00:35 For You alone are worthy

00:50 I magnify Your name
00:54 For You alone are worthy
00:59 to be praised
01:04 For You alone are worthy
01:12 to be praised
01:22 Everyone did a great job.
01:24 Twila, that was great.
01:26 Every time I hear you sing, it gets better and better.
01:29 Thanks.
01:31 You're welcome. Everyone did great.
01:33 Remember to be at church an hour early, okay?
01:35 See you tomorrow.
01:45 You were wonderful, as usual.
01:48 You keep on singing for the Lord,
01:50 you'll have a blessed life.
01:51 Thank you. How are you two doing?
01:53 Fine. Okay.
01:55 Well, I have to leave now,
01:57 but I'll see you tomorrow at church.
01:58 We'll be right there, honey, to support you.
02:00 Tell your mom and dad we said, "Hello."
02:02 Okay, I will. Bye.
02:04 Bye.
02:06 She was singing--
02:07 She's going somewhere.
02:08 She's going somewhere.
02:11 Twila,
02:12 Twila,
02:16 I did it.
02:17 I did it. Your big cousin did it.
02:19 Wait, could you tell me why I'm so proud of you?
02:23 Oh, I got the audition for the Down and Dirty Label.
02:26 It's been on the radio for the past 6 months
02:28 that they're looking for talent.
02:29 They're holding auditions
02:31 and the winner gets a recording contract.
02:33 Uh, who would want a recording contract with Down and Dirty?
02:37 Um, didn't they put out that song called
02:38 "It's all about the booty"?
02:40 Look, Miss Goody Good shoes,
02:42 I won this audition by sending in my sample CD,
02:44 so clear your schedule.
02:45 You are going with me to the audition next week.
02:48 I am? Yes, you are.
02:50 Just like when I supported you
02:51 at your gospel concert last year.
02:53 Cousins don't let cousins audition alone.
02:57 Okay, I'll go.
02:59 As long as you promise not to tell anymore whack jokes.
03:02 Okay.
03:04 So excited.
03:11 Wow.
03:28 Okay, um, Cathy Roberts.
03:30 R and B singer, right?
03:32 Yeah.
03:47 Hey, tell me what you think of this.
03:52 As I walk down the streets
03:54 Step by step
03:55 Allyou little people best do not forget
03:57 That I'm a grizz I'm the toughest
03:58 I'm the meanest you see
04:00 And all you people can't mess with me
04:04 What you think?
04:05 Not bad.
04:07 Yeah.
04:13 Number 642.
04:34 Oh, man, this is whack.
04:55 I'm good enough. You know I'm good.
05:12 Cathy, are you all right?
05:17 No, I can't do it, Twila.
05:25 I thought I was ready for this,
05:26 but I can't take the pressure.
05:28 Don't worry about it,
05:30 coz, it's not the end of the world.
05:32 Come on. Let's go get some water.
05:54 Twila,
05:59 I need another favor from you.
06:02 Take my place.
06:03 I don't want to burden you for just with the record label.
06:06 Cathy, you're taking this audition a little too serious.
06:10 I mean, they have people coming in and out all the time.
06:14 Just tell them you're sick and can't perform.
06:16 They don't know the difference between you and me.
06:18 Just sing and get rejected like everybody else, please.
06:21 No.
06:22 Why not? It's just singing and you love to sing.
06:24 And why not for your big cousin?
06:26 Please?
06:29 Okay, fine.
06:31 But I'm singing gospel.
06:33 Cathy Roberts, you're up.
06:42 Cathy Roberts.
06:44 Oh, what do you plan on singing for us today?
06:48 Amazing Grace.
06:51 You realize this is an audition for Down and Dirty label, right?
06:55 Yeah, I know. If you want me to leave--
06:56 Just let us know when you're ready.
06:59 This should be quick.
07:04 Amazing grace
07:08 how sweet the sound
07:13 That saved a wretch like me
07:21 I once was lost
07:26 but now I'm found
07:31 Was blind but now I see
07:44 That was incredible.
07:48 Well, thanks for the audition, but I have to leave now.
07:50 No, no, no, wait.
07:52 Wait.
07:54 I don't understand why God destroyed the earth
07:56 with the flood and Noah and his family
07:58 were the only people who lived.
