Welcome to Sing On!
Show some love to my contestants
and my Tight-Ass Band.
There are five massive party hits
standing between our six contestants
and a jackpot of up to $60,000.
Vinny, welcome to the show.
You're a singing server.
So, you can't talk to customers?
People think
"Sing and Serve" is like,
[melodically]
"Here's your burger,"
but that's not the case.
-Uh...
-[audience cheers]
Thank you.
But we've got a stage where I work
and when someone asks for music,
I serve them
and do a song on stage.
-That's awesome, man.
-[audience cheers]
And Miss Mary, or should I call you "doc"?
-[Mary chuckles]
-"Dr. Mary."
[Mary laughs]
Thank you.
I don't recall my doctor
dressing like you.
-You look amazing.
-I'm not a typical doctor.
I'm a Doctor of Science.
I got my PhD studying nanotechnology.
-I know exactly what that is.
-[audience laughs]
-What is that?
-It's the science
of making things smaller...
Oh, like my waistline.
Exactly.
All right, doc.
Welcome to the show.
Ceci, who's cheering for you, sis?
My boyfriend, and my five dogs at home.
-You've got five dogs?
-Yes.
And if I could, I'd have more,
but my boyfriend thinks that five is...
kind of pushing it a little bit.
-All right, sister.
-[audience cheers]
Well, friends, get those voices ready.
Our first song
is worth up to $10,000!
But there's only one judge on this show
and it ain't me.
♪ It's our vocal analyzer ♪
♪ From the show Sing On! ♪
[audience cheers]
Whoo!
The vocal analyzer compares
this performance
to the original artist.
The more they sing in tune,
the more cash they add
to the jackpot.
And one of them is guaranteed
to win it all!
[audience cheers]
Only the most accurate singer
goes on to the next round.
While someone else
gets voted out of the game.
[audience] Aww!
It's a shame, but I didn't make the rules.
Calm down.
[audience laughs]
And the lyrics are assigned randomly,
so they have no idea when it's their turn.
It's real sneaky, but I love it.
-[audience laughs]
-Y'all ready for some music?
[audience cheering]
Our first song
is "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5.
[all cheering]
This is a really tough song to sing.
Let's sing on!
[all cheering]
[audience cheers]
[Tituss] Whoo!
Cold sweats.
-Talk about getting the party started.
-Okay.
This is the best karaoke night ever.
The vocal analyzer has done the math
and out of a possible $10,000,
you all banked...
$5,350!
That money is now safe
-in my back po... in the jackpot.
-[all laugh]
Who has the highest score
and moves to the next round?
Well, with a whopping 71%,
the most accurate singer is...
Ceci.
[audience cheering]
[Ceci] Oh, my God.
[Tituss] Wow!
Congratulations, Ceci.
You're safe from elimination.
How do you feel?
I wanna cry.
-Aww!
-It feels amazing, yeah.
-You sounded amazing.
-Thank you.
So, Ceci will sing on...
See what I did there?
[audience laughing]
But who goes? Well...
here's the twist.
That's up to the singers to decide.
[giggles]
So, singers...
decide!
The singers have no idea
how anyone scored.
Will they choose
the person banking the least cash,
or eliminate their rival?
Ceci, since you're safe from elimination,
let's ask you first.
Who do you want to leave?
Who got your vote?
I voted for the person that I believe...
is the best one.
-Oh.
-[audience] Ooh!
She's going for the top.
I'm sorry, I voted for Mary.
Mary, who did you choose?
Well, I chose someone
I thought might be competition later.
So, I chose Vinny.
[Tituss] Okay.
Vinny, who got your vote?
So, I chose somebody that I felt
could have been a little bit
stronger on that song
and, um, I actually voted for Hope.
[audience] Aww!
It's getting interesting.
-Hope?
-Yes.
Who did you vote for, pray tell?
-I also chose Mary.
-[audience] Aww!
It's okay.
Noble?
This person has incredible stage presence,
they'll be competition later,
so, I picked Vinny.
-[audience] Aww!
-Another one for Vinny.
Mary and Vinny both have two votes,
so the next pick is crucial
if they want to sing on!
Telvin, who did you choose?
So, I chose
the person I think
is the biggest competition.
-[groans]
-I hate to say it...
Vinny. I love you.
-[Tituss] Oh!
-[audience moans]
We're still Southern boys here.
-True.
-I love you.
So,
Vinny received the most votes,
and I'm sorry to say,
it's game over for you, Vinny.
-[audience] Aww!
