Whoo!
Welcome to Sing On!
Five, massive, chart-topping hits,
six contestants, and a jackpot
of up to $60,000!
Whoo!
That's big money.
You're welcome.
[audience cheers]
Mona, welcome to Sing On!
Have you ever performed
for a crowd this big?
I have.
For my eighth grade graduation,
I sang "The Way We Were"
by Barbra Streisand...
-Oh.
-...in front of 2,000 people.
-Wow!
-[audience cheers]
Do you love Barbra Streisand, still?
Barbra Streisand will always be the queen.
I completely agree. I completely agree.
Welcome to the show.
-Hi, Donovan!
-Holler!
-[audience laughs]
-Oh! Who's your musical hero?
The queen, for me, is Tina Turner.
-Oh!
-[audience cheers]
She is my idol, she is everything.
Have you seen her live?
In the year 2000, I saw her 21 times.
[audience laughs]
-You are a superfan.
-Yes.
-Now, take that, Barbra! [laughs]
-[Tituss laughs]
[audience laughs]
-I'm just playing. I'm j...
-[both laughing]
We got some fanboys and girls
in here tonight. Let's have a good time.
We'll catch up with everyone else
later in the show.
Well, get those voices ready.
Our first song is worth
up to $10,000!
[audience cheering]
But who's judging their voices?
Well, it's not me.
♪ It's the Sing On!vocal analyzer ♪
[audience cheering]
Whoo!
FYI, the vocal analyzer compares
this performance to the original artist.
The more they sing in tune,
the more money they add to the jackpot,
and one of them
is guaranteed to win it all.
Only the most accurate singer
goes on to the next round,
while someone else
gets voted out of the game.
You've got to be cruel to be kind.
[audience] Aww!
And the lyrics are assigned randomly,
so they have no idea
when it's their turn to sing. [laughs]
[audience laughs]
Y'all ready for some music?
[audience cheering]
Our first song is "Believe" by Cher.
Ho-ho-ho-ho!
There's a lot of notes to hit,
and your vocal control
needs to be on point.
Take it away. [chuckles]
[audience cheering]
-[audience cheering]
-[Tituss] Whoo! Oh, my God.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh, man.
That was poppin'.
The vocal analyzer has checked every note
and out of a possible $10,000,
you all banked...
Listen to this,
$6,500!
Yeah, that was a tough opening number.
You made a great start.
That money is safe in the jackpot.
Now, the singers have no idea
how anyone scored,
but which singer
has the highest score
and is going on to the next round?
Well...
-[audience] Ooh!
-...with 73%,
the most accurate singer is...
-He's simply the best, it's Donovan!
-What?
[audience cheering]
[Donovan laughs]
[cheering continues]
Yeah.
How does that feel, Donovan?
I feel great. I'm surprised it was me.
Wow.
I thought it would be Rebecca.
She sang great.
I'm surprised.
So, Donovan will sing on,
but everyone else faces elimination.
[audience] Ooh!
But who goes?
Well, here's the twist.
It's up to the singers to decide.
[snickers]
[audience] Ooh!
So, singers,
decide!
And here's their scores, just for you.
Will they choose someone
who they think is missing their notes,
or try to remove a rival? Hmm...
All right, Donovan,
since you're safe from elimination,
you go first.
-Oh... Oh, God.
-[Tituss laughs]
Who do you want to leave?
A singer who's not added to the jackpot,
or a potential rival?
Who got your vote?
None of them.
[Tituss, audience] Aww.
Team player.
You gotta choose.
I pick Zak.
[audience] Ooh!
I had to pick and choose,
and I didn't know who to pick.
That's all right.
Zak, what about you?
I picked Mona.
I think she struggled
with the entrance to her part,
which I think I also did.
If you miss a note,
you miss the cash in this game.
So, all right, Mona,
who did you choose, darling?
Um, I chose Zak as well.
-Okay.
-[audience] Aww!
Holly, who got your vote?
I chose Mona.
[audience] Ooh!
I'm sorry.
[Tituss] This is a close vote.
All right. Chaneé, who did you choose?
I also chose Zak.
