00:00:18Welcome to Star Search, I'm your host Anthony Anderson, and tonight it's the last of our
00:00:25head-to-head competitions to determine who moves on to next week's live finale for a chance to win
00:00:32half a million dollars and be named the ultimate Star Search champion. That is life-changing,
00:00:42and who makes it there is up to our judges and you at home. And here are our judges. Give
00:00:50it up
00:00:52for Chrissy Teigen.
00:00:56Jelly Roll, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Audience, can you dig it?
00:01:10We're going to kick things off with our junior music category. Our current champion, Yair Kadar,
00:01:17has wowed us with his vocal acrobats. But tonight, he faces a tough new challenger. It's Yair Kadar
00:01:27versus Madison Lauren.
00:01:32Last week, I put on a much bigger show than I did two weeks ago.
00:01:39I had stairs, and I had fireworks, and I moved around. And singing to my mom, I literally
00:01:46was going to start bawling. She is really the reason that I got into singing.
00:01:52Tonight, you showed us you're more than just a vocalist. You're a showman.
00:01:56Yair Kadar, you are still the champion.
00:01:59I've defended my title for two weeks. Now the challenger knows they have to go at full force
00:02:05and give it all they got.
00:02:07Yair is pretty amazing, but I think I could try and do a little bit better.
00:02:12I'm Madison Lauren. I'm in fifth grade. I live in Dublin, California, and I'm a singer.
00:02:18Music is my favorite thing ever, and it's my passion.
00:02:22My favorite place to sing is Sunday Family Karaoke. We even have singing battles.
00:02:28Me and my dad are very competitive. He's like, I totally won that. And I'm like, not yet.
00:02:35I love singing so much. But before I go on stage, the nerves just kind of take over me.
00:02:42And I'm like, what if, what if I make a mistake? Oh my gosh, what if this, what if that?
00:02:46But once I start singing, the what ifs, they like fade away. And I feel confidence inside
00:02:53my heart, and I become a different person.
00:02:57I am one face off away from the finale, so I decided to sing one of the hardest songs I've
00:03:03ever sung. No pressure.
00:03:05Tonight, I'm going to pretend that it's like my karaoke parties at home, but I'm going to
00:03:09go out there and give it everything I've got.
00:03:12I'm living my dream literally every day here.
00:03:14I really don't want to wake up, so I'm going to sing from the heart and show the judges
00:03:20and the audience what I can do.
00:03:24Performing the greatest love of all, made famous by Whitney Houston.
00:03:28Make some noise for your champion, 12-year-old, Yair Kedar.
00:03:43I believe the children are future, teach them well and let them lead the way, show them all
00:03:51the beauty they possess inside.
00:03:56Give them a sense of pride to make it easier.
00:04:03Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be.
00:04:12I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows.
00:04:19If I fail, if I succeed, at least I'll live as I believe.
00:04:26No matter what they take from me, they can't take away my dignity.
00:04:33Because the greatest love of all is happening to me.
00:04:47I found the greatest love of all inside of me.
00:04:58The greatest love of all is easy to achieve.
00:05:13Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all is the greatest love of all.
00:05:24And if I chance that special place that you've been dreaming of,
00:05:36the greatest love of all, leads you to a lonely place, find your strength in love.
00:05:50Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:06:06Wow.
00:06:08Wow.
00:06:09Amazing, Yair.
00:06:10Come on over here and join the center stage.
00:06:13Voting is now open.
00:06:14For those of you watching live around the world, use your remote to give Yair Kadar one to five stars.
00:06:20Five being the best.
00:06:21You have one minute to do so.
00:06:23We're going to get right in.
00:06:24Sarah.
00:06:25I knew you were going to come to me first.
00:06:27Yair, you just proved, yes, you had a staircase and you had all of these bells and whistles last week.
00:06:33Today, you stood in that place and sung your heart out.
00:06:37Each note, that is, I can't even imagine.
00:06:44I used to sing that song in the shower and I hurt my own ears when I sang that song
00:06:47to myself.
00:06:48That, those notes, it was so beautiful and it's the best message of all.
00:06:54So, we all love you.
00:06:55That's good.
00:06:57Jelly Roll.
00:06:59I've said this from the beginning.
00:07:01I think you're one of the greatest vocalists I've heard in a long time.
00:07:04You're by far the best one on this show.
00:07:05For sure.
00:07:09There's a moment when you're performing where, this is what I've always said, is that a good performer can take
00:07:16it to the room.
00:07:17A great performer can bring the room to them and the best performers can do both at the same time.
00:07:23And you, my friend, manage to do both at the same time.
00:07:28Chrissy.
00:07:30You are such a great singer that there are parts of me that, like, when you're up there,
00:07:36it's almost like Taylor said, like, she loves to, like, over-rehearse so during the show she can have such
00:07:41a good time.
00:07:42It's almost like that because I wanna see you get that, like, raspiness and rawness in your voice just like
00:07:49Whitney did, just like,
00:07:50which is a cover, right?
00:07:51It's a cover song.
00:07:52Yeah.
00:07:53Which I had no idea about.
00:07:54But I think you have such an incredible voice and we all see it and we all know it get
00:08:00a little bit more raw for us.
00:08:02And I think it is absolute perfection.
00:08:05But, I mean, you are incredible.
00:08:07Yes, you are.
00:08:10Yeah, yeah, I have to say this.
00:08:11I have a special connection to this song.
00:08:14You know, I befriended Whitney Houston over the years, but this was the very first song that I sang at
00:08:20my sixth grade graduation.
00:08:21So you took me back to my sixth grade graduation listening to you sing this song.
00:08:27Now, we've had you here for several weeks now.
00:08:30And I've never asked what is the meaning of your name.
00:08:33Can you tell us what the meaning of your name is?
00:08:36My name, Yair, means will bring light.
00:08:40And I actually just figured out this morning that Whitney passed away 14 years ago today.
00:08:49So, I dedicate the song to her and to anybody out in the world who needs comfort if you're going
00:08:56through a hard time.
00:08:56All right.
00:09:00Well, let's get to the judges' scoring, Yair.
00:09:04Chrissy.
00:09:06I still did it.
00:09:07Five stars.
00:09:12Jelly Roll.
00:09:13What do y'all think I did?
00:09:17Sarah.
00:09:18I like to be in sync with my friends.
00:09:20Five stars.
00:09:22Five stars across the board.
00:09:24That is the second time that that's happened for young Yair.
00:09:28Now, that's half of Yair's score.
00:09:30The other half will come from you watching at home, and we'll get that score in a bit.
00:09:35But first, here is the challenger performing a million dreams from the film The Greatest Showman.
00:09:41Please welcome 11-year-old Madison Lauren.
00:09:53I close my eyes and I can see a world that's waiting up for me that I call my own.
00:10:06Through the dark, through the dark, through the dark, through where no one's been before.
00:10:13But it feels like home.
00:10:19I don't care, I don't care, so they call me crazy.
00:10:25Run away to the world that we desire.
00:10:32But every night I lie in bed.
00:10:35The brightest colors fill my head.
00:10:38A million dreams are keeping me awake.
00:10:44I think of what the world could be.
00:10:48A vision of the one I see.
00:10:51A million dreams is all it's gonna take.
00:10:57A million dreams for the worlds we're gonna make.
00:11:01We may be right, we may be wrong.
00:11:05But I wanna bring you a home.
00:11:09To the world I see.
00:11:12To the world we close our eyes to see.
00:11:16I close my eyes to see.
00:11:22I think of what the world could be.
00:11:25The brightest colors fill my head.
00:11:28A million dreams are keeping me awake.
00:11:32I think of what the world could be.
00:11:38I think of what the world could be.
00:11:39The vision of the one I see.
00:11:42A million dreams is all it's gonna take.
00:11:47For the world we're gonna make.
00:12:02For a million dreams, for the world we're gonna make.
00:12:17Madison, please come join the center stage.
00:12:20Another standing ovation from all three of our judges.
00:12:24Hopefully the people at home watching around the world
00:12:27are standing up in their living rooms as well.
00:12:30Voting is now open.
00:12:31Grab your remote and give Madison one to five stars,
00:12:34five being the best.
00:12:37Oh, okay, well, with that exasperation,
00:12:39we're going to go to you, Chrissy.
00:12:41Yes, I did.
00:12:42Is it me?
00:12:43Yes, it's you.
00:12:44Oh, my gosh.
00:12:47Good catch, Chrissy.
00:12:48Thank you very much.
00:12:49I didn't know how anybody would go up against you, Eir.
00:12:52I mean, he's been with us.
00:12:56But you are like, I'm at a loss for words.
00:12:59You are an incredible challenger.
00:13:01That was gorgeous, beautiful.
00:13:03You had the audience, all of us on our feet.
00:13:05Beautiful.
00:13:08And I see, are your parents right there?
00:13:11My parents are right over there.
00:13:13Looking at your parents made me so emotional.
