Heart & Soul Lost & Found Music Studios

-Previously on Lost & Found...

-Auditions are starting soon

and Mr T is just about to announce which songs have been chosen.

Now is Our Time, by Rachel.

I am so excited that my song got picked for auditions.

Ooh! Auditioner texts.

People come from all over to audition here.

Who knows who's going to walk in the door.

Mom, look.

Hey, I'm Maggie...

'I live in a pretty small town,

'and there's nothing like Lost & Found here.'

I can't imagine what it would be like to go there.

# You had me at hello

# So here we go, go

# With a little heart and soul

# Yeah, yeah

# That's how we come and go

# That's how we roll, roll

# With a little heart and soul

# Yeah, yeah

# You never, never know... #

I met Rachel at the auditions for Lost & Found.

She heard me warming up outside of Busker Alley.

And immediately we clicked and I knew we would be friends.

# I won't forget it

# What a life, I won't regret it

-# One chance for one last dance

-Tonight

# Toni-i-ight

# I can feel it coming faster

# It's a beautiful disaster

# One chance... #

'Audition day is a huge event here at Lost & Found Studios.

-'I am SO excited!'

-# Toni-i-ight

# You had me at hello

# So here we go, go

-# With a little heart and soul

-Yeah, yeah

# You never, never know You never, never know

-# With a little heart and soul

-Yeah, yeah

# Yeah, yeah. #

THEY GIGGLE Crazy!

Um, the auditions are in here, right?

Oh! Um... Sorry, what's your name?

Annabelle.

Um... Oh, um... You're not until the last group.

-Um, yeah...

-Oh, sorry.

I guess my mom just dropped me off really early.

-Yeah.

-Yeah. Where am I supposed to be?

Um, you actually have to be in the Junction until, like, a lot later.

Um, and where is that? I'm sorry.

Just go through the Bull Pen, down the hall and it's right there.

Oh, OK. Thank you.

I've worked so hard to get ready for this audition,

and now I've totally wrecked my first impression.

Those girls are so cool and confident.

The exact opposite of me.

-# We are the lost

-The lost

-# And the found

-The found

# Don't know where we stand Bu t it's solid ground

-# It's your shot

-Take it

-# Let's see what you got

-Don't fake it

# Only your true light shines as bright as you

# Whoa-oh, oh-oh Whoa-oh, oh-oh

# Whoa, oh, oh, oh. #

'I walk into Lost & Found and it's everything I expected it to be.'

There's nothing like this where I'm from.

Sorry, again.

Oh, hey. Are you auditioning?

Yeah. Do you go here?

-No, I'm auditioning too.

-Oh!

Uh... Hi, I'm Maggie.

-I'm Annabelle. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

-So, where are you from?

-Not from here.

I'm actually from this really small town a little ways away.

I took a bus and a train to get here,

so I'm a little bit tired but good.

I don't know how Maggie's so calm.

This audition has been all I've thought about since I moved here.

I just moved here with my mom a month ago

-after my parents got divorced.

-I'm so sorry.

It's OK. It was for the best anyway, and, you know,

now I can focus on something positive.

Actually, I was just about to head to the Java Junction,

-so if you want to come...

-You know where that is?

-I do.

-Please show me.

-Come along.

-I'm supposed to there.

Those girls over in that room that were kind of mean told me there.

-They were mean?

-Yeah, they were a little mean.

# Nah, nah-nah, nah-nah Nah, nah-nah, nah, hey. #

-Oh, hey, Leia!

-Britney!

-Hey.

-Hey, how are you?

-Good, how are you?

-Good.

-It's great you're auditioning again.

-Oh, thanks.

'I met Britney at last year's auditions.'

I got in and she didn't.

So, what group are you in?

The first group, actually.

'Today, I'm ready to prove to everyone'

that I deserve to be here just as much as Leia does.

They're just about to start, so I'll show you.

'Even though she seems really nice, I don't know what it is.'

There's something about her I don't quite like.

# Everybody tries to put me in a box

# Tell me to be different To be something I'm not

# I don't wanna see... #

'I'm playing my song, Original, for Eva.'

'John's song, Original, is beautiful.