-But you sound so lovely.
-Would you stay with us and sing on?
-Yes.
-Give it up for Vinny.
-[audience cheering]
Thank you, brother.
Thank you, Vinny.
Guess what?
The least accurate singer
is still in the game
-and they banked the least amount of cash.
-[audience] Ooh!
Oh, boy.
This next song on our "Party Playlist"
is "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus.
Telvin,
think about this question
-and be honest.
-Let's go.
Have you ever swung naked
on a wrecking ball?
Um, I'm gonna say no.
My mama would kill me.
-So...
-[all laughing]
Yeah... No.
Hope, are you confident
about singing this song?
I am uberly confident about this song
-'cause I love it.
-All right.
[Tituss] Noble, do you come
from a musical family?
I do.
So, my family's
from the West Indies,
Jamrock and Trinidad.
[audience cheering]
So I listened to music
all throughout my childhood,
and my mom is a professional singer.
-Is that right?
-Yeah.
Whoo!
[Tituss] Watch out.
Who will be your biggest rival?
Hmm,
everybody's got a powerful voice,
but I'm going to have to say Telvin.
-Oh!
-[audience] Ooh!
[Tituss] We'll see.
[audience cheers]
I nearly forgot. How could I be
so absent-minded, y'all?
I need to tell you
about my "Tituss Prize."
[audience cheers]
From now on, I've got $500
to award to one singer
who gives the best performance.
-I know, I'm too generous.
-[audience laughs]
I said "performance,"
'cause it ain't about singin'.
So don't be afraid
to shake your booty, all right.
All right. So...
will Ceci be
the most accurate singer again,
or is someone else
gonna bring their A-game
-to this "Party Playlist"?
-Oh.
Remember, all the lyrics
have been assigned randomly
so, singers, pay attention.
And once again,
there's $10,000 available to bank.
[audience cheering]
You want some Tituss advice?
If you wanna bank the money,
then stick to the melody.
It's time to swing
from the "Wrecking Ball."
Whoo!
[Tituss] Sing on!
Whoo!
[audience cheers]
[audience cheering]
[Tituss] That was lit to death.
That was fierce!
You deserve a round of applause.
Someone won my "Tituss Prize."
[audience cheers]
It goes to the contestant
whose performance screamed,
"Give me that damn money, Tituss."
I'm looking at you, Noble.
[audience cheers]
You've just won $500.
Yes!
How does it feel?
It feels amazing.
-Thank you so much.
-You're welcome.
And congratulations, everyone,
your performance of "Wrecking Ball"
just added...
$6,200!
[audience cheers]
Which means the total jackpot
is now worth...
$11,550!
And...
the singer with the highest score,
going straight into the next round
with 69%...
is Hope.
[audience cheers]
Oh, my gosh. Ooh!
-[Hope] Whoo!
-Whoop-whoop.
And there was less than 1% in the scores.
That was close.
Congratulations, Hope.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Hope will sing on,
but no on else is safe.
It's that time again.
Our singers gotta decide
who they want to leave the stage.
Decide!
And here's their scores, just for you.
Will they choose someone they think
is missing their notes,
or try to remove a rival?
Hmm.
Let's start with our most accurate singer
who's safe from elimination.
Hope,
who do you want to leave the stage?
[exhales] Okay, so...
I'm sorry to say I chose Telvin.
Okay. All right.
Telvin, who did you choose?
Noble, I love you,
but I chose you.
[Tituss] Oh.
Noble, who did you choose?
I picked Ceci...
because she has excellent pitch
and she hits the notes on time.
-She's competition.
-All right.
Okay. Ceci?
I picked Noble.
[audience] Aww!
This is getting close.
Mary?
Well, this time around I picked Ceci
'cause I think that
she is stiff competition.
Well, we have a tie.
[audience] Ooh!
I am so nervous.
Noble and Ceci both got two votes.
So it's game over for the singer
who got the lowest score.
And I can now reveal
the least accurate singer
was...
Noble.
[audience] Aww!
But don't forget, you still take home
your $500 "Titus Prize."
[audience cheers]
Will you stay and sing on?
-Yes.
-All right. Let's give it up for Noble.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Whoo!
[Tituss] Four singers are left on stage,
so how about we pump up the volume
at this party?
Let's double the money.
Every song is now worth $20,000.
-[audience cheering]
-Whoo!
[Tituss] Yes!
Telvin, you're on your own.
[all laughing]
-You against the ladies.
-[audience member] Yeah!
Let's do it.
