Cherrece glover: Let's get me some money then!

To get out of a funk.
♪ girl is pretty wild now
♪ girl's a super freak
♪ the kind of girl you read about in the magazine ♪
Audience: Aw!
Telia: I'm not feeling the freaky word.
Maybe lewd is the word.
Niecy nash: Are you saying lewd or nude?
Telia: I'm saying both of 'em.
I am 99.9% sure that it is
Not freaky. Cherrece glover: Not freaky.
(audience laughs)
Presenter: Plus, our next superstar
Is not holding anything back.
Justin porter: I'm trying not to pop out of my spanx.
(justin screams) (audience cheering)
Presenter: And he will play one of our most emotional...
Justin porter: Woo! Presenter: ...Inspiring...
Justin porter: I think I'm having
An out-of-body experience.
(justin screams)
Presenter: ...And unbelievable games
In "don't forget the lyrics" history.
Justin porter: This can't be real.
Presenter: Will one of these rock stars
Be our first ever million dollar winner?
Justin porter: I can't even comprehend
That amount of money.
Presenter: Find out right now.
Justin porter: I can't look.
(upbeat music)
Presenter: Please welcome the woman
Who taught bunny to be bad, niecy nash.
(audience cheers and applauds)
Niecy nash: Welcome to "don't forget the lyrics".
I'm here with cherrece, who has banked $25,000.
And that money is guaranteed,
No matter what happens in the game.
(audience cheers and applauds)
We had a real nail-biter going.
Cherrece glover: Woo!
Niecy nash: Rick james said, "the kind of girl you",
You said, "read about in those nude magazines".
Do you feel confident about that?
Do you want to go back to "freaky"?
Which lyrics would you like to lock in?
(suspenseful music)
Cherrece glover: What is it?
(audience laughs)
That's what we...
Telia: I'm thinking about rick james,
And his whole vibe.
♪ read about in those nude magazines ♪
That's it, 'cause it was very...
♪ in those nude magazines
Yep, staccato.
Niecy nash: Ok, remember, you have $25,000 guaranteed.
At this point, it's no real reason to walk away.
So, are you going to trust the funkmaster,
(cherrece and audience chuckle)
Or do you want to lock in a different lyric?
(cherrece sighs)
What are we going to do?
(suspenseful music)
Cherrece glover: I'm going to go with the funkmaster.
I'm going to lock in those lyrics.
(audience cheers and applauds)
Niecy nash: All right.
(dramatic music)
With the help of the funkmaster, you locked in those lyrics.
For $50,000, is it,
"read about in those nude magazines"?
(drum roll)
(dramatic music)
Audience: Aw. Telia: Aw.
Niecy nash: It was incorrect.
Let's see what the correct lyrics are.
Telia: New wave? Cherrece glover: New wave!
Telia: "in new wave magazines"?
Niecy nash: "read about in new wave magazines".
But you are still leaving here with $25,000!
Cherrece glover: Yes!
Niecy nash: Which is not too bad for one day's work.
Cherrece glover: No!
Niecy nash: Give it up for cherrece!
(upbeat music) (audience cheers and applauds)
Are you guys ready to meet our next rock star?
(audience cheers and applauds)
He has three great loves,
His wife, his daughter, and glitter.
From apex, north carolina, give it up for justin porter!
(upbeat music) (audience applauding)
Justin porter: How are you?
Niecy nash: Justin, you're looking festive.
Justin porter: Well, thank you so much.
I'm very happy to be here.
Niecy nash: Tell us a little bit more about yourself.
Justin porter: Well, you mentioned things
That sparkle in my life that are important to me.
So that would be my wife and my daughter.
In fact, I like sparkle so much,
I covered my entire car in glitter.
(audience cheers)
So I really do love sparkles.
(audience chuckles)
Honestly, I might have to add a fourth sparkle in my life.
And that's going to be you, because you're just gorgeous.
Niecy nash: Aw. (justin chuckles)
(audience cheers and applauds)
Compliments won't get you anywhere on this show.
(audience laughs)
All right, this is what I want to do for you,
My glitter-loving friend. Justin porter: All right.
Niecy nash: I want to get you some money.
If you give me the correct missing lyrics to 10 songs,
I want to give you a big glitter bag
With a million dollars in it!
Justin porter: Yes, all right!
