Is it, "the day that I die"?
(drum roll beats)
Deborah ortiz: I'm dying now. (laughs)

Yes!
Niecy nash: You got it right, and you banked $2,500.
You're on your way to that million dollar song.
Deborah ortiz: Oh, my god.
Niecy nash: Let's try to double your money right now.
This next song is worth $5,000.
(audience cheering) all right, debbie,
Which category is going to get you $5,000?
(audience shouting) deborah ortiz: Ok.
I'm being pulled to karaoke classics
Because I just love karaoke and do it with my friends.
And that's it, karaoke classics.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: All right.
Here are your two song choices.
Deborah ortiz: Whoa. Niecy nash: "it's my life"
By bon jovi, or "like a virgin" by madonna.
(audience shouting) deborah ortiz: Hmm.
Niecy nash: Are you familiar with either of these songs?
Deborah ortiz: Yeah, I know both of them.
And I love madonna. (audience cheering)
So I think I have to go with "like a virgin", yes!
Niecy nash: All right. Deborah ortiz: Whoo!
Niecy nash: Now, me and you are gals
Who've been around the block a couple of times.
Deborah ortiz: Yeah, I have.
Niecy nash: Been a long time since we felt like this.
(deborah and audience laugh)
But I'm looking forward to your rendition.
I'm going to need five missing words,
And we're going to start from the top.
Deborah ortiz: Oh, ok.
Thank you. Niecy nash: All right?
Deborah ortiz: All right, let's do this!
Niecy nash: Ricky, let's do it!

♪ touched for the very first time ♪
Niecy nash: Sing it, girl.
♪ like a virgin

♪ a virgin (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right, debbie.
Madonna said, "like a virgin, when your."
You said, "heart beats next to mine."
Are you feeling confident about these lyrics?
Deborah ortiz: Not 100% right now. (laughs)
(audience laughs)
Niecy nash: All right, well, let's just talk through
What your backup options are.
Your first option is your backup singer.
Who did you bring with you tonight?
Deborah ortiz: Oh!
I brought jenni.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Hey, jenni.
Deborah ortiz: Jenni's son, chris,
And my daughter, angela, are engaged to be married.
(audience cheering)
And not only are we extending our families
To have one big, beautiful family,
But I also got a friend for life.
Yeah. (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: I love that.
Well, jenni can help you out with the answer
But only for one song.
Or you have three words.
If at any time, you are unsure about a word,
Tell me what it is, I'll reveal the correct answer.
Now, you can use all three of your words at once,
Or you can spread them out across the game.
Would you like to use one of your backups?
Deborah ortiz: I would like to use one word,
Please. Niecy nash: Ok.
Deborah ortiz: Word number one, please.
Oh, yeah.
(audience cheering)
I feel confident now, niecy,
So I'd like to lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right, debbie.
You locked in those lyrics.
(audience cheering) deborah ortiz: Ay.
Niecy nash: So for $5,000,
Is it, "heart beats next to mine"?
(drum roll beats)
(triumphant music) (fireworks blast)
(audience cheering) deborah ortiz: Oh, yes!
Niecy nash: You got it.
$5,000!
Deborah ortiz: Oh.
Niecy nash: Let's try to double your money again.
This time, you're playing for $10,000.
(audience cheering)
Deborah ortiz: Whoo!
Niecy nash: Which category do you think
Is going give you the money?
(audience shouting)
Deborah ortiz: I have to go with disco because
I am old enough to have remembered
Dancing in the discos, hustling, doing all that,
Doing the hustle, not hustling. (laughs)
Niecy nash: Wait a minute.
I knew exactly what you meant.
Deborah ortiz: I know! (laughs)
Niecy nash: I got you, girl.
All right, let's take a look at your two song choices.
"y.M.C.A." by the village people,
Or "heaven must be missing an angel" by tavares.
(audience shouting) deborah ortiz: Ok, yeah.
I have to go with "y.M.C.A.".
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Ok.
All right.
I'm going to need four missing words.
(audience cheering) deborah ortiz: Ok.
Niecy nash: Ricky, let's hit it!
(upbeat disco music)

