| 6 | "I've had a long career, but I’ve had to learn the hard way, that fame isn’t everything. Sure, it got me the houses, the sports cars, rocking on the yachts with the glitterati. But in spite of my success, fame took its toll and I fell into some bad business deals. My personal life was a mess, and worst of all, I lost my sense of self. All the signs were telling me I had to get away and take it easy. So I traded the fancy houses for a chicken coop. And my entourage became a donkey named Jasper. I built my dream home, I even found my true love and started a family. If there’s one thing I learned, life is about redefining yourself. Sometimes you gotta lose it all to gain everything." |
| 7 | "Last week was a blast, even though I had to fight my way out of the smackdown. But of course I made it, because one thing people should know about me is I love to win. That’s why I'm so competitive at everything I do. Whether it’s music or sports. It’s pushed me to become a star in my game. I wrestled in high school and was so good I could have gone to college for it. But I needed more. So I drove race cars, earned a competition license and like a boss, I raced all over America and the U.K. Behind the wheel feels like home sweet home. You can talk to talk, but in these challenges you've either got it or you don’t. That’s why I’m here to prove that I got what it takes to win it all. Who doesn’t love a little competition?" |
| 10 | "Don’t underestimate a short king. Cuddle Monster might have a few inches on me but like David and Goliath, this Anteater came out on top."
Producer: "So, what song is of special significance in your life?" "Tonight, I’m singing ‘Johnny B. Goode’ because I grew up listening to Chuck Berry on the radio and I collected all of his 45 RPM records. When my mom signed me up for guitar lessons at 5 years old, this is one of the first songs I learned to play on my right-handed guitar. And it’s not easy when you’re a lefty. Even after decades of creating my own unique sound and becoming an inspiration to others, I’m still influenced by those early musical pioneers. Now I can’t wait to get on stage and show that real rock n roll never dies. Hopefully it will get me to the finale." |