[audience cheering]
Mary, are you competitive?
I can be, yes.
All those years of schooling
and such a challenging field
have taught me
to learn some competitiveness.
Hopefully I can bring that here today.
She is so diplomatic. I love it.
Mary, If you win our jackpot,
what would you spend it on?
I'm really big on giving
back to charity,
so I would make sure
that I give some support.
Absolutely.
Ceci, tell me you're gonna
blow it all in Vegas in one night.
I've done that before.
No, I would spread it out evenly.
I love it. Very, very smart.
Let's get back to our "Party Playlist."
Our first "Double Money" song
comes from Taio Cruz.
There's up to $20,000 on the line,
so go easy on those riffs.
Let's light this fuse.
It's "Dynamite."
[all cheering]
Ho ho ho!
Congratulations,
together you just banked...
$14,000!
[audience cheering]
And that means the total jackpot
is now worth...
$25,550!
Big money.
But...
who's going through to the next round?
Well, with a score
of 84%...
[audience] Ooh!
...for the second time, it's Ceci!
[Hope] Ceci!
Yeah!
How you feel about that, Ceci?
-Amazing.
-You sing as beautifully as you look.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
I'm sad to say
that another singer
is about to leave the stage.
I feel for y'all
because that decision ain't easy.
So, singers,
decide, man.
[sighs]
Ceci, you were
the most accurate singer again,
but who do you want to leave the stage?
This time around
I chose...
-Telvin.
-[Tituss groans]
[Ceci] I'm so sorry.
She delivers bad news so sweetly.
[laughs]
Telvin, who are you voting for?
I had to choose Hope.
[Tituss groans]
All right. And, Hope,
who did you choose?
I don't have a vendetta against her,
but I chose Mary again
because she's... [groans]
She's big competition, so...
-All right. Okay.
-[Hope] Sorry.
And finally, Mary.
The next pick is crucial.
Yeah.
Well, this time I chose Telvin.
-[audience] Ooh!
-He's amazing,
but he chose me...
Okay, we...
-[Tituss] Oh, no.
-We see each other.
I'm so sorry, Telvin.
You were so lovely.
-Would you stay and sing on with us?
-Yes.
-I got you.
-All right. Let's give it up for Telvin!
[audience cheering]
Thank you, Telvin.
Thank you, brother.
It looks like "Ladies Night" here.
All the ladies in the house, say, "Ow!"
[women] Ow!
And I'll say this,
whoever wins,
money cannot buy you happiness,
but it can buy you a fierce outfit.
That's true.
We're down to our final three singers.
And that means, it's "Golden Note" time.
Oh, boy.
Our next song is "Chandelier" by Sia,
and it contains three special notes,
one for each singer.
Anyone who holds their "Golden Note"
instantly wins $1,000,
and they take that home,
no matter what happens.
But...
there is no more voting.
The least accurate singer
will automatically be eliminated
-after our next song.
-[audience] Ooh!
Hope, got what it takes
to hit those "Golden Notes"?
-Feel it in my bones. Yes.
-All right, sister.
[audience cheers]
Ceci, who will be
your toughest opponent in "Chandelier"?
I can't even say,
they are both so amazing.
So, anyone can take it.
Mary, does "Chandelier" suit your voice?
You know, we're gonna find out.
Right, audience?
[audience cheering]
Dr. Mary.
I can't wait to find out.
This song can add an extra $20,000
to the jackpot
and remember,
hold for the gold.
Throw the switch,
this is "Chandelier."
[audience cheers]
[audience cheers]
Yes!
[audience cheering loudly]
[audience cheering loudly]
Did we do it?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Whoa!
-Whoo!
-Whoo!
Congratulations
to our "Golden Note" winners
taking home $1,000,
Ceci and Mary!
One thousand dollars each.
-To spend on me.
-[Ceci] Oh, thank you!
[Tituss] And together,
everyone just banked...
$14,000!
Yeah.
Which means the total jackpot
is now a whopping...
$39,550.
Whoo, whoo, whoo!
All right,
this party's about to get real VIP
because only two singers can compete
in our final vocal battle.
So, we need to lose the singer
with the lowest score.
[audience] Aww!
I know.
The least accurate singer of "Chandelier,"
who must now leave the stage...
was...
Hope.
[audience] Aww!
You guys are amazing.
-Thank you. So close.
-You were so close.
I'm really sorry.
Have you enjoyed your time here?
Yes. I have no regrets.
We have enjoyed having you here.
-Will you stay and sing on with us?
-Yes.