(dramatic music) (audience cheers and applauds)
Niecy nash: Would you like to take a look
At tonight's categories?
Justin porter: I would.
Niecy nash: Super bowl performers, r&b, taylor swift,
'60s, pop, tv themes, rock, duos,
And made in the uk.
The first song is worth $2,500,
And the money keeps growing,
Right up to the million dollar song.
And if you make it to $25,000,
That money is guaranteed.
(audience cheers and applauds)
Justin porter: When the words are right,
They turn green, right?
Niecy nash: That's correct.
Justin porter: Can I change the colour on my shoes
To green for good luck?
(audience cheers and applauds)
I'm trying not to pop out of my spanx.
(niecy laughs)
(audience cheers and applauds)
Ok, here we go.
(audience cheers and applauds)
Niecy nash: I like the way you roll.
(audience chuckles)
Which category would you like to play for first?
Justin porter: Ok, so, my childhood, I grew up in the church,
So I wasn't allowed to listen to a lot of mainstream music,
But I was allowed to watch a lot of tv.
So we're going to go with tv themes.
Niecy nash: Ok!
Let's take a look at what your two song choices are.
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: "unwritten",
Which is the theme song from "the hills",
Or, "movin' on up", the theme song for "the jeffersons".
Justin porter: When I would stay home sick from school,
One of the shows that would always play
Was "the jeffersons", and I was obsessed with that song.
So I'm going to go with "the jeffersons".
Niecy nash: All right!
For this particular song,
I am going to need four missing words.
Justin porter: Ok. Niecy nash: Ok?
And I'm going to do my best not to sing along...
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: ...Because I love "the jeffersons" too.
Justin porter: I love 'em.
Niecy nash: Ok, we are going to take it from the top.
Justin porter: All right, be with me, weezy.
(audience laughs)
Niecy nash: You channel weezy,
But I'm going to have ricky and the band do what they do best.
(audience cheers and applauds)
(drumsticks tapping)
♪ movin' on up
♪ to the east side
Hey!
♪ to a deluxe apartment in the sky ♪
♪ movin' on up
♪ to the east side
♪ we finally got a piece of the pie ♪
(audience cheers and applauds)
Justin porter: Was that right?
Niecy nash: All right, "the jeffersons" said,
"movin' on up, we finally got a",
You said, "piece of the pie".
How are you feeling about this answer?
Justin porter: I feel really good about it
'cause I was a chubby kid,
And every time they said that line, I thought about pie.
(niecy and audience chuckle)
And so I know that that's the right line.
So I'm going to lock in those lyrics, niecy.
Niecy nash: All right!
(dramatic music) (audience cheers and applauds)
Justin, you locked in those lyrics.
For $2,500, is it, "piece of the pie"?
(drum roll)
Justin porter: Oh, come on, come on, you all. Ooh.
(justin chuckles)
(celebratory music)
(justin screams)
Niecy nash: There ya go!
You made $2,500, and you are on your way
To that million dollar song.
Let's try to double that money right now.
This next song is worth $5,000!
Justin porter: Ok.
(audience cheers and applauds)
Niecy nash: All right.
What category do you want to play for next?
(audience exclaiming)
Justin porter: I've been married for 15 years.
Niecy nash: Yes.
Justin porter: We sing a lot of duets together.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Justin porter: So, I'm going to have to go with duos.
(audience cheers and applauds)
Niecy nash: Let's take a look, justin,
At your two song choices.
Justin porter: All right.
Niecy nash: "rich girl" by daryl hall and john oates,
Or "ms. Jackson" by outkast.
Justin porter: My uncle, who used to ride a motorcycle,
Was one of the people
That would let me listen to mainstream music.
And one of the songs he always would play for me
Was "rich girl".
So I want to sing "rich girl".
Niecy nash: Ok! I am going to need five missing words.
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we'll start the song from the bridge.
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: Are you ready?
Justin porter: I'm ready.
Niecy nash: He's ready, ricky!