00:13:15They are so proud of you, no matter what happens, okay?
00:13:20We are all so proud of you.
00:13:22Oh, holy smokes, amazing.
00:13:25Sarah.
00:13:27Wow.
00:13:27I mean, for, oh, you're going to make me cry.
00:13:30I'm with Chrissy.
00:13:31I was like, goodness, who's going to go up against him?
00:13:33Your vocals.
00:13:34I know I'm not the professional here, but those vocals were perfection.
00:13:38They were so beautiful.
00:13:41You, I could tell you were a little nervous in the beginning, so work on that.
00:13:46And that just comes with time.
00:13:48But let me tell you something, you're going to have the time because you're, no matter what
00:13:52happens, you are going to be a star.
00:13:57Jolly Row.
00:13:58Yeah.
00:13:59I'm any second away from the cry jar.
00:14:02That was, what a great host.
00:14:04Wow, we love you, Anthony.
00:14:06You're so perfect for this job.
00:14:09Seriously.
00:14:11I, I want to tell you that I think the best part of your performance was watching you
00:14:16get, like, the beginning, you were like, oh, no, this is huge.
00:14:19And then, like, you, I watched your little shoulders set down and your hands came up and
00:14:24I was like, oh, she's fixing to go.
00:14:25And from that moment forward, we all went to the church of you for, like, three minutes
00:14:30after that.
00:14:31It was unbelievable.
00:14:32And the, as a singer, I want to say, the way you got and shot that note at the end
00:14:38and
00:14:38you climbed on that cliff and then you just fell off of it and caught yourself.
00:14:42Man, that is, you said you did this for karaoke at home.
00:14:45I want you to know, I don't know what kind of karaoke parties y'all are having, but my
00:14:50whole family sounds like drunk alley cats, self-included.
00:14:53So I would love to come to one of those karaoke parties if I'm ever invited.
00:14:56You are a star, baby.
00:14:57You're a star.
00:14:58Yes, you are.
00:15:01You know, to be so small and to sing with such power on this stage, not just in front of,
00:15:07you know, this few hundred people we have here in the audience, but the millions of
00:15:10people around the world, I hope those are tears of joy that are streaming down your face
00:15:14right now.
00:15:15How do you feel about your performance tonight?
00:15:17I feel, at first, I felt very nervous.
00:15:20I felt like I just, just the feeling of being here is just so exciting and I'm so grateful
00:15:28to be here.
00:15:29And it's also very nerve-wracking, too.
00:15:33And I'm just so grateful and I'm so excited to be here tonight.
00:15:39And just thank you so much.
00:15:41Thank you so much, Lord, for giving me a chance.
00:15:44Oh, no.
00:15:45Thank you for blessing us with your talent tonight.
00:15:48And let's see how the judges blessed you with their scores.
00:15:52Chrissy.
00:15:54Five stars.
00:15:56You did something great tonight.
00:15:59Jelly Roll.
00:16:00I'm coming to karaoke, baby.
00:16:03Five.
00:16:04It only gets better.
00:16:06Sarah.
00:16:07Five for me, too.
00:16:09Five stars across the board.
00:16:13Yair, please come join us on stage.
00:16:17Wow.
00:16:19Wow.
00:16:21That's all I have to say.
00:16:22Will Yair Kadar move on to the live finale as the junior music champion, or will it be
00:16:29newcomer, Madison Lauren?
00:16:31The worldwide results are in.
00:16:36Yair, the judges gave you a total score of five stars.
00:16:41The viewers around the globe gave you
00:16:484.2 stars.
00:16:52That's the final score of
00:16:564.6 stars.
00:16:58Now, that is the score to beat.
00:17:02Madison Lauren, the judges also gave you five stars across the board.
00:17:07And now it's time for the vote from you at home.
00:17:13Madison, the world gave you
00:17:184.3 stars.
00:17:20That's the final score of
00:17:234.68 stars, which means
00:17:26Madison Lauren,
00:17:28you are the new junior music champion.
00:17:40Yair, your incredible voice is unforgettable.
00:17:44Good luck to you from here.
00:17:46I'm pretty sure we will see your name in bright lights.
00:17:50We will be sitting in seats in stadiums across the world, listening to you perform.
00:17:55Thank you, young man.
00:17:56It was a pleasure meeting you.
00:17:58Good luck to you in the future.
00:18:00Give it up for Yair Kadar.
00:18:05And, Madison, you will be moving on to the finale to compete for half a million dollars.
00:18:17Who wins next week's grand prize will be all up to you, the viewers around the world,
00:18:23as you control 100% of the results.
00:18:26One more time for this young champion right here, Madison Lauren.
00:18:31Congratulations to you.
00:18:33All right.
00:18:36Star Search is the home of champions.
00:18:39And we've got one in the building tonight.
00:18:42Make some noise for four-time World Series champion, Mookie Betts, from the Los Angeles Dodgers.
00:18:57Now, I will say this.
00:18:59He is a four-time World Series champion.
00:19:02He and his mama are not champions at spades, though.
00:19:06I own that title and that household.
00:19:09All right.
00:19:09Next up is our music group category.
00:19:12It's Horizon.
00:19:15The dominant champion of the past three weeks versus two singers.
00:19:20They're a couple and they're in love.
00:19:22It's Horizon versus Stuck in September.
00:19:34How did we do this?
00:19:36Three-week streak is insane.
00:19:39Last week's performance was definitely our most challenging one yet, but we nailed it.
00:19:45I'm so proud of what we did.
00:19:46That was your best performance to date.
00:19:49Can we just hear that, I'm going to need a ring, I'm going to need a diamond ring.
00:19:52I was like a ring, I was like a ring, I was like a diamond ring.
00:19:55I'm a wedding figure, I was like a big and shiny diamond.
00:19:57I could wave around and talk and talk about it.
00:19:59Oh my gosh, you guys.
00:19:59It was the taste of the gimmick, I got the racket of the time.
00:20:02The round from, we call that butter on a high biscuit, baby.
00:20:05Good job, baby.
00:20:08Every week has exceeded our expectations.
00:20:11And so if anything now, the pressure is, how are we going to top that one?
00:20:13For this week, we're doing a whole 180 because we're stripping it all the way back.
00:20:19And because it's a slow song, you really have to make sure that you are delivering with every single thing
00:20:25that you sing.
00:20:26I think the trick this time is to really sing to people's souls.
00:20:29It's going to set us apart from our challenger and secure our spot in the finale.
00:20:41I'm Niko.
00:20:42I'm Marissa.
00:20:43And we are...
00:20:44Second September!
00:20:48So we actually met in Nashville.
00:20:51First thing I noticed was her smile.
00:20:53She's like the biggest smile.
00:20:55She was just like a ball of light.
00:20:57We wrote a song together the next day.
00:21:00The rest is history.
00:21:01We've been going on dates, I guess.
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:04We have been dating for a few years, but we still are fairly new as a duo.
00:21:08So this is unlike anything we've ever gotten to do before.
00:21:12And we're just so excited.
00:21:14And it doesn't feel real.
00:21:15Maybe it'll feel raw.
00:21:16Yeah.
00:21:17After we've been singing on stage.
00:21:18After it's done, maybe it'll finally sink in.
00:21:22You guys have been the champion for three weeks now, but don't get too comfortable.
00:21:27Might be time for a new winner.
00:21:30Horizon's been on a three-week streak.
00:21:32But I think we have a different sort of chemistry together.
00:21:36It's time for something new.
00:21:39They're a beautiful pair.
00:21:40But we're a triple threat.
00:21:42This is our dream.
00:21:43So there's no way we're going to go down without a fight.
00:21:49Performing free by Huntrix from Netflix's animated film, K-pop Demon Hunters, your champions for
00:21:56the past three weeks.
00:21:57It's Horizon.
00:22:08I try to hide, but something broke.
00:22:12I tried to sing, couldn't hit the notes
00:22:16The words kept catching in my throat
00:22:20I tried to smile, I was suffocating though
00:22:23But here with you I can finally breathe
00:22:27You say you're no good, but you're good for me
00:22:30I've been hoping to change, now I know we can change
00:22:34But I won't if you're not by my side
00:22:39Why does it feel right, every time I let you in
00:22:43Why does it feel like, I can tell you anything
00:22:46All the secrets that keep me in chains
00:22:49And all the damage that might make me dangerous
00:22:53You got a downside, cause you're not the only one
00:22:58Fighting what we're running from
00:23:00We can't fix it if we never face it
00:23:04What if we find a way to escape it
00:23:07We could be free
00:23:11Free
00:23:13Free
00:23:14We can't fix it if we never face it
00:23:18Let the best be the best in this way
00:23:21Last time goes by and I lose perspective
00:23:25Your hope only hurts, so why just forget it
00:23:29So easy, I'm with you
00:23:31You don't see me if we can do
00:23:32I don't trust it, I want to come back to it
00:23:36Why does it feel right, I'll let you in
00:23:39Why does it feel like, I can tell you anything
00:23:42We can't fix it if we never face it
00:23:46Let the best be the best in this way
00:23:49Last time goes by and I lose
00:24:00Let the best be the best in this way
00:24:03Let the best be the best in this way
00:24:04Oh
00:24:04I mean
00:24:05What if we
00:24:09House