Let's give it up for Hope.
[all cheering]
Ladies, won't you come join me?
Hashtag TeamHope.
Mary and Ceci
have battled through four rounds
and now must face the final sing-off.
The most accurate singer of "Chandelier"
has the advantage
and gets to choose the final hit
on our "Party Playlist."
It was incredibly close,
but the most accurate singer
by just a fraction of a percentage
was...
Ceci.
Yes.
Congratulations, Ceci.
Thank you.
There are two huge songs to choose from.
Will she choose a song that plays
to her strength,
or her opponent's weaknesses?
Your first option is by Lady Gaga.
♪ Oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
♪ Caught in a bad romance ♪
-Yes!
-Or how about some Taylor Swift?
[Mary] Hmm.
♪ I knew you were trouble
When you walked in ♪
♪ Trouble, trouble, trouble ♪
Yes!
Ceci, what's it gonna be,
"Bad Romance"
or "I Knew You Were Trouble"?
This is a big decision.
Choose wisely.
"I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift.
[Mary] Yeah. Okay.
Why did you choose that?
'Cause what you did was rockin'.
If that was rockin',
we can rock it out, too.
I like how she thinks.
Yeah.
Mary, what song would you have chosen?
I probably would have went with Gaga.
All right. Good decision, Ceci.
[chuckles]
Good luck to you both.
For $39,550,
it's our final song.
Here's "I Knew You Were Trouble."
And this time,
I'm not gonna let you see the scores.
[snickers]
[audience cheers]
[Tituss] Whoa!
-Good job, girl.
-You too, girl.
Oh, man.
What a way to end our "Party Playlist."
Now it's time to find out
which of you just won...
$39,550.
Good money.
Ceci has won three rounds so far.
Mary has yet to win a round.
But that could still change.
It was an incredibly close battle,
right up to the very, very end.
With a score of 75%...
the winner is Mary!
[all cheering]
Thank you.
You're so welcome, baby.
You done it, girl.
You done it so good, girl.
So amazing.
Thank you.
Congratulations, Mary.
How do you feel?
I'm...
I'm at a loss for words.
For the first time,
I'm at a true loss for words.
Aww, sweetie.
What's up, doc?
[audience cheers]
You've just won $39,550,
plus your $1,000 "Golden Note" prize,
making a grand total of $40,550.
[audience cheering]
Ceci,
you were fabulous. We loved
having you on the show.
Congratulations are still in order,
'cause you get to take home
your $1,000 "Golden Note" prize.
Give it up for our singers!
And show some love for my Tight-Ass Band.
It's been one hell of a party.
I'm Tituss Burgess.
Don't go anywhere.
We've got new singers
and a brand new playlist,

[Tituss] Watch out.
Who will be your biggest rival?
Hmm,
everybody's got a powerful voice,
but I'm going to have to say Telvin.
-Oh!
-[audience] Ooh!
[Tituss] We'll see.
[audience cheers]
I nearly forgot. How could I be
so absent-minded, y'all?
I need to tell you
about my "Tituss Prize."
[audience cheers]
From now on, I've got $500
to award to one singer
who gives the best performance.
-I know, I'm too generous.
-[audience laughs]
I said "performance,"
'cause it ain't about singin'.
So don't be afraid
to shake your booty, all right.
All right. So...
will Ceci be
the most accurate singer again,
or is someone else
gonna bring their A-game
-to this "Party Playlist"?
-Oh.
Remember, all the lyrics
have been assigned randomly
so, singers, pay attention.
And once again,
there's $10,000 available to bank.
[audience cheering]
You want some Tituss advice?
If you wanna bank the money,
then stick to the melody.
It's time to swing
from the "Wrecking Ball."
Whoo!
[Tituss] Sing on!
Whoo!
[audience cheers]
[audience cheering]
[Tituss] That was lit to death.
That was fierce!
You deserve a round of applause.
Someone won my "Tituss Prize."
[audience cheers]
It goes to the contestant
whose performance screamed,
"Give me that damn money, Tituss."
I'm looking at you, Noble.
[audience cheers]
You've just won $500.
Yes!
How does it feel?
It feels amazing.
-Thank you so much.
-You're welcome.
And congratulations, everyone,
your performance of "Wrecking Ball"
just added...
$6,200!
[audience cheers]
Which means the total jackpot
is now worth...
$11,550!
And...
the singer with the highest score,
going straight into the next round
with 69%...
is Hope.
[audience cheers]
Oh, my gosh. Ooh!
-[Hope] Whoo!
