Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, dr. Ken jeong.

Thank you. Thank you. Good evening.

Hidden away in the darkness behind me

are six secret voices,

all claiming to be incredible singers.

However, some of them are fakers

with voices so bad that they actually can kill

up to 99.9% of household germs.

Welcome to america's brand-new guessing game,

"I can see your voice!"

through a series of clues...

Lip sync challenge!

Secret studio. Interrogation.

- Girl, you know you lying. - ♪ liar

and without ever hearing them sing a note...

I don't even think he has vocal cords.

Okay, please, let me tell the jokes.

I'm feeling insecure.

Could you identify bad singers...

( wailing ) ♪ like this hurt me before

...From good singers?

( vocalizing )

let me finish.

Helping tonight's contestant win $100,000 are

yvette nicole brown, robin thicke,

cheryl hines, adrienne houghton,

and music superstar jesse mccartney.

Get ready to play "I can see your voice,"

where spotting terrible talent can make you rich.

Ken: All right.

Welcome to "I can see your voice."

oh, my god, give it up for our glamorous panel of celebrity detectives.

- Yeah. - Whoo!

Let's meet tonight's contestant.

Hoping to take home $100,000,

meet emily from san diego, california!

- Hi, guys! - Hey, emily!

Hi, emily.

Oh, emily. Welcome to "I can see your voice."

I heard you are a new mother.

- I am. Yes, thank you so much. - Am I right? Congratulations.

Yeah, his name's carson. He's 4 months old.

He's a quarantine baby.

That's the thing now. Stay at home, shelter in place...

( imitates baby crying )

emily: Yeah.

And I work as an occupational therapist.

So I work with special needs kids.

Give it up. Oh, my god.

Ot is one of the hardest, most fulfilling jobs ever.

- Really, thank you for all you do. - It's really nice.

I love it.

I understand you have something special

you want to use the money for if you win.

I do. So, since I work in the schools,

I really want to get together some kits with little therapy supplies

and send them home to my students,

um, since we're doing distance learning,

so they continue to progress to learn, yeah.

Wow.

Emily! Emily! Emily!

- Whoo! - Fingers crossed. Come on, guys.

We're bringing our a game. Even robin.

He looked at a mirror like extra long today for this, so he's focused.

All the help I can get.

Ken: Okay, emily, pay attention.

The good singers will be telling the truth,

but the bad singers could be lying about anything.

You have to find and eliminate the bad singers

who are trying to fool you.

So let's get the investigation going

and reveal those secret voices.

Number one, it's surfer.

Growing up surfing the waves in hawaii,

singing was the only thing that could drag this self-taught musician out of the water.

I don't think she's holding the microphone the right way,

so I'm gonna say she's a bad singer.

Ken: Number two, it's the poet.

This published poet and songwriter

has written songs for toni braxton and heather headley.

- Those are big artists. - Huge.

Ken: Number three, it's broadway belter.

He sang backup vocals for james corden

in the hit movie "peter rabbit."

he's got this irish lumberjack thing going on.

Ken: Number four, it's harpist.

She's played harp in her family's traveling band since the 7th grade

and leads her parish in song at church.

She looks like she's heavenly and in touch with the lord.

Ken: Number five, it's singer-songwriter.

This small town boy just made a name for himself

performing at the world-famous troubadour.

He looks like he may have, like,

google-imaged, like, what a pop star should look like.

Yvette: Yeah, that's what I feel.

Ken: Number six, it's the boxer.

She's an amateur boxer, but with her three-octave range,

she's hoping to land her biggest hit.

She's just got a bomb stance,

but that might just be it.

Well, here are the rules.

There are six secret voices up on that stage.

But you'll never know exactly how many good

or how many bad singers there will be.

Your job, emily, is to use clues to eliminate the bad singers.

For each one you eliminate, you will earn $10,000.

Whoo, that'd be nice, that'd be nice.

And by the end of the show, you want to have eliminated all of the bad singers

so the last one standing is a good singer.

Why? Because if they're a good singer,

you could win $100,000.

That would be amazing.

Let us now get into the investigation

with our first three-way lip sync challenge.

And, just so you know, all of our good singers

will be lip syncing to their own voices.

But pay attention, because all of the bad singers

will be lip syncing to someone else's great voice.

See if you can tell which is which.

Get ready for lip sync challenge number one.

- Singing britney spears' "stronger"... - Yes.

...It's surfer, poet,

and broadway belter.

♪ hush, just stop

♪ there's nothing you can do or say, baby ♪

- ♪ I've had enough... - Cheryl: Oh!