08:00 The earth was filled with so much sin
08:01 that God decided to start the world over.
08:04 The only people who were following God's word
08:06 were Noah and his family.
08:07 You know, so He asked Noah to build an ark.
08:09 What's an ark?
08:11 A big, huge boat.
08:13 I mean, so big, that you can fit animals inside.
08:16 Why did God ask Noah to build the ark?
08:18 These are good questions.
08:19 Now I believe the Lord speaks to everyone.
08:21 We just have to listen, like Noah.
08:23 Now Noah had faith in God and because he did,
08:26 his family and the animals survived the flood.
08:29 How'd he get those big elephants on the ark?
08:31 That's a stupid question.
08:34 Oh, there's no stupid questions.
08:36 Let's say I'm Noah.
08:40 So, okay, we're in the ark and it's going back and forth.
08:44 There's waves and everything was going all over the place.
08:49 All the waves and the water and Noah's family,
08:52 and the animals it's like "Aah!"
08:55 Hi, Twila.
08:57 Hi.
09:00 Is everything okay?
09:03 Yeah.
09:04 We were just about to have a closing prayer.
09:09 All right. Who wants to say the closing prayer?
09:11 I do.
09:15 Dear Lord, please help us to be faithful like Noah
09:18 and to be ready for the next flood.
09:20 Amen. Amen.
09:23 All right, go straight to your parents, guys.
09:27 Don't run.
09:29 It was for the kids.
09:31 I wanted to get them here with the ark and Noah and,
09:34 I mean, the water, everything.
09:36 Okay. For the kids.
09:38 Mm-hmm.
09:39 Okay.
09:41 If you keep this between us,
09:42 I have a ticket to see Chris Bolton in concert.
09:45 Chris Bolton? Yeah.
09:47 My lips are sealed.
09:48 Cool.
09:50 Um, I have something to tell you.
09:51 All right. What's up?
09:52 Well, let's go outside.
09:54 Okay.
09:55 So Cathy was too scared to sing
09:58 and too afraid to let the Record Label know
10:00 because she's really infatuated
10:01 with the idea of a recording contract.
10:03 So why did you do the audition
10:05 when it was misleading the judges?
10:07 I couldn't let her down.
10:09 Ryan, you should've seen her.
10:11 She wanted it so badly.
10:15 Colossians 3:9.
10:17 "Do not lie to each other,
10:19 since you have taken off your old self with its practices."
10:22 "And have put on the new self."
10:23 "Which is being renewed in knowledge
10:26 in the image of its Creator."
10:30 Just be careful.
10:32 Twila, don't get caught up.
10:37 Let's go inside before they start complaining
10:39 about the young folks never being on time for church.
10:53 Hello?
10:55 Girl, you are not going to believe this.
10:57 We-- or should I say you--
10:58 got a callback.
11:00 They want to meet with all the finalists tomorrow.
11:03 Twila, are you there?
11:06 Yeah. I'm here.
11:08 What's wrong?
11:09 Girl, you should be proud of yourself.
11:11 Well, I don't know what my parents
11:13 and the church is going to say about me
11:15 pursuing a recording contract
11:16 with a company called Down and Dirty.
11:19 What does this have to do with following
11:21 your dreams and becoming a singer?
11:23 First of all, this contest is based on a lie.
11:28 I'm not Cathy Roberts.
11:31 I can't do this anymore.
11:32 We have to tell them the truth.
11:34 Why?
11:36 Because this has gone on for too long.
11:40 Okay.
11:41 It was my idea, so I need to let them know.
11:43 Let's take the meeting together
11:44 and I'll tell them the truth.
11:47 Okay. Thanks for understanding.
12:04 May I help you?
12:05 We have a 3:30 appointment.
12:07 What's the name?
12:08 Cathy Roberts.
12:10 Yes, you do.
12:11 Mr. Cash will be with you shortly.
12:13 Excuse me, we have some misunderstanding.
12:15 We're not here to meet with the owner,
12:18 just one of the coordinators from the audition contest.
12:21 There's no misunderstanding.
12:23 Cathy Roberts has an appointment with Mr. Cash.
12:26 Please have a seat.
12:29 What's up?
12:30 Wasn't expecting two?
12:32 Carl Cash.
