about a thousand girls who could.

Can't l just audition?

That's what l'm talkin' about.

l should be dancing in videos

like this. You're right,you should.

But sometimes you gotta start in the

back door if you wanna get in the front.

You already gave me that lecture.

'Cause if you would have listened to me,

your ass would have been

famous by now. For what?