♪ I'm not your property as from today, baby ♪

♪ you might think

oh, wow, wow.

Ken: Wow! Give it up for the surfer,

the poet, and the broadway belter!

What a way to kick off the show.

- Wow. - Ken: Emily, what do you think?

Wow, this is tough. Broadway belter.

He's got some jazz moves there, so I don't know!

- A little spirit fingers. - A little spirit fingers.

I don't know, what do you guys think about him?

Like, he's kind of my toss-up. I'm not sure.

No, I think he's a good singer.

Emily: You think he's a good singer?

To me, it looked like it was coming out of his body.

That looked like a real performance to me.

He was just chopping that wood, that lumberjack.

Just chop, chop, chop.

He's got, like, the line of somebody who looks like

they've been onstage before, you know?

Adrienne: Okay, I don't want to be negative nancy,

but we've seen people come out here

that are phenomenal performers...

That's true.

That doesn't always mean that they're a good vocalist.

True.

Ken: What do you think about the poet?

Yvette: You know, if she is a singer

and this is her chance to step out front,

she would've been able to bring it

and everything would've connected,

but she did not. I think she's a bad singer.

No, I don't-- I disagree with that.

- Do you? - Yeah, I do.

Because it sounded to me like that was her voice.

- And, I mean, if she hasn't-- - ( applause )

I don't know why y'all clapping. I don't agree.

If she has been sort of behind the scenes as a songwriter,

maybe she's not that comfortable onstage yet.

But after being in the studio for many years

with writers and, like-- writers have swagger.

They have so much swag.

They come in, they dance with you, they move with you.

- Oh, really? - They come up with words.

So, I just-- what I got from her was she's not a singer.

That's my gut opinion.

Wow, for the first time in my life,

I heard something from you that made sense.

Yeah!

The surfer, I feel like she was over-enunciating a little bit.

I don't think she hit every run.

- I don't either. - Not at all.

I'm a side-singer, too, so I paid attention to that.

Side singing? What does that mean, for the uninitiated?

Some people, in order for them to get certain sounds

out of their mouth, you'll do a--

oh, yeah, you change your mouth a little bit.

You change your mouth. But the vocal I was hearing wasn't side--

the vocal matched. The vocal looked like it was hers, though.

- You do? - To you, robin? Not to me.

Jesse: I agree with adrienne.

I actually disagree with robin on this one.

She just wasn't following the notes.

- Her face wasn't doing what the notes were doing. - Yvette: Right.

- So I would say, for the surfer, bad singer. - I agree.

- Emily, lot of mixed opinions throughout. - Yeah, I don't know--

I mean...

It is time to make a decision.

Ooh!

In front of you, you will see each secret voice's name and number.

- Mm-hmm. - So tap on the one you want to eliminate

and then lock it in.

I mean, I'm thinking the surfer is still a good singer.

I think she seemed pretty natural up there.

And then the broadway belter, I don't know,

'cause you guys had some really good points

about the-- he can dance but he may not sing.

Um, the poet, maybe not as comfortable on the stage.

I think the poet is the bad singer.

I'm gonna lock that one in.

Okay, lock it in.

- Whoo. - Okay, all right.

- You did good. - Whoo!

Poet, get ready because you're about to perform for us

and show us what you've been hiding.

Now, emily, have you identified a bad singer and made a cool $10,000?

Not yet.

- Hopefully, maybe. - You asked.

Let me finish.

Or a good singer and banked nothing?

And, remember, bad is good, good is bad.

- So, poet, let's... - All: See your voice!

Adrienne: Guys, they're bringing out a piano.

Uh-oh.

- Cheryl: Uh-oh. - Oh, does she look comfortable at the piano?

- Yeah. - She does look comfortable at the piano.

She's staring us down. This doesn't look good.

I don't like it.

( screeching ) ♪ oh, I wanna dance with somebody ♪

you did it!

♪ I wanna feel the heat with somebody ♪

♪ yeah, I wanna dance with somebody ♪

sing your heart's song, girl.

♪ with somebody who loves me!

Ken: That made my ears bleed, which is why we love you.

You just won emily $10,000 for that abomination.

Great start, emily.

Poet, time to come clean.

Was any of that true at all?

I do write songs, movies, books,

but I just don't sing songs.

- Okay. - Wow.

Let's give it up for the poet!

Don't go anywhere. After the break, we'll be getting a closer look

at our next batch of secret voices,

and you never know, maybe even earning emily $100,000.

