UNIVERSAL IDOL - WEEK 2, EPISODE 2
Universal Idol opened with a huge pyro display, complete with oversized video walls showing photos and bios of all the contestants, with a voiceover welcoming all viewers in attendance and watching at home.

Before the start of the show, there's an announcement of due to technical difficulties there will be no eliminations for Week One. After a short introduction of each of the judges, announcing the departure of Prudence Melinda Halliwell with Queen Shiklah taking her place, the rules were then explained to the viewers and how five contestants will be eliminated this week.

Each contestant will sing one song of their choosing on this episode. During each performance, a number would be shown on-screen for viewers to send a text to in order to vote for that performer. After taking a day off to compile the votes, the third episode would then announce the five performers with the lowest vote totals. Those five will be eliminated from the competition.

((OOC: In the replies. each contestant will have to reply detailing their performance, which will then be replied to by all judges. Each performer will have until Friday evening to post their character’s performance for the week. If you do not have a performance posted by that deadline, your character will be eliminated by default. Five are being eliminated this week.)

PERFORMANCE: PENNY ST CLAIRE (1 of 2)

Penny opted to stick with her theme of wearing all black this week week as well. This week it was a high necked, long sleeved shirt paired with a barely there micro mini skirt. A chunky, silver studded belt hung across her hips and black heeled boots completed the look.

Despite how well they’d gone over last week, she didn’t arrive with any props tonight. Still the crowd jumped to their feet when she entered the stage. She blew kisses to them and waved energetically. When she reached the mic stand, she immediately pulled the microphone free and held it in her hand as she moved across the stage. She was utilizing every inch of that space.

“How’s everybody doing tonight?” Another cheer. Penny grinned, the microphone still hovering near her lips. “Where are all the ladies at?” This time the cheers that sounded were higher, female voices. “We’ve heard a lot of amazing songs here tonight, you guys. But that sound? That amazing sound right there? That is music to my ears. You know, where I come from, women weren’t allowed to speak for themselves.” She paused and the audience members booed. “We couldn’t hold jobs. We couldn’t walk outside without a chaperone. And we damn sure couldn’t perform on an amazing stage like this one for the chance to be a freaking rock star.” The audience stamped their feet and applauded. “Now, men. Don’t get me wrong. I still love all of you.” She looked directly into the camera and winked, “Especially you, Mr Bale. But tonight, I am dedicating this song to all the truly phenomenal, powerful, amazing women out there.”

The band began to play and Penny closed her eyes and swayed to the music.

“You, you love it how I move you.
You love it how I touch you.
My one, when all is said and done,
You'll believe God is a woman.
And I, I feel it after midnight.
A feelin that you can't fight.
My one, it lingers when we're done,
You'll believe God is a woman.”

As the beat kicked in, Penny began to add in a few more dance moves and pushed forward to sing directly to the audience members in the front row.

“I don't wanna waste no time, yuh.
You ain't got a one-track mind, yuh.
Have it any way you like, yuh.
And I can tell that you know I know how I want it.
Ain't nobody else can relate.
Boy, I like that you ain't afraid,
Baby, lay me down and let's pray.
I'm tellin' you the way I like it, how I want it.
And I can be all the things you told me not to be.
(Yuh)
When you try to come for me, I keep on flourishing.
(Yuh)
And he see the universe when I'm the company.
It's all in me.”

At this point, Penny directed her attention from the audience members to the judges. She was a bright and bubbly girl in her day to day life. Sweetness usually radiated off her in waves. But as she performed, she adopted an air of sensuality. Bedroom eyes and parted lips on full display as she moved.

“You, you love it how I move you.
You love it how I touch you.
My one, when all is said and done.
You'll believe God is a woman.
And I, I feel it after midnight.
A feelin that you can't fight.
My one, it lingers when we're done.
You'll believe God is a woman.
I'll tell you all the things you should know.
So, baby, take my hand, save your soul.
We can make it last, take it slow, hmm.
And I can tell that you know I know how I want it, yuh.
But you different from the rest.
And boy, if you confess, you might get blessed.
See if you deserve what comes next.
I'm tellin' you the way I like it, how I want it.
And I can be all the things you told me not to be.
(Yuh)
When you try to come for me, I keep on flourishing
(Yuh)
And he see the universe when I'm the company.
It's all in me.”

She’d still been moving back and forth across the stage at that point. No instruments or props, but she was creating a dynamic performance nonetheless. At this point however, she stopped near the center of the stage and hit some truly impressive high notes. ((2:20))

“You, you love it how I move you.
You love it how I touch you.
My one, when all is said and done.
You'll believe God is a woman.
And I, I feel it after midnight.
A feelin' that you can't fight.
My one, it lingers when we're done.
You'll believe God is a woman, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.”

God is a woman, yeah At this point some of the female audience members were singing along. Penny raised her arms, and danced and reveled in it all.

“My one, when all is said and done.
You'll believe God is a woman.
You'll believe God.
God is a woman.
Oh, yeah.
God is a woman, yeah.
It lingers when we're done
You'll believe God is a woman.”

It was a far cry from the Broadway number she’d performed the week before, but Penny had wanted to show that she could be diverse. As the audience applauded, she certainly hoped she’d delivered. She blew a few extra kisses to the crowd and grinned before she turned back to the judges for their comments.

Giles smiled over at Penny after she’d finished performing. “Your charisma in front of a crowd is truly a sight. Your warmth with them, and your ability to make everyone in this room feel like a friend is truly impressive. I believe it will go a long way in this competition.

For such a diminutive woman, you have an incredibly powerful voice. Both weeks now we’ve seen you choose songs that showcase just what a talented singer you are while also presenting completely different styles. All the while making everything feel completely natural and seamless. You did wonderfully, and I cannot wait to see what else you have in store for us.”

"As previously stated, I'm not the world's biggest pop fan." Rachelle began, before standing and giving Penny a sincere round of applause. "That said, you're a star. Not a future star, a fucking star. You have it all, Penny. Amazing stage presence, a voice reminiscent of the kind of silky vocals of the era Diana Ross and others hit their prime in, and by god, if you aren't one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen as well. And for once, that's not me focusing on sex either. You're just stunning. All together... I think you might have to be considered the favorite to win this whole thing right now."

"YOU ARE A STAR!" Queen Shiklah yelled out as she stood up, smiling at the young lady, "EVERYONE BACKSTAGE PAY ATTENTION, THIS BITCH JUST RAISED THE BAR FOR ALL OF YOU!" She flopped down in her chair, held her hand out, "I need a moment," she chuckled.

"You got the look, the voice, that high note, I was entertained and if no one steps up their game, you will win this." She smiled, "way to go. I can't wait to see what you are going to do next week."

	"Right now, I'd believe that you were my god," Mere joked lightly. "You are a powerhouse in a tiny package and I freaking love it. The Queen here is right. You are definitely setting the bar high for everyone. You're definitely going to be one of the performers to beat." (Reply to this) (Parent)
