Ryan Seacrest: (Intro part 1) Just one more left before we open the lines. Here is Paris...
Intro clip... Paris: (Singing in rehearsals with Queen) ¯ Empty spaces ¯ What are we living for ¯
Brian May: (Piece to camera, alongside Roger Taylor) The thing about Paris is she's damn good!
Paris: (Singing) ¯ The show must go on ¯
Paris: (To camera) Bein' on that stage was the best. They had the dim lights and when I said "Show must go on" big lights just clicked on and everything started rockin' and Brian has his curly hair and he's all like (Shakes her head all around)
Brian: I like everything about Paris. I think she's fantastic.
Paris: That was the highlight of my life, being on American Idol.
Ryan Seacrest: (Intro part 2) With "The Show Must Go On", let's hear it for Paris Bennett...
¯ Empty spaces ¯ What are we living for ¯ Abandoned places ¯ I guess we know the score ¯ On and on ¯ Does anybody know what we are looking for ¯ Another hero ¯ Another mindless crime ¯ Behind the curtain ¯ Or the pantomime ¯ Hold the line ¯ Does anybody want to take it anymore ¯ Show must go on ¯ Hey! C'mon! Ha ha ha! ¯ Show must go on ¯ Yea-ee-ehhh-ayyy! ¯ Inside my heart is breaking ¯ My make-up may be flaking ¯ But my smile still stays on ¯ My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies ¯ Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die ¯ I can fly, my friends ¯ (The show must go on) ¯ Hey-eh-eh-ee-ay-ay-ah-ay-ee-ayyy! ¯ (The show must go on) ¯ The show must go on ¯ I'll face it with a grin ¯ I'm never giving in ¯ On with the show! ¯
(Cheers and applause)