[audience] Ooh!
Just, the pitch gotta be on.
We gotta get this money.
Fair enough.
-It's the name of the game, right?
-[audience cheers]
And, Rebecca?
I also chose Mona.
[audience] Aww!
We have a tie.
Mona and Zak
have received three votes each.
Which means whoever has the lowest score
according to the vocal analyzer
is out of the game.
[audience] Ooh!
And I'm very sad to say...
that that person is...
-Mona.
-[audience] Aww!
I'm sorry.
Have you enjoyed your time here?
-Yeah.
-Would you stay and sing on with us?
-Yes, I would.
-Give it up for Mona.
[audience cheering]
Thank you.
Uh-oh. I've got some bad news
for our remaining singers.
The least accurate singer
is still in the game.
-[audience] Ooh!
-They banked the least cash.
Yikes.
And speaking of cash,
I forgot to tell you all
about the "Tituss Prize"!
I've got $500 to give to one singer
who gives the best performance.
My prize is not about the vocal.
So bust out your best moves, all right?
Rebecca, have you got
any competition experience?
I do. I was in pageants for five years,
and my most recent title
was "Miss California Sweetheart."
And I competed
at the National Sweetheart Pageant,
and was first runner-up.
-[audience cheers]
-Wow.
Our next "Chart Topper" really puts
the A-list in our playlist.
It's "Diamonds" by Rihanna,
and it's worth $10,000.
[audience cheering]
Go easy on those riffs,
the lyrics stay the same,
but the melody doesn't.
It's time to shine.
Let's sing on!
[audience cheering]
[audience cheering]
[audience cheering]
[audience cheering]
-[Tituss] Ah!
-Whoo!
Oh, it sparkled.
It shivered, it glowed.
That chart-topping song has delivered
a show-stopping performance.
Somebody just won the "Tituss Prize"!
Oh, yes!
And guess who I'm looking at?
-Chaneé.
-[audience cheering]
-You just won 500 bucks.
-Cool.
How does it feel?
-Amazing!
-[Tituss laughs]
Congratulations to everyone,
your performance of "Diamonds"
just added...
$5,950!
-[audience cheering]
-Which means the jackpot is now worth...
$12,450!
And the singer with the highest score,
going straight to the next round,
with 67%...
It's our comeback kid, Zak.
[audience cheering]
Whoo!
[Tituss] Yes!
Take your bow.
Does that feel better now, Zak?
It feels right.
-Good, good, good!
-[audience laughs]
You guys, there was only 1%
in the score.
-[Donovan] Wow.
-Yeah, only 1% difference.
Zak is guaranteed to sing again,
but no one else is safe.
It's that time.
Our singers gotta decide
who they want to leave the stage.
Decide.
Now remember,
the singers and the studio audience
have no idea how anyone scored.
All right, let's start
with our most accurate singer
who's safe from elimination.
Zak, who do you want to leave the stage?
I voted for Donovan.
-[audience] Ooh!
-He sang incredibly well
and, actually, a beautiful harmony line
that is not the one
that Rihanna sings in the original.
We got a purist in the house.
He knows his music.
Donovan, who got your vote?
I picked Holly.
Holly, who got your vote?
I chose Rebecca.
Tell us why.
I just...
That's who I decided wasn't...
-She's like, "Just 'cause."
-[Holly laughs]
"Because that's who I wanted, I mean..."
[chuckles]
All right. Rebecca, who got your vote?
I also chose Donovan.
-Um...
-[audience] Ooh!
Oh, boy.
There were
many "shine bright like a diamond's"
and some were a little pitchy.
Oh, some of them didn't shine so bright.
Chanée, who got your vote?
I actually voted for Holly.
[audience] Ooh!
[sighs] We've got another tie.
Holly and Donovan both got two votes
which means whoever got the lowest score,
according to the vocal analyzer,
is out of the game.
I can now reveal
the least accurate singer
was...
-Donovan.
-[audience moans]
-Donovan...
-[audience cheering]
...I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
We loved having you here.
Will you stay and sing on with us?
Yes.
Give it up for Donovan!
[audience cheering]
Thank you, Donovan.
