I'm not quite happy with the way it was executed. I didn't rehearse enough, but I guess I had fun and that's all that matters to me.
• Video missed out a "YES YOU CAN!"
• Smash Mouth - All Star... missed out a few lines
• Rocky Balboa's Inspira... missed out a "YOU"RE BETTER THAN THAT!"
(failed): • Video
this was all over the place, the original thing i wanted to say was this:
When the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, you did. But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you’re no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow.
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!

Somebody once told me the world is going to roll me
I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules, I had hit the ground running
Doesn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain may get smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey, now, you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
While all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars can break the mold

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted. In one moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?
A Frees stands on this stage, his palms are sweaty. his knees weak, his arms are heavy
There's sweat on his shirt already, but no therapy.
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready,
Tries to be calm but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
His words are choking now, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, and his time is up, it's over, now
He snap back to reality and there he feels the gravity
He's so mad, but he won't give up.
Not easy, no, but he won't have it.
He has his whole back on the ropes,
But it doesn't matter, he tries and he copes.
He better capture this moment and hope it doesn't pass him
so my message to you, dear speakers,
you better lose yourself in the moment,
the moment that you own, you better not let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to show
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, so man up and go

By the way, I didn't get a placing. Doesn't matter, like I said, it's about the fun of it and expressing what I wanted to say. But more about the fun.