(audience cheers and applauds)
All right, hall and oates said,
"it don't matter anyway.
You can rely",
You said, "on your old man's money".
How confident are you in this answer?
Justin porter: That one word
Is messing with me, the "your".
That's one of those words that I would always switch up,
And he would be like, "you're singing it wrong".
And, but I can't remember the right words.
Niecy nash: Would you like us to change it to something,
And you can see something else up there?
Justin porter: Can you change it to "the"?
(suspenseful music)
Niecy nash: Now the line reads,
"it don't matter anyway.
You can rely on the old man's money".
Justin porter: (groans) ok.
Niecy nash: Well, here's the thing.
You can lock in those lyrics.
If they are correct, you bank $5,000.
If it's wrong, you walk away with nothing.
Or, we can talk about what your backups are,
Just in case you're unsure.
(suspenseful music)
Justin porter: I'm going to lock in those lyrics, niecy.
(audience cheers and applauds)
(dramatic music)
Niecy nash: You locked in those lyrics.
For $5,000, is it,
"on the old man's money?"
(drum roll)
(celebratory music)
Justin porter: (screams) I cannot believe.
Niecy nash: You did it!
Justin porter: Thank you. Niecy nash: That is $5,000!
(audience cheers and applauds)
Let's try to double your money again, justin.
This time, he's playing for $10,000!
Justin porter: Ok. Woo!
Niecy nash: All right,
What category do you want to play for next?
(dramatic music)
Justin porter: Ok, well, in my early 20s,
I went to new york city with $75 in my pocket,
And the first thing I did was go to the corner,
And there was this guy selling cds on the corner.
And I bought, you know, like, four new cds,
But they were all pop songs,
And I used to listen to them on the subway
On my way into the city.
So I'm hoping it's going to be one of the songs
That I used to listen to all the time.
So I'm going to go with pop.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
(audience applauding)
"tearin' up my heart" by*nsync,
Or "down under" by men at work.
(audience cheers)
Justin porter: I'm really excited to see*nsync up there
Because two of the cds that I kept on constantly going
Was another boy band and*nsync.
So, woo, I'm going to go
With "tearin' up my heart" by*nsync.
Niecy nash: All right!
Justin porter: Woo!
Niecy nash: For this song,
I am going to need four missing words.
Justin porter: All right, all right.
Niecy nash: Ricky, he's ready!
(audience applauds)
(upbeat music)
♪ it's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you ♪
♪ but when we are apart, I feel it too ♪
♪ and no matter what I do
♪ I feel the pain
♪ with or without you
(audience cheers and applauds)
(justin vocalising)
All right,*nsync said,
"and no matter what I do, I feel the pain".
You said, "with or without you".
Are you confident in this answer?
Justin porter: Ok, I'm visualising
Sitting on the subway, listening to music,
And I can hear this song in my head.
People thought I was crazy, 'cause I would just yell out.
♪ with or without you
So I'm pretty sure that that's the lyric
That I used to yell out on the subway.
Niecy nash: Well, what do you want to do about it?
Justin porter: Miss niecy,
I'm going to lock in those lyrics.
Niecy nash: All right!
(dramatic music) (audience cheering)
You locked in those lyrics, justin.
For $10,000, is it?
♪ with or without you
(justin giggles) (audience laughs)
(drum roll)
Justin porter: Woo! Come on, shoes.
(celebratory music)
(justin screams)
Niecy nash: You got it right!
You just banked $10,000!
(audience cheers and applauds)
Justin and his green shoes
Are going for a guaranteed $25,000
Next on "don't forget the lyrics".
Hey!
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
So far, justin has made it through three songs
With his sparkling voice, and he's banked $10,000.
(audience cheers and applauds)
There are six categories left,
And he still has all of his backups, if he gets in trouble.
(audience cheers and applauds)
This next song is worth $25,000 guaranteed!
(audience cheers and applauds)
What would you do with $25,000?
Justin porter: (sighs) well, this past year,
I was diagnosed, about a year ago,
With stage three melanoma.
And for a whole year, I went through cancer therapy,
And my wife and daughter just stuck by my side,
Even when I was just nasty.
And I really want to take them on a great vacation.
So that's what I'd use the money for.
Niecy nash: We definitely can get behind this cause.
I'm so happy that you are doing better.
Let's see if we can get you guys on that family vacation.
Justin porter: Ok.
I was going to ask if I could show a picture of my daughter.
I brought a picture
Of my daughter today. Niecy nash: I would love
To see a picture of your daughter.
Justin porter: And I want to see her
Before I do the next song.
(audience cheers and applauds)
Niecy nash: Aw! Justin porter: Hey cece!
I promised her I'd her name.
Hey cece, I love you!
Niecy nash: That's your mini me.
Justin porter: Yeah. (chuckles)
Niecy nash: Well, let's see if we can get you some money
To get your family on this vacation.
Justin porter: Ok. Niecy nash: All right?
Which category is going to get you that 25 grand?
(justin sighs) (audience exclaiming)
Justin porter: I don't watch sports,
But I do love a good performer.
I still think about whitney houston
Every time I think about the super bowl performances.
So I'm going to have to go with super bowl performers.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"poker face" by lady gaga,
Or "part-time lover" by stevie wonder.
(audience exclaiming)
Justin porter: Ok, as an adult,
One of my very first live concerts was to go see lady gaga.
(audience cheers and applauds)
And having most of my life gone
Not being able to listen to mainstream music,
I soaked it in 'cause I thought it was the coolest thing
I'd ever seen in my life.
(niecy laughs)
So I'm going to have to go with "poker face",
Lady gaga. Niecy nash: All right.
(audience cheers and applauds)
All right. Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: For this song, and $25,000 guaranteed...
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: I am going to need four missing words.
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: All right? Justin porter: All right.
Niecy nash: Let's do it, ricky.