12:33 My name's Twila.
12:35 And this is my cousin Cathy Roberts.
12:37 Pleasure to meet both of you. Please sit.
12:42 So this is to talented Miss Roberts.
12:45 Yes.
12:47 But I'm not the one who auditioned.
12:48 My cousin took my place
12:50 because I got sick and couldn't perform.
12:52 But we're here to straighten things out.
12:54 So you can select somebody else for the deal.
12:56 I mean, we apologize
12:58 for the mix-up and not being honest.
13:04 I accept your apology.
13:07 But it doesn't change anything.
13:09 But Mr. Cash, I don't rap or sing R and B.
13:13 Twila, you can sing period.
13:16 The world needs to hear your voice.
13:18 My label will make that possible.
13:20 It may not be your genre, right now,
13:22 but it will give you the platform you need to sing
13:24 what you want in the future.
13:27 I know this is a lot to handle.
13:31 Here's our offer.
13:33 Take it home. Let your parents and a lawyer look it over.
13:37 You may be disappointed with my answer.
13:40 I won't be.
13:41 Would be myself.
13:46 Pleasure meeting you.
13:48 Pleasure to meet the real Cathy Roberts.
14:18 What's up?
14:20 So what did your parents say about the recording offer?
14:22 We had our lawyer look it over
14:24 and he said it's a standard label deal, one sided.
14:28 As far as signing, it's up to me.
14:30 I'm almost out of high school,
14:32 so as long as I'm not taking off my clothes off
14:34 in a music video or using profanity in my lyrics
14:38 they'll support my decision.
14:41 I don't think you should sign with that label, Twila.
14:43 You sing gospel.
14:44 That's your future.
14:46 I will, but that's my long term goal.
14:49 I need to get a start somewhere.
14:51 I mean, you never know.
14:53 Maybe they'll eventually let me sing gospel.
14:55 Down and Dirty label producing gospel?
14:57 Come on, Twila.
14:59 You can tell a tree by the fruit it bears.
15:02 I haven't made my mind up yet.
15:04 Ryan, you're more on me than my parents.
15:06 If you know better, you do better.
15:09 I mean, your parents don't know the game like we do.
15:11 They're gonna try to get you to change your values.
15:13 The temptation of fame and money is too strong.
15:16 But I'll never be alone.
15:19 I'd be walking with my armor.
15:21 That's what Peter thought until the cock crowed three times.
15:31 Yeah.
15:38 Schedule the recording studio for 3 o'clock.
15:41 No, she's here.
15:43 Okay.
15:46 So what did you think of the deal?
15:49 Well, my parents' lawyer looked over the contract
15:52 and everything's fine.
15:54 Looks like it's easier for you to get rid of me
15:56 than for me to fire you.
15:57 Well, I'm the one taking the risk.
15:59 I'm putting up all the money to make you a star.
16:02 Are you saying yes?
16:04 I need to ask you a couple of questions.
16:07 Does your company ever plan
16:09 on expanding to other genres of music?
16:11 Well, I've been in this game too long and never say never.
16:14 Twila, you have a gift.
16:16 The fame and success is a part of sharing the gift.
16:19 Embrace it.
16:21 Enjoy it.
16:22 So what do you say?
16:26 You have a deal.
16:29 So when do we get started?
16:31 We get started right now.
17:14 I have good news.
17:15 What?
17:17 We're ready to introduce you
17:18 and your new singer to the world.
17:20 Scheduled your listening party at the Underground Lounge.
17:23 But it's too soon.
17:25 You're ready.
17:27 Embrace it.
17:31 Oh, don't worry. Yours is apple juice.
17:48 What are you doing?
17:51 Well, I heard about your coming out gig.
17:53 And I wanted to let everybody know so we can support you.
17:56 Brian, take that down.
17:58 That's not cool.
17:59 Why? I mean, are you ashamed?
18:02 No, but there's a time and place for everything.
18:05 I don't thing we need to advertise this in the church.
18:08 When have you ever performed and your church family
18:10 wasn't there to support you?
18:12 Now tell me why should this time be any different?
18:15 Unless...
18:18 It is different.
18:30 We had a wonderful time in church today.
18:33 And the song.
18:34 Oh, what's this?
18:36 Hey, Twila.
