|---|---|
| 1 | "Hello all! How do you do? What's a Thingamajig? What does it do? A puzzling question comes to mind, but I'm a gentle giant, the feathery kind! What's that he has? A magic case? Come on you all, keep up the pace! I'm here because I love to sing, though you may think that's not my thing. So please accept this side of me. I'm more than fashion shoots and dreams. And that's the key - and why it's me - because I'm all the things, you see! All the stars led to this gig. I'm the singing, dancing, Thingamajig!" |
| 4 | "Before my first performance, I was shaking like a feather. But once the song started, the nerves melted away. Singing has always actually been my first love. Growing up, my parents taught me to do well in school, don't worm around, and don't run with the bulls. I was also taught that a Thingamajig's real magic comes from within. I've always worn my heart on my sleeve. I guess I'm just a big softie. With this song, I just want to show the world, I'm just as warm and fuzzy on the inside as I am on the outside." |
| 5 | "Last performance, I let my guard down and sang from the heart. But let's be real. I'm used to my voice winning over the ladies. What's up, Nicole? After I put on a good show, I always like to break bread with the homies. And this is how we do it. Feel free to snoop into my life. You'd see that my Pops taught me you have to serenade the ladies. And I haven't stopped since. So Nicole-amajig, tonight this song's for you. And I ain't too proud to beg." |
| 8 | "In my line of work, I'm used to hustling every day. And that can-do attitude is what's gotten me this far in the competition. I learned that if you really want something in life, you have to commit to it 110%. So sorry, Nicole-amajig, I've got to be my own number one right now. But you'll always be my second pick. I suffered a setback recently. But becoming 'the Thingamajig' has really helped me get back on my fuzzy feet. But now that I've got my groove back, I'm more laser focused than ever to make it to the end. And once I win, I'm gonna need to find my match. So tonight, I'm putting myself out there. And I hope the panel slides right on this performance." |
| 9 | "I can't believe how close I was to losing it all last week. It stopped me in my furry tracks to be in the bottom two. The signs are all telling me it's getting down to the wire, so I'm going to start back at one and rethink my whole strategy. My competitors aren't pulling any punches, so I've got to campaign for myself. There's no time to get crabby. I still have so much more to prove to Nicole-amajig. Leading with my heart has gotten me this far, and now it's time to channel my emotions and show that I'm anything but ordinary." |
| 9 | "Making it to the semifinals just in time for the holiday feels like the greatest gift I could ever ask for. Hearing the panel's praise has been so humbling, especially after a tough year with a lot of obstacles and adversity. And this time of year, I'm always reminded about what's most important, my family. My parents came here with nothing, and they taught me the key to the American dream is hard work. So whatever I do, I gotta do it 110%. I'll never take the sacrifices they made for granted. A majig always finishes what they start. I cannot let this performance be my last." |
