00:00:51So, we'll never let you go this time. I said you, I'll learn about lies. Oh, I can't sleep until
00:01:06I'm in your touch.
00:01:08Hey, hey, hey.
00:01:18Hey, hey, hey
00:01:21Hey, hey, hey
00:01:33One night, one night
00:01:37No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
00:01:41I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the light
00:01:48No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
00:02:17These talented performers are about to go live for your vote.
00:02:21Let's give them a big round of applause.
00:02:28Hello, Netflix, a.k.a. the whole world.
00:02:32I'm Anthony Anderson, and tonight we begin a five-week live event to discover the new stars of tomorrow.
00:02:39On Star Search, we feature talent of every kind.
00:02:42The contestants will go head-to-head in categories like music, dance, comedy, and variety.
00:02:48Ultimately, in our finale, one of these contestants will be crowned Star Search champion and take home half a million
00:02:57dollars.
00:03:00We're live from Los Angeles with this two-night premiere.
00:03:06Thankfully, I'm not alone in this.
00:03:09She's an Emmy award-winning actress, an iconic vampire slayer, and has an interesting history with Star Search.
00:03:19She's Sarah Michelle Gellar.
00:03:27She's a model, best-selling author, and a cultural tastemaker.
00:03:32Put your hands together for Chrissy Teigen.
00:03:41And he's the man with a powerful story and an even more powerful voice.
00:03:46Make some noise for Jelly Roll.
00:04:10Along with our illustrious judges, you at home will help decide who stays and who goes.
00:04:17And we have something really cool on Star Search.
00:04:20You only need your remote to vote.
00:04:23We have real-time global voting, and as long as you're watching us live, you can vote from wherever you
00:04:29are in the world.
00:04:31You'll select how many stars you want to give a performance because you at home are the fourth judge.
00:04:37Now, here's your practice round of voting.
00:04:39Below, you'll see an example question.
00:04:42How many stars would you give my suit?
00:04:46You have one minute to vote while I'll chat with the judges.
00:04:50Now, Jelly Roll, what attracted you to being a judge here on Star Search?
00:04:55Well, unfortunately, I'm no stranger to being judged.
00:04:58So I figured it'd be cool to flip the script around.
00:05:01But honestly, I'm here because this is global.
00:05:03It's live on Netflix.
00:05:04I believe we are going to see a real star.
00:05:07My life was changed in a way that I could have never even prayed for.
00:05:09God bless me in a way I never imagined.
00:05:11I think it's going to happen to somebody else.
00:05:13We're going to see it right here, baby.
00:05:14That's why we're all here.
00:05:17Now, Sarah, I playfully talked about your Star Search journey.
00:05:21Tell everybody what happened and what it's like to be back.
00:05:24Sort of.
00:05:25Sort of.
00:05:26Well, I auditioned for Star Search in its original incarnation, but I didn't make it on the show.
00:05:32So, but don't be sad for me.
00:05:34Look, I'm here.
00:05:35I made it.
00:05:36I'm here.
00:05:38Revenge is mine.
00:05:40Exactly.
00:05:41Now, Chrissy, you have a track record of keeping it real in life and on TV.
00:05:47A little bit.
00:05:48How real do you plan on keeping it on Star Search?
00:05:51I feel good about this.
00:05:52I'm going to keep it 100% real.
00:05:53I've got to be reflective of the audience, right?
00:05:55Okay.
00:05:57Okay.
00:05:57Okay.
00:06:01What's this right here?
00:06:02Oh, the worldwide results are in.
00:06:05You gave my suit four stars.
00:06:09Okay.
00:06:10Okay.
00:06:11I was aiming for five, but I'll take four.
00:06:13Now, if anyone had trouble on your TV or mobile device, make sure you update to the latest Netflix app.
00:06:20Any other questions?
00:06:21Go to netflix.com slash voting because I'm done explaining.
00:06:25I have a show to host.
00:06:26All right?
00:06:27Audience, are you ready to get started?
00:06:36Some of the world's biggest music stars like Britney Spears, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, and Usher started out here on Star
00:06:47Search as kids.
00:06:48So, what better way to kick this thing off than with our junior music category?
00:06:54We've got two incredibly talented young singers who are about to face off.
00:06:59Let's meet Eric, Adrian Williams, and Blair Koudelka.
00:07:11I'm Eric.
00:07:12And I'm Blair.
00:07:13Nice to meet you.
00:07:15How old are you?
00:07:16I'm 10.
00:07:17You're 10?
00:07:18Yeah.
00:07:19You look like Annie.
00:07:21My name is Eric.
00:07:23I am 10 years old.
00:07:31Wow.
00:07:33So, living in Atlanta, Georgia, it's a very great place.
00:07:38I go to New York sometimes because I'm on Broadway.
00:07:41But when I go back to Atlanta, I'm just a normal kid.
00:07:45They said we'd never make it.
00:07:47We're on Star Search.
00:07:49So cool.
00:07:50I do love being on Broadway and being on the stage.
00:07:54On Broadway, I have to do a lot of dancing.
00:07:58I have to do a lot of singing.
00:08:01It was the coolest thing I've ever done.
00:08:04Except now because I'm on Star Search.
00:08:08What type of music do you do?
00:08:10I sing country.
00:08:13The reason why I love country music so much is the stories behind it.
00:08:17People personally connecting on their life.
00:08:20It's why Shakespeare could have been a country music artist.
00:08:25Hi, y'all.
00:08:26I'm Blair.
00:08:27I'm 10 years old.
00:08:28And I'm in the fourth grade from a small town in Texas.
00:08:31Fun fact is that when I was eight years old, I played young Dolly at Dollywood.
00:08:36And that was amazing for me.
00:08:37I just think she's just such a great role model.
00:08:40And it's such a great storyteller.
00:08:43And number one, she's also the queen.
00:08:45Do I have your attention?
00:08:49I know my challenger was Flair.
00:08:52We're going against each other.
00:08:53And I think that's very funny.
00:08:57I hope he does good.
00:08:59But I hope I do a little bit better.
00:09:06I truly believe that just because we're little kids doesn't mean that we can't set goals to ourselves and chase
00:09:13our dreams.
00:09:15I know it's called Star Search, but you found him right here.
00:09:18Ready to hit that stage.
00:09:25Performing, I'll be there.
00:09:27Put your hands together for 11-year-old Eric Adrian Williams.
00:09:43And you and I must make a pact.
00:09:50We must bring salvation back.
00:09:54Where there is love.
00:09:59I'll be there.
00:10:06I'll reach out my hand to you.
00:10:12Now have faith in all you do.
00:10:17Just call my name and I'll be there.
00:10:28I'll be there to comfort you.