'It has such a great vibe to it. I really like it,'

and I'm excited to see how the auditioners use it tomorrow.

# I got nothing to prove

# I'm breaking all the rules

# I'm not your typical I'm original, original

# Like Mona Lisa's smile

# Like Michael Jackson's style

# The first one of my kind... #

'Auditioning for Lost & Found was my mom's idea.'

My mom used to be an actress,

but she had to stop when she got married and had me.

'My mom doesn't realise she's doing this, but'

she's putting a lot of pressure on me.

Wow. Look, this place is amazing!

You hungry? I brought snacks

because I don't want you auditioning on an empty stomach.

Home-made hummus, carrot sticks. Hm?

-Mom, they serve food here.

-Well, is it gluten-free?

Chances are, Mom, yeah.

'I've been practising the audition song nonstop,'

so there's no way that I'll mess it up.

-Do you remember your audition?

-Oh, yeah.

I couldn't eat the entire day.

'My audition day for'

Lost & Found was...pretty terrifying for me.

It was kind of that make-or-break moment.

And once I finished my audition, I knew.

I knew that this is what I was supposed to do.

'Auditioning was definitely nerve-racking.

'I knew that there was'

a lot of kids that wanted the same thing,

and they wanted to get into Lost & Found.

But I knew what I had was special,

and I hoped Mr T would see that too.

# Original, oh-oh, oh-oh. #

-That was awesome.

-Thanks.

Hey, guys. Are you guys hiding from the audition insanity?

-Oh, yeah.

-Yes.

-Can I join?

-Please do.

-Thank you so much.

'I see John and Eva'

hiding out in the Green Room.

Guess who's joining them? Me.

Oh, man. Oh, man. Guys.

-What's going on?

-We're not hiding.

Can you not not be hiding, please?

We have a lot of auditioners here,

and you'll be spending a lot of time with some of them.

So, make them feel a bit more comfortable, maybe?

-But if we not not not hide...

-OK, no.

How about some of them come in here and we interview them

or just help them ease their nerves.

Sure. That's fine.

'We're going to bring some auditioners into'

the Green Room, try and calm their nerves

and get to know them a little bit.

# Original, original... #

Let's start asking questions to get to know these people better, yeah?

No, we need to break the ice first.

-I have a joke.

-Go ahead.

-OK.

I want to try and keep things light.

Laughter is the music of the soul...or something.

Two snare drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff.

Ba-doom-boom-chh.

You've got to be kidding me.

-OK.

-That was terrible.

I have never wanted to laugh less than I do right now.

I thought Eva's joke was pretty cute.

Did you think it was funny?

Erm, I mean, I wanted to laugh.

'Let's just say if I was eight years old,'

I still wouldn't have enjoyed her joke.

-Can I go now?

-Yeah. Good luck with the audition.

-Thank you.

'My strategy is to ask the auditioners'

a bunch of questions so they have to think fast

and forget how nervous they are.

-What is your shoe size?

-Eight.

-What is your shirt made of?

-It's cotton.

What is the average flight speed of a swallow?

African or European?

'There's not too many kids his age who get those'

Python references, so, you know, he's all right in my books.

We feed to find out about these musicians musically.

It's all about the music.

-Ready.

-Question - do you have perfect pitch?

-Uh...

-Here, here, here. Try this.

-Close your eyes.

-No, I... OK.

-What note is that?

-F. F sharp or G.

-No.

-Incorrect.

-Yeah, I was right.

When they ask me if I have perfect pitch,

I think they're trying to throw me or something.

But...I don't really think I can be thrown.

Do any of you have it?

-No.

-Rude.

-No.

-Erm...

-You know what? Actually, I think...

-I think I hear someone calling your name.

-Me too.

-Oh, yeah.

What is my name?

'We're really,'

really bad at this.

I think we should just let these musicians

get ready for their auditions.

Let the auditions begin.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to today's auditions.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'I love audition day. It's the time when the kids come in,

'they're excited, they're nervous.'

I love the energy, and it really comes out in their performances.

Here are today's ground rules.

You guys are all going to be singing the same song,

just to keep an even playing field,

and today's song is Now It's Our Time by Rachel. Woo!