♪ I say, young man
♪ when you're short on your dough ♪
♪ you can stay there
♪ and I'm sure you will find
♪ so many ways to have a good time ♪
♪ ba ba ba (audience cheering)
Deborah ortiz: Oh, man! Niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look at this.
The village people said,
"and I'm sure you will find many ways to."
You said, "have a good time."
Deborah ortiz: It feels right,
And I don't know why I am doubting myself,
But I am.
Um...
(upbeat music) (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
We are here with debbie,
Who is in the middle of an incredible game,
And we're going to jump right back into it.
So what are you going to do?
Deborah ortiz: I'm going to have to use a backup.
Niecy nash: All right.
Would you like to use one of your backup words?
Or would you like to use your backup singer?
Deborah ortiz: One of my backup words first.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Which word would you like to see the correct answer to?
Deborah ortiz: Number three, please.
Niecy nash: That was correct.
(audience cheering)
Are you feeling confident?
Deborah ortiz: I just have to go with it.
I need to stop doubting myself!
All right, it's in god's hands.
I want to lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheering) niecy nash: All right.
You locked in those lyrics, debbie.
For $10,000,
Is it, "have a good time"?
(drum roll beats)
(triumphant music) (fireworks blast)
(audience cheering) deborah ortiz: Oh, oh!
Niecy nash: You just banked $10,000!
Are you ready to turn it into 25 grand?
Deborah ortiz: Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Niecy nash: Well, right now,
The game is about to get harder.
There are six categories left.
This next song is worth $25,000 guaranteed.
(audience cheering)
Debbie, what would you do with $25,000?
Deborah ortiz: I'm going to cry, I'm sorry.
The reason I'm here
Is so that we can help our children with their wedding.
I don't know why I feel so emotional, but I want to help,
We want to help our children.
Ah! (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Well, I'm a mother too,
And it is emotional when we think about
How much we love our children
And how much we're willing to sacrifice for them.
(audience cheering) deborah ortiz: That's right.
Niecy nash: So let's see what category
Is going to pay for this wedding.
All right? Deborah ortiz: That's right!
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Here's what you still have left in play.
(audience shouting)
Deborah ortiz: I have to go with power ballads
Because they're in love, and it's their wedding.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"it's all coming back to me now" by celine dion,
(audience cheering)
Or "I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that)"
By meatloaf.
Deborah ortiz: Oh, man.
(audience shouting)
I have to choose "I'll do anything for love"
Because that's what I'm doing. (audience cheering)
I'm doing anything for love.
Niecy nash: I like the way you think.
This is for $25,000 guaranteed.
(audience cheering)
I'm looking for six missing words.
Deborah ortiz: Ok. Niecy nash: All right?
We're going to start into the first chorus.
Deborah ortiz: Ok.
Niecy nash: You ready?
Deborah ortiz: Yes, I'm ready.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: All right.
She's ready, ricky.

Niecy nash: Let's take a look.
Meatloaf said, "some days, it don't come at all, and these."
You said, "are the days."
Deborah ortiz: I'm pretty sure about these are the days.
It's just what comes after that.
♪ some days it don't come at all ♪
♪ and these are the