00:10:32Feel my world, the dreams around you.
00:10:35I'm so glad that I found you.
00:10:38I'll be there with a love so strong.
00:10:43I'll be astray.
00:10:46Now keep holding on.
00:10:52Holding on.
00:10:55If you should ever find someone new.
00:11:00I know he better be good to you.
00:11:06But if he doesn't, I'll be there.
00:11:14Don't you know, baby, yeah, yeah.
00:11:18I'll be there.
00:11:23I'll be there.

00:25:34perform the same it's pushing the limits of what contemporary movement can be this is everything
00:25:40we're so passionate about you know like we've dedicated so much time sacrifice from our family
00:25:45to our friends we're here to show people who we are and this is our moment yeah
00:25:52we are a girl group from france and we are our name it's a mix between ladies because obviously
00:26:02we are a group of ladies but also we are dancing a lot of geometric kind of shapes we do
00:26:0813 30
00:26:10is a dance style mostly using our arms to create perfect angles we have to be perfection no pressure
00:26:27this could be a make or break
00:26:32i feel like dancers have a competitive nature whoever says dance is not a sport trust me
00:26:37it is a sport we are working we are really confident to be against movement 55
00:26:47we're good and actually we're not scared of them i think that they should be scared of us yeah
00:26:55we're here to win and we're taking names where we're we're not losing so we'll give them everything
00:27:00we got ladies and gentlemen please welcome movement 55
00:27:35let's go
00:27:37So, you know, if you know I'm the missing piece to the person.
00:27:40I saw up this wicked funk, keepin' me, on the double's palm.
00:27:44I saw up this wicked funk, keepin' me, on the double's palm.
00:27:48I'm the one.
00:27:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:27:56I'm the one.
00:27:57I'm the one who's paying the position.
00:27:59And I just do the hands of a shit.
00:28:01You break it, I make it to hit the man.
00:28:04And then they're trying to track me to hell.
00:29:05Oh goodness, go to me first, of course.
00:29:07Okay, so little known fact about me.
00:29:10Sorry, this is live television because I have to put my vote in.
00:29:14Okay, I'm putting it in.
00:29:15I can talk and do, I can chew gum at the same time.
00:29:17Little known fact about me, I'm a dance mom.
00:29:19My daughter is a competitive dancer.
00:29:21Yeah, so I absolutely love dance.
00:29:24And my favorite parts of the dance were when you guys were in sync.
00:29:27When you guys were doing the choreo at the same time, it was just magic.
00:29:31I mean, you all moved at the same time.
00:29:35Also, I have to say your leaps.
00:29:38They were so beautiful and so elongated and beautiful pointed toes.
00:29:42And that is not easy.
00:29:44So I was very impressed.
00:29:47I really enjoyed it.
00:29:49Jelly roll.
00:29:51Well, a little known fact about me, Sarah, is that I don't know anything about dancing.
00:29:56I am so not qualified to be judging any kind of movement.
00:29:59I just got skinny enough to kind of move myself and I'm still fat.
00:30:03You look great.
00:30:03But thank you.
00:30:04And I feel good, Chris.
00:30:05Thank you, ladies.
00:30:06This is more, please.
00:30:08One more time.
00:30:09One more.
00:30:09No, no, no.
00:30:11All jokes.
00:30:11All jokes.
00:30:12But I will say, I thought it was incredible.
00:30:14I was moved from the moment.
00:30:15I couldn't take my eyes off of y'all.
00:30:17I was scared at times.
00:30:18I don't know if that's normal, but I was worried.
00:30:20When they grabbed the head and went to twist, I was like, that could go wrong.
00:30:24I was like, that's dangerous.
00:30:25That's dangerous stuff.
00:30:27So, I mean, I'm all in.
00:30:29I am instantly wanting to know more.
00:30:30I believe that music is the soundtrack of the soul, and I believe what y'all do is correlated.
00:30:35So, y'all are the dancers of the spirit, and I was good to see, man.
00:30:38Thank y'all.
00:30:39Oh, God.
00:30:41Chrissy.
00:30:42I mean, I also am a dance mom, but my kids are, like, not like you guys.
00:30:48No offense to my children who are watching.
00:30:50Are you different from your kids on TV?
00:30:51No, they're great.
00:30:53They love what they do.
00:30:55But you guys, I agree.
00:30:57I could not take my eyes off of you because there were so many, each of you had such a
00:31:03different role in the dance, and you each got to shine, and every time you got to shine,
00:31:08I was just so captivated by it.
00:31:10It was so beautiful.
00:31:11I mean, you're incredible.
00:31:12It seems like you guys have been together for a very, very long time.
00:31:16I'm not sure how long you have been together, but you fit together, like, these beautiful
00:31:20puzzle pieces, and it just made for a great, like, soulful, even though there was, you know,
00:31:24you weren't singing or anything, to me it was, like, a soulful, beautiful performance.
00:31:28So, thank you so much.
00:31:30Yeah, very great performance up there.
00:31:32Now, Movement 55.
00:31:35I only count eight of you.
00:31:37Where are the other 47?
00:31:40No, no.
00:31:41How do you feel about the judges' comments about you on stage tonight?
00:31:45It was so nice, like, hearing from all of you and, like, letting us use your eyes for our dance.
00:31:49It means the most to have, like, such positive feedback, and we've been working so hard,
00:31:54so we're glad we got to show you guys what we can do.
00:31:57All right.
00:31:59It's time to get the judges' scores.
00:32:02Chrissy.
00:32:04Four stars.
00:32:07Jelly Roll.
00:32:08I feel like I know more than I thought I did.
00:32:10I gave them four stars, yeah.
00:32:11Okay.
00:32:12Sarah.
00:32:13And I, too, gave you four stars.
00:32:15All right.
00:32:15All fours across the board.
00:32:17What a way to start.
00:32:19The viewer votes are in, and we'll see how the world scored your performance soon.
00:32:23But now, we must meet your competitor.
00:32:26They are a remarkable dance crew from Paris, France.
00:32:29Please put your hands together for Lady Metri.
00:32:56We'll see you next time.
00:33:08We'll see you next time.
00:34:34Fantastic job.
00:34:35And for you at home, voting is now open.
00:34:38Remember, you guys at home are the fourth judge.
00:34:43Speaking of judges, Chrissy?
00:34:46I mean, this is, I could see you in the most beautiful music video.
00:34:52Like visually, it's just like outstanding what you can do.
00:34:54I don't even know how you do the choreography for something like that, but it was so beautiful.
00:34:59I especially, I especially loved the end where the arms were glowing.
00:35:03I almost wish you were just glowing from the very beginning because it was so poignant to see those movements
00:35:08with that like black light and glowing.
00:35:10It was so beautiful.
00:35:11You guys are incredibly talented people.
00:35:15I'm just like, I'm blown away by what you're able to do because I could never.
00:35:25I could never.
00:35:31I could never.
00:35:43I could never.
00:35:45I could never.
00:35:46You've had to look at people.
00:35:46I could use the regular girls in dance and become dance dads.
00:35:49We can hear about Fanones Moms, we could have some more dance dads.
00:35:52And then I want to tell you that I am hardly coordinated enough to do the rub
00:35:56the tummy and pat the head thing.
00:35:57So when I was watching y'all in complete synchronization and then syncopation, too,
00:36:02with the timing, it was special.
00:36:04I mean, I was already captivated when y'all pulled up with your own set of bleachers.
00:36:07I thought this, I knew something really cool was finna happen.
00:36:10And y'all just, every time I thought this show couldn't get any better, you would take it one step
00:36:15further.
00:36:15And you could tell y'all put a lot of time into that, ladies, and be proud of yourself at
00:36:18shows.
00:36:22Sarah.
00:36:23First of all, I love a hat moment.
00:36:24That's like my dream, to be able to, you know, sort of have that, which I loved.
00:36:28And it's interesting to see you guys standing up, made me realize now how difficult that was.
00:36:34Because you think about the Rockettes, right?
00:36:35And they do those kicks, but they're all the same height.
00:36:37Like, you have to fit into a mold.
00:36:39And you guys are all, your arm lengths are so different.
00:36:42But to make it look that just beautiful and in sync is really incredible.
00:36:46And I didn't even realize it until afterwards.
00:36:49The only thing I would say is more.
00:36:52I want more.
00:36:53Like, bigger.
00:36:54I love the ending.
00:36:56Give me more.
00:36:57All right.
00:36:58Uh, Lady Metri, what did you think about the judges' comments?
00:37:03But before you answer, I have something I'd like to say to you.
00:37:06Uh, reflections sur la commentaire de juge.
00:37:09Oh!
00:37:11Y'all didn't think I had that in my bag, did you?
00:37:14Hi.
00:37:15So, first of all, thank you so much for your positive feedback.
00:37:18It means a lot to us.
00:37:20Uh, we are very happy and proud of ourselves tonight, yeah.
00:37:24Because, you know, we are from France.
00:37:27And we train a lot to be here tonight.
00:37:31And it means a lot to us to be able to debut on a global show like this.
00:37:35So, yeah.
00:37:36Thank you so much.
00:37:37Well, welcome.
00:37:40Judges, let's hear your scores.
00:37:43Chrissy?
00:37:44Three stars.
00:37:47Jelly Roll.
00:37:48Four stars.
00:37:50Sarah?
00:37:51Three stars.
00:37:54Thank you, Judges.
00:37:56Movement 55, please come join us on stage.
00:38:05Now is the moment where it all gets real because the worldwide results are in.
00:38:14Movement 55.
00:38:16Our three judges gave you a total score of four stars.
00:38:21But that's not all that matters.
00:38:23Let's see what the fourth judge, the viewers around the world, gave you.
00:38:293.3 stars.
00:38:32That gives you a combined final score of...
00:38:383.6 stars.
00:38:403.6 stars is the score to beat.
00:38:44Let's see what your competitor, Lady Metri, received.
00:38:47Lady Metri, the judges just gave you guys a 3.3 star.
00:38:53The viewers around the world gave you 3.6 stars.
00:39:01Combined, that's a final score of...
00:39:073.4 stars, which means Movement 55.
00:39:13You are the winner of the dance champion.
00:39:18Lady Metri, great work.
00:39:20Thank you very much.
00:39:21Thank you very much for coming on to the show.
00:39:27Movement 55, congratulations.
00:39:30How do you all feel?
00:39:31Guys, how do we feel?
00:39:32Amazing!
00:39:35Well, we will see you next week, Movement 55,
00:39:38where you will take on your first challenger to defend your dance title.
00:39:43Enjoy the rest of your evening.
00:39:47Judges, you've crowned two champions tonight.
00:39:49All right, we've got two more head-to-heads coming up.
00:39:52Now, the other day when the judges and I all got together,
00:39:56we learned something we didn't expect about Jelly Roll.
00:39:59Take a look.
00:40:00No.
00:40:01Do you guys have a category you're most excited for?
00:40:05No.
00:40:05Oh.
00:40:06I love comedy.
00:40:07Yeah.
00:40:07Comedy and magic for me, I think.
00:40:09Well, I got to confess something, though.
00:40:12What's that?
00:40:12I don't know if I should say this or not, but...
00:40:14Say it.
00:40:15Magic creeps me out.
00:40:17That's fair.
00:40:18That's fair.
00:40:18So, you know, I'm not weird.
00:40:20I just got anxiety.
00:40:22Have you ever been to a haunted house?
00:40:24Magic.
00:40:24You know the feeling you get, like, going into a haunted house,
00:40:27that little stomach feeling you get?
00:40:28Magic.
00:40:30I get that feeling when magicians come around.
00:40:32You know what I'm saying?
00:40:34I got...
00:40:35I literally got anxiety the more I thought about there being a magic.
00:40:39Doesn't scare you a little bit?
00:40:40I don't know, man.
00:40:41I'm just...
00:40:42Magic's a...
00:40:42It's scary.
00:40:45Magic.
00:40:45What if you have to pull the card?
00:40:47What if you ask for a volunteer?
00:40:49That's why I'm coming to y'all as friends.
00:40:50That's why I'm coming to y'all as friends.
00:40:52And confidence early in this show.
00:40:54It's like, hey, if it starts getting weird with the magic...
00:40:57Did you ever see me roll off the stage?
00:40:59Know that a magician is here.
00:41:03Lock the doors.
00:41:04We don't want Jelly rolling out of the building during our next performance
00:41:08because it's time to make some magic with our next competition
00:41:11in our variety category.
00:41:13It's time to meet TJ Salta and Fernando Velasco.
00:41:24The feeling that you get from getting a reaction out of somebody else
00:41:28is the true magic.
00:41:29I am all about high adrenaline and magic.
00:41:32I like the excitement.
00:41:33I like feeling the energy on stage.
00:41:36Anything could happen.
00:41:38My name is TJ Salta.
00:41:40I'm 24 years old.
00:41:41I'm from Las Vegas, and I'm a professional magician.
00:41:44We're doing this.
00:41:45I performed close-up, sleight of hand, and mentalism.
00:41:49My name is Fernando Velasco.
00:41:51I'm a mago, illusionist, and escapista.
00:41:53And I'm incredibly excited to be here on Star Search,
00:41:55the biggest stage in the world.
00:41:56What do you say, my people?
00:41:59Come on!
00:42:02Magic definitely snuck up on me in high school.
00:42:04Lacrosse was everything, but one game, my hip popped out.
00:42:09That injury completely helped reshape and shift my path to find magic.
00:42:15I went from performing for free in ice cream shops
00:42:19to making history as the youngest magician to ever headline the Las Vegas Strip.
00:42:23I've been blessed to perform for celebrities, even some of my idols.
00:42:28Shin Lim, Kevin Hart.
00:42:30Copperfield came there at one point.
00:42:31I peed myself a little bit, but it was awesome.
00:42:34When I was 11, my dad, he introduced me to magic.
00:42:38We moved to the U.S., and he found the magic castle,
00:42:42became a busboy, and has been working there literally ever since.
00:42:46All of the best magicians in the world performed there.
00:42:49The moment I walked in through that secret bookshelf door,
00:42:52I was just instantly bitten by the bug and found a passion.
00:42:57I just like to give my everything.
00:42:59Body, soul, sweat, tears, you will have it all.
00:43:03I performed on many big stages throughout my career,
00:43:07but this is the first time that the world is my stage.
00:43:11I think the little boy 15 years ago
00:43:14would not be able to believe what I'm doing today.
00:43:18I just need the pie roll.
00:43:31Jelly Roll, it's the magical moment you've been waiting for
00:43:34to kick off the variety competition from Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:43:38It's T.J. Salta.
00:43:45They say that music, music is the universal language.
00:43:56No matter where you're from, what language you speak,
00:43:58what your culture is, it's something that connects all of us.
00:44:01I think magic is also a universal language,
00:44:04and I want to demonstrate that connection tonight.
00:44:08All of you right now should have a paper and a pen.
00:44:12Think about your favorite music artist of all time.
00:44:16Write them nice and large on that paper.
00:44:18Do that now.
00:44:20Now, when you're done writing,
00:44:24you're going to hold that paper high into the air
00:44:26so we can see all those names.
00:44:28Uh-huh.
00:44:30There we go.
00:44:30I got Prince.
00:44:32Jelly, I see your name out there a couple times.
00:44:35There we go.
00:44:36So I want you to take that paper.
00:44:38You will see an envelope in front of you.
00:44:40Drop that paper into the envelope.
00:44:44Take that envelope.
00:44:46Close it up.
00:44:49In a second, we're going to have a chance to mix these envelopes up.
00:44:53Music's going to start.
00:44:54It's going to be like hot potato.
00:44:55You're going to mix them like crazy.
00:44:57Ready?
00:45:00Go.
00:45:01Mix them.
00:45:02Yep, to the right, to the left.
00:45:04Come on.
00:45:04There we go.
00:45:05Behind you in front.
00:45:06Keep going.
00:45:06There we go.
00:45:07It's crazy.
00:45:09Hey, stop.
00:45:09You're the magic.
00:45:10All right.
00:45:11I thought you snagged that.
00:45:13Whatever envelope you have, take it.
00:45:15Put it under your booty for later.
00:45:18For this demonstration,
00:45:20I would love the help from one of our judges tonight.
00:45:23Chrissy, would you mind joining me on stage?
00:45:26Show Chrissy something up.
00:45:27Come on.
00:45:28Come on up here.
00:45:30There you go.
00:45:32Oh, my goodness.
00:45:35Okay.
00:45:42How are you?
00:45:43So nice, of course.
00:45:43That's a gentleman right there.
00:45:45Isn't it?
00:45:45He does it every time.
00:45:46He's so kind.
00:45:47He's so kind.
00:45:47He's glad he's here.
00:45:48Okay.
00:45:48There we go.
00:45:49Oh, I love magic.
00:45:50There is one object that connects everyone here in this room, even to those watching at
00:45:55home live, which is our cell phones.
00:45:58So right now, everybody take your cell phones out.
00:46:00Even at home, for those watching, take them out.
00:46:03We're going to connect with you at home and open your calculators.
00:46:06Judges, you can do that as well.
00:46:07Now, to make this completely random, we're going to use an object that is very scientific.
00:46:17Yes.
00:46:18Chrissy, this is for you.
00:46:20Right.
00:46:20You're going to toss that into the audience.
00:46:22Whoever catches it is going to stand up.
00:46:24Oh, gosh.
00:46:25Oh, gosh.
00:46:25They want it.
00:46:26Go.
00:46:27Woo.
00:46:27All right.
00:46:28Go.
00:46:29Stand up.
00:46:29You've got to take it right there.
00:46:30He was ready.
00:46:31He's got it.
00:46:32Damn.
00:46:33Right there.
00:46:36Nice and loud.
00:46:37Can you name me your favorite year of music?
00:46:40My favorite year?
00:46:41Favorite year.
00:46:431987.
00:46:43Everyone.
00:46:44There we go.
00:46:45Everybody here and at home.
00:46:471987.
00:46:47Put that in the calculator.
00:46:4919, 80, 7.
00:46:51Hit plus.
00:46:52Pass that ball over here.
00:46:53Pass it somewhere.
00:46:54Go.
00:46:54Quick, quick, quick.
00:46:55Oh, it's getting back there, man.
00:46:57There we go.
00:46:58Oh, go, go.
00:46:59Bring it back.
00:47:00There we go.
00:47:01Right there.
00:47:03Shout nice and loud a graduation year important to you.
00:47:072020.

00:47:09Everyone add.
00:47:102020.
00:47:12Hit plus.
00:47:13We're going to pass it more towards the front.
00:47:14Pass it over here.
00:47:17Pass it.
00:47:17Hit it over here.
00:47:18Yeah, you're right there.
00:47:20Can you name me nice and loud your social security number?
00:47:23Just kidding.
00:47:24Maybe just your birthday, the month and day.
00:47:27September 7th.
00:47:28September 7th.
00:47:29So that is 97.
00:47:31Everyone's going to add 97.
00:47:33Hit plus one last time.
00:47:35Pass that ball back up here.
00:47:36Pass it up.
00:47:36Pass it up.
00:47:38Yeah.
00:47:39Thank you, my friend.
00:47:40That's got some air time.
00:47:42That's a good one.
00:47:42Nice throw.
00:47:43All right.
00:47:44To ensure this is random, for the final number, you're going to give me one finger like this.
00:47:48Okay.
00:47:48Look into the beautiful audience.
00:47:50Make sure it's random.
00:47:51Spam the numbers like crazy.
00:47:52Don't even look.
00:47:53Spam.
00:47:53Oh.
00:47:53Just keep going.
00:47:54Yeah, don't rub it.
00:47:54Just, yeah.
00:47:55Very good.
00:47:55I was rubbing.
00:47:56Hopefully.
00:47:58Hopefully that's my paycheck.
00:48:00You did a lot of damn numbers.
00:48:01Can everyone add?
00:48:032-0-9-3-4-6.
00:48:06Make sure we get the same answer.
00:48:08If you hit equals, that should be, what, 213,000-something?
00:48:11Yep.
00:48:12Yes.
00:48:12This is for you.
00:48:14Anyone that caught this, you may have noticed there's something inside.
00:48:19Mm-hmm.
00:48:20Hi.
00:48:21Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen.
00:48:27A prediction.
00:48:29That's...
00:48:30This has been here the entire time.
00:48:34In a second, Chrissy.
00:48:36One digit at a time.
00:48:37I'm nervous for you.
00:48:38Yeah.
00:48:39I'm like, I'm trembling.
00:48:40Okay.
00:48:41Can you read that number?
00:48:42One digit at a time.
00:48:452-1-3-4-5-0.
00:48:51A perfect match.
00:48:52Come on.
00:48:56This is for you.
00:48:58That's a gift.
00:49:00So hold on.
00:49:02Hold on.
00:49:04You are still sitting on a bunch of random artists right now.
00:49:08Take them out.
00:49:08Take out your envelopes.
00:49:12Jelly, you have an incredible music career yourself.
00:49:14This needs to be your decision.
00:49:16Oh.
00:49:16Okay?
00:49:16Yes, he's excited.
00:49:18Oh, goodness.
00:49:18Hold him up.
00:49:19Show Jelly some.
00:49:20Stand on up.
00:49:20Go pick an envelope at random.
00:49:22Go ahead.
00:49:23Show him some up.
00:49:24I have a history.
00:49:25Go in.
00:49:25Come on in.
00:49:31Let me go.
00:49:32My man right here with the glasses.
00:49:34Right there.
00:49:35Go.
00:49:35Run up.
00:49:36Give it to Jelly.
00:49:37There we go.
00:49:39There we go.
00:49:43Thanks for coming.
00:49:43Thank you so much.
00:49:44Jelly, only you peek at this.
00:49:47Nobody else.
00:49:48Open.
00:49:48Take a look at that artist.
00:49:49Not even my friend?
00:49:50No.
00:49:50Nobody.
00:49:51This is awful.
00:49:53Sarah, I want you to know.
00:49:53I'll tell you.
00:49:54I'm not looking at you.
00:49:55Oh, yeah.
00:49:56I got it.
00:49:56Yeah, put it right back.
00:49:57Hold it right there.
00:49:58If I could guess it, that would be good.
00:49:59But what if Chrissy could read your mind?
00:50:04I want you to imagine sending that artist over and over to Chrissy so you can really focus.
00:50:10I want you to cover your ears tight.
00:50:12Cover them very tightly.
00:50:13We're going to focus on this here.
00:50:22Did you get something?
00:50:23No.
00:50:24You got nothing.
00:50:25That would have been good.
00:50:26Let's try again.
00:50:27Just really focus.
00:50:28We're going to see you.
00:50:29Really send it.
00:50:29Okay.
00:50:30Close your ears tight.
00:50:38Anything.
00:50:38Okay.
00:50:41Usher.
00:50:43No!
00:50:45Wait.
00:50:45Hold on one second.
00:50:46Show everybody.
00:50:49You swear to God, Chrissy, look at me.
00:50:51We're free.
00:50:51Did you hear his voice?
00:50:55Hold on.
00:50:58Ladies and gentlemen, if that does not show our connection tonight, you still have that.
00:51:09If that doesn't show our connection tonight, maybe this will.
00:51:22That is true.
00:51:24You are amazing.
00:51:25They're burning.
00:51:27Come on.
00:51:28Come on.
00:51:30Thank you so much.
00:51:47Now, that was mind-blowing.
00:51:49Come on over here, TJ.
00:51:51Voting is now open.
00:51:54Grab your remotes.
00:51:55For those watching live, remember, you can vote from one to five stars with five stars being the best.
00:52:02Judges, what did you think of TJ Salta?
00:52:04Sarah, we're going to start with you.
00:52:06I don't understand anything that is happening.
00:52:10I mean, I was blown away.
00:52:14I'm never at a loss for words.
00:52:15Anyone that knows me can tell you that.
00:52:17But I just...
00:52:18And you kept me enthralled the whole time.
00:52:20I think that's something else, too.
00:52:21Like, it was a long trick.
00:52:22And so you have to wait sometimes for a payoff with a magic trick.
00:52:25And some magicians will lose me.
00:52:26I'm, you know, oh, shiny light, look.
00:52:28But I just was so...
00:52:30I couldn't wait to see what happens next.
00:52:32And then it was the number and the...
00:52:34I...
00:52:35Again, I'm babbling because I just...
00:52:37I don't understand.
00:52:39I...
00:52:39I loved it.
00:52:41I absolutely loved it.
00:52:41I appreciate it.
00:52:43Wow.
00:52:44To you, Chrissy.
00:52:46Man, I'm like...
00:52:48I'm a huge magic lover.
00:52:50The way that you move on the stage, everything...
00:52:54I mean, you are so Vegas.
00:52:55Like, you're so...
00:52:56You are what, like, your cadence, everything.
00:52:59The way you speak.
00:53:00And you're right, Sarah.
00:53:01You're so right.
00:53:02It was, like, a longer trick.
00:53:03And oftentimes, especially if, like, there's a...
00:53:05Like, somebody else is using cards or something.
00:53:07Like, I get so lost.
00:53:08I'm like, what were we supposed to keep track of again?
00:53:10Like, what...
00:53:11You really held on the whole time.
00:53:13And everyone was, like, on faded breath, you know?
00:53:16Watching every single thing.
00:53:18I think you are incredible.
00:53:20You're wonderful.
00:53:20You are exactly the kind of person that I would pay to go see in Las Vegas.
00:53:24Yes, you too.
00:53:25Seriously?
00:53:26Yes.
00:53:28Love it.
00:53:29And to the man who's weirded out and afraid of magic and magicians, Jelly Roll.
00:53:34Oh, the jelly was so tough.
00:53:36TJ, I want to tell you, man, that I am creeped out by magic.
00:53:40And that was before I met you.
00:53:42Now I am absolutely petrified by magic.
00:53:45I mean, dude, let me tell you how amazing you are.
00:53:47It is...
00:53:48That freaked me out in every way.
00:53:50I'll start with telling you that I just wasn't ready to do that much math.
00:53:54I mean, that was a lot of math.
00:53:55That's why we got the calculators.
00:53:56And then when the balloons started going, I want y'all to know I've been to enough festivals
00:53:59to know that you can't control where that balloon goes.
00:54:02I've kicked a bunch of those beach balls offstage, balloons.
00:54:05You'd be surprised.
00:54:06So when I see my man with the cowboy hat grab it, which I thought was awesome.
00:54:09And I can't wait to hear what happened in 1987, by the way.
00:54:12What a year that must have been for you.
00:54:15But I was like, this is getting absolutely unreal.
00:54:19And then when I thought it couldn't get any crazier after the math equation you did,
00:54:23you were trying to pick an artist.
00:54:24And you were like, give it to Chrissy.
00:54:26And I know where it went wrong the first time.
00:54:28It wasn't your fault.
00:54:28In my head, I was going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:33Yeah, and she didn't get it.
00:54:34That was my fault.
00:54:35So the second time, I was like, usher, usher.
00:54:37And then I even threw in a usher, usher.
00:54:39And when she hit it back, dude, it freaked me out.
00:54:42I've just been sitting here.
00:54:44Just I really got to pee now.
00:54:46That's the truth.
00:54:47It's incredible, TJ.
00:54:48Welcome to Vegas.
00:54:49She was like, thank you.
00:54:51You know, that was a phenomenal trick there, TJ.
00:54:56And I've always been fascinated with magic.
00:54:58You grew up here in Los Angeles going to the Magic Castle and all that.
00:55:01I'm just curious, what got you involved in magic?
00:55:03How did all that start for you?
00:55:04Oh, man, I really, it's something that, it's funny.
00:55:07I was the biggest skeptic my entire life.
00:55:10I always thought it was corny.
00:55:11I still think it is at its core.
00:55:13So for me, it was an outlet that once I got an injury, to still bring people that reaction,
00:55:19like Christmas morning, like what is going on?
00:55:21Just getting to give that feeling to somebody, that's something you can't buy.
00:55:25That is just seeing you drop that thing, like that's what we live for in magic.
00:55:29I love it.
00:55:30And, yes, and everyone here, to be able to connect and do it live with people at home,
00:55:34that was my dream.
00:55:36And thank you for letting me fulfill that tonight.
00:55:38Thank you for joining us on Star Search.
00:55:41Now, it's time to reveal the judges' scores.
00:55:44Chrissy.
00:55:45Four stars.
00:55:48Jelly roll.
00:55:49I want y'all to know that Chrissy is a magic critic, dude.
00:55:52This is a big deal.
00:55:53She gave four stars.
00:55:54I gave four stars, too, man.
00:55:55I was blown away, too.
00:55:56Okay.
00:55:57Sarah.
00:55:58Four stars for me, too.
00:55:59I was blown away, too.
00:56:00Four stars for Sarah.
00:56:01All right.
00:56:02I know you want to see the viewer score right now, but we're not going to do that quite yet,
00:56:06because first, we've got to see your opponent.
00:56:08Please welcome Fernando Velasco.
00:56:14Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:56:15What's up, Stars?
00:56:17Hey, hey, hey.
00:56:20I'm really excited to be here.
00:56:22Now, what you're about to see is not mental, it is visual, and it happens very fast.
00:56:29Right back here, I have a 10-foot tall steel platform.
00:56:32At the bottom of the platform is a 6-foot tall table, and as you can tell, this table is
00:56:39completely empty.
00:56:41On top of the table is a 4x4 cube with a solid bottom and a solid top, and much like
00:56:49the table, very much empty.
00:56:51My gente, no hay nada.
00:56:57Uh-huh.
00:57:00All right.
00:57:01Right about now, my head is literally 16 feet above the stage floor, making what you're about to see truly
00:57:10impossible.
00:57:11But before I keep on going, I want you guys to meet a good friend of mine.
00:57:16Her name is Selena.
00:57:20What's up, Selena?
00:57:25Do not take your eyes off of Selena.
00:57:28We call this hide-and-seek.
00:57:49And we call this hide-and-seek.
00:58:14Oh, hey!
00:58:16Hey, Fernando, you can't be sneaking up on me like that.
00:58:20I am from Compton.
00:58:21All right.
00:58:22I'm just messing with you.
00:58:23Voting is now open.
00:58:25What did you think of Fernando's performance?
00:58:27You only have 60 seconds to vote.
00:58:30Judges.
00:58:31Chrissy?
00:58:31Oh, my God.
00:58:32This is so stressful.
00:58:33Honestly, that was...
00:58:35I am going to go to bed wondering how you did that trick.
00:58:38It's going to drive me absolutely nuts.
00:58:41It reminded me of, like, those old days of stage magic,
00:58:44like the ones where you'd tune in on, like, live television.
00:58:47You'd be so excited, and then the masked magician would come out
00:58:49and tell you how it was done.
00:58:50And I just, like, I love being brought back to that day.
00:58:53Like, I'm also a voting member of Magic Castle
00:58:56and a huge fan of magic in general,
00:58:59and that's something you would only get to see
00:59:00on, like, that main room out there.
00:59:02So it was so cool to me to get to witness something like that.
00:59:05I think we were all so confused and excited equally.
00:59:09So amazing job.
00:59:11Wonderful job.
00:59:13Jelly Roll.
00:59:15Yo.
00:59:16I love that Chrissy said she's going to go to sleep wondering how you did that trick.
00:59:20And I'm going to go to sleep wondering if you are an escaped inmate
00:59:24from somewhere with an alternate ID.
00:59:26This was a...
00:59:27Man, I know a bunch of...
00:59:28I could have used you about 15 years ago, man.
00:59:31You would have been a great cellmate, dude.
00:59:33Let me tell you.
00:59:34You would have loved to be your cellmate.
00:59:36I was actually a pretty good cellmate, dude.
00:59:38I didn't fart as much as you think I did.
00:59:40Oh, I didn't think you fart.
00:59:42Well, thank you.
00:59:43No, but I've got to tell you, I was actually blown away, man.
00:59:46It was really special.
00:59:48I still can't.
00:59:49I don't know what to say, dude.
00:59:50It was weird.
00:59:51I don't know how...
00:59:51I don't know...
00:59:52First of all, where did the other girl even come from?
00:59:54You didn't introduce her as to all, you know what I mean?
00:59:57And don't get me wrong.
00:59:58It didn't surprise me you came out with two girls.
01:00:00You came out mighty, hello, Rico Suamo.
01:00:02I thought...
01:00:03I didn't surprise at all.
01:00:04But, I mean, I didn't know where she came...
01:00:05Was you surprised, Tim?
01:00:06Well, yeah.
01:00:07Also, why didn't she get a name?
01:00:08Yeah, what's her?
01:00:09She deserves a moment.
01:00:11Eloise is her name.
01:00:12Oh, got it.
01:00:13I was trying to see what was going on.
01:00:15There was a lot happening, man.
01:00:16I know it was special.
01:00:19She invited me to the Magic Castle on a double date with my wife,
01:00:22and I told her my wife and I are in.
01:00:23And now that I've seen you, I'm really in.
01:00:25So, I'm going to go.
01:00:27That's great.
01:00:28Sarah.
01:00:29Well, first of all, I just want to know why Freddie and I
01:00:32didn't get invited on this date.
01:00:33You are invited.
01:00:34He didn't say I was.
01:00:35He didn't say I was.
01:00:35I'm so sorry.
01:00:36I'm just saying I'm not trying to, like, be the third wheel.
01:00:38Oh, but no, okay.
01:00:38Sorry, back to you.
01:00:39I can't invite you to where she's the most member of.
01:00:41You know what I mean?
01:00:42Fair, fair.
01:00:43Chris, when you came out, it was so exciting.
01:00:45There's something so exciting about you.
01:00:47You have us on the edge of our seat, and we're like,
01:00:49what's going to happen?
01:00:50What's going to happen?
01:00:50And that's really important with Magic is to keep us invested.
01:00:54The only thing that I would say is that the trip was amazing,
01:00:57but I wanted more.
01:00:59Like, you had more time.
01:01:00Like, I wanted to see you then switch this and that
01:01:03because I was left so confused.
01:01:05I'm like, wait, wait, wait, where's the rest?
01:01:06Like, I want more.
01:01:07That's a good thing that you want more.
01:01:09Yeah, I'm just saying.
01:01:10That's a great deal for next week.
01:01:15I just feel like you have to, you want to use every bit of time
01:01:18that someone gives you, take advantage of that
01:01:21because you never know when you're going to be in front
01:01:23of an audience like this ever in your life.
01:01:25So always to any, just use that time.
01:01:29Great job up there, Fernando.
01:01:31I have a question.
01:01:32I have an answer.
01:01:33I'm digging your high-waisted pants.
01:01:35Now, as a musician, a musician, as a magician,
01:01:39how can you make my belly disappear
01:01:41so I can wear high-waisted pants like that?
01:01:43Hey, there's some good medicine out there now.
01:01:46Yeah.
01:01:47I'm kidding.
01:01:48All right.
01:01:49All right, judges, let's go to your scores.
01:01:53Christy.
01:01:54Oh, my God.
01:01:55Okay, I agree.
01:01:56I want more, and that's an amazing thing.
01:01:59Three stars.
01:02:01Jelly roll.
01:02:03I gave you four.
01:02:04I've been trying to skate my whole life.
01:02:06I thought it was awesome.
01:02:08Thanks.
01:02:09Sarah.
01:02:10Three stars.
01:02:12Thank you, judges.
01:02:14TJ, please come join us on stage again.
01:02:22Now is the moment where it all gets real
01:02:26because the worldwide results are in.
01:02:30TJ, our three judges gave you a total score of four stars.
01:02:35We've got to change the song.
01:02:37But that's not all that matters.
01:02:39Let's see what the fourth judge, the viewers around the world, gave you.
01:02:44Four point two stars.
01:02:46That gives you a combined final score of four point one stars.
01:02:53Four point one stars is the score to beat.
01:02:56Let's see what your competitor, Fernando, the judges just gave you three point three stars.
01:03:06Viewers around the world gave you three point one stars.
01:03:11Combined, that's a final score of three point two stars, which means our winner, TJ Sanka.
01:03:20Fernando, you are tonight's variety champion.
01:03:27Fernando, you were outstanding.
01:03:29Give it up for Fernando Velasco.
01:03:34All right, TJ.
01:03:35Congratulations.
01:03:36How do you feel about your win tonight?
01:03:38That's, uh, wow, that's crazy.
01:03:40Sorry.
01:03:40This is, uh, I'm just grateful to be here, like I said, and to be able to connect with you
01:03:44guys.
01:03:44And now I got to bring the heat later.
01:03:47Yeah.
01:03:47Well, we will see you next week, TJ, where you will take on your first challenger to defend your variety
01:03:54title.
01:03:54Title.
01:03:55Now you can disappear from this stage.
01:03:59Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for TJ Salter again.
01:04:05Now, before we get to our last head to head of the night, let's take a look at what we've
01:04:10got coming up on Star Search tomorrow night on Netflix.
01:04:34Tomorrow is going to be hot, and you don't want to miss it.
01:04:39Now, back to tonight's final head-to-head category, music group.
01:04:43Let's meet them, Horizon and 2BYG.
01:04:54This is our moment to introduce ourselves to the world.
01:04:58Bring it on.
01:05:00We want a long-lasting career, and winning on this global stage could really give us that.
01:05:07Wham-bam-bam, it's your boy, Matt Brown.
01:05:09What up, baby?
01:05:09It's Nix.
01:05:10It's KD.
01:05:11It's your boy, Torre.
01:05:11And we are 2BYG.
01:05:14It is.
01:05:162BYG stands for to be young and gifted.
01:05:19Yeah.
01:05:21Us three, one, two, three.
01:05:23We started as a three-man group.
01:05:24Who?
01:05:25Who?
01:05:25The Melanated Brothers.
01:05:28We had a talent show at our school.
01:05:30We came in first place.
01:05:32KD came in second.
01:05:33Yeah.
01:05:33He was really good.
01:05:34So we asked KD to be in the group, and we've been rockin' and rollin', rollin' the dice ever since.
01:05:41Y'all may recognize us from a TikTok.
01:05:43One of our biggest videos to this day.
01:05:46Can I get to the yam?
01:05:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:05:49We blew up on that.
01:05:50Got a million likes.
01:05:51After that, it's been nonstop.
01:05:53And here we are.
01:05:54But the thing about being viral is that it's just a moment, and we want our music to be timeless
01:05:59and people to listen to them even after we're gone.
01:06:04I'm Gabby.
01:06:05I'm Tiara.
01:06:06I'm Bernie.
01:06:07And we're Horizon.
01:06:09So, number three, there's three of us.
01:06:11We're a trio.
01:06:12Her because women, and Horizon because she's got her hands on the wheel and her eyes on the horizon.
01:06:17Horizon.
01:06:19Music really did bring us together.
01:06:22Karaoke is such a massive staple in Filipino households.
01:06:26We grew up in Australia with our mums telling us to get on the mic and, like, pay us money.
01:06:31Dribing us.
01:06:32Paying us money to sing on it.
01:06:35Last year, we decided to move to America to try and really make a name for ourselves.
01:06:40Moving all the way to Atlanta and living in an empty apartment.
01:06:44It definitely inspires us to work even harder.
01:06:49There is no plan B.
01:06:51Plan B is to make plan A work.
01:06:54Yes.
01:06:55Hey.
