In los angeles, where simon,

Well under way.
Paulina's not here, so the acts
Need two yeses to make it
Through to the next round.

I am natalie ann. I'm 21.
madison hill, and I'm 20.
I'm molly gray. I am 22.
and I'm jordan price, and I'm

so why did you call
Yourselves drama drama?
well, we're teenage girls.
So what teenage girls don't
Have drama issues?
I thought you were in your
20s?
[laughter]
we're not teenage girls.
we're focusing towards
Teenage girls, 'cause we like
To be positive and have fun and
Lots of energy, and so...
And we just thought it was
Fitting.
okay, so, if you guys had to
Choose a group who you'd like to
Emulate or whose career you'd
Like to take, who would it be?
all: The spice girls.
okay, great.
What are you gonna sing?

Right now screams old-fashioned,
And it just doesn't feel real.
It's three nos.
Thank you.
so things have taken a turn
For the worse, and unfortunately
For simon, this is just the
Beginning of an old-fashioned
Assault on his sense of style.

You've been locked in a room
From 15 years ago.
Everything about you I just
Find unbelievably old-fashioned.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna have to say no, guys.
it's gonna be a no for me.
that's it, guys.
Sorry.

that was not working.
So old-fashioned and corny,
I can't tell you.
Sorry, but nice to meet you.
thank you.
with everything seeming
Outdated in simon's eyes,
This next group has a lot to
Prove.
all right, so you guys ready
To go?
yeah.
my name is mark scott, and
I'm 25 years old.
my name is rosan scott,
And I'm 24.
my name is marquis scott,
And I'm 28.
Uh, we're all from los angeles,
And we're...
all: Aknu.
and, um, we would describe
Our group as classic, but we
Don't want simon to think that,
You know, we're old-fashioned.
This is our chance right here,
Right now.
we want this very badly,
Honestly.
you know, growing up, we
Lived in shelters for a pretty
Good amount of time, different
Ghettos in south central.
But no matter where we lived,
What kept us positive and kept
Us on track was actually
Singing.
all right, aknu, the judges
Are ready for you-
Right up the stairs.
we pretty much don't want
Simon to think that we're
Old-fashioned.
We've heard him make those kind
Of comments before.
Right now the goal is for him
To look at us and say, "that was
Bloody good."
[cheers and applause]
hello.
how you doing?
how are you, guys?
we're doing great.
okay, who are you?
we're aknu.
It stands for "a kind never
Understood."
okay, who put the group
Together?
we formed it ourselves.
We're all brothers, so I guess-
oh, okay.
And where are you from?
we're from los angeles.
We was born in boston but raised
Out here in l.A., south central.
okay, and you work here?
I work as a program leader
For after-school all-stars,
For children in schools, so, you
Know, shout-outs to all my kids.
[cheers and applause]
I sell cars.
It's not as fun and exciting,
But that's what I do.
I'm in the in-home-care
Business-
Shout-out to all my patients.
[laughs]
"shout-out to all my patients."
okay, guys, you've got to
Stop weaving around.
It's like being on a boat.
You're making me feel sick.
sorry.
we're just hyped, ready to
Roll.
okay, right.
[cheers and applause]
and what are you gonna sing?
valerie.
Our mother's name is valerie,
And, actually, we're here for
Her, so we figured that'd be a
Good choice.
[cheers and applause]
good luck.

Hey, I'm carlos guevara.
I'm 16.
I'm from lexington,
South carolina, and I'm
Currently a ninth-grade student.
I actually started singing when
I was 12.
What-wh-sorry.
Um, I-I was diagnosed with
Tourette syndrome and ocd when
I was 12.
wow.
and through puberty, it
Started to get worse.
It's crazy, but a couple of
Months ago, I actually had to
Start-I had to leave school.
It's-it's been a hard year.
I started out as the
Vice president of my whole
Entire student body, and I was a
Football player, and then it all
Just kind of crashed and burned.
It's just-it's, uh, pretty
Crazy, 'cause, you know, it
Has to do with, like, the brain
And neuro-your-ah-ta-ta-ta-
Uhh! See? Like that.
Tourette's and ocd affect my
Life every day.
Sometimes I beep and yell, and
My body moves.
[grunts]
They tried every medicine in the
Book, and the only thing that
Could help me was music.
Yeah.
[grunts]
you don't have to be ashamed
Of who you are.
You know, just go and do it.
I'm ready.
you know we all support you.
yeah.
when carlos was first
Diagnosed, my biggest worries
Were just the people that he
Had grown up with and grown to
Love would just walk away.
But not only have his friends
Stayed, they have all really
Stood behind him.
oh, my god.
oh, I'm so excited.
I'm so happy for him.
these are an amazing group of
Friends.
They just love him with every
Single tic that he has.

I couldn't ask for any better
Friends.
They're the best.
They don't care.
we're so proud of you!
We love you!
they're so supportive.
I love you guys too.
To be here today, I've had to
Overcome a lot.
I've had to overcome my tics,
My ocd, all the little voices
In my mind that told me
I couldn't do this.
I'm nervous.
I'm extremely nervous.
It's crazy, you know?
You never think this is gonna
Happen to you, and it's
Happening right now.
it's a big deal.

This is my dream.
And my mom always told me to
Follow my dreams, and this is

Genuinely, from the minute it
Started, I was willing this
To work out for you, and you
Were battling with that song
The entire way.
The trouble was you lost more
Times than you won.
And I personally-I couldn't
Put you through to the next
Round because I just know who
Else I've put through.
[somber music]
Um...
I'm really disappointed.

I didn't like of the audition.
When you hit the high part of
The song at the end, it was
Sensational.
