[bunniefuu]

Come on.

Come on son got to go.

Oh, I think he's broken.

You okay son?

I'm coming back to the show.

Correction. He's
completely broken.

Baby I know it's hard to leave,
but you've been eliminated.

You need to make-

He's telling the truth,
he's coming back.

He's not broken.

Wait,

you guys believe a hundred
other people before you believed

me.

Pretty much yeah.

Guys I'm back!

This is exciting honey.

It really is.

This is the first time in Taking
Note history that anyone's

used the saving grace note on
someone other than themselves.

Thanks a lot for saving Calvin.

It's not like it's going
to change your outcome.

Thanks, hey.

You ready?

Bring it on.

He looks nervous, You
think he's nervous

He's going to have them
eating them out of the palm

of his hand.

Okay. We will now
take questions.

Calvin?
Calvin! Calvin?

How do you feel knowing,

even though America voted
you off, you're back anyway?

Um mm

A lot people don't
think its fair, do you?

Calvin? Your
fans need to know.

They are literally
eating his hand

Calvin?
Calvin! Calvin?

Which do you think was
really the cause of your

elimination,

your arrogance, or your
poor song selection?

Ummmm.

How about a question for Ivy?

Ivy? Ivy! Ivy?!

Why won't Calvin answer
any of our questions?

You'll have to ask Calvin?

Ivy, Ivy rumor has it, you
and Calvin aren't even close.

Why would you use the grace
note on him? Of all people?

I have my reasons.

What reasons?

Bye.

What reasons?

Calvin!

Yeah so if anyone
know a good lawyer,

I'd really like to
sue someone right now.

Okay, that is it for the kids.

I will be happy to answer
any further questions.

We'll never get
through this crowd.

Go get your brother son.

You're small and wiry,
you can get through

Finally small and wiry pays off.

Excuse me. Excuse me.
Pardon. Excuse me. Nice shoes

Calvin?

Have you seen Ivy?

My assignment was you not her?

Jaxon hows the best day
of my life also the worst.

Day of my life.

What are you talking about?

You're on the come up.
This whole thing is lit.

No, the reporters were right.

I don't deserve to be
back. America rejected me.

Don't let them ruin your
flow. You're back on top baby.

I'm back because
Ivy brought me back

and I want to know
what her reasons are.

What if she is just setting
me up to fail so everyone

can laugh at me?

I don't know. Lets
ask her. Yo Ivy?

For sure.

Thanks Bro.

I got this.

Feeling good heads in the game.

So its all coming up Ivy.

Even those exclusive
Lou Bolivia shoes

I pre-ordered finally arrived.

Oh hey Calvin.

Yeah that guy,
I know right?

I had my reasons.

Hey, it looks like he has
something he needs to get out.

Let me hit you back.

Well, let it out.

Ah my Lou Bolivia's!

Really think tap
water wouldn't do.

Calvin. Those are
my Lou Bolivia's.

No tap water would not do.

Just like new.

Thank you.

Why did you do that?

So I could put out
my emergency pair.

Why did you bring
me back to the show?

Look, I love singing and
I want to be the best.

That means beating
the best, beating you.

What about Maya?

What about her?

You were eliminated because
people think you're a jerk.

Not because you sang poorly.

Sure. I could have run with it
and be in my end, the finale,

but the only way winning actually
mean anything to me is if

I do it by out singing you.

Well I don't believe you.

That's too bad, because if
you'd believe in yourself,

that would make my
victory that much sweeter.

There he is. Calvin!

We've been looking all
over for you. Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I spoke to Ivy and she said
she brought me back because she

wanted it to beat the best.

Oh, that's good.

No, because I
didn't believe her.

Oh, it's bad.

But you know what I
figured out an hour ago,

she was right.

I am the best and going to
prove it by winning this whole

thing.

All right.

Finally, the brother
I've been waiting for.

Mama where's my purple tuxedo.

Atlanta I took it out as
soon as you packed it.

Fine I'll go with the cape then.

You guys know I could have
done this without you? Right.

Duh!

We love you son.

After months of talent
searches and a summer spent

watching the world's best
teen voices battle it out.

It all comes down to this.

Tonight Take Note
crowns a new champion,

but Take note for the first time

the final battle will be waged,
not between two finalists,

but three.

Three vocal brawlers who spent
the past week practicing for

tonight's historic showdown.

Who is your favorite?
Maybe it's marathon

Maya's slow and steady
determination you love.

Maybe it's icy Ivy
sense of inevitability

that has you pulling
for her or against her.

Or maybe it's come back
Calvin's relate-ability, who

doesn't love an underdog?

