Monday to try and get as much in as we can because there's a whole lot in there. I'm talking about a five-page script written in a language which I don't even speak very fluently. Did I say that right? "Which I don't speak?"

I think so.
Thanks. Anyway, so we've already got some part of it done and in post-production, we just need to have a chunk more done.

And how big is that chunk? Are we waiting for a very long video or what?
I...do not have the liberty to specify. (Laughs)

(Laughs) And this is gonna be your very first music video, right?
Yeah.

What took you so long? (Laughs)
(Laughs) Well, a couple of reasons. One, I couldn't get the funding because I was still unsigned at the time and all. The second reason, well, I can't tell you that.

And are you gonna be at the iHeartRadio Music Festival this year? Because you were there last year, you know.
I do not have the liberty to tell you that, either.

So you are (chuckles). Cause when people do that, the rumor tends to be true.
I am neither confirming nor denying. I'm just saying that I can't tell you whether I'll be there or not.

Okay, I should let you get into the arena to get settled. Who are you expecting to see tonight?
I'm not really particular to anyone tonight. I'm just gonna be there and just enjoy the show to the fullest. And of course try to get my performance right (laughs).

And one last thing: Clinton or Trump for 2016?
Sanders. Easy pick.

Well, thank you joining us on the red carpet. It was great having you here.
Thanks for having me.

That was Reese Hollinsowrth, everybody. Remember to catch his performance tonight a few hours from now. But until then, don't change the channel as we bring to you more artists from the Fan Choice Awards red carpet!

After departing the media booth, Reese continues the long trek to the arena, interacting with fans in his way.

C.M.B.D arrives to the FCA's red carpet Pre-Show and pose for a few pictures. They wink and wave to a couple of fans in the crowd and head to the venue quickly so they could go prepare for their upcoming Performance. The girls looked a little out of place but their outfits where on point.

Suddenly Country musician and "Artist To Watch" nominee Bryce Green shows up going against the grain wearing a lovely yellow banana suit he poses for a few photos before heading over to the fans to bless them all with his potASSium

A limo pulls up at the end of the red carpet and a few seconds later, a suited man comes across and opens the back door. After a few seconds, Eilidh Greene steps out of the car looking glamorous and stunningly beautiful in a long flowing white dress with a silver panel. Eilidh has never looked in better shape or form, and she truly dazzles as she stands there posing. She looks up the long red carpet, that blank look in her eyes that has made Eilidh such a beloved star. She smiles eventually and then waves to the cameras and assembled fans outside as she starts to walk up towards the entrance of the arena. She occasinally stops to pose for some photographs, before smiling and waving again at the thousands of people, whether hoping the snap a photo, get her autograph or just have her notice them, scream her name. Eilidh could barely believe so many people even card about her, but it made her so excited. She stops every now and again to hug some fans and take selfies with them, before she walks forward and stops next to Ezra for an interview.



"Hey, Eilidh! You look so beautiful tonight! What are you wearing?"

Thank you! It's just a dress I got for the show to come here. I bought it when I went to London one day. It is white all over it but then this one bit is silver on my boob also and I don't know why but I liked it.

"You've been known for all your collaborations with other musicians, are you excited to perform your own song now? And, could you tell us a little bit about the song?"

I love to sing all the time so I like to do songs with other people because I just show up to the place and then they tell me what to sing and then I can do it. I'm excited about tonight about getting to sing my own song but I have never been on a stage to sing to a lot of people before so I'm nervous about doing that. We practiced the singing a lot though and I know how to dance and also I went to the gym a lot in the last weeks so I might be ok, I think. My song is about a little baby who can shoot people with a arrow and then makes them want to be in love with each other. I love to sing it because it's fun and the music is different and sounds really nice. It has all trumpet sounds in it and it is fast and happy and I like it.

"Your collaboration with Austion Nimmo got praised alot from several critics, how was it to work with him? And, are there any other collaborations about to come?"

People said such nice things about that song and it made me really happy that people liked it because it was great to do a song with my friend Austin and it was really fun to be in the studio doing that work. Working with him was not the way I thought it would be though. Do you know on the song how when we are singing it sounds like we both were singing the same song at the same time? That didn't happen because we did singing at different times and all the different parts differently and then in the end one of the boys with the computers would come out and he would be able to make it all sound like one song because he is magic or something I think. In the next time I will be doing another collaboration soon but I am not sure if I am allowed to tell anyone who it is going to be with yet.