18:40 Yeah, we got to go.
18:41 Okay, great.
18:54 Good evening, ladies.
18:56 I think you're in the wrong place.
18:58 Is this where Twila Williams is singing?
18:59 Yes, Ma'am. But are you sure you were invited?
19:02 Young man, we are family.
19:04 Get out of the way.
19:09 You need to take that sign down.
19:10 Yes.
19:12 Down and Dirty isn't the best title to name an event,
19:14 especially when our Twila's involved.
19:17 This is the beginning of your career.
19:19 How do you feel?
19:21 A little nervous.
19:22 Couldn't we have had my debut at a church?
19:25 I would have felt more comfortable.
19:27 Maybe later, but for now
19:29 this is to clientele the buyers my records.
19:32 One second.
19:35 I need to take this.
19:36 I want you to walk around and meet your future fans
19:38 just to help you with your nerves.
19:40 Okay.
19:43 Hello?
19:46 Twila Williams is just like all the others in my stable.
19:50 Gonna drop her first two singles.
19:52 If they don't sell, I'm gonna drop her like a bad habit.
19:55 Gospel?
19:57 I would never let her sing gospel on my records.
20:00 They all talk that God crap
20:01 until they get a taste of the good life.
20:03 Twila is no different.
20:10 Ladies and gentlemen,
20:11 you are about to hear the next chord,
20:14 and the next hit from Down and Dirty records.
20:16 The single, "I Need Love Too" will drop next month,
20:20 but you'll hear it first.
20:22 I give you the talented Miss Twila Williams, everybody.
20:38 Good evening.
20:39 I want to thank everyone for coming out to hear me sing.
20:43 This song is one of my favorites.
20:45 I sing it, when I'm in trouble and don't know what to do.
20:57 Amazing grace
21:03 how sweet the sound
21:08 That saved
21:11 a wretch like me
21:18 I once was lost
21:22 but now I'm found
21:27 Was blind
21:29 but now I see
21:37 Was blind
21:39 but now I see
22:01 You're through.
22:03 I'm through when God says I'm through.
22:04 Not you.
22:10 I am on the battlefield for my Lord
22:16 I am on the battlefield for my Lord
22:21 And I promise Him
22:23 That I will serve Him till I die
22:27 I'm on the battlefield for my Lord
22:32 I was alone and doubted
22:35 I was a sinner too
22:37 I heard a voice from heaven saying there is work to do
22:43 I took the master's hand
22:45 and I joined the Christian band
22:48 I'm on the battlefield for my Lord
22:53 And I promise Him
22:55 That I will serve Him till I die
23:00 I'm on the battlefield for my Lord
23:19 Twila Williams?
23:22 Chris Bolton.
23:23 How are you doing?
23:24 What are you doing here?
23:26 You're like my favorite gospel singer.
23:27 Well, Nutty told me you could sing,
23:29 so I just had to come and see for myself.
23:31 And I tell you,
23:33 God has given you such a beautiful gift.
23:36 Coming from you, that means a lot.
23:39 I just got to remember to keep the faith.
23:41 Well, listen now, I heard about what happened with Mr. Cash.
23:44 But guess what?
23:46 How would you like to sing
23:48 a duet with me on my next project?
23:51 Are you serious?
23:52 Yes, yes, and I don't lie.
23:54 I mean, especially when I'm standing right here
23:56 in front of the house of the Lord.
24:01 Thanks for helping me keep the faith.
24:19 Hey, yeah
24:24 The songs out of your heart
24:27 Is feeling weak and low
24:30 The spirit filled you up, until it overflows
24:37 And if you feel that you just can't hold on
24:43 Together we'll sing the highest praise
24:47 Loud and strong
24:50 To the morning we gathered together in perfect harmony
24:56 For spirits were among us for eternity
25:03 Song that comes out of your heart
25:05 Is a sacrifice of praise
25:09 Glory Hallelujah to the ancient of days
25:23 Yeah, ancient of days
25:44 Let your heart sing out
25:47 Higher notes
25:51 Let your soul ring out
25:54 Higher notes
25:55 Let your soul ring out
25:57 Sing a song from deep inside you
26:00 Higher notes
26:02 Higher and higher we will walk together
26:07 Higher notes
26:08 Yeah Yeah