00:27:06Michaels please welcome Stuck in September
00:27:17I was distracted and in traffic
00:27:22Didn't feel when the earthquake happened but it really got me thinking
00:27:27Were you out drinking were you in the living room chilling watching television
00:27:32I know you know we know you weren't down for forever and it's fine
00:27:39I know you know we know we weren't meant for each other it's fine
00:27:46But if the world was ending you'd come over I'd come over and you'd save the night
00:27:54Would you love me for the hell of it all our fears would be irrelevant
00:28:00If the world was ending you'd come over right the sky'd be falling and I'd hold you tight
00:28:07And there wouldn't be a reason why we would even have to say goodbye
00:28:14If the world was ending you'd come over right right
00:28:21If the world was ending you'd come over right right
00:28:28I tried to imagine your reaction and it didn't scare me when the earthquake happened but it really got me
00:28:37kicking
00:28:37The night we went drinking and stumbled in the house and didn't make it past the mission
00:28:43I know you know we know you weren't down for forever and it's fine
00:28:50I know you know we know we weren't meant for each other and it's fine
00:28:56But if the world was ending you'd come over right
00:29:00If the world was ending you'd come over right
00:29:03If the world was ending you'd stay the night
00:29:04Would you love me for the hell of it all our fears would be irrelevant
00:29:10If the world was ending you'd come over right
00:29:14The sky'd be falling and I'd hold you tight
00:29:18And there wouldn't be a reason why we would even have to say goodbye
00:29:38If the world was ending you'd come over right
00:29:50All right
00:29:52Stuck in September, come on over
00:29:56Voting is now open
00:29:57You have one minute to vote
00:30:01You guys are so intimate
00:30:02I thought I was in your personal living room for a second
00:30:05All right jelly roll we're gonna go to you
00:30:07I felt the same way dude I felt like I was
00:30:09There was a moment I felt like I was intruding
00:30:11I felt like a peeping Tom for a second
00:30:14It was a real creepy thing happening
00:30:15When they got over to the couch I started feeling weird
00:30:18And then I had a moment where I didn't do any
00:30:20For the people at home I never researched these things
00:30:23So when they when he touched her leg I was like okay
00:30:25They're not brother and sister
00:30:26In that moment I had separated y'all as brother and sister
00:30:29Listen if y'all are y'all a couple in real life
00:30:31Yes
00:30:32I want you to know that shows
00:30:34That shows
00:30:35And uh I thought it was awesome man congratulations
00:30:37Thank you
00:30:38Thank you
00:30:41Sarah to you
00:30:43Wait me Sarah
00:30:44Uh okay I can go to the other Sarah
00:30:46I didn't know what you said
00:30:47I said Sarah to you
00:30:49Me Sarah okay sorry
00:30:50It's very loud this audience is awesome
00:30:51It's very loud sometimes it's hard to hear
00:30:53Uh I was worried when it first started
00:30:55It sounded in the beginning like you just didn't quite have the right key
00:30:58But you found it so quickly
00:30:59And I always say like that's to me
00:31:01A performance doesn't have to be perfect
00:31:02Because it shows where you can go
00:31:04And that it didn't you didn't let it get to you at all
00:31:07It's funny the same thing with jelly said
00:31:09I knew you guys were a couple
00:31:10But I don't know for some reason I didn't get it in the story
00:31:14Maybe you guys should have been farther apart from the beginning
00:31:17And then worked your way
00:31:19So it just felt like the couple was coming together
00:31:21That being said the vocals were beautiful
00:31:23And by the end I was like okay
00:31:24Sarah wanted y'all to touch
00:31:25Well maybe or maybe not
00:31:27Sarah wanted him to do more than that
00:31:29And I felt weird when I started touching
00:31:31Maybe maybe it's the opposite though
00:31:33Because sometimes you have to root to get them together
00:31:35And so maybe the key to that is being farther apart longer
00:31:38So that when you get there you understand that if this world is ending
00:31:41Like we have to be together
00:31:43That's all
00:31:44Chrissy to you
00:31:46This show is like
00:31:48If you saw me making any kind of weird faces during your performance
00:31:51It's only because this show has really like turned my world upside down
00:31:55In a way that like I am finding myself gravitating to music
00:32:00Performed by like for instance you guys
00:32:02That like I wouldn't have normally gravitated towards
00:32:04But your voices are so pure and beautiful
00:32:06And you made me want to listen to that song
00:32:08And I thought you guys coming together
00:32:10With your voices together
00:32:12I thought you guys sounded beautiful together
00:32:15The guitar is so special
00:32:16I felt like I was watching like a
00:32:17Nancy Meyers, Colleen Hoover movie
00:32:20Like you guys look like an ultimate couple
00:32:22From one of those movies right
00:32:23And I just really loved watching it
00:32:25And you have beautiful voices
00:32:26And now I'm so curious that I want to hear
00:32:28I want to hear more of that song
00:32:29And I would love to hear more of you guys
00:32:34Well we know you guys are a couple
00:32:36I just have a simple question
00:32:38Were you a couple before you became a duet?

