Is that because you're not very good It's because we're too good I think Why did you decide to put this group together because we are military and because we're being trained to be leaders Music has been a way for us to just have fun together And how long you've been rehearsing for so many hours have been put into this. We love singing together and we're so excited to be here Okay. Well, listen guys. I genuinely wish you the best of luck looking forward to it. Thank you so much.

That has been our journey as a group. Yes But are you actually serious now about competing in the show?

I am so glad you kept the cheesy awkward choreography. That is my favorite Brilliant boys, well done. I hope America votes for you. They have to they have to Simon Well, what can I say guys? This is such an improvement from where we first met you I always thought maybe was a bit of a prank when you first came on This is the first job because you were kind of like laughing and I get it But this time I really genuinely felt that you meant it that you believe in yourself With every time I see you I feel and I hear you I feel good You're not professional singers, but that's part of your charm It's the fact that you don't do the obvious and you're decent people and your friends and this is important for us and the show I thought you did great. I mean you we I think we're gonna see you in the finals Right before they came on I was talking to Simon and I said I feel bad because I do respect the Armed Forces I respect what you do that I can do what I can do because you do what you do and I said, I don't really love them You know I before and then you just did what you did and I loved it Being back with the three other judges, oh, I've just had the best time Holly I love you Simon. Yeah, it's been great Absolutely loved it. We loved having you here Because you know Simon Mel B used to throw water all over you How's it been having her sitting next to you do I get the chance to do it on no You can't as soon as I get back out of you I don't know how to transition. I'm just late. No, I gotta be I gotta pee You ever have to pee like real bad like, you know real bad You had a public restroom, right? Right and instead of it saying like men and women they try to be creative It's like a boat in a fish you like which one Everyone's walking to the wrong restroom Every woman in here has walked in and been like when they put your nose inside the restroom And every dude has walked in like is that a couch? They got a couch. Is that a vending machine? Kind of candy is that that's some weird candy They got lotion what I got lotion inside the restroom Can't have a lotion in the men's restroom Yeah, you know because we're not gonna use it it's the waste of lotion what are y'all laughing at what we are laughing Beautiful I feel the same way. I always want more parmesan. I was stingy on the parmesan It's disgusting I don't like your song So I'm saying No I gotta say I didn't I didn't love it Sofia