-Whoop-whoop.
And there was less than 1% in the scores.
That was close.
Congratulations, Hope.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Hope will sing on,
but no on else is safe.
It's that time again.
Our singers gotta decide
who they want to leave the stage.
Decide!
And here's their scores, just for you.
Will they choose someone they think
is missing their notes,
or try to remove a rival?
Hmm.
Let's start with our most accurate singer
who's safe from elimination.
Hope,
who do you want to leave the stage?
[exhales] Okay, so...
I'm sorry to say I chose Telvin.
Okay. All right.
Telvin, who did you choose?
Noble, I love you,
but I chose you.
[Tituss] Oh.
Noble, who did you choose?
I picked Ceci...
because she has excellent pitch
and she hits the notes on time.
-She's competition.
-All right.
Okay. Ceci?
I picked Noble.
[audience] Aww!
This is getting close.
Mary?
Well, this time around I picked Ceci
'cause I think that
she is stiff competition.
Well, we have a tie.
[audience] Ooh!
I am so nervous.
Noble and Ceci both got two votes.
So it's game over for the singer
who got the lowest score.
And I can now reveal
the least accurate singer
was...
Noble.
[audience] Aww!
But don't forget, you still take home
your $500 "Titus Prize."
[audience cheers]
Will you stay and sing on?
-Yes.
-All right. Let's give it up for Noble.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Whoo!
[Tituss] Four singers are left on stage,
so how about we pump up the volume
at this party?
Let's double the money.
Every song is now worth $20,000.
-[audience cheering]
-Whoo!
[Tituss] Yes!
Telvin, you're on your own.
[all laughing]
-You against the ladies.
-[audience member] Yeah!
Let's do it.
[audience cheering]
Mary, are you competitive?
I can be, yes.
All those years of schooling
and such a challenging field
have taught me
to learn some competitiveness.
Hopefully I can bring that here today.
She is so diplomatic. I love it.
Mary, If you win our jackpot,
what would you spend it on?
I'm really big on giving
back to charity,
so I would make sure
that I give some support.
Absolutely.
Ceci, tell me you're gonna
blow it all in Vegas in one night.
I've done that before.
No, I would spread it out evenly.
I love it. Very, very smart.
Let's get back to our "Party Playlist."
Our first "Double Money" song
comes from Taio Cruz.
There's up to $20,000 on the line,
so go easy on those riffs.
Let's light this fuse.
It's "Dynamite."
[all cheering]
Ho ho ho!
Congratulations,
together you just banked...
$14,000!
[audience cheering]
And that means the total jackpot
is now worth...
$25,550!
Big money.
But...
who's going through to the next round?
Well, with a score
of 84%...
[audience] Ooh!
...for the second time, it's Ceci!
[Hope] Ceci!
Yeah!
How you feel about that, Ceci?
-Amazing.
-You sing as beautifully as you look.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
I'm sad to say
that another singer
is about to leave the stage.
I feel for y'all
because that decision ain't easy.
So, singers,
decide, man.
[sighs]
Ceci, you were
the most accurate singer again,
but who do you want to leave the stage?
This time around
I chose...
-Telvin.
-[Tituss groans]
[Ceci] I'm so sorry.
She delivers bad news so sweetly.
[laughs]
Telvin, who are you voting for?
I had to choose Hope.
[Tituss groans]
All right. And, Hope,
who did you choose?
I don't have a vendetta against her,
but I chose Mary again
because she's... [groans]
She's big competition, so...
-All right. Okay.
-[Hope] Sorry.
And finally, Mary.
The next pick is crucial.
Yeah.
Well, this time I chose Telvin.
-[audience] Ooh!
-He's amazing,
but he chose me...
Okay, we...
-[Tituss] Oh, no.
-We see each other.
I'm so sorry, Telvin.
You were so lovely.
-Would you stay and sing on with us?
-Yes.
-I got you.
-All right. Let's give it up for Telvin!
[audience cheering]
Thank you, Telvin.
Thank you, brother.
It looks like "Ladies Night" here.
All the ladies in the house, say, "Ow!"
[women] Ow!
And I'll say this,
whoever wins,
money cannot buy you happiness,
but it can buy you a fierce outfit.
That's true.
We're down to our final three singers.
And that means, it's "Golden Note" time.
Oh, boy.
Our next song is "Chandelier" by Sia,
and it contains three special notes,
one for each singer.
Anyone who holds their "Golden Note"
instantly wins $1,000,
and they take that home,
no matter what happens.