Niecy nash: All right, remember,
You still have your backup singer,
And you have one word left if you need it.
Deborah ortiz: I need a backup here.
Niecy nash: Ok, what would you like to do?
Deborah ortiz: I'm going to ask jenni
To give me a hand here. (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right, jenni.
How are you feeling about what you see on the board so far?
(suspenseful music)
Jenni: Um...
Announcer: With this meatloaf song,
Deborah has bitten off more than she can chew.
Deborah ortiz: Oh, shoot.
Announcer: And for $25,000,
Her friend has to wrap up the leftovers.
Niecy nash: Are you two ready to lock in these lyrics?
Announcer: Next on "don't forget the lyrics".
(upbeat music) (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
So far, debbie made it through three songs
And banked $10,000, but we want to get her to a million.
(audience cheering)
All right, jenni.
How are you feeling about what you see on the board so far?
Jenni: I feel like the three that are there are good.
I want to say, "these are the days that never end."
Niecy nash: Why don't we put that up there?
"these are the days that never end."
What are we thinking over here, ladies?
Deborah ortiz: You know, I have one more word left.
Niecy nash: You have one more backup.
Deborah ortiz: One more backup, thank you.
Yeah, I have to use it.
Niecy nash: Where would you like to use your backup?
Deborah ortiz: I think I'm going to have to use it
On number six.
(deborah gasps) (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Are you two ready to lock in these lyrics?
Deborah ortiz: Lock in those lyrics.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Has this dynamic duo got it right?
(deborah laughs)
Well, we're about to find out.
For $25,000 guaranteed
And a chance to help the babies with the wedding.
Deborah ortiz: Yes.
Niecy nash: Is it, "are the days that never end"?
(drum roll beats)
(triumphant music) (fireworks blast)
(audience cheering) deborah ortiz: Yeah!
Niecy nash: You did it!
Deborah ortiz: Oh, my god!
Niecy nash: $25,000 guaranteed!
Deborah ortiz: Jenni!
Niecy nash: Thank you, jenni.
Thank you.
Deborah ortiz: Thank you. Jenni: Thank you.
Deborah ortiz: Yes!
Niecy nash: That money is yours
No matter what happens in the game.
Deborah ortiz: Thank you.
Niecy nash: How does that feel?
Deborah ortiz: I'm dreaming.
I really am dreaming.
I cannot say thank you enough.
Thank you.
Jenni, I love you. (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Yes.
All right, there are five categories left
To the million dollar song, but you are out of backups.
Deborah ortiz: No, I do have one backup.
It's my sister.
Audience: Aw.
Deborah ortiz: Yeah, she passed away,
But I carry her in this heart, so I've got backup.
Niecy nash: I know that's right.
(audience cheering)
Let's see if your sister can help you
Because now, we are playing for $50,000!
(audience cheering)
All right.
Let's see what category is going to get you that money.
You still haven't played pop, '90s,
Rock, hip hop, and taylor swift.
(audience shouting) deborah ortiz: Ok.
I'm going to try to rock this 50,000 with rock!
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"centerfold" by the j. Geils band,
Or "I believe in a thing called love" by the darkness.
(audience shouting)
Deborah ortiz: I'm going to go
With "centerfold".
(audience cheering) niecy nash: All right.
For $50,000, I'm going to need six missing words.
Deborah ortiz: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we will take the song from the top.
Deborah ortiz: Ok.
Niecy nash: Are you ready?
Deborah ortiz: We're ready.

Deborah ortiz: Right, right, right. (laughs)
Niecy nash: 'cause you got it down pat.
Let me tell you something.
Deborah ortiz: I just want to make sure.

That is correct.
No matter what happens, you are going home with $25,000.

Deborah ortiz: Yeah.
Niecy nash: But if you get this right,
You could go home with $50,000.
Deborah ortiz: Yeah. (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right?
Or on your way to a million.
(audience cheering) deborah ortiz: Right.
I'm not feeling confident,
But we're going to lock in those lyrics.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Ok.
You locked in those lyrics.
Deborah ortiz: I know.
Aw. (audience laughs)
Niecy nash: For $50,000,
Is it, "my memory has just been told"?

Deborah ortiz: Ok, all right.
Niecy nash: Now, I'm wondering,
Jenni, do you know the correct answer?
Deborah ortiz: You do.
Jenni: Memory has just been sold.
Deborah ortiz: Oh.
Niecy nash: My memory has just been sold
Is what you think it is?
Please reveal the correct answer.
Audience: Oh.
Deborah ortiz: That makes sense.

A professional sax player from nashville, tennessee.
It's amber woodhouse!
(audience cheering)
(upbeat saxophone music continues)
(audience cheering) hey!
Amber woodhouse: Hello!
Niecy nash: Now that's the way you make an entrance.
How long have you been playing the sax?
Amber woodhouse: Man, I've been playing
Since I was about eight years old.
I saw someone in church playing, and I was hooked.
But I never in a million years thought
I'd be on the "don't forget the lyrics" stage
Playing saxophone for you and everyone in america.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Wow.
Amber woodhouse: I'm actually going to invite
My lovely assistant, amanda broadway, up here.
She's the only person I would trust to handle my horn.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: I know what that's like.
Amber woodhouse: Thank you so much.
I love you.
Niecy nash: All right.
This is how the game is going to go, amber.
If you give me the correct missing lyrics to 10 songs,
I'm going to give you $1 million!
Amber woodhouse: Yes, let's go!
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Let's take a look
At the categories for tonight.
Party songs, '80s, pop,
Girl groups, elvis, r&b, alternative,
Today's hits, and disco.
Amber woodhouse: Ooh. (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Now, which category
Do you want to play for first?
(audience shouting)
Amber woodhouse: Oh, my gosh.
This is such a tough decision.
A lot is riding on this.
I'm going to start with pop.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Ok.
Let's give you two songs to choose from.
"this will be (an everlasting love)" by natalie cole,
Or "shut up and dance".
Amber woodhouse: Whoo!
Niecy nash: By walk the moon.
Amber woodhouse: Hmm. (audience shouting)
Listen, natalie cole is such a beautiful singer,
And I'm not sure I could do her justice in this moment,
So I'm going to go with "shut up and dance" by walk the moon.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: All right.
For this song, amber, I'm going to need four missing words.
Amber woodhouse: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we'll start it from the tippy top.
Amber woodhouse: Whoo, all right, let's do this.
Niecy nash: Ricky, she's ready.