All right, y'all.
We're down to four singers
so I'm going to double the money.
There's no "I" in team,
but there is an "us" in Tituss.
[audience laughs]
From now on,
every song is worth $20,000.
[audience cheering]
Chanée, if you win,
what will you spend it on?
I am going to build a karaoke studio
inside my house,
that's how much I love karaoke.
-I love it.
-I'm so exited.
I love it.
Holly, and if you win the jackpot
what are you gonna do with that money?
I'll move out
of the neighborhood I'm currently in.
Not a great situation. And then I would...
I would like to donate a portion of it
to the Kentucky Humane Society.
Oh.
I love those boots, by the way.
-Those are fantastic.
-[audience cheering]
I love the whole ensemble.
You look wonderful.
Let's get back
to our chart-topping playlist.
This "Double Money" song
took Starship to the top of the charts
way back in 1987...
-before I was born.
-[audience laughs]
This song starts nice and easy,
but don't let the key change
catch you out.
"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now."
[audience cheering]
[audience cheering]
Oh, man, I love that song.
You guys did a great job.
That was a jackpot-jumping performance
and congratulations to all of you
because together
you all just banked...
-$15,800!
-[audience cheering]
And that means the total jackpot
is now worth...
$28,250!
Hallelujah! [laughs]
But who's going through to the next round?
Well...
two of you scored 84%...
[audience] Ooh!
The person who won it
by a fraction...
was...
Holly.
[audience cheering]
Congratulations, Holly.
Holly, are you feeling jolly?
Yes.
You're safe from elimination,
but one singer
is about to leave the stage.
[audience] Ooh!
Who should go?
-Singers... decide. [sobs]
-[audience] Aww!
[audience laughs]
Remember, the singers have no idea
how anyone scored.
We've had a different winner
every round.
Holly, you won this time
so who do you want to leave the stage?
This time I chose Chanée,
but it was strategic, like,
you're my biggest competition.
Back-handed compliment.
-[audience laughs]
-Just teasing. Chanée?
I picked Zak, again.
Oh.
Just a little pitchy at certain parts
and we want to gather
all the money we can.
-So I wanna...
-You want that karaoke...
I'm just saying.
-Like...
-I get it, I get it. [laughs]
-Zak, what about you, brother?
-I chose Chanée.
Uh, I heard a part in the bridge
where she was pitchy.
-Rebecca, who did you choose?
-I also chose Chanée.
-So sorry.
-[audience] Aww!
-Chanée, I'm so sorry.
-It's all right.
You received the most votes
and must leave the stage.
-Did you have a good time?
-I had a great time.
[audience cheering]
You get your "Tituss Prize,"
so all is not lost.
-Will you stay and sing on with us?
-Yes.
-Give it up for Chanée!
-[audience cheering]
We're down to our final three
and that means
it's "Golden Note" time!
Our next song
is "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele
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.
-But here's the bad news...
-[audience] Ooh!
The least accurate singer
will automatically be eliminated
after our next song.
There is no more voting.
[audience] Ooh!
Zak, are you confident
about hitting all those notes?
More confident than I've ever been
about winning $1,000
-in my life.
-Yes!
This is a big song.
It could leave you
rolling in the dough
by adding $20,000 to the jackpot!
And don't forget:
hold for the gold.
Sing on!
[audience cheering]
[Tituss] Whoo!
Whoa!
Congratulations
to our "Golden Note" winners.
You all just won $1,000.
[audience cheering]
Cash money, honey.
You've done Adele proud,
and together everyone just banked...
$15,050!
-[audience cheers]
-The total jackpot is now
a whopping $43,300!
All right.
But don't book that private jet just yet.
Only two singers can go head-to-head
in our final vocal battle.
[audience] Ooh!
So, we need to lose the singer
with the lowest score.
The least accurate singer
of "Rolling in the Deep"
was...
[mouthing]
Zak.
[audience] Aww!
[audience cheering]
Zak, you were so close
to reaching the final.
I'm really sorry.
I had trouble finding my note
in the first part of the song
-I knew I messed up.
-But did you have a good time with us?