"Who are you the most excited for tonight? We've alot of amazing performers!"

Ummmmm there are lots of people who I think would be great to see tonight but I think Weekend because I love Weekend more than any other singers and also Oscar is in Weekend and I love him lots and lots too. Today I wanted to bring the Little Roo and Rocco to come here and watch their mommy and daddy singing in Weekend and just Eilidh but then Oscar said we would be too busy on the show singing and getting ready and he said they wouldn't be able to come because of that. I am also excited to get the chance to see that one girl called Vanity singing because I think she would have a stage show that was all huge and fun and weird and I like that.

"Well, I can't wait to see you tonight on stage! I love your voice!", says Ezra with a smile

Thank you! I practice at home a lot when I am cleaning the house and also when I am in the shower so I can know all my favourite songs and I can sing them better.

"Could you tell us anything about your upcoming Album or EP? I mean, you probably have something planned already..Well, atleast I hope you have something planned! I really can't wait to hold your album in my hands!"

What does EP mean? Is that the movie about the little alien that comes down on the bike and wants to call his house all the time? No, I wasn't in that movie I think that was a different girl who was in that. I love that movie though. I will do an album soon as well. Maybe I could do it for Christmas time so that people could get it for a present for Christmas. And also I could do a song on there that was a Christmas song because I love Christmas and it's my favourite time of year and that would be so much fun to do that!

"Thanks for your time, Eilidh!"

Thank you loads! I hope you have fun!

Some time later, a car pulls up, a large SUV style vehicle, black and with all the windows rolled down. One member of Juneau, Ryan Oberst hangs out of the window and whoops in delight as the car sits at the end of the red carpet, before the door opens and the collective members of the pop-punk band climb out of the vehicle one after the other, dusting themselves off. Aside from Kellin, the rest of the band are dressed very casually, while the guitarist himself is dressed in a sharp black suit with a pair of shades on. They all smile at the crowd and make their way up the carpet, pulling various funny band poses on their way to the door and stopping to high five members of the crowd all the way up. When they get to the press area, they stop for a second and chat amongst themselves. After a second or two, four members of Juneau make their way inside, and Kellin walks over to the MTV booth to be interviewed.



"Hi, Kellin! It's great to see you guys here!"

Hey, what's up? Yeah it's fantastic to be here. I never knew England could have sun like this. It's definitely a fantastic night to be sitting inside an arena (laughs)

"How are you tonight?"

I'm not gonna lie, I am ridiculously jetlagged at the moment. Last night was the last night of tour. We literally got finished on stage on Warped Tour at like 11 last night, on the west coast of the states, and then we had to make our way across here. So that was like....11 hours ago, then an eight hour flight? Yeah, we haven't been in England long and I am so tired. I'm hoping tonight will help serve as a pick me up, though. It should be good fun tonight, we get to see some cool performances and just soak up the atmosphere, I always like awards shows.

"How was it for you guys out on Warped Tour? You've been on that for a while, right?"

It's been some months, yeah (laughs). Listen Warped is always a bit of a trek of a festival to go through. It's amazing fun and some of the best experiences you could ever have are on Warped, but it's a long long tour and at times it does get very tiring to be out on the road, you know, seven days a week. It's been a fantastic experience to play for so many people, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat, but it'll be amazing to have some time off for a little break from being on the road.

"You're not nominated tonight. Does that make a difference to your enjoyment of the show?"

No, not at all. We just love being a part of things, and the whole band is here so it'll be fun. Great fun. I know it. These sorts of shows are just so fun to be involved with. It gives you a chance to enjoy a different side of what we all do for a living. We'll hang out with people we know, we'll have a little dance, we'll be able to just enjoy it without the pressure a lot of the people out there will have when they're waiting to see if they win awards. I can't wait to see who'll win, there's a lot of deserving people out there tonight, it'll be a fantastic night.

"Are you guys all here with dates tonight or are you just flying as Team Juneau?