- Let's go. - America, who do you think emily should eliminate next?

Get involved. This is "I can see your voice," only on fox.

Ten k in the bank. Let's go.

Welcome back to "I can see your voice,"

the only show where spotting terrible talent

can make you really rich.

Emily, before the break, you eliminated poet

and won $10,000.

Remember, your goal is to find as many bad singers as you can,

because if the last singer standing is good,

you could win $100,000.

It is time for our second lip sync challenge.

Singing imagine dragons' "believer,"

give it up for harpist,

singer-songwriter,

and boxer.

ken: Wow!

- Emily: Wow. - Harpist, singer-songwriter, and boxer.

I was getting a whole "my heart will go on" vibe from the harpist.

- Same. - She kind of does this

harpist by day, moonlights as a cardi b fan at night,

you know what I mean?

She was over here, like, giving all of this,

and I was like, "that's what we doing in church these days?

That's how we worshipping the lord?"

I do think that the harpist is a singer,

and I'll tell you why. On the two and the four of the beat,

she was popping her body with it,

so I believe she's been around music a long time.

The singer-songwriter, I did not believe.

And, listen, some people are great singers,

but they don't have a lot of stage presence.

I believe he was trying to sell it.

I just didn't want to buy what he was selling.

He kind of felt a little awkward onstage.

I felt like they knew jesse was gonna be on the show today

and they felt he needed to be represented.

They said he had performed at the troubadour.

He must may be an amateur singer-songwriter

who's just finding his way.

I think he makes a mean abercrombie poster,

but I don't think the singer-songwriter's a singer.

The boxer looks like she just smashes hits.

She also, I thought, did a pretty good job at lip syncing.

Did anybody notice that at the end,

there was a long note and she dropped her mic

way before the song finished.

- I did see that. - She already won that round.

Robin thicke!

If she's a boxer and a singer,

I mean, do you really want people punching you in your jaw?

What are you, her coach? I mean, come on.

I'm worried about her. I'm gonna say she's a bad singer.

- Emily, it is time to make a decision. - Ooh.

( sighs ) all right.

The harpist, she seemed like she was on cue,

it seemed like it matched her voice.

And the boxer, she did drop her mic,

I noticed that as well. It could go either way on her.

Singer-songwriter, just off the bat,

it just seemed so over the top.

Um, he didn't really seem like he was singing with it,

so he's the bad singer. I'm gonna lock that in.

- Whoo! - Wow.

Ken: Emily, have you correctly identified a bad singer

and made yourself another $10,000?

Whoo! Let's hope so.

Singer-songwriter, let's...

All: See your voice!

- Mm. - Oh, I hope he's bad.

( music playing )

oh, now-- now he wants to look comfortable singing.

Oh, now he's got the swag down? What's up?

( shouting ) ♪ so I put my hands up, they're playing my song ♪

♪ the butterflies fly away

♪ nodding my head like, yeah

♪ moving my hips like, yeah

♪ I put my hands up, they're playing my song ♪

♪ you know I'm gonna be okay

- ♪ yeah, yeah - wow.

♪ yeah, yeah

♪ it's a party in the usa!

Wow!

Singer-songwriter, tell me about yourself.

I am actually an actor

and an author of a children's book.

And you never performed at the troubadour?

Up until 15 minutes ago,

I didn't even know what the troubadour was.

Get out of my house. Get out of my house.

Give it up for the singer-songwriter.

Emily, you have eliminated two bad singers.

- I know! - Zero good singers,

bringing your total to $20,000.

It's crazy. It's crazy.

Yes, emily!

You still have four remaining secret voices left to choose from.

You want answers, I want answers,

america wants answers,

so let's get those answers after the break.

This is "I can see your voice."

welcome back to "I can see your voice,"

the show which asks whether you can tell good singers from bad

without ever hearing them sing.

Emily, you still have four remaining

secret voices left to choose from,

and, remember, your goal is to eliminate

as many bad singers as you can,

because if the last one standing's a good singer,

you could win $100,000.

Now, in order to reveal some more clues about our remaining secret voices,

I, ken jeong, have stolen their phones,

but you only get to look inside one.

So let's play unlock my life!

Emily, what you will see is an exclusive video

from inside the secret voice's phone,

revealing vital pieces of personal information about themselves,

all with their voice slightly altered.

So, who do you want to hear from?

You know, I don't think I want to go through the harpist's phone.

I really have a good feeling that she is a good singer.

And the broadway belter, I think he's a good singer just from his moves.