I had a great time.
I won 1,000 bucks.
-That's the attitude.
-[audience cheers]
I said I'd hit the "Golden Note",
not come in on the right note.
I love it. I love it.
-Will you stay and sing on with us?
-Yes.
Thank you, Zak. Give it up for Zak!
Ladies, would you come join me?
Holly and Rebecca
now face the final sing-off.
Now, Holly,
tell us how you're feeling right now.
Scared, happy, excited, nervous,
all of them.
I'm excited for you.
Rebecca, when you woke up today,
did you think you'd be here?
I said to my husband this morning,
"I'll get to the final two
and get first runner-up again."
No, don't think like that!
Be confident.
We believe in both of you.
The most accurate singer has the advantage
and chooses the final hit
on our "Chart Toppers" playlist.
And with 83%,
that decision goes to...
Holly.
[audience cheers]
There are two huge number-one songs
to choose from.
Will she choose a song
that plays to her strengths
or her opponent's weakness?
The first option is by Britney.
♪ Give me a sign ♪
♪ Hit me, baby, one more time ♪
[Tituss laughs]
Or maybe you prefer the Spice Girls!
♪ If you wanna be my lover
You gotta get with my friends ♪
♪ Make it last forever
Friendship never ends ♪
Holly, which one do you want?
"Baby One More Time" or "Wannabe."
This is a big decision.
The first CD that I ever bought
with my own money,
was Spiceby the Spice Girls.
-Is that right?
-It is.
Serendipitous?
So I would be doing them a disservice,
'cause I'm wearing the shoes
and all that,
-if I didn't choose...
-Purple Spice!
[audience cheers]
...if I didn't choose it,
so I gotta go with it.
-What song would you have chosen, Rebecca?
-Not this one.
[all laughing]
-I'm sorry.
-[Tituss] Whoa! This is so tense.
I'm rooting for you both.
For $43,300, it's our final song.
Here's "Wannabe."
[audience cheers]
This time, I'm not going to let you
see the scores.
[audience cheers]
[audience cheering]
Oh, man!
That's how you close out a show!
Give some love to our two finalists.
Yes!
Time to find out which one of you
just won $43,300.
[audience cheers]
Now, Holly, you chose the song,
but was it the right choice?
-Do you think you nailed it?
-I hope so.
I would be very mad
at my younger self if I did not.
[Titus, Rebecca laughing]
The scores are in
for your final performance.
Ah...
It was so close.
It was so close, in fact,
that it was less than 2%...
-Oh, my God.
-...between their final scores.
But the winner is...
Holly.
[audience cheering]
You did it!
You were so good.
Oh, my God.
Congratulations!
You've just won $43,300,
plus your $1,000 "Golden Note" prize,
making a grand total of $44,300!
[audience cheering]
Oh, my dear, you were so close.
And don't forget,
you still get to take home
the $1,000 "Golden Note" prize.
Now raise the roof for our Tight-Ass Band.
[audience cheers]
Don't go anywhere.
We've got new singers
and a brand new playlist, coming right up.
Remember, we're all we've got,
so let's Sing On!

your performance of "Diamonds"
just added...
$5,950!
-[audience cheering]
-Which means the jackpot is now worth...
$12,450!
And the singer with the highest score,
going straight to the next round,
with 67%...
It's our comeback kid, Zak.
[audience cheering]
Whoo!
[Tituss] Yes!
Take your bow.
Does that feel better now, Zak?
It feels right.
-Good, good, good!
-[audience laughs]
You guys, there was only 1%
in the score.
-[Donovan] Wow.
-Yeah, only 1% difference.
Zak is guaranteed to sing again,
but no one else is safe.
It's that time.
Our singers gotta decide
who they want to leave the stage.
Decide.
Now remember,
the singers and the studio audience
have no idea how anyone scored.
All right, let's start
with our most accurate singer
who's safe from elimination.
Zak, who do you want to leave the stage?
I voted for Donovan.
-[audience] Ooh!
-He sang incredibly well
and, actually, a beautiful harmony line
that is not the one
that Rihanna sings in the original.
We got a purist in the house.