Boo!

Rhetorical question. Very
un-rhetorical answers.

You're not going to
throw up again. Are you?

I put on my cheap
shoes just in case,

even though tonight's
the big finale?

I know that look.

That was sweet.

Five minutes, Calvin.

I'm ready right now.

Welcome to a very special
Take Note, season finale.

Thanks to Ivy's unique use
of the saving grace note

to bring back Calvin.

We are about to witness the
first ever three way Take Note

final.

So how will it all work?

Please fill me in everyone
else cause I still haven't

figured it out.

Well, take note, Rudy,

because I'm about to break
it all down. To accommodate

Calvin's surprised return.

Tonight show will begin with
an elimination battle round,

featuring all three finalists.

They will all battle as a
trio, performing the same song.

The bottom singer as determined
by public vote will be

eliminated.

That will leave our two remaining
finalists to face off in a

championship round where they
will each perform a solo song.

So America, are you ready for
the Take Note grand finale?

Save some of that applause.

Cause when we come
back from our break,

you're take note finalists.

Maya, Ivy, and Calvin are
going to battle it out.

You said this wasn't going
to change my outcome.

You we're right.

I'm still taking you down.

Please welcome our first
finalist of the stage. Maya.

Break a leg Calvin.

I'm sorry your folks
couldn't be here.

Some people need
support, others don't.

Next up, please welcome
our second finalist Ivy.

Last but not least, our
third finalist Calvin.

Alright, you three.

Here we go.

Remember only two will move on,

but which two make it to
the grand finale comes down

to your vote.

So get ready to pick
your favorite singer

after the song is completed.

Let the elimination
battle begin.

cheap. Sure never been flawless
but at least I practice

pettiness please. You got
your car in park primed and

Cause through the
nights lookin fine,

That's my baby

Yeah!

Wow.

This night is already
exceeding the hype. Judges?

Absolute fire from
all three of you.

Oh I've got goosebumps.

Thank you judges.

America, it's now up to you.

Final voting is open and it's
time for you to choose the

ultimate Take Note champion.

Get ready because when
we return from break,

one of these contestants
will sadly have to go home.

Before the break,

we saw three amazing singers
perform one extra amazing song,

but the American public has
voted and declared the two top

performers to be.

Ivy!

Congratulations you're
heading to the finals.

And for our second finalist who

will be competing against
Ivy face to face...

is...

Calvin!

Which means sadly Maya's Take
Note journey has come to an

end and we do have to
say goodbye to her.

That was the best I've
ever heard you sing

Thanks.

So proud of you.

Thanks Dad.

I can't believe I made it.

I know you probably
want to fix something.

Can't have me looking
sloppy for the grand finale.

No, you know what? You're
perfect just as you are bro.

Let's get in there baby.

This is the moment we've
all been waiting for the

championship round of the
Take Note grand finale,

only Ivy and Calvin remain.

So get ready to listen and vote.

No fear.

And now for our final
performer, the pride of Atlanta,

let's give it up for Calvin.

How incredible were
Calvin and Ivy?

I think we just heard
the future of music.

No matter what you should
both be very proud tonight.

You both come so far from
your first auditions.

I'm glad we don't have
to pick the winner.

I wish you could both win.

Ditto

But unfortunately there
can only be one winner.

America it's now up to you.

Final voting is open and it's
time for you to choose the

ultimate Take Note champion.

So get ready.

Because when we returned from
break we'll announce the final

results and our winner.

Wait right here.

I was so worried about why
you saved me that I never got

the chance to say thank
you. So thank you.

Really?

Sorry. Did you say something?

I was trying to focus.

It was nothing.

Moment of truth friends
good luck to both of you.

And now for the moment
we've all been waiting for.

In my hand, I have the
results from our final vote.

America has spoken and the
winner of Take Note is.

Calvin.

Believe me now looks like
you were the best after all.

I don't know about that.

Lets bring out Calvin's family
and get this party started

Thanks to our amazing
judges Rudy, Athena, and Moe

and the entire Take Note
crew, all of the contestants,

and of course you.

We will return next summer

for a brand new
season, but for now,

this moment belongs to
our newest champion.

Congratulations Calvin!

Friends friends friends. We
have a surprise for you today.

A performer that I
think you all know

and love in town
for one day only,

please give it up for
my son, Calvin Richard.

It feels so good to be
home kind of a far cry

from my underwear kid days.

But when I found out that the
take note tour live was coming

to Atlanta.

You don't have to pay a visit
and I hope you don't mind,

but I brought a
few of my friends.