00:32:42We've been together four years in March

00:35:22Horizon
00:35:25Next up
00:35:26It's the comedy category
00:35:28Our champion of the past three weeks looks to defend his title one more time
00:35:32It's J.R. De Guzman versus Janine Hironi
00:35:39Last week it definitely was it was hard
00:35:42We're hardest on those we love three stars
00:35:45That hurt my feelings a little bit because you can't make it to the finals with three stars
00:35:48You can't make it anywhere with three stars
00:35:50You can't get a job
00:35:51You can't apply for a loan
00:35:53You can't do nothing in this world with three stars
00:35:54I'm taking a trip home if I get another string of threes
00:35:58So desperate times call for desperate measures
00:36:02I need job security
00:36:04Let's go
00:36:06I need to host Star Search
00:36:11Oh yeah
00:36:13Looking good baby
00:36:14I know Anthony likes me
00:36:15He supports me

00:36:18Welcome to Star Search
00:36:20I'm your host
00:36:22J.R. De Guzman
00:36:25I'm your host J.R. De Guzman

00:36:46Yes
00:36:46I'm with Horizon
00:36:47It's cute that he plays an instrument
00:36:49That's
00:36:50It's really sweet
00:36:51I do comedy though
00:36:52So it's different
00:36:53Different thing
00:36:57I'm Janine
00:36:58I'm 38 years old
00:36:59And I'm originally from Staten Island, New York
00:37:01Does anybody have a remote
00:37:02I want to put something good on?
00:37:04Off stage
00:37:05I am a mom of a toddler who does not sleep
00:37:07So this is basically a vacation
00:37:09I miss my son and my husband
00:37:11But I kind of just want to get through
00:37:13So that I don't have to go home
00:37:14Hey babe
00:37:15It's been so rough
00:37:16They're
00:37:16I'm in rehearsals every day
00:37:17They're working us like dogs here
00:37:19It's nice to be away
00:37:20Can I get another daiquiri?
00:37:24If you win
00:37:25You're taking money out of a child's mouth
00:37:27JR
00:37:29I'm coming for you
00:37:30I'm gonna smash that guitar
00:37:31Janine
00:37:32You started this war
00:37:33I'm ending it
00:37:34Good luck
00:37:35Good luck
00:37:37All right
00:37:37Don't touch me
00:37:38Cool
00:37:39Okay
00:37:39Love you
00:37:41Let's hang that
00:37:46All right
00:37:47I was wondering why my dressing room smelled like tahin and horchata
00:37:51Give it up
00:37:51Give it up for the current comedy champion
00:37:53JR De Guzman
00:37:54Thank you
00:37:56Thank you guys
00:37:57Thank you
00:37:59I am the third Filipino singing act of tonight
00:38:03Surprise
00:38:03Feels like it's just a karaoke night
00:38:07You guys
00:38:08I'm a Filipino American immigrant
00:38:10And I'm super proud
00:38:11Sometimes they'll
00:38:12Thank you
00:38:12All right
00:38:14Thank you
00:38:16Sometimes people will say that being an immigrant makes you less American
00:38:20I think it makes you more American because you chose to be an American
00:38:24Yeah
00:38:24But it's situational
00:38:30You didn't let me finish
00:38:32I was in Vietnam at this war memorial tour in Ho Chi Minh City
00:38:36And the tour guide was very aggressive
00:38:37He's like Americans came here
00:38:39They bombed women and children
00:38:40They're the devils
00:38:42Where are you from?
00:38:45The Philippines
00:38:47That's crazy
00:38:48Those bad boys
00:38:49Bang bang bang
00:38:50I don't like that
00:38:52That's so crazy
00:38:54They're like
00:38:55What part of the Philippines are you from?
00:38:56I was like
00:38:56Oh no
00:38:59San Francisco
00:39:02It's an island that floated away
00:39:05But when I'm coming back to the U.S. at U.S. Customs I get nervous
00:39:08Right
00:39:09They're like
00:39:09Where are you from?
00:39:10I'm like
00:39:11America
00:39:11Baseball
00:39:12Apple pie