♪ I'll get him hot, show him what I've got ♪
♪ can't read my, can't read my

(audience cheers and applauds)
Justin porter: Read my poker face.
Niecy nash: All right, lady gaga said,
"can't read my, can't read my, no, he can't",
You said, "read my poker face".
Are you confident in this answer?
Justin porter: I was always told
That gambling was from the devil,
But one of the things I know about gambling
Is that if you play poker, you have to have a poker face.
And if somebody can't read your poker face,
Then you are probably going to win.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Justin porter: So, it just, logically,
"read my poker face" seems right.
(suspenseful music)
♪ can't read my, can't read my
♪ no, he can't read my poker face ♪
That's it. I'm going to lock in those lyrics, miss niecy.
(dramatic music) (audience cheers and applauds)
Niecy nash: All right, you locked in those lyrics.
For $25,000 guaranteed,
And a family vacation,
Is it, "read my poker face"?
(drum roll)
(celebratory music)
(audience cheers and applauds)
You did it!
(audience cheers and applauds)
That is $25,000!
How does that feel?
Justin porter: Amazing, amazing.
I feel like I can give something back to them,
'cause they gave much to me.
So yeah, it's awesome. Niecy nash: There you go.
But now, the game is about to get harder.
(dramatic music)
There are five categories left to the million dollar song.
Now we're going to try to double your money.
You are playing for $50,000!
Justin porter: Woo!
(audience cheers and applauds)
Niecy nash: Justin, which category
Is going to get you that money?
(audience cheers)
Justin porter: In my mind,
I keep seeing the fashions of the '60s.
I don't know much about the '60s,
But I do know that I like a good go-go boot.
Niecy nash: Oh yes!
Justin porter: So I'm going to have to go with the '60s.
(audience cheers)
Niecy nash: All right. Justin porter: And pray.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
Justin porter: All right.
Niecy nash: "sympathy for the devil"
By the rolling stones,
Or "I say a little prayer" by dionne warwick.
(audience exclaiming)
Justin porter: One of my favourite movies
Is "my best friend's wedding".
Niecy nash: Oh yes!
Justin porter: And in the middle of the movie,
They break into song, wearing lobster claws,
And they sing, "I say a little prayer".
So, even though I don't have lobster claws,
I'm still going to go with the song.
Niecy nash: All right, even without the lobster claws,
I'm going to need six missing words.
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: He's ready, ricky.

Niecy nash: All right, dionne warwick said,
"that's how it must be, to live without you",
You said, "would only mean heartbreak for me".
Are you confident in this answer?
Justin porter: (sighs) hold on.
I'm trying to channel the act.

Niecy nash: All right.

Justin, you locked in those lyrics.

(audience cheers and applauds)
Is it, "would only mean heartbreak for me"?
(drum roll)
(celebratory music)
Justin!
You just won $50,000!
Justin porter: Oh my god.
Niecy nash: After the break,
There is $75,000 on the line.
We'll be back with more "don't forget the lyrics".
(audience cheers and applauds) (upbeat music)
(audience cheers and applauds)
Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
I am here with justin, who is doing an incredible job.
So far, he has $50,000,
And all of his backups left.
There are now just four categories still on the board.
Let's keep justin's concert going,
Because this next song is worth $75,000.
(audience cheers and applauds)
Justin, how are you feeling right now?
Justin porter: Overwhelmed, like I'm living in a dream,
Like this isn't real.
I feel like somebody's just going to kick me,
And I'm going to wake up and be like,
"well darn, this wasn't real".
Niecy nash: You want me to pinch you?
Justin porter: Please.
Oh, that's nice. I kind of liked that.
(audience laughs)
Niecy nash: Ok, before this turns into another show,
(justin and audience chuckle)
Let's see which category
Is going to get you that $75,000.
Is it r&b, taylor swift, rock,
Or made in the uk?
Justin porter: Well, there's this inner child in me
That is telling me to pick the category
That I was forbidden from.
I'm going to listen to that inner child, and go with rock,
I think, yeah.
Yeah, that's what I'm going to do, rock.
Niecy nash: Family told you,
"stay away from rock and roll".
Justin porter: Yeah, that's the devil's music.
You got to stay away from that.
So I was real excited to listen to it
When I got out of that house.
Niecy nash: I know that's right.
Well, let's see what your two song choices are.
"any way you want it", by journey,
Or "it's my life" by bon jovi.
Justin porter: Ok, when I was in high school,
People used to refer to my hair as the golden arches.
And with that $50,000, after vacation,
I would love to get myself some new hair.
But, realistically, my wife's going to tell me
What to do with it, and get us some solar panels.
(niecy and audience chuckle)
So I'm going to have to go with the hair of the two,
Which is bon jovi, "it's my life".
(audience cheers and applauds)
Niecy nash: All right.
For this song, justin, and $75,000,
Justin porter: Yeah?
Niecy nash: I am going to need six missing words.
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: Ricky, hit it!

But you definitely had a good time rocking out.
Bon jovi said it,
"I just want to live while I'm alive.
My", you said,
"love is like an open highway".
How are you feeling about these lyrics?
Justin porter: Well, I mean, even if it's wrong,
It's a true statement.
Love is like an open highway.
It really is. Niecy nash: Yep.
(chuckles) mine better not be a open highway.
It better be a one-way street that leads to me.

Justin porter: Your wife up there,
Anyone that wears a sequins jacket like that, you can trust.

Niecy nash: Ok, let's unpack this a little.
What are you thinking... Justin porter: Woo!
Niecy nash: ...Now that you've seen this laid out?
Justin porter: I'm thinking,
"I wish I hadn't have worn spanx".
(niecy and audience laugh)
They get hot. They get really hot.
Niecy nash: Oh, you should've called me first.
Justin porter: Nobody told me.
Niecy nash: I would've let you know.
Justin porter: I bought 'em for this,
And now my pants keep falling down.
(audience laughs)
Niecy nash: Let's talk about your backups.
Your first backup is your backup singer.
Who did you bring with you tonight?
Justin porter: I brought my friend, melanie.
Niecy nash: Hey melanie!
(audience cheers and applauds)
Ok, well, melanie can help you out with an answer,
But only for one song,
Or you have three words.
If at any time, you are unsure about a word, just tell us,
And we will reveal the correct answer.
Would you like to use one of your backups?
Justin porter: I think I'm going to have to use one word.
Niecy nash: Ok, which word
Would you like to see correct on the board?
Justin porter: The sixth word, "highway".
(suspenseful music)
(audience cheers and applauds)
Ok, my wife said, "go with, trust your gut".
She said, "just trust your gut, trust yourself,
Slow down, take a breath".
(inhales)
(exhales)
♪ love is like an open highway
Niecy nash: Ok, I'm going to stand in the gap
For your wife right now. Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: Justin!
Justin porter: Thank you. Niecy nash: Slow down now!
Justin porter: Ok. Niecy nash: You know
When you get nervous!
Justin porter: That's what she sounds like.
Niecy nash: You can't think straight!
Justin porter: Yeah, yeah.
Niecy nash: Now take a breath!
Justin porter: Ok, ok.
Niecy nash: And I don't know why you're marrie
To an old southern black woman right now, but.
(audience laughs)
Justin porter: She lives in my soul.
Niecy nash: That's the best I got, that's the best I got.
Justin porter: That's good, that's good.
That actually helped.
(niecy chuckles)
Ok, can I change "love"?
I think "love" is what's throwing me off,
'cause if "love" and "highway" is right,
I don't know what the heck they're going to put
In between those two words.
I want to replace "love".
Niecy nash: Please reveal the correct word for line one.
Justin porter: Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, all right.
Niecy nash: Why don't you sing that top lyric into this,
And see how you feel.

(audience cheers and applauds) (dramatic music)
Niecy nash: Ok, justin.
Justin porter: Woo!
Niecy nash: You just locked in those lyrics.
If you are right,
You have $75,000.
(audience cheers and applauds)
But if you are wrong,
You drop down to $25,000. Justin porter: Mm-hm.
Niecy nash: For $75,000, is it,
"heart is like an open highway"?
(drum roll)
(celebratory music)
(audience cheers and applauds)
You did it!
(audience cheering)
That is $75,000! Justin porter: Woo!
Niecy nash: How are you feeling?
Melanie: Wow.
Justin porter: I can't believe it.
Audience: Justin, justin, justin, justin, justin, justin!
Niecy nash: Up next is the big one, $100,000.
We'll try to put that money in justin's pockets,
Next, on "don't forget the lyrics".
(upbeat music)
Welcome back.
Justin has owned the stage,
And has banked 75 grand so far tonight.
Plus, he still has his backup singer, and one word left,
With only three categories still on the board.
Now justin is about to play for $100,000!
(audience cheers and applauds)
Justin, $100,000 is life-changing money.
How would it change your life?
Justin porter: It wouldn't change me,
But I know there's a few bills that I would pay.
$100,000, I can just upgrade my life, you know?
I can get my wife a new car, do improvements to our house.
I don't know, I just, this is a lot of money.
Niecy nash: Well, I think, right now,
We should try to make you 100 grand richer.
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: Which category is going to get us there?
Justin porter: Oh my god.
Niecy nash: You only have three left,
R&b, taylor swift, and made in the uk.
Justin porter: Ok.
(audience exclaiming)
So, I was a little obsessed
With the fact that, when people with an accent sang,
They didn't have an accent, so...
Niecy nash: I thought it was only me!
Justin porter: Yeah, like, you know,
Like, british people,
They don't sound like british people when they sing.
Niecy nash: When they sing, I know!
(audience laughs)
Justin porter: So I'm going to have to go
With made in the uk.
Niecy nash: Ok, let's take a look
At your two song choices.
"rehab" by amy winehouse. Justin porter: Oh.
Niecy nash: Or "freedom '90" by george michael.
Are you familiar with either of these songs?
Justin porter: I'm familiar with both of the artists,
And I know, like, you know.
♪ tried to make me go to rehab
And I know.
♪ freedom, freedom
But that's about all I know of those two songs. (chuckles)
Niecy nash: Ok.
Justin porter: I'm going to go with the person
Who has facial hair that I could never have, george michael.
Niecy nash: All right.
(audience cheers and applauds)
For this song, and $100,000,
I am going to need six missing words.
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we're going to take it
Before the first chorus.
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: Ready? Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: Ricky, hit it!

