| 4 | "All right! From as far back as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a rock star. As a kid, I knew I had the pipes. So, when the dream came true, it made perfect sense. I got to sell millions of records, travel the world and party with some of music’s biggest names. But I was a stiff drink with a loose mouth. And I got myself into a lot of trouble."
Pineapple: "Yeah he definitely rubbed some people the wrong way. It’s no surprise a few of them wanted to rum punch him in the face!" "After all the highs, I was left fearing that my career would be poured down the drain. Instead, I cleaned up my act, stepped out on my own and showed I’m still at the top of my game. As for these other singers? I’m here to tiki home that Golden Mask. And you’re all grasping at straws!" |
| 5 | "Making my debut last week was just beachy. And now, getting to perform again on Harry Potter night feels pretty fitting, because I’ve really found the magic in my life these days. There comes a time in every rockin’ tropical cocktail’s life where they need to decide what comes next. Do you let yourself get watered down, or do you change with the tides? I decided to put the hard partying lifestyle on the back burner and my family on tap. I used to be up every night partying until 6 a.m. Now that’s what time my alarm goes off to take my kid to school. It makes me emotional, just thinking about it. I definitely don’t want tonight to be my last call. So when I get out there on stage, you’re going to see that this Tiki is still on the rocks!" |
| 9 | "Making it into the Group B finals after chugging my competition in the smackdown feels amazing. Especially since it’s rock night. My jam, baby."
Producer: "How did you find out you could sing?" "When I was a kid, my buddy asked me to join the choir. He told me if I got in, I’d get a $3 stipend every month. I said, 'What’s a stipend?'. But I knew $3 meant two more Kiss posters. So I auditioned, and because I had a super high-pitched voice, I was made lead soprano. At 8 years old, I hit the road, singing at churches all over. Who’d a thunk I’d be touring the rest of my life? So just goes to show, never pass up an opportunity, because you never know what it will lead you to. And now, finale! Here I come!" |
