And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the one, the only, Melody Sweet! Yep, that's me. I'm a future pop diva, a rags to riches tale about a girl born into the suburbia of Grand Rapids, Michigan, who is destined to become a global singing sensation. And to my devoted future fans, I want to send a message out to all of you. I can be a little bossy or arrogant sometimes, so I've heard, but I promise I'm actually super nice if you just give me a chance. People always try to tear down strong women who know what they want and believe in themselves, so try not to be threatened just because I'm ambitious, k? By gracing you with my elegant yet adorable visage. That's how! Oh, excuse you. You should be excited to enjoy such a pretty view. You never look out the window on a long train ride. It's like that, but without the ticket. I realized in that moment that I'm not special. My parents lied. I'm one of a million kids who liked an artist who will never know I exist. That thought terrified me. I made a decision that day that in the future, I'd become someone special. I don't want to be a random kid in the crowd. I want to be the woman they're watching on stage. And I want my favorite artist to know my name because I'm a pier, not a face in an ocean of faces. So, that's the dream. That's why I'm here. Hey, listen to me. As a tried and true dumbass, trust me when I say that you are not one. Never have been. I've never once thought of you like that. In fact, I think you're super smart and super kind and patient. I remember the first time I tried to say hi, you were staring off into space, deep in thought, no doubt. You're such a dreamer. Like me. I had a crush on you right then and there. Woohoo! I'm a party girl, baby! I'm a harlot for the streets! That's the good stuff! I'm on top of the world! Oops. This show asked you specifically during the application process whether you had a criminal history or family connections. And you answered no to both of those questions, knowing damn well that wasn't true!