And the surfer, I'm thinking she's still a good singer as well.

You know, I'm leaning towards the boxer,

just kind of from her lip syncing round of pulling away the mic.

And I think I'm gonna go with the boxer.

Now, remember, the good singers will be telling the truth,

but the bad singers could be lying about anything.

Let us find out what boxer is all about.

( bell dings )

( distorted ) right before I started law school,

I signed up for boxing because I needed an outlet.

My coaches ended up actually being really impressed

and thought that I should start training to be an amateur boxer.

Boxing has definitely made me a better singer.

Boxing is all about rhythm,

so there's definitely that performance aspect to it.

I-I believe she might have it.

The best part about singing and performing for me

is when I can get an emotional reaction from the listener.

To me, that connection, that's what singing

and what music is all about.

That made it a lot harder.

The picture of her holding the microphone

could've been something to do with law.

She wasn't making a singer's expression.

She didn't-- if they wanted to show her singing anything,

they would have shown her actually singing.

My gut tells me that she's not a singer.

Also, why be a singer if you're smart enough to be a lawyer?

Hey, I take-- I take that personal.

Those who can't act, sing, and those who can't sing, host.

Ken: Oh, I love it.

I don't think that she has to be pursuing singing professionally

to be a good singer tonight on this stage.

Emily, it is time to make a decision.

Whoo, okay.

You know, watching that video,

you guys had some really good points to bring up.

You know, I think maybe that mic picture in there

is just her giving a speech.

And her pulling away the mic?

Whew, I'm gonna say the boxer is the bad singer.

I'm gonna lock that one in.

I got it.

- She looks very angry. - Yeah, she's mad.

- Now, boxer, let's... - All: See your voice!

Oh, gosh. Please be a bad singer.

( music playing )

( judges groan )

adrienne: I hate-- when they come in with the ballads,

it stresses me out.

♪ at last

no.

She can do it all.

♪ my love has come along

♪ my lonely days are over

damn.

♪ and life is like a song

♪ oh, I found a thrill

♪ to press my cheek to

♪ a thrill that I

- ♪ have never known - wow, wow, wow.

♪ oh, yeah

♪ at last

- whoo! - Man.

- Wow! Wow! - Oh, my goodness!

Boxer, how could you be so cruel?

I would like to say that I knew.

- I was correct. - I feel the same way.

I need to listen to you more often.

Boxer, what made you decide to do the show?

So, the lawyer in me really loved, like,

the mystery and the evidence aspect.

And then the passion for music? It was a no-brainer.

Outstanding. So, please give it up for the boxer.

Great job, sis.

All right, emily, you missed out on $10,000,

leaving your total still at $20,000.

But plenty of more chances left.

Don't go anywhere. This is "I can see your voice."

wow.

Welcome back to "I can see your voice."

emily, you have now eliminated one good singer

and two bad singers,

leaving you with three remaining secret voices to choose from--

surfer, broadway belter, and harpist.

None of us know how many are good, how many are bad.

So you still need to watch your step

if you're gonna end up with a good one

at the end and win that $100,000.

- Yes! - Well, this is my favorite part of the show,

because it's time for secret studio.

All right.

Emily, we sent all our voices into our secret studio

to perform their best solo whisper.

You'll be hearing their real voice,

but just the breathy parts,

without any of that annoying vocal cord vibration.

Who would you like to see going into the secret studio?

The surfer, when she did her lip syncing,

she seemed pretty comfortable on the stage.

The harpist, she is a mystery right now,

and it would be nice to get a little bit more information on her.

But then I come back to the broadway belter.

Is it just he's a good dancer

or is he a singer?

I'm gonna go broadway belter.

- All right. All right. - I like it.

Emily, panel, pay close attention.

If you listen carefully, you might pick up

some vital clues.

It is broadway belter.

( music playing )

( whispering ) hey, diddle, diddle.

The cat and the fiddle.

The cow jumped over the moon.

The little dog laughed to see such sport

and the dish ran away with the spoon.

- ( crowd cheering ) - whoa.

It was melodic. It was melodic.

What?

I thought the outfit was gonna make us uncomfortable.

Okay, I think he's the real deal.

I thought he brought a lot of personality to it,

which seems like that's what a singer would do.

I think the quality of his voice,

and the whisper was in line

with what I would think he sounded like

if that was his real voice when he was lip syncing.

Yeah, yeah.

I did think he loves broadway and he had those moves,

he's got that big strong voice. I think he's the real deal.

- Ken: Jesse? - I'm still a little unsure, I gotta be honest with you.