He knows his music.
Donovan, who got your vote?
I picked Holly.
Holly, who got your vote?
I chose Rebecca.
Tell us why.
I just...
That's who I decided wasn't...
-She's like, "Just 'cause."
-[Holly laughs]
"Because that's who I wanted, I mean..."
[chuckles]
All right. Rebecca, who got your vote?
I also chose Donovan.
-Um...
-[audience] Ooh!
Oh, boy.
There were
many "shine bright like a diamond's"
and some were a little pitchy.
Oh, some of them didn't shine so bright.
Chanée, who got your vote?
I actually voted for Holly.
[audience] Ooh!
[sighs] We've got another tie.
Holly and Donovan both got two votes
which means whoever got the lowest score,
according to the vocal analyzer,
is out of the game.
I can now reveal
the least accurate singer
was...
-Donovan.
-[audience moans]
-Donovan...
-[audience cheering]
...I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
We loved having you here.
Will you stay and sing on with us?
Yes.
Give it up for Donovan!
[audience cheering]
Thank you, Donovan.
All right, y'all.
We're down to four singers
so I'm going to double the money.
There's no "I" in team,
but there is an "us" in Tituss.
[audience laughs]
From now on,
every song is worth $20,000.
[audience cheering]
Chanée, if you win,
what will you spend it on?
I am going to build a karaoke studio
inside my house,
that's how much I love karaoke.
-I love it.
-I'm so exited.
I love it.
Holly, and if you win the jackpot
what are you gonna do with that money?
I'll move out
of the neighborhood I'm currently in.
Not a great situation. And then I would...
I would like to donate a portion of it
to the Kentucky Humane Society.
Oh.
I love those boots, by the way.
-Those are fantastic.
-[audience cheering]
I love the whole ensemble.
You look wonderful.
Let's get back
to our chart-topping playlist.
This "Double Money" song
took Starship to the top of the charts
way back in 1987...
-before I was born.
-[audience laughs]
This song starts nice and easy,
but don't let the key change
catch you out.
"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now."
[audience cheering]
[audience cheering]
Oh, man, I love that song.
You guys did a great job.
That was a jackpot-jumping performance
and congratulations to all of you
because together
you all just banked...
-$15,800!
-[audience cheering]
And that means the total jackpot
is now worth...
$28,250!
Hallelujah! [laughs]
But who's going through to the next round?
Well...
two of you scored 84%...
[audience] Ooh!
The person who won it
by a fraction...
was...
Holly.
[audience cheering]
Congratulations, Holly.
Holly, are you feeling jolly?
Yes.
You're safe from elimination,
but one singer
is about to leave the stage.
[audience] Ooh!
Who should go?
-Singers... decide. [sobs]
-[audience] Aww!
[audience laughs]
Remember, the singers have no idea
how anyone scored.
We've had a different winner
every round.
Holly, you won this time
so who do you want to leave the stage?
This time I chose Chanée,
but it was strategic, like,
you're my biggest competition.
Back-handed compliment.
-[audience laughs]
-Just teasing. Chanée?
I picked Zak, again.
Oh.
Just a little pitchy at certain parts
and we want to gather
all the money we can.
-So I wanna...
-You want that karaoke...
I'm just saying.
-Like...
-I get it, I get it. [laughs]
-Zak, what about you, brother?
-I chose Chanée.
Uh, I heard a part in the bridge
where she was pitchy.
-Rebecca, who did you choose?
-I also chose Chanée.
-So sorry.
-[audience] Aww!
-Chanée, I'm so sorry.
-It's all right.
You received the most votes
and must leave the stage.
-Did you have a good time?
-I had a great time.
[audience cheering]
You get your "Tituss Prize,"
so all is not lost.
-Will you stay and sing on with us?
-Yes.
-Give it up for Chanée!
-[audience cheering]
We're down to our final three
and that means
it's "Golden Note" time!
Our next song
is "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele
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.
-But here's the bad news...
-[audience] Ooh!
The least accurate singer
will automatically be eliminated
after our next song.
There is no more voting.
[audience] Ooh!
Zak, are you confident
about hitting all those notes?