01:06:56Look, fellas, it's our backup singers.
01:06:58We know 2BYG from the music scene, and they have a lot to bring to the table.
01:07:03But I'm not threatened.
01:07:05Their biggest strength, they've got one extra member.
01:07:10Horizon will be riding off into Horizon after we've done it with.
01:07:15Let's just say, this rivalry is heated in more ways than one.
01:07:24Performing It's Gonna Be Me.
01:07:26Please welcome 2BYG.
01:07:48Please welcome 2BYG.
01:07:561.

01:09:38I don't want to lose it
01:09:41But I'm not like them
01:09:44We finally get to love somebody
01:09:50Guess what?

01:10:36You only have one minute
01:10:37Judges, Jelly Roll, we're gonna start with you
01:10:39Oh, please start with me
01:10:41I was gonna take the lead this time, ladies
01:10:43Either way
01:10:44I'm gonna tell y'all something
01:10:45I didn't realize
01:10:46You know how there's sometimes there's something missing in the world
01:10:49And you can't put your finger on what it is in music
01:10:52And then you see something that's a callback
01:10:54And you go, that is what's missing in the world
01:10:57That's what's missing in music right now
01:11:00That is it
01:11:02And I'll tell you why I felt that way
01:11:04Is one, you can tell y'all thought through everything
01:11:06First of all, with a cowboy hat
01:11:08I had a high expectation of you
01:11:09And your kick didn't let me down
01:11:13But strategic
01:11:13I think about the small nuances of the art y'all are doing
01:11:16That I pay attention to
01:11:17And I want you to know
01:11:18Not just the singing the fact that y'all said
01:11:19If we're all gonna dress alike
01:11:21How can we still be ourselves?
01:11:24My man said, I'm gonna wear a cowboy hat with the earrings
01:11:26My man said, I'm gonna throw my glasses on
01:11:28And my beanie
01:11:29And y'all figured a way to stand out
01:11:32If I had one note
01:11:33And this is just a note
01:11:34Because I seen y'all wanna do it
01:11:35And you were like, I don't think I'm allowed to
01:11:36Y'all had a moment
01:11:37Y'all wanted to get right here in our face
01:11:39I seen it in your soul
01:11:41Listen, I don't care
01:11:42In the future, I shouldn't say this on TV
01:11:44And they knew I was a liability
01:11:45Say it
01:11:45I don't care what production tells you
01:11:47You follow your heart
01:11:48You follow your spirit next time
01:11:50You do what's right here
01:11:52You're a superstar
01:11:53You could possibly be the next star
01:11:55I know what I did
01:11:57The world did what I did
01:11:58We'll see y'all next week
01:12:03Oh, you got them riled up to be watching
01:12:07Sarah, we're gonna go to you
01:12:08First of all, thank you for letting me live out my fantasies
01:12:11I've never been the girl that's been sung to at a concert
01:12:13Like when she was the girl

01:12:15I'm really the person raising my hands
01:12:16So thank you

01:12:25I loved you guys
01:12:25I loved how beautiful your voice was
01:12:27I love that you made it your own
01:12:29My one note is
01:12:30I mean, that is a very recognizable boy band song
01:12:34And if you're gonna take that on
01:12:36I also want to see it be so different
01:12:38So that I'm not thinking about the original
01:12:40And, you know, to really
01:12:41So my one note would be
01:12:43When you're doing songs like that
01:12:44Is really try to find those moments
01:12:45That make it so you guys
01:12:48Great note

01:17:13stop, that's me, it's my song.
01:17:31Put your hands together for Horizon, I hear you with the vocals and your cane dancing, who knew you pledged
01:17:37a paternity in college.
01:17:39Alright, which of these two groups will become our last champions of the night and move on to next week?
01:17:45How many stars do you want to give Horizon?
01:17:48Put those remotes to work while we check in with the judges.
01:17:51Chrissy.
01:17:52I mean, I think we all can agree that was incredible, am I correct?
01:17:59Dancing, singing, I'm always like, I love going to award shows and I love like trying to pick up if
01:18:05someone's singing live or not.
01:18:07And honestly, either way, it works for me sometimes, but you guys, your voices, they were live and I knew
01:18:13it was live, but it was beautiful live.
01:18:16You know what I'm saying?
01:18:17It didn't sound like it was like, like auto-tuned or anything.
01:18:22You guys sounded like you, you were dancing, you were moving and I just like felt such great presence from
01:18:27you guys.
01:18:28You were, you seem very like established and, and, and ready for the world already.
01:18:34So, we're excited for you.
01:18:36Yes, yes.
01:18:37We're excited for the world to see you.
01:18:40Jelly roll.
01:18:41Oh, ladies, that was incredible, man.
01:18:43Y'all are from Australia.
01:18:45Did I hear that right?
01:18:45Y'all came here from the down under.
01:18:47That's awesome.
01:18:48Just chasing a dream all the way from Australia.
01:18:50This is great.
01:18:51I hope you're watching back home, whatever time it is tomorrow, mid-morning or afternoon.
01:18:57I will say this, and y'all know this, is that when you have three vocalists in a group, especially
01:19:02ladies, and y'all are in that same kind of altitude a little bit, that it sometimes gets hard to
01:19:08figure who's who and what's what and find moments for each other.
01:19:11And y'all nailed it.
01:19:13I mean, tastefully, beautiful.
01:19:17I mean, when it was time to shine, it was time to shine.
01:19:20But most importantly, when it was time to fall back, you knew when to fall back.
01:19:25And that's three friends up there singing together.
01:19:27And that is a beautiful thing.
01:19:28And y'all know who y'all are on that stage.
01:19:30It shows.
01:19:31It glows.
01:19:31I don't know what's going to happen tonight, but I want to prophesy something into y'all.
01:19:35Whether I get to see you next week or I don't, I want you to know that you are in
01:19:38the right path right now.
01:19:39You are clearly going the right direction, girl.
01:19:45Sarah.
01:19:46So I have to keep reminding myself that this is star search.
01:19:49And it's not just about who's the most talented or who's vocals.
01:19:53It's also about who is a star.
01:19:55Who is that person that stops, that knows how to put a performance on.
01:19:59And I was so into it.
01:20:00I loved the song.
01:20:01I loved your vocals.
01:20:02Then you went acapella.
01:20:03And I was like, oh my gosh, those girls can sing.
01:20:06But then you took it up another notch and you started dancing.
01:20:09And the Canes came out.
01:20:10And that's what being a star is.
01:20:13It's about the reason why we go to your shows and scream like that is there's more to being a
01:20:18star.
01:20:19And you guys, like Jelly said, are just right on that path.
01:20:21When the Canes came out, I was looking for the magician.