00:39:26Thank you
00:39:28But we get two divided men
00:39:30I want to bring us together

00:39:32She said there's something that every couple fights about
00:39:34And Valentine's Day is coming up
00:39:36So that's what this song is about
00:39:38It's to bring us together

00:43:29With me
00:43:30I need a new gig
00:43:31Absolutely
00:43:32I literally was going to say the same
00:43:33And we can do it on Netflix
00:43:35We're more safe
00:43:36I see a rush hour reboot right here
00:43:42Netflix execs are in the room by the way
00:43:44Yes they are
00:43:45And they are watching
00:43:45All right
00:43:48What a jelly
00:43:49Jelly roll
00:43:49Well I will say that was a bold choice of a song
00:43:53When two women are judges
00:43:55I'm going to poke at women not wanting to pick decisions
00:43:59And see how that works on the voting table
00:44:01We can't play it safe out here
00:44:02We can't play it safe
00:44:03No dude that's what I love about you man
00:44:04Is that you manage to touch on everything equally
00:44:08Andrew Schultz is one of my favorite humans
00:44:10One of my favorite comedians
00:44:11And he always says that anybody can get these jokes
00:44:15And I think you stand on that
00:44:17You stand on the line
00:44:17I've said it every week dude
00:44:18I just love you man
00:44:19It's hard
00:44:20You're not
00:44:20You're hard not to
00:44:21You're hard not to love
00:44:22Thank you brother
00:44:24Thanks man
00:44:25Andrew Schultz inspired me to do
00:44:27A lot of comedy the way that I do it too
00:44:29So I love that reference
00:44:30Thank you
00:44:31All right
00:44:32Well let's get to the scores
00:44:35Chrissy
00:44:35I really mean this
00:44:37I want to see you on TV
00:44:40Three stars
00:44:42Jelly roll
00:44:45Four stars
00:44:48Sarah
00:44:49We sing that song at home every night already
00:44:51Four stars
00:44:52All right
00:44:54Jelly roll
00:44:54You're all right down there big dog
00:44:56All right
00:44:57So judges average
00:44:58Yeah I know right
00:44:59We'll talk about that later
00:45:01That's a judges average of 3.6 stars
00:45:04Uh
00:45:05We'll find out what the world had to say in a bit
00:45:08But now
00:45:08Here is JR's challenger
00:45:11Janine
00:45:12Hironi
00:45:16Thank you
00:45:18Thank you very much
00:45:19It's very nice to be here
00:45:20It's nice to be back doing stand-up
00:45:22I took a little break
00:45:23Because me and my husband
00:45:24We had our first baby
00:45:28Thank you
00:45:29I shouldn't say it that way
00:45:31We didn't have a baby
00:45:32I had the baby
00:45:33I'm a god
00:45:34My husband is an ingredient
00:45:37I actually ended up having a c-section
00:45:39And I said that to my husband's friend
00:45:41And he went
00:45:42Took the easy route
00:45:43Pop that baby out the sunroof
00:45:45I was like
00:45:47Yeah I popped that baby out the sunroof
00:45:49Of a car that doesn't have a sunroof
00:45:53Because it is major abdominal surgery
00:45:55That you are awake for
00:45:56And nobody tells you this
00:45:58But after the baby comes out
00:45:59They wheel the baby away
00:46:00Your husband leaves
00:46:01And then you are left there alone
00:46:03Listening to yourself have surgery
00:46:05And because I went to a teaching hospital
00:46:07At one point
00:46:07I heard the senior doctor say
00:46:09To the junior doctor
00:46:10Now what I would have done differently there
00:46:14So I had the baby
00:46:16It's been a big few years
00:46:18We had our baby
00:46:20We got married
00:46:21I actually got married during COVID
00:46:23Which meant that we were only allowed
00:46:25To have two people at the wedding
00:46:27And I said that the other day
00:46:29And this woman went
00:46:29But you didn't get to have your dream wedding
00:46:33And I was like
00:46:33Girl my wedding cost $12
00:46:34And my parents weren't there
00:46:36That is my dream wedding
00:46:40Because we had this unconventional wedding
00:46:43But I feel like that really suited us
00:46:45Because we also had a very unconventional engagement
00:46:48Because we had been dating for seven years
00:46:50And so the month that my husband popped the question
00:46:53I knew that it was coming
00:46:54Because he was very loved up
00:46:55And also I had set him a deadline
00:46:57So I knew
00:46:59And because of that he was so annoyed
00:47:01He said now I have to do something
00:47:03To throw you off the scent
00:47:04Which is why I thought it was weird
00:47:05When he called me up one night
00:47:07I was alone in our apartment
00:47:08And he said I'm outside
00:47:09I need you to come downstairs
00:47:11I've been mugged
00:47:12And I just thought oh my god
00:47:14He's proposing
00:47:17Went downstairs
00:47:18He'd clearly been mugged
00:47:21We got back into the apartment
00:47:22He was so stressed out
00:47:24He was pacing around
00:47:25He said I can't find my headphones
00:47:26I don't know if someone stole them
00:47:28Or if I left them here
00:47:29And I said all right
00:47:30Andrew just sit down
00:47:31Play a video game
00:47:32I'll go look for your headphones
00:47:33And the first place I looked
00:47:35Was his bedside drawer
00:47:36Where I immediately found the engagement ring
00:47:39And I knew that it hadn't been there
00:47:41Earlier that day
00:47:41Because earlier that day
00:47:43I'd been looking for the engagement ring
00:47:47So I realized what had happened
00:47:49That means Andrew had been mugged
00:47:50On his way home from buying the ring
00:47:52So not only was he going to propose
00:47:54He had to fight off a mugger to do it
00:47:57I know so I did what any woman
00:47:59In my position would do
00:48:00I tried on the ring
00:48:03I sat in our room one by one
00:48:05I called all my friends and family
00:48:07Until everyone I love knew I was engaged
00:48:10Except the man I was engaged to
00:48:12And then Andrew called out
00:48:14I'm starting the video game
00:48:15If you want to play
00:48:16So I walked out
00:48:17I couldn't hide it
00:48:18I was smiling from ear to ear
00:48:20He took one look at me
00:48:21And he just went
00:48:22I know
00:48:23The graphics are unbelievable
00:48:27And I said no Andrew
00:48:28I couldn't find your headphones
00:48:30I looked everywhere
00:48:32And he said everywhere
00:48:33And I said yeah
00:48:36After the fight we were engaged
00:48:40But I like that it happened that way
00:48:42And after a while we were
00:48:43Cutted up on the couch
00:48:44And I was looking at the ring
00:48:45And Andrew said
00:48:46I guess I should call my parents
00:48:47And I said I already have
00:48:49They're so happy for us
00:48:51This has been a dream
00:48:52Thank you so much guys

