But hot and Cold, I mean I 331 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 2: think how we were judging too about like the two 332 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 2: different categories where it wasn't necessarily about like a hot 333 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 2: and cold has to be just the crowd pleaser.

It doesn't matter how hard or simple 340 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: the song may seem. It's like being able to perform 341 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: and dance and then also maintained the pitch through all 342 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 2: of it, and like the breathing correctly and all the technique. 343 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 2: You both had such incredible technique, and like we were 344 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 2: noticing that too, where it's like you both seem so professional, 345 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 2: like this is clearly what they do. What went into 346 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 2: picking an evanescent song, because I feel like when you 347 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: came out and started doing they were like, oh, this 348 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 2: is different, this is very different than what everybody else 349 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 2: is doing. And also, yeah, so hard to sing there's 350 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: a couple people I remember, like growing up watching American Idol, 351 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: and people would come out and do like Alicia Keys, 352 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: and the judges would be like, it's really hard to 353 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 2: do because her voice is so stinct. She's a very 354 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 2: distinct style of singing. Evanescence is similarly similar. Yeah, exactly, yes, 355 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 2: So what was that like? Is that like one of 356 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 2: your go tos? 357 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: So actually that my first song choice was not Evanescence. 358 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 3: It was actually Hurt by Christina Aguilera. 359 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: Oh cool, okay, even harder? 360 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: Exactly, great, great, great. 361 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 3: A few days before I found out what song I 362 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 3: was doing, or a few days before the competition, they 363 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: told me what song I was doing, and I honestly 364 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 3: I had everything set to go for Hurt. I was 365 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 3: so confident that that's the song I'm doing. I put 366 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: in my song right away and it said you are 367 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 3: doing call me when you're sober, and I was like, okay, 368 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 3: And so I had to think of an outfit, idea, 369 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 3: put that together, get my like performance going what I 370 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 3: was gonna do, and I felt really good about it. 371 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 3: I mean, I've sang that song a lot, like in 372 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 3: karaoke bars and stuff, and I've been told that it 373 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 3: really suits my voice and that I sound pretty similar 374 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 3: to Amy Lee. So I was like, okay, so well, 375 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 3: I'm gonna just thank you. I was just hoping, like, Okay, 376 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be confident with this, give it my all 377 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 3: and just see where it takes me. So I'm really 378 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 3: glad that everything turned out good. 379 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: It did, I mean, it worked out.

What about you, Megan, I was. 435 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 4: Equally just as shocked. I mean, yeah, everyone was so good. 436 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 4: It really was so neck and neck. I genuinely had 437 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 4: no idea who was gonna win, what I mean. And 438 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 4: then when he pulled out, like the dollar bills flying 439 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 4: them in the air, Young I roast to everyone in 440 00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 4: the audience, but dazzled head to toe the phone. I 441 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 4: looked at my mom and I said, We're not going 442 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 4: home with this prize money. So it was such a shock. 443 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 4: I like blacked out, like once I got on stage, 444 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 4: I just just saw bright lights and even if there 445 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 4: weren't bright lights, I was just like out of it 446 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 4: and it didn't like hit me really until I like 447 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 4: cash the check into my savings and I was like. 448 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
