Millions of people have been stung once
again by the Singing Bee, so CMT is back with another round! Who's got
the chops to take $10,000? Only one way to find out!
We start with a visit from Reba McEntire,
who gives our heroine Melissa some badly needed advice: stick to
hosting. Then... what's a game show without a "Big Deal"?
PICK FOUR

Me"
BAND: I wanna talk about me / Wanna talk about I / Wanna talk about
number one / Oh my me my / What I think, what I like, what I know
Samantha: "What I want, what I see!" RIGHT ON!

love has always been...

me wanting you...
Michele: "Drive you crazy." THAT'S FOUR!
And now that we have four, it's time to
play the Bee! Let's meet the players...

First up is William. He needs three to
stay in the game.

points, giving him 43 and the lead!

to stand a chance.

She sweeps it for 45! Now she's in the
lead.
Samantha needs to get 13 to lock in the
next round.

place with 24 for 44!

forces a tiebreaker.

Devin... sweeps for a perfect 50! Second
in Singing Bee history. He and Michele are going on to battle for the
trophy!
CHORUS SHOWDOWN
Devin will have the honor on the first
song, a Faith Hill song from 2005. Devin... will PLAY.
- 2005, Faith Hill, "Mississippi Girl"
Devin: "'Cause a Mississippi girl don't
change her ways / Just 'cause everybody knows her name / Ain't big
headed from a little bit of fame / I still like wearing my old ball cap
/ Riding my kids around piggy back / They might know me all around the
world / But, y'all, I'm still a Mississippi girl" (PERFECT!)
Michele needs to nail this to stay alive.
- 1994, Brooks & Dunn, "She's Not The
Cheatin' Kind"
Michele: "She's not the cheatin' kind /
He she's been." OH! Little stumble costs
big. Devin wins it!
Now Devin's batting 1000 right now. He
could very well win $10,000. All he has to do is complete five songs
correctly. Each one is worth $500 cash. Five is worth $10,000. BUT, miss
one and get a strike. Miss three... and the game is over. But you do get
to take home any cash you win, so no excuse not to go for it. It's time
play... THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!
