That's the first sweep in Singing Bee history!
ROUND 5: Chorus Showdown
Jason leads going into the round, so he
gets the honor. The first song is from 1983 by the Oak Ridge Boys. He
passes.
- 1983, Oak Ridge Boys, "American Made".
Carrie: "My baby is American Made / From
California to..." No, it was "Born and bred in the USA."
Jason?
- 2006, Taylor Swift, "Picture to Burn"
Jason: "I hate that stupid old pickup truck / you never let me drive /
You're a redneck heartbreak / Really fell in line
yeah." OH! It was "Who's really bad at lying."
This is Carrie's big shot.
- 2008, Jimmy Wayne, "Do You Believe Me
Now"
Carrie: "So do you believe me now? / I guess I really wasn't that crazy
/ and I knew what I was talkin' 'bout / 'Cause
every time the sun goes down" No cause...
Jason has one more chance...
- 2000, Steve Holy, "Good Morning
Beautiful"
Jason: "Good morning beautiful / How was your night / Mine was wonderful
/ With you by my side / Then I open my
eyes" It was "and when I open my eyes".
We're going to Sudden Death! The subject:
a 2006 Craig Morgan song... Jason fires... and plays.
- 2006, Craig Morgan, "International
Harvester"
BAND: I'm the son of a third generation farmer / I've been married 10
years to the farmer's daughter / I'm a God fearin' hard workin' combine
driver / Hoggin' up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower / Chug a lug a luggin'...
Jason: "Five miles an hour." WIN!
But now the hard part begins. He's five
songs away from $10,000, but if he gets three strikes, it's all over but
the $500 for each correct song. But Jason's a good player, I think he
has what it takes to beat.... THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

Girl your memory / won't ever haunt me / Cause I don't love
you / And now if you'll buy that / I got some...

Arizona" And we're off!

$500 |

| Song #2:
I asked him when it sank in / That this might really be the
real end / How's it hit you / When you get that kind of news

(2004, Tim McGraw, "Live Like You Were Dying") |
$1000 |
|

| Song #3:
Blank stares at blank pages / No easy way to say this / You
mean well but you make this / Hard on me / I'm not gonna
write you a love song...

it." THREE FOR THREE!
(2007, Sara Bareilles, "Love Song") |
$1500 |

It's the way you love me / It's a feeling like this / It's

$2000 |
|
|
|
| Song #5:
At first I was afraid / I was petrified / Kept thinking I
could never live without you...
Jason: "By my side" WINNER!
(1978, Gloria Gaynor, "I Will Survive") |
$10,000 |
|
|
|

possibly... Best Singing Bee Champion... EVER. EVER...
