| 1 | "Hah! Wow! I love these eyes, man! Becoming Paparazzo is perfect for me because, let’s face it, the lens has been pointed in my direction my entire life. 'Right here.' And while you see me do so many things in my career, the one thing I have never had a chance to do is sing on a big stage. Until now. And honestly, I’m terrified. I mean, I worked with the greats, took over the silver screen, and even took America’s sweetheart to prom. But this? This is so far outside of my comfort zone, I’m kind of freaking out. But I think that’s the big reason to give it a try. I know I’m not gonna be perfect, but tonight, I’m digging deep, I’m putting my fears aside, and hopefully capturing your hearts." |
| 2 | "At its core, Shrek teaches you not to judge what you see on the outside, it's what's on the inside that matters most. And a certain hero of mine showed me this, someone who made a deep impact on my life. See, once, I had a chance to work with the Robin of all Robins. Sorry, not you, Robin Thicke. The Robin Williams. He could tell I needed some guidance. So, he sat me down and opened up about his own struggles. Here was this mega star at the height of his career, who, on the outside, was a big ball of energy, but inside, was battling this intense darkness. In that moment, I learned the importance of kindness. You never know what people are going through, and that's a lesson I've carried with me my entire life. Robin was my superhero, who taught me to see the bigger picture, and I have faith he's looking down on me tonight. So, this is a prayer for anyone like him, who shines bright on the outside, but struggles to see their own light." |
| 3 | "Woah! I've made it to the group A finals, and on Rat Pack Tribute night?! You know, my entire family loves those guys, because, fun fact, I'm actually Italian. When my grandparents came over from the old country, you know, the OC, they focused on fitting into American life, learning English, and trying to assimilate. But, two generations later, when I was trying to break into the biz, sadly, agencies couldn't pronounce my real last name, so they suggested I change it. And unfortunately, I did. But, I always clung to my heritage, even if people didn't necessarily know. I'm proud to represent Italian culture, everything from pizza to amore. Now, I'm here singing one of the most iconic Italian anthems ever written. So, this one's for mi familia, and of course, Frankie and Deano." |
| 10 | "Man, if you had told me that this little guy would still be standing here, I'd say you're crazy. Because, I've never sang before. And, big spoiler alert, the next song is the biggest hint to my identity yet, so listen closely. But first, focus on this colossal clue." (Danielle Fishel shows) |
