Anna’s song has changed from “Gold,” to “Bones”. Bebe loves it and says that song would push her to go faster and be stronger.
Josh’s song has changed from “Crazy Enough,” to “Sideline.” Bebe says it feels current, young, and fresh – so fun.
Greg is singing his song, Miracle. Bebe loved that chorus, she says it was ridiculous and he killed it.
Bebe has made her decision, she calls the three back into the room. She says that what she is going to do has never happened on the show before, there are going to be two winners. The two songs that she loves so much and is going to combine are Bones and Miracle. It was just too hard for Bebe to pick one over the other. They have never combined songs before on Songland. Bebe is thrilled about what happened, combining the two shows. It is the ultimate collaboration.