I thought, like, the over the top, you know,

spirit fingers in the beginning,

and the mr. Showmanship-- I wasn't buying it.

So you're-- oh, man.

Emily, it's time to make a decision.

Remember, you can eliminate any of the three

secret voices still up there.

Okay, looking at the broadway belter,

I think he has something there.

Um, I don't know if it's the boots or something,

but he's making me think he's a good singer.

He did have a good rhyme to that "diddle, diddle" thing.

The harpist, I don't know about her.

I kind of wish I did a little video of her as well,

but just gonna go with my gut and say the surfer.

I think she played us in the lip syncing round,

just at how good her lip syncing was.

So I'm gonna stick with the surfer

and say that she's a bad singer.

- I'm gonna lock it in. - Okay.

Ken: Emily, if you picked this right and picked a bad singer,

you will pocket another $10,000.

- Surfer, let's... - All: See your voice!

Yvette: She's breathing in her shoulders, not from her diaphragm, though.

Singers breathe from their diaphragm.

( music playing )

oh. Oh! Attitude.

♪ they tried to make me go to rehab ♪

♪ but I said, "no, no, no"

man.

♪ I ain't get a lot in class

oh, wow! Wow.

Whoo.

- Ken: Oh. - Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wow. Surfer!

Oh, that was shocking and cruel.

It's okay, emily. You just missed out on $10,000,

leaving your total still at $20,000.

What made you want to do the show?

I always hide behind an instrument, I feel.

Play guitar, I play ukulele, I play piano.

- Wow. - And this was an opportunity for me to come out

and perform without one and try to, like,

get my stage presence on point.

- I love that. - Give it up for surfer.

- Amazing job. - Thank you, guys.

- Thank you. - Emily, there are only two secret voices left.

If one of these voices is a good singer,

you could be in for one huge payday.

It all depends on your next decision...

After the break.

This is "I can see your voice," only on fox.

Welcome back to "I can see your voice."

emily, you now have eliminated two good singers

and two bad singers.

You only have two secret voices remaining.

They could both be bad. They both could be good.

They could be one of each. We just don't know.

Bottom line,

if there's a bad singer up there,

you need to get rid of them now.

It is time for our final challenge.

It's interrogation.

You are about to get the opportunity

to grill either one of our remaining secret voices,

broadway belter or harpist.

You'll get 30 seconds to ask them whatever you want,

but then you have to eliminate one of them.

Who do you want to interrogate?

Broadway belter, I'm thinking that's a good singer.

And, harpist, I think I need some more information on her.

I'm gonna do the harpist.

- Ken: Okay. Very good. - Cheryl: Ooh, get ready.

Ken: Okay, harpist, prepare yourself.

Emily, your 30 seconds starts in three,

two, one, go.

What is your most memorable performance?

Playing harp and singing with jonathan mcreynolds at the troubadour.

Emily: What makes you a good singer?

Confidence, stage presence, and vocal technique.

What would you classify yourself as a singer?

- R&b and folk. - Hmm, okay.

Um, why do you love music?

Because it speaks louder than words.

How do you describe yourself, your energy onstage?

- Light-hearted. - Light-hearted?

( groans )

- oh, man. - It's just not all making sense to me.

Who pulls out jonathan mcreynolds?

Yeah, there was also something very rehearsed about those responses.

"I like r&b and folk." it was just very, like--

to me, I don't know if I was buying it.

With the broadway belter, I feel strongly about him being a good singer

more than I feel strongly that she is.

But I don't want you to listen to me.

I didn't listen to you before and I was wrong,

so, I mean, I don't know.

Robin: The harpist is really tough.

When she said, "I like to be very--"

- what was it? - Light-hearted.

Light-hearted onstage, I didn't get that from her performance.

It is time to make a decision.

Not this again. Oh, my goodness.

Who's it gonna be? Broadway belter or harpist?

I mean, another 10k would just be amazing.

Like, we would get so much stuff for my students.

The broadway belter, I mean, the lip syncing

and then the "hey, diddle diddle," um,

I mean, my gut says that you're a good singer from that.

And then the harpist, like, I don't think her story kind of lines up.

I'm gonna say harpist. She's a bad singer.

I'm gonna lock it in.

- Whoo! All right. - Whoo.

Let's do this.

That means broadway belter will be going through to the finale.

Prepare yourself because you're about

to duet with none other than jesse mccartney,

so get ready.

Oh, the harp is coming out.

Yvette: Oh.

That's a professional seat, too.