00:53:50Variety category
00:53:51It's three-time champion
00:53:53T.J. Salta
00:53:55Versus a new challenger all the way from Milan, Italy
00:54:00Luca
00:54:01Catruppi
00:54:06This last performance really pushed myself to the limits
00:54:13Not only did I receive fives across the board from the judges
00:54:16Five stars
00:54:17Five stars
00:54:18Five stars
00:54:19But I received the highest overall score of the entire season
00:54:234.68 stars
00:54:27Three weeks in a row
00:54:28We're gonna have to keep upping the stakes
00:54:31This week I have something planned that the people will not see coming
00:54:36There's nothing that I will not do to show the world how much this means to me
00:54:42I gotta defend that title
00:54:44How you doing?
00:54:45Nice to meet you
00:54:46Nice to meet you
00:54:46Luca, I'm T.J.
00:54:47Do you know the magician?
00:54:49No, I'm not a magician
00:54:50No
00:54:50What do you do?
00:54:51I'm a soap bubble artist
00:54:53What?
00:54:55Sono Luca, 41 anni, da Milano, Italia
00:54:59My stage name is Sogni di Sapone
00:55:03That means dreams made of soap
00:55:07Making bubbles is definitely an unrecognized art form
00:55:13To me every bubble is a fleeting moment of beauty
00:55:18I'm a little alchemist
00:55:20Like temperature, the air humidity
00:55:23There is a lot of science behind the perfect bubble
00:55:28Everything is about chemistry
00:55:30You know the colors, the shape, the ratio between water and soap
00:55:34You have to check every single ingredient
00:55:38Smelling very good
00:55:39I'm going up against T.J.
00:55:42Stressante
00:55:43The judges watched this for three weeks now
00:55:46Look, they are tired
00:55:47They need bubbles
00:55:49Io sono qua per portare pace e bellezza
00:55:54So bubbles are for children, right?
00:55:56Wrong
00:55:57I'm here at Star Search to show the whole world the beauty of bubbles
00:56:03We are one face-off away from the finale
00:56:05I'm not letting some bubbles get in the way of me and $500,000
00:56:13Here's your current variety champion
00:56:16Make some noise for T.J. Salta
00:56:22Music was my first passion
00:56:41Thank you
00:56:45I started music lessons at the age of four
00:56:47But I was stubborn
00:56:49I didn't do my homework
00:56:51And I never actually learned to read music
00:56:53I would learn the songs I wanted to learn by ear
00:56:56Maybe some of you can resonate
00:56:57I had an ear for it
00:56:58So tonight
00:57:00I want to demonstrate that with a magical twist
00:57:04It's been four weeks
00:57:05Sarah, you have not helped me with anything
00:57:07Would you mind joining me tonight?
00:57:10Sarah, everybody
00:57:12Yeah, I got it
00:57:17Oh my goodness
00:57:18Come on up here
00:57:18I'm so honored
00:57:19I'm nervous
00:57:20Thank you so much
00:57:21You know music
00:57:22You're a dance mom yourself
00:57:24You'll see here
00:57:25I have a bunch of hit songs with me
00:57:28Rihanna, Blinding Lights, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars
00:57:31They are all different
00:57:32Okay
00:57:33These will come into play
00:57:33You will stand right next to the rose
00:57:38Do I look like I have an assistant?
00:57:39She's a natural
00:57:43He's going to want to make me disappear very soon
00:57:47So I need you to genuinely spread through
00:57:49Confirm that they are all different songs
00:57:51I need you to do that for everybody
00:57:53You can even show a little bit
00:57:54They are all different
00:57:55Oh, oh, oh
00:57:56Look, there's even a jelly roll song in here
00:57:58Yes, they are all different
00:57:59You're going to turn them face down
00:58:01Okay
00:58:01You're going to listen to your heart
00:58:02Put them in your hand as if you're dealing
00:58:03Start dealing cards face down
00:58:05Okay
00:58:06Whenever your heart says
00:58:07You're going to stop somewhere in my hands
00:58:09Just start dealing
00:58:10Oh, like this?
00:58:11Yeah, sure
00:58:11Yeah
00:58:12I'm shaking
00:58:13I'm nervous
00:58:14Okay
00:58:16This one
00:58:17Okay, you put it down
00:58:18Yeah
00:58:18On top?
00:58:19Sure
00:58:19Okay
00:58:20All right
00:58:20Do you want to change your mind?
00:58:23No
00:58:23You sure?
00:58:24Okay, go grab it
00:58:25Okay
00:58:25Put it against your chest for now
00:58:28I want people to think I'm peeking
00:58:30You're going to peek yourself
00:58:32Do you know the song?
00:58:33Don't say it, obviously
00:58:35Yes, I do
00:58:36Okay
00:58:36Can you show the audience
00:58:37Please no one say anything
00:58:39Make sure they can see
00:58:43This is the next magic act
00:58:44Where's the camera?
00:58:44There's the camera
00:58:45Okay, there you go
00:58:46We got it?
00:58:47Yes
00:58:47Okay
00:58:48This is the honor system
00:58:50Imagine all of you are driving down the road
00:58:51Especially you
00:58:52And that song comes on the radio
00:58:54It's a cool feeling
00:58:56It's weird
00:58:57Imagine sending me
00:58:59The melody of the notes
00:59:00Imagine you hear it
00:59:01Hum it only in your head
00:59:05Here we go
00:59:07It always starts with the bottom
00:59:08The bass
00:59:10No
00:59:10Okay
00:59:12Really hear it
00:59:13Just play it
00:59:18You're sending it
00:59:18Look at me for a second
00:59:19Is this
00:59:20Think of the era
00:59:22You laughed
00:59:23So I know it's a throwback
00:59:25Correct?
00:59:26Am I getting 80s?
00:59:26Yes
00:59:32The chord's next
00:59:37Melody
00:59:39That
00:59:46Okay
00:59:51Is that final countdown?
01:00:03Put me in a different category baby
01:00:05All right
01:00:08You are awesome
01:00:09This is for you
01:00:12Give her a hand one more time
01:00:13We'll go this way
01:00:15That was fun
01:00:17But that was quick
01:00:18That was quick
01:00:19Should we try one more?
01:00:21Let's try one more
01:00:22Are we standing?
01:00:23All right
01:00:23Hold on one second
01:00:24I want this to be fair
01:00:26Chrissy you
01:00:27We have music here
01:00:28You're also married
01:00:29To a literal legend
01:00:31In music
01:00:33Here's what we're gonna do
01:00:35You are not going to think of something by him
01:00:37That is way too easy
01:00:38Okay
01:00:39Okay
01:00:40You'll see a music book next to you
01:00:41And a pen
01:00:42I want you to have a song in your head
01:00:44And a second you'll write it down nice and large
01:00:46You can show Jelly and the judges only
01:00:49Don't start
01:00:50Yeah
01:00:50I'm gonna be blindfolded first
01:00:51Oh
01:00:52Yeah
01:00:53I'm not
01:00:53Oh you
01:00:54Okay
01:00:55Yeah
01:00:55I feel vulnerable
01:00:57Okay