Haha no there are some things in the works around the place I think. Dallas is going to be hanging with Dustyn, I would imagine, you know since they're quite serious, and Ryan has his wife here as well, she just didn't want to head out on the red carpet. I'm not sure if Josh's wife is here, though. I think that will depend on whether or not the girls from The Dolls are coming or not.

"And how about yourself? Did you not ask Val Hart to go with you on Twitter?"

"Val and I are gonna hang out tonight, yeah, that'll be great. She's a really nice girl and she's so much fun. I got my 3DS all charged up and in my side pocket here, so we're gonna chill and play some pokemon, which will be top fun. If Val misses out on picking up one of the many awards I know she'll win tonight, then I apologise (laughs).

"And who are you most looking forward to seeing perform tonight?"

I think Kidd Amaze. It probably surprises people that I like hip hop, but I've got a soft spot for the genre and that guy really rules the roost in that sense, so I'm looking forward to seeing him tear it up out there.

"Thanks so much for talking to us tonight, Kellin!"

No, hey, thank you for making me feel important!

Fan Choice Awards V
Red Carpet - August 2, 2015



Kourtney walks out on the red carpet wearing a gorgeous form fitting, open back baby pink dress with teal and gold sequins and a lovely clutch purse and shoes to match. She poses for a picture, putting her hands on her hips, her signature move, as she smiles big at the camera. Before making her way inside, she stops to do an interview first.

Kourtney, you look beautiful as ever. How's married life treating you?

It's been wonderful. I'm fortunate enough to be married to my best friend. We actually just got back from our honeymoon. We went to Alaska, and it was beautiful. If I could, I would definitely move there. (smiles)

Glad to hear that all is well with you two lovebirds. Now you're up for Best Pop Artist, and you have quite the competition this year. Do you think you'll win?

It would be nice, if I do have the pleasure of winning. I'm just really happy to be competing with some really talented artists that are up for this award as well. Whoever wins, I'll be fine with it, I'm just really glad to be here celebrating music with such talented people.

So sweet. You recently released your debut album. What has that been like for you?

Omg, it's been really amazing. I feel like I just introduced everyone to my first child, cause it feels that way to me. I worked on the album for two years, adding and changing things and for it to finally be out for everyone to hear is simply amazing. The reception has been wonderful and positive, and I'm just so happy that my fans are enjoying the album.

It's really a great album indeed and speaking of children, are you and Jason thinking about having any soon?

We've talked about it before we got married, and we both definitely want to have children. We already have names for them, and know exactly how many we want. It hasn't been decided yet on when we'll start having children, but probably once I release another album or so then it might happen. I don't know, I'm always changing my mind, but we'll definitely let everyone know when the time comes.

Great, and what cute babies they'll be! What's next for you now that the album is out?

Soon I'll be going on tour, which is another reason why we're not having children yet. I'll be announcing the tour soon, and it'll start early next yer. So the rest of this year will be dedicated to promoting the album, and getting ready for the tour that's coming up.

Sounds good. We won't take up any more of your time now. Have a good time tonight.

Thanks love.

Kourtney smiles, and then walks off to head inside.

So I am currently standing here with the chart topping ladies man Dominic Brown. Dominic you're looking rather sharp tonight what are you wearing? Also style tips would be much appreciated my man. Brandon says before letting out a slight chuckle.

I just wanted to keep it simple, and plus it's hot. So I'm just wearing something comfortable this time, nothing fancy. As for tips go, I'd say just wear what you like. Find what works for your and just make it your style. Make it original and just be yourself. At the end of the day, it's all about you and what you like.


So anyway you've recently released two chart topping singles one of which is actually nominated for best collaboration tonight can you tell me what it was like working on those two songs and working with Jennifer Armstrong?

Well for 'Tell Me Where It Hurts' it was a fun little song to work on. I'm really big on doing the Pop songs now, and I just wanted to keep that up for this new album. A lot of people consider an artist to be a sellout when they don't stay true to their roots, but I feel like a great artist can do just about anything. It's good to keep your roots, but it's also good to want to try new things. I mean as long as it's something that works well for you, then I have no problem with it. Working with Jennifer was an extra bonus. I've always had a little crush on her and have always thought that she has a great voice. So it was great to work with someone as talented as she is. As for my current single, 'Now Or Never,' I again wanted to make another Pop song. I love all types of music, Pop especially, and it's something I've come to enjoy creating my songs around. mISTER_b is just an amazing person to work with as well, and I always feel honored when we're working together. I know that when I'm working with him that he's going to give his all, and create something magical and out of this world.