Niecy nash: All right.
Walk the moon said,
"I don't know how it happened, we took the."
You said, "floor, and she said."
How confident are you in this answer?
Amber woodhouse: I'm actually 100% confident
That it is, "the floor and she said."
I want to lock in those lyrics, miss niecy.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: All right.
You locked in those lyrics, amber.
If you are correct, the line will turn green.
Amber woodhouse: All right.
Niecy nash: If any word is wrong, it will turn red
And the game will be over.
For $2,500,
Is it, "floor and she said"?
(drum roll beats)
(triumphant music) (fireworks blast)
Hey! (audience cheering)
Amber woodhouse: Yes!
Niecy nash: You got it right.
You just banked $2,500,
And you're on your way to that million dollar song.
We have a lot more coming up
On "don't forget the lyrics".
Amber woodhouse: Yes!
(upbeat music) (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
I'm here with amber, who has banked $2,500
And has all of her backups left.
(audience cheering)
Let's try to double that money right now.
This next song is worth $5,000.
(audience cheering)
Amber woodhouse: Ok, ok.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at the categories.
Party songs, '80s,
Girl groups, elvis, r&b,
Alternative, today's hits, and disco.
Which category do you want to choose next?
(audience shouting)
Amber woodhouse: I really, really love girl groups.
I grew up listening to the spice girls,
En vogue, destiny's child.
Like, I think that that's going to do me well.
Niecy nash: Girl groups.
Amber woodhouse: Yes. (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
Amber woodhouse: Ok.
Niecy nash: "waterfalls" by tlc or-
Amber woodhouse: Let's go!
Niecy nash: "spice up your life" by the spice girls.
Amber woodhouse: Ok.
Niecy nash: Now, you did a happy dance.
Amber woodhouse: Yeah.
Niecy nash: Tell me what you're thinking.
Amber woodhouse: First of all,
Both of those are iconic songs,
And I listened to both of them equally when I was a kid.
I think I'm going to go with spice girls, "spice up your life"
'cause I'm trying to spice up my bank account
With some more money.
Niecy nash: A spicy bank account never hurt nobody.
Amber woodhouse: At all.
Niecy nash: All right.
For $5,000, I'm going to need four missing words.
Amber woodhouse: All right.
Niecy nash: And we'll start the song at the first verse.
Amber woodhouse: Perfect.
Niecy nash: Are you ready?
Amber woodhouse: I'm ready.
Niecy nash: Ricky, let's do it.

(audience cheering) amber woodhouse: Ooh.
That came up quick!
Niecy nash: I don't know if your lyrics are correct
But your enthusiasm is on point, ok?
The spice girls said, "shake it to the right if you know."
You said, "that you feel fine."
Amber woodhouse: Yes.
Niecy nash: How are you feeling about that answer?
Amber woodhouse: Now that one, I'm about 90% confident
Because you know when you're a kid
And you're listening to songs
And you think you know the lyrics,
But you're actually putting words in place of the real ones?
Niecy nash: Oh, do I? (audience laughs)
Amber woodhouse: So I would actually love to use
One of my backups.
Niecy nash: All right, let's just talk through 'em
So you understand exactly what your options are.
Amber woodhouse: Ok.
Niecy nash: Your first backup is your backup singer.
Who did you bring with you today?
Amber woodhouse: I brought the lovely amanda broadway.
(audience cheering) she is so incredible
As a human, but she also knows her lyrics.
Niecy nash: Now, amanda can help you with the answer
But only on one song.
Amber woodhouse: Ok.
Niecy nash: Or you have three words.
If at any time you are unsure about a word,
Just tell me which one it is
And we will reveal the correct answer.
Amber woodhouse: I would actually love to use
One of my backup words. Niecy nash: Ok.
Which word would you like to see the correct answer for?
Amber woodhouse: In word number four.
Ok, whoo! (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: How are you feeling now?
Amber woodhouse: I feel great, more than fine.
Let's lock in those lyrics.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right, you locked in those lyrics.
For $5,000,
Is it, "that you feel fine"?
Amber woodhouse: I really, really hope so.
(drum roll beats)
Oh, come on.
(triumphant music) (fireworks blast)
Yes!
Niecy nash: You got it right.
Amber woodhouse: Yes!
Niecy nash: That is $5,000.
Amanda broadway: Whoo! (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Amber is on her way to the $1 million song.
We'll try to get her a little closer
Next on "don't forget the lyrics".
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
(audience cheering)
Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
Amber has spiced up all of our lives and banked $5,000.
(audience cheering) she still has
Her backup singer and two words left if she needs them.
This time, you're playing four $10,000.
(audience cheering) amber woodhouse: Ok.
Here we go!
Niecy nash: Let's take a look.
Which category do you want to play next?
(audience shouting)
Amber woodhouse: I'm an '80s baby,
But I really love disco.
I am an old soul,
And disco is definitely one of those things
So I would love to go and see that disco category.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"shake your groove thing" by peaches & herb,
Or "I just want to be your everything" by andy gibb.
Amber woodhouse: Mmm.
Man, these are both great songs.
I'm not super confident on either.
But if I had to choose one, I would choose
"shake your groove thing" by peaches & herb.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: I think that's a good choice.
You got a groove thing to shake,
And I'm going to need five missing words.
Amber woodhouse: All right.
Niecy nash: We'll start it at the bridge.
Amber woodhouse: I think I got this.
I think I got this. Niecy nash: Ready?
Amber woodhouse: Ready.
Niecy nash: She says she's got this.
(upbeat disco music)
♪ groovin' loose
♪ heart to heart
♪ we put in motion every single part ♪
♪ funky sounds
♪ wall to wall
♪ bumpin' booties, havin' a ball, yeah ♪
♪ shake your groove thing
♪ shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah ♪
♪ show 'em how we move it now
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right, let's take a look.
Peaches & herb said,
"shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah, show 'em."
You said, "how we move it now."
How are you feeling about this answer?
Amber woodhouse: I'm not sure
If it's how we move it now or how we groove it now.
I would love to use one of my backup words.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Which word would you like to see the correct answer for?
Amber woodhouse: Word three, please.
See?
Niecy nash: Ok, now the line reads, "how we do it now".
Are you feeling more confident about this?
Amber woodhouse: Much more confident about this.
I want to lock in those lyrics.
(audience cheering) and I'm going to pray.
I'm going to pray.
Niecy nash: All right.
You locked in those lyrics.
For $10,000, amber,
Is it, "how we do it now"?
(drum roll beats)
(triumphant music) (fireworks blast)
Amber woodhouse: Oh! (audience cheering)
Ah!
Niecy nash: Amber, you just banked $10,000!
But now, the game is about to get harder.
Amber woodhouse: Oh, man.
Niecy nash: There are six categories left.
This next song is worth $25,000 guaranteed.
(audience cheering) amber woodhouse: Whoo!
Niecy nash: What would you do if you won $25,000?
Amber woodhouse: Well, you know, I wouldn't be
Who I am and where I am today without my parents.
They actually financed my entire musical education.
And so I would like to use that $25,000
To go towards those tuition fees.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: Oh, wow.
Amber woodhouse: Yeah.
Niecy nash: Is there any way after the show
You could call my children
(amber laughs)
And I can get some of my money back?
All right, which category would you like to play for next?
Amber woodhouse: Ah, whoa.
You know, I believe that r&b
Is going to be what gets me that $25,000.
(audience cheering) niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look at your song choices.
"return of the mack"-
Amber woodhouse: Oh.
Niecy nash: By mark morrison,
Or "I keep forgettin' (every time you're near)"
By michael mcdonald.
Amber woodhouse: Man, I'm going to go
With "return of the mack". (laughs)
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Ok, for $25,000 guaranteed, amber,
I'm going to need seven missing words.
Amber woodhouse: Ok.
Niecy nash: Ricky, from the top.
(laid back r&b music)
This is my jam!
♪ well, I tried to tell you so
♪ but I guess you didn't know
♪ as the saddest story goes
♪ baby, now I got the flow
♪ 'cause I knew it from the start ♪
♪ you were there and you broke my heart ♪
♪ that I had to come again
♪ and show you that I'd win
Niecy nash: Hey!
♪ you lied to me
♪ all those times you said that I loved you ♪
♪ you lied to me
♪ yes, I tried
♪ you lied to me
♪ even though you said that
Amber woodhouse: I love you?
Niecy nash: All right.
Mark morrison said, "you lied to me, even."
You said, "though you said that I love you."
How are you feeling about these lyrics?
Amber woodhouse: I'm about 50% confident on that,
But I think I need to use my backup word one more time.
Niecy nash: Ok, which word would you like to see?
Amber woodhouse: I would love to see word number six.
Audience: Oh.
♪ I'd die for you
Amber woodhouse: I'm going to say
♪ even though you said
Ok.
(upbeat music) (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
So far, amber made it through three songs
And banked $10,000. (audience cheering)
We want to get her closer to a million.
So what are you going to do?
Amber woodhouse: I need to ask my backup singer
To come on up.
Niecy nash: Amanda, come on up.
Amber woodhouse: We're going to do this together. (laughs)
Niecy nash: How you doing, amanda?
Amanda broadway: I'm doing good, niecy.
Niecy nash: Let me ask you, amanda, how are you feeling
About what you're seeing on the board so far?
Amanda broadway: I'm feeling about the same way
Amber's feeling... Amber woodhouse: Yeah.
Amanda broadway: To be honest with you. (laughs)
Amber woodhouse: Do you want to sing it?
Amanda broadway: I would love to sing it with you
And see if we can... Amber woodhouse: Yeah.
Niecy nash: All right, girls, ae ready?
Amber woodhouse: Yes.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: The ladies are ready, ricky!
(laid back r&b music)
Hey!
♪ you lied to me
♪ all those times I said that I loved you ♪
♪ you lied to me
♪ yes, I tried
♪ you lied to me
♪ even though (mumbles)
(audience cheering) (amber laughs)
♪ even though you said you'd die for me ♪
Amanda broadway: Is my best guess,
But I can't tell you that I'm 100% sure.
Amber woodhouse: That's exactly what I was thinking too.
Niecy nash: "even though you said you'd die for me".
Amber woodhouse: That's what came to your mind.
For better or for worse. (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: I love that you all
Are doing a pinky swear over there.
(audience cheering)
If these lyrics are correct,
You will bank $25,000 guaranteed.
If this is wrong, you walk away with nothing.
Or you can bow out
And keep the $10,000 you've already banked.
Amber woodhouse: Hmm.
Amanda broadway: I'm not going to lie.
I'm second guessing the lyrics.
I'm wondering if it's, "you lied to me
Even though I said I'd die for you,"
If it's 'I'd' instead of 'you'.
Niecy nash: Would you like to see that up there?
Amber woodhouse: Yeah, let's see it.
♪ you lied to me
♪ even though I said I'd die for you ♪
Amber woodhouse: That feels better.
Mom and dad, I'm going to risk it.
Please don't be mad at me. Amanda broadway: Oh, boy.
Oh, gosh.
Amber woodhouse: I'll find a way.
I'm going to risk it.
Amanda broadway: Oh, my god!
Amber woodhouse: Miss niecy, let's lock in those lyrics.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Amber woodhouse: I'm so sorry, mom and dad.
Niecy nash: You locked in those lyrics.
For $25,000...
Amanda broadway: Oh, my god, I can't.
Amber woodhouse: I know!
Niecy nash: Guaranteed.
Amber woodhouse: Please.
Niecy nash: Is it, "though I said I'd die for you"?
(drum roll beats)
Amanda broadway: Oh, my god, I can't.
Amber woodhouse: Please, please, please, please, please.
Amanda broadway: Please, please, please, please.
Amber woodhouse: Come on.
No! Amanda broadway: Oh!
Niecy nash: That was not correct.
Amber woodhouse: Oh, man.
Niecy nash: You're leaving with nothing.
Amber woodhouse: I understand, but I gained an experience
With one of my best friends. Niecy nash: Yes, you did.
(audience cheering) let's take a look
And see what the correct lyrics are.
Amber woodhouse: Even though you knew I...
Oh! Niecy nash: "though you knew
I'd die for you."
I'm sorry you didn't win anything.
Amber woodhouse: That's ok.
Niecy nash: But we had a great time watching you tonight.
(audience cheering) one more time for amber.
Amber woodhouse: Thank you!
(upbeat music) niecy nash: Next time,
More singers, more songs, more missing words
And $1 million on "don't forget the lyrics".
Goodnight.
(upbeat music continues) (audience cheering)