More confident than I've ever been
about winning $1,000
-in my life.
-Yes!
This is a big song.
It could leave you
rolling in the dough
by adding $20,000 to the jackpot!
And don't forget:
hold for the gold.
Sing on!
[audience cheering]
[Tituss] Whoo!
Whoa!
Congratulations
to our "Golden Note" winners.
You all just won $1,000.
[audience cheering]
Cash money, honey.
You've done Adele proud,
and together everyone just banked...
$15,050!
-[audience cheers]
-The total jackpot is now
a whopping $43,300!
All right.
But don't book that private jet just yet.
Only two singers can go head-to-head
in our final vocal battle.
[audience] Ooh!
So, we need to lose the singer
with the lowest score.
The least accurate singer
of "Rolling in the Deep"
was...
[mouthing]
Zak.
[audience] Aww!
[audience cheering]
Zak, you were so close
to reaching the final.
I'm really sorry.
I had trouble finding my note
in the first part of the song
-I knew I messed up.
-But did you have a good time with us?
I had a great time.
I won 1,000 bucks.
-That's the attitude.
-[audience cheers]
I said I'd hit the "Golden Note",
not come in on the right note.
I love it. I love it.
-Will you stay and sing on with us?
-Yes.
Thank you, Zak. Give it up for Zak!
Ladies, would you come join me?
Holly and Rebecca
now face the final sing-off.
Now, Holly,
tell us how you're feeling right now.
Scared, happy, excited, nervous,
all of them.
I'm excited for you.
Rebecca, when you woke up today,
did you think you'd be here?
I said to my husband this morning,
"I'll get to the final two
and get first runner-up again."
No, don't think like that!
Be confident.
We believe in both of you.
The most accurate singer has the advantage
and chooses the final hit
on our "Chart Toppers" playlist.
And with 83%,
that decision goes to...
Holly.
[audience cheers]
There are two huge number-one songs
to choose from.
Will she choose a song
that plays to her strengths
or her opponent's weakness?
The first option is by Britney.
♪ Give me a sign ♪
♪ Hit me, baby, one more time ♪
[Tituss laughs]
Or maybe you prefer the Spice Girls!
♪ If you wanna be my lover
You gotta get with my friends ♪
♪ Make it last forever
Friendship never ends ♪
Holly, which one do you want?
"Baby One More Time" or "Wannabe."
This is a big decision.
The first CD that I ever bought
with my own money,
was Spiceby the Spice Girls.
-Is that right?
-It is.
Serendipitous?
So I would be doing them a disservice,
'cause I'm wearing the shoes
and all that,
-if I didn't choose...
-Purple Spice!
[audience cheers]
...if I didn't choose it,
so I gotta go with it.
-What song would you have chosen, Rebecca?
-Not this one.
[all laughing]
-I'm sorry.
-[Tituss] Whoa! This is so tense.
I'm rooting for you both.
For $43,300, it's our final song.
Here's "Wannabe."
[audience cheers]
This time, I'm not going to let you
see the scores.
[audience cheers]
[audience cheering]
Oh, man!
That's how you close out a show!
Give some love to our two finalists.
Yes!
Time to find out which one of you
just won $43,300.
[audience cheers]
Now, Holly, you chose the song,
but was it the right choice?
-Do you think you nailed it?
-I hope so.
I would be very mad
at my younger self if I did not.
[Titus, Rebecca laughing]
The scores are in
for your final performance.
Ah...
It was so close.
It was so close, in fact,
that it was less than 2%...
-Oh, my God.
-...between their final scores.
But the winner is...
Holly.
[audience cheering]
You did it!
You were so good.
Oh, my God.
Congratulations!
You've just won $43,300,
plus your $1,000 "Golden Note" prize,
making a grand total of $44,300!
[audience cheering]
Oh, my dear, you were so close.
And don't forget,
you still get to take home
the $1,000 "Golden Note" prize.
Now raise the roof for our Tight-Ass Band.
[audience cheers]
Don't go anywhere.
We've got new singers
and a brand new playlist, coming right up.
Remember, we're all we've got,
so let's Sing On!