You're also up for four other awards apart from that one tonight which include Fan Favorite and Best male artist of course we can't forget Best Producer which I will fight you for by the way Brandon says jokingly as the two were nominated for the same award So what's it like being up for all of those awards man?

I can't even lie, it's great being nominated and being recognized for all that I do. It's just confirmation to me that people care about what I'm doing, and they're enjoying it. I love knowing that, but at the same time I try to stay humble about it. I'm not trying to let it all go to my head you know cause it's just an award. I'm always thankful enough to just be nominated, and so when I don't win something I can accept it and move on. People be throwing fits cause they go home empty handed, but I remain cool cause the positive reactions that I get out of the fans is my reward. I live for that cause they mean the world to me.

And last year you were actually the most nominated male artist at this awards show I believe tying up with the sensational Isabel what was that like?

Man, that was crazy. I really couldn't believe it myself. I think last year was just a good year for me cause I was working hard, and people recognized that. Izzy was too, and they recognized that as well with her. We both just had a good year, and it'll always keep me motivated.

So as I said you've recently released two amazing chart topping singles but when can we expect the full album to be released?

I honestly get this question a lot, and I'm glad that everyone is interested in knowing. I want my fans to know that I'm not doing this on purpose. The album just needs to come together and be perfect. I'm just somewhat of a perfectionist, and so I'm not trying to drop something bad. I want it to be much better than my debut album, and it's getting there. I'm always making changes to it. Um I mean I don't have an official date yet but it's coming. If I had to guess, I probably say possibly looking for it to drop some time later this year. Maybe around Christmas or something like that. In the meantime, I do have a surprise that I'm about to announce soon. It's music related of course, and it'll be something to hold the fans over while they wait for the new album.

Nice so there are tons of amazing performers tonight with the likes of Jennifer Armstrong, Weekend, Vanity and so many others hitting the stage but who are you most excited to see?

Hmmm I think I'm looking forward to seeing Miami and Kidd Amaze perform the most. Miami is really talented, and I've been feeling her music. She's also real beautiful too so I'm trying to meet her tonight if she's cool with that. (laughs) Um Kidd is talented as well. Had the honor of working with him a few times, and it's always a good experience. Heard he was opening up the show, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll do. I know he'll kill it though as always.

And last year you performed here actually opening up the show with a rather fly performance do you have any advice or tips for the performers tonight?

Umm don't mess up. (laughs) Nah, I'm playing. I mean the biggest advice that I can give that will help is to just have fun with it. Don't let the nerves get to you, matter of fact don't even think about it. When you're up on stage, just vibe with the crowd and let them get you hyped up. It'll make it fun for you, and turn out to be a better performance. That's pretty much what I do whenever I have to perform somewhere. I've been in the game though for some years now, and so I really don't get nervous anymore. Its become a natural thing to me now, but just have fun with it like I said and all should be good.

Now this has been some pretty big news but you've recently split from your former fiancee Tanya. Now you don't have to answer this if you don't want to but can you give us the reason as to why that happened?

Well I don't really like to talk about it, cause I've been trying to move on from it, but I feel like the only way I can really do that is to be honest about what happened. I mean we're both entertainers and so we have busy schedules. So that's why it really didn't work out for us, seeing that neither one of was there for the other. Trying to make a relationship like that work, is one of the hardest things, and so in the end we both knew that it wasn't going to work. She deserves the world and I hope that she gets that.


So you also made a rather bold move recently when you collaborated on not one but two tracks with your ex girlfriend Tisha Jackson can you give us a little insight on what made you decide to do that and what it was like working with her and the other artists on that track?

It's sorta crazy how that ended up happening, cause I can promise you that our fans didn't see this coming. I say this cause Tisha and I weren't on the best of terms for a while, and it was just this back and forth bashing each other in interviews kind of thing. I honestly never thought that I would speak to her again, but she hit me up out of the blue, wanting to work things out and to work together again on some songs. I was hesitant at first, mostly just being stubborn cause that's what I do. (laughs) I really wasn't trying to hear that, but I took some time to think about it, and we reconciled our differences. From there, we discussed about me collaborating on a couple of songs with her. I agreed and we started work on the songs. When she first explained to me about what '' would be about, I was like that's interesting but I ended up doing it once I heard the song. So I recorded my part and it was a wrap from there. I worked with both Drew and Kidd before so I knew that the track was going to be a hit.

Alright thank you so much for your time Dominic it was great talking to you and good luck tonight with your nominations man

Thank you.

Dominic walks off and heads inside to find his seat.

Tisha Jackson arrives to take pictures for photographers and poses on the red carpet.

DARAXI/C.M.B.D 2K15 FAN CHOICE AWARDS | PRE-SHOW LIVE PERFORMANCE

---

Daraxi and the other remaining 3 members of C.M.B.D make their way to the Pre-Show stage, Johnny Carter was performing his set-list, so they were very unnoticeable due to the screaming fan girls trying to jump or throw bought merchandise for Johnny on to the stage. Their backup dancers were already waiting for them and Daraxi was adjusting her earpiece accordingly. Daraxi smiled at Chaelin and held her hand since the nerves of her and the whole groups first debuting performance was at a major award show, which they only had a few days to rehearse due to short notice circumstances. As Johnny's performance was heading to a close, one of the FCA staff comes up to the group, "You girls go on in two minutes, we're just going to roll your props onto the stage and immediately you guys are on, got it?" he said to them. The girls just looked at each other and nodded their head. Moments later, Johnny's set ends and the roar of the screaming fans can be heard as the announcement of their performance coming up next echoes through the Red Carpet area. The FCA's staff begin to roll the huge pieces of props onto the stage very quickly as the stage lights are off, seconds later C.M.B.D make their way to the stage and take their place.



The lights turn on and a beautiful decorated stage is revealed, a small artificial body of water lays in-front of the stage with moving props that are made to look like living swans. The background looks similar to a jungle and fog machines are used to make the environment and atmosphere of the performance look spooky and vast. Tree branches sticking out of the side of the stage are seen, as with artificial grass laying behind the small body of water on the edge of the stage. The music stars and the crowd of fans begin to scream in excitement as they see the very well decorated stage, The group is then revealed as spot lights begin to shine on each member at their different locations around the stage.



Daraxi steps forward and begins to sing her debuting song "Diseased", the other reaming members begin to dance to the same choreography as the backup dancers are doing. Daraxi is wearing a Roberto Cavalli lion print dress with a gold Versace belt and matching earrings, she has a side cut fade with the rest of her hair dyed red. Daraxi and the other members also have scarfs tied around their hands to emphasize the swinging of their arms and hips. Daraxi continues to sing and dances to the beginning verses of "Diseased"

One two three
You infected me with your unpurified lust
Wishing you were the one I could at least trust
So we have four five six
The feeling has me spinning in a rush
Thinking about how could I allow myself to be so lost

Letting you go through was my biggest mistake
I wish I could have known to lead you the other away
You would have walked away
But I led the way



Daraxi after singing to the beginning verses begins to take more part in the choreography, she sings the Pre-Chorus and fabulously begins to strut her way to the front of the stage where she winks and shows off her great charisma to the crowd. The group has a surprisingly great stage presence for their first live performance ever, they each individually show of their own type of style and fashion throughout the pre-chorus section.

Quarantined soul
My quarantined soul
Has me locked away in a unforgettable place, I no longer hold on to my own fate
This quarantined soul
My quarantined soul
Is the effect of unholy ways
Wishing if my ending days will take me away
I'm wishing this was you, this is only meant for you



When the performance hits the chorus section the groups dancing slows down and they begin to use their scarfs to emphasize the swinging of their hips and hands. The backup dancers begin to move out of the stage to the side strangely and the remaining people on stage are the girls only. Daraxi and the other members begin to move around the stage as if they were preparing for another upcoming song? Nobody knew what was coming next, but the preparation of it was very noticeable in the choreography. Chaelin headed to the middle of the stage as the chorus of "Diseased" was coming to its end.

