Intro clip... Paris: I'm going to be doin' Beyoncé's 2003 hit "Work it out". I get to be fun. I get to be a teen. I get to be 17 and I get to dance for all the young ones. (Laughs)
Paris sings...
¯ C'mon, hey! ¯ Ah get up, he! ¯ I like this! ¯ How ya doin', honey, baby ¯ I know you don't ask for much ¯ But for a girl spendin' time alone ¯ Can be pretty rough ¯ Okay ¯ I get a knock on my door ¯ Huh ¯ I know it's yours for sure ¯ I can't wait for the bedroom ¯ So we just hit the floor ¯ Sing it girls! ¯ (Is y'all alright) ¯ I don't know, but I know what I know what's happened to me, girl, say... ¯ (Is y'all alright) ¯ ...Hey-ey-ey. Huh, huh!

Randy Jackson: Yo... yo-yo-yo... Paris, all I can say... That was fearless. It was 'da bomb'

Paris: Thank you.
Randy Jackson: That, to me, was the best performance of the night thus far.
Paris: Thank you Randy.
Randy Jackson: America, this is a hot one right here! (Cheers)
Paula Abdul: Paris, I'm sorry, but you said you wanted to be a kid tonight. Those weren't kid moves! (Paris laughs) Ah, Beyoncé is probably goin' "Oh my God!" Because, you know, no-one can do it like her but I think the Pussycat Dolls might be callin' you up to star in their show.
Paris: Thank you! (Laughs)
Paula Abdul: That was awesome!
Simon Cowell: Well, I'm sorry to put a damper on everything because I thought it was precocious. I thought it was like a...
Paula Abdul: What!
Simon Cowell: It was... ah, you know what it reminded me of? I... (Groans and boos from the audience)
Randy Jackson: No, come on!

Paris: (Still smiling) Thank you!
Randy Jackson: Current!
