3 "I'm delighted being here on Billy Joel Night, because, let's face it, we're both timeless. Once upon a time, I was the bell of the ball. I had the whole world dancing from dust 'til dawn. Everyone knew my name. But, as the years passed, trends started to change, and I suddenly felt like I was becoming frozen in time. So, this queen reinvented herself, and I achieved massive success again on my own terms, with the crowning achievement of performing for a president. Now, like the piano man says, I'm going to sing your song tonight. So, all you other singers better watch out, because your time's about to be up."
4 "I had the time of my life singing on Billy Joel Night. And I'm making every second count on this stage. In my life, I've had my fair share of ups and downs. Just like any good TV series, I've laughed and I've cried. And thank goodness, I've always been renewed. But I think it's my positive outlook that's carried me season to season. When I was broke? Hey, I appreciated the free things in life. When my car didn't start? What a beautiful day for a walk. And even though my marriages didn't work out, something great came from those relationships: my beautiful children. I've learned, there will always be good times and bad, and now, let's keep the good times rolling all the way to the Group C finale."
5 Clock: "TV Theme Night was such a good time. I'm honored to be in the Group C Finale, because, in my line of work, we love a curtain call. In this case, a shower curtain call. Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
Producer: "So, what do you usually sing in the shower?"
Clock: "There's something about the shower that gives me the courage to belt out the biggest diva hits of all time, and let me tell you, I've been amongst them. You see, I was nominated for one of the most prestigious awards against some legendary ladies, Queen Aretha and Natalie Cole. I didn't think I'd win, so I stayed home and spent the evening literally scrubbing the kitchen floor. And then, I won! I actually won! And I gave my acceptance speech to the mop, instead of millions. Can you imagine? So, take it from Aretha. When it's your time to shine, you better show up and respect yourself."
10 "It's incredible to be in the quarter finals as the Group C champion. And winning against all these young whippersnappers still has this clock in shock. When I was younger, everyone loved hearing me sing, until I told them I wanted to do it for a living. Suddenly, it was all, 'What!? Are you crazy?' You see, I was a young mother, and most concerned was my own mom. She said, 'How are you going to take care of these kids and sing at nightclubs?' But that all changed when she saw me sing one night. She was mesmerized. And from that moment on, it was a family affair. She helped out where she could, and now, my son actually works with me on tour. And I've been able to stay on my feet for all these years because of their support. Now tonight, I plan to get you on your feet, because this clock is ticking for a spot in the semi-finals!"
11 "Standing here in the semi-finals has been a total statement for me, because, well, I'm not as young as I used to be. But, becoming the Clock has been so fun. It's reminded me after all these years, Mama's still got it! But, it's also been a challenge. When I was younger, I had stage fright so badly, my knees would knock together under my gospel robe. I had to learn how to connect with the audience through eye contact and a smile. And now, this mask takes all that away. So, I've had to connect in other ways. This dress was not made for moving, but that doesn't stop me. See, I wanted to do "Masked Singer" to introduce myself to a whole new generation. And to make it this far is a real treat. So now, I'm going to be singing, dancing, and twerking my way into the finale."