'Rachel's song, Now is Our Time, I love it so much.'

The chorus is super catchy. You hear it and you're just like...

HE HUMS TO HIMSELF

Who's up first?

All right. Round of applause, please.

This is my year. I can feel it.

I know it's going to happen for me this time.

# Let go of all your worry

# I'll free you from your past

# Time moves in a hurry

# So count the seconds fast

# What are we waiting for?

# The time is ours Now-ow-ow is our, our, our time

# Now-ow-ow is our time, our time

# Now-ow-ow is our, our, our time

-# Now-ow-ow... #

-'Britney's on stage right now,

'and she's doing her audition, and it's going really well.'

I really hope this year is her year.

Yeah, I don't think Britney's going to get in.

I don't think she has what it takes.

# And if fate can make it happen

# What could make this last?

# What are we waiting for?

# The time is ours Now-ow-ow is our, our, our time

# Now-ow-ow is our time, our time

# Now-ow-ow is our, our, our time

# Cos now is our time, our time. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'I've seen Britney before. She's gotten better.

'She's tenacious, she's back again.'

But it really all depends on who else is here auditioning.

# What are you waiting for?

# The time is ours

# Now-ow-ow is our, our, our time

# Now-ow-ow is our time

# Now-ow-ow is our, our, our time

# Now-ow-ow is our time... #

I feel like this is really the right time and place for me.

Everyone else is nervous, but I feel like I belong here.

# If you could find some courage to... #

GUITAR STRING SNAPS

-Oh, my gosh! Do you have another string?

-No...

That's OK. I'll just play the audition song on the piano.

-Wait, this is the audition song?

-Yeah.

'I have the wrong song.'

This is a total disaster.

All right. Awesome job.

Who wants to be our next victim?

All right. Let's go.

Good luck, sweetheart! Break a leg!

Mom, parents aren't allowed in here.

-SHE CHUCKLES

-Ah... OK.

-THEY CHUCKLE

-I'll be...out here.

-Love you!

-THEY LAUGH

'I feel really sorry for Nate when his mother barges in.'

I would be super embarrassed if I was in his position.

# Let go of all your worry

# I'll free you from your past

# And time moves in a hurry... #

'Nate's audition is going really well.

'But we have a lot of musicians here that'

sing really well and play the piano,

so I don't really know if there's a spot.

# ..for... #

'Nate is like a little enigma. Watching his fingers on the piano,

'you can tell he's been training a long time,'

so we'll see what happens.

You're going to be totally fine. We've all been there. It's all good.

It's not all good. I don't know the song,

and we're auditioning really soon.

-You know what? I have it on my phone. You can just listen to it.

-Please.

Yeah, of course. Calm down. Calm down.

Why did I tie this up so well?

There you go. It's OK. You're going to be totally fine.

Take a breath. Take a breath.

-You got it?

-Yeah.

-You can hear it?

-Mm-hm.

-Are the lyrics on here too?

-No, but I'll help you.

# Let go of all your worry...

# Let go of...all your worry

# I'll free you from your past...

-# ..from your past... #

-Yeah.

-# Time moves in...

-In a hurry... #

Yeah, you got it. You remember.

-Count...

-The seconds...fast.

-Fast.

-Yeah.

I don't have enough time to learn this.

-You do. You have a ton of time. Don't even worry.

-No, I don't...

Last group, you're up.

You hang onto that and keep listening.

'I can't believe I learned the wrong song.

'There's no way that I'm going to get in now.'

# Let go of all your worry

# I'll free you from your past

# Time moves in a hurry

# So count the seconds fast... #

'I can't believe Maggie pulled this off.

'She didn't even rehearse with the keyboard,

'and she's still doing amazing.'

# Now-ow-ow is our, our, our time

# Now-ow-ow is our time

# Now-ow-ow is our, our, our time... #

'She's doing really well.'

She's got a really interesting vibe,

a very cool personality to her voice,

'and I really like how this song is sounding.'

'I really like how Maggie made this song her own'

but still kept true to the song. It was really nice.

# Now is our time. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'There are so many amazing musicians this year.'

I know that Mr T's going to have a really hard time, but I'm excited.