Quarantined soul
Quarantined soul

You diseased me baby baby you diseased me baby
You diseased me baby baby you diseased me baby
It was all a lie
You diseased me baby baby you diseased me baby
You diseased me baby baby you diseased me baby



After the chorus of "Diseased" ends, a new song begins to play and a majestic bird out of nowhere fly's out and lands on Chaelin's shoulder as she begins to pump up the crowd. Chaelin dances and moves her shoulder a little to make the bird flap its wings. The other remaining members bob their head to the beat as the new song begins. The lights begin to go crazy and more smog begins to engulf the stage as random, artificial flames begin to erupt around the stage.

Chaelin
Bom
Minzy
Daraxi

I go by the name Chaelin of C.M.B.D
It's been a long time coming, but we're here now
And we about to set the roof on fire baby (Uh oh)
You better get yours cuz I'm gettin' mine

Lets go

Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh
C.M.B.D
Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh
You better ring the alarm
Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh
We're C.M.B.D
Eh eh eh eh eh eh Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey



After pumping up the crowd, Chaelin begins to sing her part of the new unknown song. Chaerin is wearing a Balmain Spring cropped jacket and balmain high waisted leather shorts. She dances seductively with Minzy as little white flakes begin to fall from the stage roof, they seemed to be artificial snow flakes. The moving swan props begin to move as well and mechanically shake their feathers to give the impression as if they were alive.

She's calling, calling, calling your phone
You think I don't know that you been known to cheat before
Ha ha ha ha, baby I know how to go on with the show
Ka Ka Ka Karma, will soon be knocking at your door

Minzy!



Minzy takes up the middle spot and begins to sing her verse, she continues to dance seductively and throws a few charismatic kisses to the camera. After the first half of her verse Minzy imminently does a full on twerk split and the crowd goes crazy. She shakes her ass a few times and jumps right back up and continues with the choreography. By then the backup dancers re-entered the stage to join the girls. While Minzy continued with her verse, many of the prop tree leafs began to fall and gave the impression as if it was a backward season cycle.

It's a shame that you didn't appreciate a women who knows how to get down
*Twerk Split*
None of those side chicks can love you like I do from your waist to the ground
They couldn't even slightly compare
But it's alright, alright oh



After Minzy finishes Bom takes her place and instead of being seductive she elegantly dances as she sings her verse. The girls once again use their scarfs in the choreography and the backup dancers begin to move side to side behind them. The tree leafs that were falling begin to stop and a the image of a sun pops up in the screens behind the girls. After boms part Chaelin takes the center stage again and begins to sing the chorus of the song.

Don't come at with those sorrow words
You knew what you were doing and there's no more remorse
So you can go ahead and pack up your things and head out here
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh, Yeah

Now Le-le-le-le-le-leave, this ain't no soap opera
You better be-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-lieve that you lost your shot
You better be heading out the door, I know you ain't go no where to go
But that's a thing that you-you-you-you-you-you need to fend for yourself



The chorus ends and its Daraxi's turn to take center stage, she shakes her hips a little and flips her hair charismatically. Artificial flames begin to pop up again around the stage and many of the flowers on the stage begin to blossom as if it was the beginning of spring. The background images of the stage turn from Suns to clouds and images of birds flying begin to appear as well. The performance came to a random but seemingly appropriate end, and all the girls pose automatically and stare at the camera as it paneled around the stage for one last time.

I got the fire that will burn through your sinful soul
Don't play with me boy, cause I'll bring everything I got Ooh
You made my heart split into two
But I got something up my sleeve that I know will burn through
Hey



The crowd goes crazy and the girls bow, Daraxi look as if she was going to cry due to her being so overwhelmed with emotions. The girls, thank the crowd individually and walk off the stage and begin to tear up, they hug each other and begin to head to the venue. As the girls walk to the venue they are informed by their management that they will have a new set of clothes in their dressing room and some cooled tows so they can cool off briefly and wipe off some of the sweat. The girls just nod and continue to cry, but they also looked very joyful and appreciative at the same time. They held each others hand the whole time as they walked inside the venue. This was the moment each member realized that they were beginning a life many girls their age or even younger want to live.