01:00:59Let me know once you're done
01:01:10Done
01:01:11Good

01:01:17Good song
01:01:18Oh we're here
01:01:18Okay
01:01:18This is a lot harder blindfolded
01:01:21Okay
01:01:22We know it
01:01:23Chrissy I want you to hold that book tight
01:01:26Against your chest
01:01:28And same thing
01:01:29Imagine
01:01:30Imagine hearing that song
01:01:33And sending
01:01:34Is this
01:01:34Do you know the last time you heard this song?
01:01:36Do you remember?
01:01:38Uh
01:01:39Not really
01:01:40Okay
01:01:40How about you Jelly?
01:01:42Oh yeah
01:01:43Okay
01:01:43He knows
01:01:44I'm getting
01:01:46Is this before I was born?
01:01:47Is this like
01:01:49I'm 25
01:01:51Yes
01:01:52Yes
01:01:52Yes
01:01:52Okay
01:01:53It's lower though

01:01:57Yeah
01:01:58Oh it's
01:02:00Hear the melody
01:02:01Hum it in your head

01:02:14Let's beat up
01:02:15You got the chords

01:02:23Is this Bon Jovi?
01:02:25Is this

01:02:27Is this living on a prayer?
01:02:29Yes
01:02:30Can you show everybody?
01:02:32If you know it
01:02:33You better sing this thing
01:02:35Sing it
01:02:37Whoa
01:02:41What the
01:02:43What have
01:02:45Wait, come on.
01:02:50Hey, we did it.
01:02:57Give yourselves a hand.
01:02:58Come on.
01:03:02I feel like we took a trip in time tonight.
01:03:05Music is timeless, so I want to leave you all with something you'll never forget.
01:03:16We got it!
01:03:19We got it!
01:03:25Hold on.
01:03:36I didn't forget about you.
01:03:41I don't know!
01:03:43What?
01:03:50How in the hell did you do that?
01:03:55T.J., come on up around the stage.
01:03:57Voting around the world is now open.
01:04:00You have one minute.
01:04:07Now, that is amazing.
01:04:10She was on the floor.
01:04:11What in the...
01:04:14Wow.
01:04:16I want to, like, replay my life again.
01:04:18Okay.
01:04:19Okay.
01:04:20Sarah, we're going to go to you.
01:04:22You know, first of all, I can't wait to see you dance with Movement 55 next week, because I feel
01:04:27like that's coming.
01:04:28Because there's nothing you can't do.
01:04:30Woo!
01:04:30I...
01:04:32You're...
01:04:32Honestly, like, I was watching it, and I was there.
01:04:35I have no idea how you do it.
01:04:37I'm like, okay, but is the audience invested?
01:04:39Is it...
01:04:39And then, boom, you're just over there!
01:04:41How?
01:04:42How?
01:04:43I don't know.
01:04:44I don't know.
01:04:45I'm very stressed.
01:04:46I don't know.
01:04:46Chrissy.
01:04:48I apologize for the swearing.
01:04:50Do not swear, kids.
01:04:52My kids are here.
01:04:52I'm sorry.
01:04:54My mind is blown.
01:04:55As I said, I, like, I would give anything to just...
01:04:58Rewind that.
01:04:58To rewind it in my eyes, like, on Black Mirror, when they can rewind it, like, five minutes.
01:05:02I don't understand.
01:05:03I don't understand.
01:05:04I want to see it again.
01:05:05I'm going to go home and watch this.
01:05:07Me too.
01:05:07And that's all I have to say.
01:05:11That's so weird.
01:05:12To the man who's afraid of magic and magicians.
01:05:15Jelly Roll.
01:05:16He's going to slap me.
01:05:17I don't like it.
01:05:18I don't like it.
01:05:20Oh!
01:05:22I just...
01:05:23The difference...
01:05:24We were watching you the whole time.
01:05:26We watched the bag go on the head.
01:05:27We watched...
01:05:28And even then, I'm going to be honest, because I love you, and I've known you for four weeks now,
01:05:31and I feel like we're friends.
01:05:32About halfway through the Living on a Prayer song, I was like, man, this is probably the weakest performance he's
01:05:38had.
01:05:38I was like, you know what I mean?
01:05:39I was like, this is karaoke night.
01:05:43I was like, what's happening here?
01:05:44Yeah, what's going on?
01:05:44And then, in one second, you literally blew my mind.
01:05:50Dude, listen.
01:05:51Listen.
01:05:55Where I'm from, where I'm from, we would say you were slicker than a greasy pig at the county fair,
01:06:02baby.
01:06:02That's what we would say.
01:06:03You were incredible.
01:06:05Are there two of you?
01:06:06I already asked that.
01:06:07I already asked if he has a twin.
01:06:08He doesn't.
01:06:08When he touched me, I told him, don't touch him.
01:06:10I already asked.
01:06:10It was weird.
01:06:12That, TJ, that was mind-boggling, man.
01:06:15I'm backstage looking at everything.
01:06:17You did it in rehearsal today.
01:06:19I went back to see the trickery, to see what I could find, and I couldn't find anything.
01:06:23It's just truly amazing what you do and what you've been doing here week in and week out, man.
01:06:28So I commend you for that.
01:06:30Let's go to the scores and see what the judges are giving you.
01:06:33That's so fun, man.
01:06:37What a rush.
01:06:38So fun.
01:06:38Five stars.
01:06:43Jelly Roll.
01:06:44I was so scared, I hit the wrong button and gave him four stars.
01:06:50I was still shaking, Anthony.
01:06:52He does shake.
01:06:54Sarah.
01:06:54I can't believe this is happening.
01:06:56Five.
01:06:57Okay.
01:06:59That's a judge.
01:07:00Average score of 4.6 stars.
01:07:04TJ's viewers' scores are in.
01:07:06Will his winning streak be for our fourth week, or will his challenger take his title and move on to
01:07:14our live grand finale?
01:07:15We'll find out in just a bit, but first, it's time for his challenger, Luca.
01:07:21K-Truppi.
01:07:28Give me, give me, give me some time to think.
01:07:31I'm in the bathroom looking at me.
01:07:33Facing the mirror is all I need.
01:07:37Wait until the reaper takes my life.
01:07:39Never gonna get me out alive.
01:07:41I will live a thousand million lives.
01:07:44My patience is waning.
01:07:47Is this entertaining?
01:07:49My patience is waning.
01:07:52Is this entertaining?
01:07:54My patience is waning.
01:08:05Is this entertaining?
01:08:06My patience is waning.
01:08:30Is this entertaining?
01:08:31My patience is waning.
01:08:34My patience is waning.
01:08:34Is this entertaining?

