Mr Shu’s POV:
Mr Shu: Ok guys settle in your seats, we’re performing last, ok, so we’ll have a chance to check out competition, the judges this time are singer Una Healy…
Mercedes: Who???
Mr Shu: She’s in a British band called The Saturdays…
Quinn: No way! Una’s here! I love the Saturdays!
Mr Shu: Also professional life coach Amanda Guide and an owner of a small insurance company Mr Toby right
The lights dim in the audience and everyone settles in their seats, Una Healy takes the stage and smiles to the audience
Una: Hello everyone! I’m Una Healy and I’m one of the judges for the Western Ohio sectionals, and our first contestants up are the Jane Adams Academy!
Una leaves the stage and the Jane Adams girls come on dressed in green and black tops and shorts, they perform two songs, the first is S&M by Rihanna, using their signature hairography, I look over at the judges, Una is smiling and scribbling notes, Amanda looks disgusted at the very sight of them and Toby just looks bored, so far things are going OK. Once the girls had finished performing Amanda makes her way to the stage
Amanda: Thank you girls, our next contestants come from The Navy school of Ohio, please welcome, the Water Boys!
A group of boys take to the stage wearing blue sailor outfits and wearing sailor caps, they stand in a perfect formation, and begin to sing, they sing Overboard by Justin Bieber and then Wade in the water by Eva Cassidy, they have great voices, but they don’t dance, good thing we pulled Mike and Brittany into dance when we sing Don’t stop me now… Once the boys have finished the audience clap, I look over at the judges, Una yawns, Amanda smiles and Toby gets to his feet when he claps. He then makes his way up to the front
Toby: Their will now be a brief intermission, snacks are available to purchase at the front desk
Mr Shu: Come on guys, meeting in the green room.
*No one’s POV*
Mr Shu: So what did you think?
Santana: Those navy fitties were good singers but they aint exactly a birdie on the wing
Rachel: Yeah, but the Jane Adam’s girls were good….
Puck: They won’t be good enough to beat us though!
Lauren: That’s true
Mr Shu: Ok guys, let’s get you warmed up, repeat after me, me me me me me me me
Glee club: Me me me me me me me
*Backstage*
Sam: Hey sweetheart, are you nervous
Mercedes: No way, we’re totally gunna win this thing!
Sam: Aww! I love you
*They kiss*
Finn: Hey Rachel, are you ok?
Rachel: Yeah totally!
Finn: Do you miss the spotlight?
Rachel: Not really, I don’t need attention right now
Finn: You know what?
Rachel: Huh?
Finn: That baby is the luckiest person alive, because they have you as their mommy
Rachel: And you as their daddy
Finn: Aww…
*They kiss, but part quickly as the curtains open, Mercedes takes to the centre of the stage*
Mr Shu’s POV:
I watch as Mercedes sings her solo, she’s such a talented girl, I don’t know why I didn’t think of giving her a solo before, she really knows how to move an audience, she sings so perfectly and I should have realised it sooner, once she has finished the kids change and perform don’t stop me now, I watch as Mike and Brittany do their dance and everyone sings some lines, the audience whoop and cheer and clap and people begin to get to their feet and dance along, and by the end of the song the New Directions have the whole audience on their feet cheering and clapping for them.
*Over in the judges room*
Toby: So what did you think?
Una: I really liked those Jane Adams girls!
Amanda: Urgh, juvenile delinquents, shaking the booty and what not, and what was with the Rihanna song, is that really appropriate for a show choir competition?
Toby: I found their performance lacked character! Now I thought those navy boys really had something there
Una: No way, they didn’t dance just sat there and sang, I admit that they’re good singers but a performance needs energy
Amanda: I agree with Una, where was the passion? How about those other kids? They had lots of energy and soul
Una: They were quite good, and that Asian boy could really dance
Toby: I don’t know, I’ve never even heard of the songs they performed
Una: Well I think we’ve all made up our minds… lets vote!
Comment to let me know what you think! xx