Adrienne: That's true.

- Harpist, let's... - All: See your voice!

She can play harp.

♪ this is my fight song

♪ take back my life song

- ♪ prove I'm all right song - wow.

♪ my power's turned on

♪ starting right now, I'll be strong ♪

♪ I'll play my fight song

♪ and I don't really care if nobody else believes ♪

♪ 'cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me ♪

wow. Wow.

Ken: Wow.

Harpist, I have never heard something

so epic and pitch-perfect

for me to react like this.

Sadly, you did not win the $10,000 on that one.

- I know. - Leaving your total at $20,000.

Harpist, what made you want to do the show?

I love any opportunity to use music to shine light and hope.

- Oh, girl. Yes, girl. - Jesse: You did.

You have such a presence onstage,

I couldn't take my eyes off of you.

Like, I wish we had another, like, 30 minutes.

- We could watch a whole set. - Amazing! Thank you.

Please give it up for the harpist.

Emily, this is it.

We are down to our last secret voice.

And if you have successfully eliminated

all of the bad singers,

and if broadway belter turns out to be a good singer,

you could be taking home $100,000.

But first you've got to make one of the biggest

decisions of your life...

After the break.

Don't go anywhere.

This is "I can see your voice."

welcome back to "I can see your voice."

we are down to our last secret voice-- broadway belter.

Emily, it's time to make your final and biggest decision of all.

All game long, you've been trying to eliminate the bad singers

so that a good singer is left standing up there

to duet with jesse mccartney.

So now for the first time in the game,

you are hoping broadway belter is a good singer.

But here's the decision you have to make.

You can either walk away with the $20,000,

guaranteed to go home with some real life-changing money.

Or you can play on for one final round.

And if broadway belter turns out to be a good singer,

your winnings will shoot up to $100,000.

However, if you get it wrong and broadway belter

turns out to be a bad singer,

you will go home with nothing.

Panel, do you think broadway belter

is a good or a bad singer?

When we first saw him,

we were thrown off by the outfit.

And then we saw him lip sync, and he blew us out of the water.

He really seemed like that was his voice.

I would play on.

If I was a gambling man,

I would say that I actually do think that he's a good singer.

However, I mean, I'm not in your position.

You have $20,000 more right at this moment than you came here with.

That's a good-- I'd leave the casino.

$20,000 is so much money

and could really make huge changes

for the kids that you work with.

Give half there, $10,000 even putting towards a college fund.

The baby's just born.

18 years from now, what will that be?

But at the same time, I have the craziest feeling

to just say he's a good singer

and that it might be worth the risk.

Aah! I'm scared to say that.

- Yvette? - No. Not participating.

- Come on, I need your help. - Yvette. Yvette.

This is the time. More than ever, I need your help.

- Mm. Not gonna do it. - Please. Please.

Yvette, you've been right the most on this panel.

You've helped emily out the most.

Okay.

Only you know how you will feel

if you don't risk it and he is a good singer

or how you'll feel if you do risk it

if he is not a good singer.

So you need to know yourself, girl,

and you need to make a decision as to what you can live with.

Ken: Emily, which way are you leaning?

It's rough.

$20,000 would be sufficient to start my son's tuition

and to get them little therapy kits for them

for distant learning. I don't know if I can chance it.

Um, I want to so bad, but I just--

I just-- I just--

I think I'm gonna walk and take the 20k.

Yeah.

Good for you, emily.

- All right. - Good job, emily.

- Emily! Whoo! - It's okay. It's okay.

First of all, give it up for emily.

You've been the most amazing contestant tonight,

and you won $20,000.

That is yours.

But I am sure you and america would love to find out

what would have happened had you played on.

Let's find out. Jesse, please go and join broadway belter

on the stage of truth for the grand duet finale.

If broadway belter is a good singer,

you would've taken home $100,000.

But if he is a bad singer,

then you made the right choice because your money is safe.

Singing "beautiful soul," please make some noise

for the incredible jesse mccartney

and broadway belter.

( music playing )

you ready, emily?

Oh, yeah.

Emily, you played it safe and there is no shame in that.

You still get to keep your money.

Yeah.

Emily, you have these two beautiful guys

singing this amazing song to you.

You can't put a price on that.

You're going home with secure money

that could absolutely make a change in those children's lives

and in the life of your son.

Ken: Let's give it up for emily!

I want to thank yvette nicole brown, robin thicke,

cheryl hines, adrienne houghton,

and especially jesse mccartney.

Thank you all for watching. Good night.
