A lot of people don't make it,

All right, guys,

we're getting ready to go out here.

- Faces please. - [giggles]

Make sure you guys are moving

out of the drummers' way so they have space.

Make sure everything is hitting and clean.

This is our opportunity to show the world

who the Drummers and the Divas of Compton are.

Let's do that, you guys.

The Divas of Compton and the Drummers of Compton

are a group who started with our coach, Ms. Berry

The group started doing after school programs

and we give kids, like, a safe haven

where they can come and just be creative.

Living in Compton, California,

you have the beauty of Compton

but then you also have the dangers,

and that's when you might see a police car chase

just zooming by and you're like,

"Okay, get down, drop everything you're doing

and stay there."

In any urban area,

you're gonna have craziness going about

and we wanna make sure

that the kids see something else.

Audience, are you ready?

We're not gonna come out

unless you scream a little louder.

I wanna do comedy in New York.

- That was huge. - That was huge.

If you're an immigrant dad and mom

Right.

A son going to med school, that's like triple 7s.

You made it.

When I told my parents,

my mom, she goes behind the kitchen,

starts, like, banging on pots, she threw one.

My dad, even scarier,

just sort of, like, that single dad tear, you know?

- Wow. - Yeah.

You know, I had a little bit of money,

but New York is so expensive.

I was living in a foreclosed house

with no water supply.

- You were squattin'. - I was squattin'.

I couldn't tell my parents how bad it was.

My mom would call me and I would go outside

and go out into the street

so you couldn't see what I was living in.

If I do well tonight, it's a way to show my parents

that me not doing med school was not some crazy idea

'cause they haven't seen anything that I gain.

All they've seen is what I've sacrificed.

All the way from squatting

to the world's biggest talent show, brother.

This is crazy. This is the biggest stage.

It changes lives.

This is it.

What is your name?

My name's Usama Siddiquee,

I'm from Plano, Texas,

Do you do this for a living?

I tutor math on the side,

but the idea is to make this the whole thing.

Oh, you're a teacher right now.

I'm a teacher right now.

So this the first time that you're gonna do it,

like, in a stage, like, this big?

Right now, it's terrible gigs in terrible bars.

The idea is, let's go to the next level.

Do you have, like, a horrific gig that you did

and you, like, still remember it?

Worst gig I did was my brother's wedding.

I Oh, no.

I know, I know! I

How can you mess that up?

I did so bad, my dad left during the set.

[laughter]

I was in a similar situation once

when I made a speech.

- At your brother's wedding? - Yeah.

His wife never spoke to me again.

Yeah!

You think it was gonna go well

and then it did not at all.

Ah, well, maybe you can redeem yourself tonight.

- This is it. - We hope the best for you.

Thank you so much.

[cheers and applause]

Here we go.

How's it going?

My name is Usama.

No relation, okay?

To the guy.

My mom was terrified after 9/11.

She was like, Usama, do you wanna change your name

to something a little less Muslim?

And I swear to God, she said, how about Hussein?

[laughter]

A very lateral move, Mom.

Hussein!

I was thinking more Gregory, you know?

Brian would be nice, even.

[laughter]

I'm stressed too. I'm stressed too.

I just got broken up with. It was an open relationship.

Means you can be with anybody you want.

I didn't know this:

apparently, the girl can also do that.

Yeah, no, read the fine print!

And my girl got the first person.

I made the mistake of asking her this guy's name.

She told meyou ever hear somebody's name

and then know immediately

that this person is a better lover than you?

I was like, what's his name?

She's like, Alejandro.

I'm like, no!

[laughter] No!

Alejandro!

You couldn't be with a Eugene, you know?

Or a Simon? You couldn't do a Simon?

- [laughter] - Oh!

- You couldn't do a Simon. - Oh, yeah!

You couldn't do a Simon.

Oh!

[laughter and cheering]

Listen, listen, if you're not laughing right now

if you're not laughing right now,

your name is Eugene, all right?

Every Eugene here is like,

actually, I've heard they're pretty vigorous, okay?

So I met this guy and it was a relief

because his name was Alejandro,

but his voice was Eugene.

Straight up, he comes up and he's like, hey, man.

How's it going? I'm like, much better now.

[laughter]

Yes. [laughter]

Yo, you got this.

Honestly, I really like performing obnoxiously

and kind of being

I get that.

to be a bit of an escape for people watching.

Then we can all kinda disappear together

so thank you guys very much.

Okay.

And if I'm lucky each time, if I'm lucky and come back,

I'll just keep turning it up a notch.
