| 1 | "It's not always easy to keep my antennas glowing. Ow. Even the goodies have bad days. And nothing is worse than running on empty with my buzzy schedule. That's why I trust, On The Fly. The only charger compatible with the good, the bad, and the cuddly. Not only does this product keep me going with my fame. But it makes me shine like the star I am. Put the power in your hands. With the On The Fly charger. It's lit." |
| 3 | "I've never been one to shy away from the spotlight. Even as a young firefly, I loved to dress up in my mom’s clothes and entertain my imaginary audience. Then one day, my mom encouraged me to get in front of a real crowd: My neighbours. I even charged them to watch my show. And believe it or not, it was one of those neighbours who got me my first real gig. I’ve always been a shining star. I’m not just fire, I’m fly. Showdown or not, I’m going to light up that stage and let my voice shine, baby!" |
| 11 | "Now comes the most difficult decision of your voting lives, Team Firefly or Team Firefly? It's that simple. Joining this competition meant that I had to face my fears and come out of retirement. I refuse so fade away, and being on this stage just let me shine bright again. Never give up on Firefly and I'll never give up on you." |