But...
there is no more voting.
The least accurate singer
will automatically be eliminated
-after our next song.
-[audience] Ooh!
Hope, got what it takes
to hit those "Golden Notes"?
-Feel it in my bones. Yes.
-All right, sister.
[audience cheers]
Ceci, who will be
your toughest opponent in "Chandelier"?
I can't even say,
they are both so amazing.
So, anyone can take it.
Mary, does "Chandelier" suit your voice?
You know, we're gonna find out.
Right, audience?
[audience cheering]
Dr. Mary.
I can't wait to find out.
This song can add an extra $20,000
to the jackpot
and remember,
hold for the gold.
Throw the switch,
this is "Chandelier."
[audience cheers]
[audience cheers]
Yes!
[audience cheering loudly]
[audience cheering loudly]
Did we do it?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Whoa!
-Whoo!
-Whoo!
Congratulations
to our "Golden Note" winners
taking home $1,000,
Ceci and Mary!
One thousand dollars each.
-To spend on me.
-[Ceci] Oh, thank you!
[Tituss] And together,
everyone just banked...
$14,000!
Yeah.
Which means the total jackpot
is now a whopping...
$39,550.
Whoo, whoo, whoo!
All right,
this party's about to get real VIP
because only two singers can compete
in our final vocal battle.
So, we need to lose the singer
with the lowest score.
[audience] Aww!
I know.
The least accurate singer of "Chandelier,"
who must now leave the stage...
was...
Hope.
[audience] Aww!
You guys are amazing.
-Thank you. So close.
-You were so close.
I'm really sorry.
Have you enjoyed your time here?
Yes. I have no regrets.
We have enjoyed having you here.
-Will you stay and sing on with us?
-Yes.
Let's give it up for Hope.
[all cheering]
Ladies, won't you come join me?
Hashtag TeamHope.
Mary and Ceci
have battled through four rounds
and now must face the final sing-off.
The most accurate singer of "Chandelier"
has the advantage
and gets to choose the final hit
on our "Party Playlist."
It was incredibly close,
but the most accurate singer
by just a fraction of a percentage
was...
Ceci.
Yes.
Congratulations, Ceci.
Thank you.
There are two huge songs to choose from.
Will she choose a song that plays
to her strength,
or her opponent's weaknesses?
Your first option is by Lady Gaga.
♪ Oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
♪ Caught in a bad romance ♪
-Yes!
-Or how about some Taylor Swift?
[Mary] Hmm.
♪ I knew you were trouble
When you walked in ♪
♪ Trouble, trouble, trouble ♪
Yes!
Ceci, what's it gonna be,
"Bad Romance"
or "I Knew You Were Trouble"?
This is a big decision.
Choose wisely.
"I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift.
[Mary] Yeah. Okay.
Why did you choose that?
'Cause what you did was rockin'.
If that was rockin',
we can rock it out, too.
I like how she thinks.
Yeah.
Mary, what song would you have chosen?
I probably would have went with Gaga.
All right. Good decision, Ceci.
[chuckles]
Good luck to you both.
For $39,550,
it's our final song.
Here's "I Knew You Were Trouble."
And this time,
I'm not gonna let you see the scores.
[snickers]
[audience cheers]
[Tituss] Whoa!
-Good job, girl.
-You too, girl.
Oh, man.
What a way to end our "Party Playlist."
Now it's time to find out
which of you just won...
$39,550.
Good money.
Ceci has won three rounds so far.
Mary has yet to win a round.
But that could still change.
It was an incredibly close battle,
right up to the very, very end.
With a score of 75%...
the winner is Mary!
[all cheering]
Thank you.
You're so welcome, baby.
You done it, girl.
You done it so good, girl.
So amazing.
Thank you.
Congratulations, Mary.
How do you feel?
I'm...
I'm at a loss for words.
For the first time,
I'm at a true loss for words.
Aww, sweetie.
What's up, doc?
[audience cheers]
You've just won $39,550,
plus your $1,000 "Golden Note" prize,
making a grand total of $40,550.
[audience cheering]
Ceci,
you were fabulous. We loved
having you on the show.
Congratulations are still in order,
'cause you get to take home
your $1,000 "Golden Note" prize.
Give it up for our singers!
And show some love for my Tight-Ass Band.
It's been one hell of a party.
I'm Tituss Burgess.
Don't go anywhere.
We've got new singers
and a brand new playlist,
coming right up.
Remember, y'all,
we're all we've got,
so let's Sing On!
Oh, my God!