Niecy nash: All right.
Justin porter: Is that right?
Niecy nash: George michael said,
"is that I don't belong to you",
You said, "and you don't belong to me".
How confident are you in this answer?
Justin porter: Well, the title of the song
Is called, "freedom",
And it wouldn't be very free if you belonged to somebody,
And they belonged to you.
Let's see, george michael.

Ok, I'm going to use a backup.

Niecy nash: That was correct.
(audience cheers and applauds)
Justin porter: After I glittered my car,
I had a whole bunch of people
That started watching me on the internet,
And they all wanted me to do stuff with glitter.
So I did a glitter tutorial
On how to paint your fingernails with glitter.
And the song I used, when I went to the store
To get the nail polish, was "freedom".
Audience member: Woo!
Justin porter: I can see myself
Walking into the drugstore.
♪ that I don't belong to you
♪ and you don't belong to me
I mean, I don't know what else would make sense.
I mean, yeah, I got to lock in those lyrics, niecy.
(audience cheers and applauds) niecy nash: All right.
(dramatic music)
You locked in those lyrics.
Justin porter: Yeah.
Niecy nash: If you are right,
You will bank $100,000.
(audience cheers and applauds)
But if you are wrong, you will drop down
To $25,000.
Justin porter: Mm-hm, ok.
Niecy nash: For $100,000, is it,
"and you don't belong to me"?
Justin porter: I can't look.
(drum roll)
(celebratory music)
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: You got it right!
Justin has just banked $100,000!
How does that feel? What are you thinking right now?
Audience: Justin, justin, justin, justin, justin!
Niecy nash: Justin is at a loss for words.
We'll step up the ladder to $150,000
When we come back on "don't forget the lyrics".
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
We started the night with 10 songs
Standing between justin and $1 million.
So far, he has conquered seven of them,
And banked $100,000.
(audience cheers and applauds)
But once again, the game is about to get harder.
(dramatic music)
Justin porter: Not good.
(audience chuckles) niecy nash: Yeah.
There are only two categories left.
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: Justin still has his backup singer, melanie,
Who is here to help him, if he needs it.
Right now, we are playing
For $150,000!
(audience cheers and applauds)
Justin, you are getting so close
To a million bucks.
Justin porter: Yeah.
Niecy nash: How are you feeling?
Justin porter: I think I'm having
An out-of-body experience.
I know I might not look happy,
But I'm really happy right now.
Because that amount,
I can't even comprehend that amount of money.
Niecy nash: That's going to buy a lot of glitter.
Justin porter: Yeah, and a lot of hair.
Niecy nash: And a lot of hair. Yep, you right about it.
Let's take a look at what you have left.
R&b, or taylor swift.
Which one is going to get you 150 grand?
(audience exclaiming)
Justin porter: I really don't know either
Of these categories, so.
(audience exclaiming)
Niecy nash: Your wife said follow your first mind.
Justin porter: R&b.
Niecy nash: All right.
(audience cheers and applauds)
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"it's your thing" by the isley brothers,
Or "bleeding love"...
Justin porter: Ok. Niecy nash: ...By leona lewis.
Justin porter: Well...
Niecy nash: Are you familiar with either of these songs?
Justin porter: I am, leona lewis was one of the artists
That I would listen to,
To see if I could pick her accent out.
(audience cheers)
And she won that show.
(justin humming)
"bleeding love", leona lewis.
(audience cheers and applauds)
Niecy nash: All right.
(audience applauding) (dramatic music)
For $150,000,
I'm going to need 10 missing words.
Justin porter: Ok.
10? Niecy nash: All right?
Audience: Oh!
Niecy nash: Relax!
(audience laughs)
We'll start the song at the second verse.
Justin porter: Ok.
Niecy nash: You ready? Justin porter: Yeah.