01:08:39When I'm losing my control
01:08:41That's this magic in my bones
01:08:44In my body, I, I
01:08:46Got this feeling in my soul
01:08:48Go ahead and blow your stars
01:08:50That's this magic in my bones
01:08:58That's this magic in my bones
01:09:01The mirror of my mind
01:09:03Turning the pages of my life
01:09:05Walking the past so many
01:09:06Paced a million times
01:09:08Drone up the voices in the air
01:09:11Leaving the ones that never cared
01:09:13Picking the pieces up and build into the sky
01:09:17My patience is waning
01:09:20Is this entertaining?
01:09:22My patience is waning
01:09:24Is this entertaining?
01:09:26I, I, I
01:09:28Got this feeling in my soul
01:09:30When I'm losing my control
01:09:32That's this magic in my bones
01:09:34I, I, I
01:09:36Got this feeling in my soul
01:09:38So do I stand to throw you in my bones
01:09:41Notice this magic in my bones
01:09:43I, I, I, I, I

01:10:10Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Luka.
01:10:12Luka, come join me center stage.
01:10:15Viewers around the globe, voting is now open.
01:10:18Give Luka one to five stars, five being the best.
01:10:23Jelly Roll, we're going to come to you first.
01:10:25Oh, sorry, sorry.
01:10:26My bubble blower's not working, Anthony.
01:10:29We don't know how to do it.
01:10:29I think we're not working.
01:10:30Whoa!
01:10:31Well, you're not the bubble man.
01:10:32Listen, I am not the bubble...
01:10:33I'm learning something here, though.
01:10:35I will tell you, every other show in the world
01:10:40that says they're a variety show
01:10:41that has never had a bubble blower is a lie.
01:10:44This is the coolest thing you could do.
01:10:47It's incredible.
01:10:50Big fan of the bubbles, man.
01:10:52Big fan of the bubbles.
01:10:52I don't know what to say.
01:10:53I've never said that was the...
01:10:58Sarah, we're going to go to you now.
01:10:59It's very hard to give us props.
01:11:01We're like five-year-olds when you get a prop.
01:11:04First of all, I'm probably too old for this,
01:11:06but I want to be at a rave with you.
01:11:08Like, I want to be at a club, at night,
01:11:11dancing in bubbles.
01:11:13When you said you see bubbles as art,
01:11:15I was like, okay, it's bubbles.
01:11:17You made art on stage.
01:11:19It really was.
01:11:20Could you imagine how much mushrooms...
01:11:26Dude, as a mom,
01:11:28I'm on the L.A.
01:11:30Beautiful.
01:11:32I go to carnivals, events all the time.
01:11:36I know you do too, Sarah, here.
01:11:37And there is a bubble guy at every event
01:11:40or a bubble lady,
01:11:41and they do the same old thing.
01:11:43And when you did even just the smoke alone,
01:11:45I was like, wow,
01:11:46like that would kill at those kid carnivals.
01:11:48But when you did all that,
01:11:50I'm telling you,
01:11:51whether you go anywhere after this or not,
01:11:53you would be a multi-millionaire
01:11:56in the Los Angeles kid party scene.
01:11:59I...
01:12:02I'm not kidding.
01:12:03I am going to start following you right now,
01:12:05and I would love for you to do our school gala.
01:12:11Well, Luca,
01:12:12if you don't become the next star on Star Search,
01:12:15Chrissy has gigs lined up for you.
01:12:18All right, well,
01:12:19let's speak about the scores.
01:12:22It was really so beautiful.
01:12:22Are we going to vote?
01:12:23Yeah, we're going to vote.
01:12:24Oh, there's the music, okay.
01:12:25Yeah, there it is.
01:12:26It's to you, Chrissy.
01:12:28Three stars!
01:12:30Jelly roll.
01:12:32I think that this is actually
01:12:33our last time voting on this show.
01:12:36Oh, it is?
01:12:37Four stars!
01:12:38Oh, jelly!
01:12:40Sarah.
01:12:41I was so happy,
01:12:42and now jelly depressed me.
01:12:44Three stars.
01:12:46All right!
01:12:46That means your judge average score
01:12:48is 3.3 stars.
01:12:50TJ, please join us on stage.
01:12:56Will TJ Salta be the variety champion
01:12:59for a fourth straight week,
01:13:01or will Luca Catruppi
01:13:04move on to the next week's finale?
01:13:07Here we go.
01:13:08The worldwide results are in.
01:13:12TJ,
01:13:14the judges gave you
01:13:15a total score
01:13:16of 4.6 stars
01:13:19because
01:13:19Jelly Roll was so excited
01:13:21he missed up
01:13:22what he wanted to vote
01:13:24and voted something else.
01:13:25But the global vote
01:13:26counts for half of your score,
01:13:28so TJ Salta,
01:13:28the viewers around the world,
01:13:30gave you
01:13:36four and a half stars.
01:13:39That's a final score of
01:13:454.6 stars.
01:13:47That is the score to beat.
01:13:51Luca,
01:13:52the judges gave you
01:13:533.3 stars.
01:13:55So have you defeated the champ,
01:13:59or will TJ be back
01:14:01in the finale?
01:14:03Luca,
01:14:04the world gave you
01:14:083.1 stars.
01:14:10That's a final score of
01:14:113.22 stars,
01:14:14which means
01:14:15TJ Salta,
01:14:17you are still
01:14:18the variety champion.
01:14:24And even if
01:14:26Jelly Roll made that mistake,
01:14:27it wouldn't have
01:14:27changed anything,
01:14:28but I want to say,
01:14:29Luca,
01:14:29keep creating those dreams
01:14:31made of soap.
01:14:32Give it up for Luca.