# Let go of all your worry

# I'll free you from... #

I could totally see that last girl here.

Mm-hm. She had a really cool vibe.

I mean, she needed some work, but...we all did at one point.

SHE CHUCKLES Speak for yourself.

Yeah, whatever.

'I love connecting with Luke on a musical level.'

I mean, our styles are a little bit different,

but our love of all things music is pretty much the same.

# ..is our, our, our time

# Now-ow-ow is our time, our time... #

'I think Julia is a great singer.

'The thing is, there's an electricity that's missing, and I'

don't know that she'll make it in as a result of that.

# And if you can find some courage

# To lead you down the path

# And if fate can make it happen... #

-I feel like every singer's bringing their own vibe to it.

-Yeah.

The bar's a lot higher this year.

# What are we waiting for?

# The time is ours

# Now is our, our, our, our time

# The time is ours now. #

Is there anyone left?

'It's now or never, and I'm just going to go up there'

and try my best, and hopefully it's OK.

All right. Show us what you've got.

-Round of applause.

-Good luck.

Um... Uh... I'm Annabelle.

-MICROPHONE FEEDBACK SQUEAKS

-Ow.

Sorry.

Um, can I have...can I have the lyrics, please?

'It is unheard of to ever ask for lyrics at an audition here.'

I mean, it's almost sacrilegious. You just don't do that.

'You know what? Sorry, I can't help you out. That's the way it is.'

'This is the music business.'

You come into an audition prepared. That's it. It's that simple.

It's OK. Never mind. It's fine, it's fine.

# Let go of all your worries

# I'll free you from your past

# ..er, hurries

# So count the seconds

# ..waiting for?

# The time is...ours... #

'Poor Annabelle. She must be feeling awful.

'I really thought she was going to pull it together.'

'Watching her crash and burn is really tough.'

I don't know what's going on, but it ain't good.

'She got off track pretty quickly,

'and it's really hard to come back from that.'

# If you could...find some courage

# If fate... #

It's got to stop now. It's just... She is not ready.

CRYING: 'This was my one chance and I blew it.'

I'm never going to get in.

'First day of auditions went great.

'I mean, I feel like a weight is lifted,'

it's so much less stressful, everyone did amazing.

'Well, except for that one girl.

'But I'm very excited to see

'what everyone brings to the table tomorrow.'

PHONE BEEPS

Mom?

SOBBING: Mom, can you please come and pick me up?

I totally messed up my audition.

I embarrassed myself in front of everyone.

I...I got the wrong time and I learned the wrong song.

It was just humiliating.

I need you to come and pick me up, please.

But, Mom, I can't be here any longer.

Please.

Sorry, just...please.

I'll see you soon, OK? I love you.

OK. Bye.

'This is the last time I'll ever be at Lost & Found,

'and I guess I owe it to myself to at least sing the song I prepared.

'This isn't the right audition song or the wrong audition song,'

it's my song.

# What would you call me if you called me on the telephone?

# Cos my name's always been the same - one you've never known

# There's a pageant I'm in that I always win

# And the sash across me says Miss Invisible

# Hides from you in plain sight

# Miss Invisible

# Can't even see her in the spotlight

# Miss Invisible

# Playing a chorus for the shadows

# Till the walls come down You're alone

# Miss Invisible... #

'Luke and I decide to cut through the Rose Room

'to get to the Bull Pen,

'and we see Annabelle standing on stage singing her heart out.'

# What would you say if you never played another note?

# Maybe later you're the sailor that missed the boat

# There's a pageant I'm in that I always win

# And the sash across me says

-# Miss Invisible... #

-She deserves to be here, man.

I just don't think we can do anything about it.

-She already had her chance.

-# Miss Invisible... #

There's got to be something.

-# Can't even see her in the spotlight... #

-Come on, let's go.

# Miss Invisible

# Playing a chorus for the shadows

# Till the walls come down You're alone

# Miss Invisible. #

# Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh

# Whoa, oh-oh-oh

# We are the lost and the found

# Don't know where we stand

# But it's solid ground

# It's your shot Let's see what you've got

# Only your true light shines

# As bright as you

# Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh

# Whoa, oh-oh-oh

# Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh
