and couldn't sing without auto-tune

if their lives depended on it.

- Ohh!

Ooh

Just wait until my

strings are pulled

Oh, yeah

There's no one in the curtains

Just so you know

You know, you know

I'm sitting here on my own throne

So

- So come a little closer now

We don't gotta hide, no

Hey, hey!

Go, Synergy. Go, Synergy. Go, Synergy.

Whoo!

Ow!

Shut up! I'm trying to sleep!

Stupid kids.

Erica! Erica!

Thank you. Shut your mouths.

Judy, I love what you did with your hair.

And, Bobby, what happened to yours?

Are you under a little stress?

All right, I'm just gonna jump right in.

Yes, the rumors are true.

We hacked, we scoured, we stalked.

We did everything we could

to find her and we did.

I am so honored to announce

Starlight has signed the

Internet phenomenon...

Jem.

Erica! Over here! Erica! Erica!

Effective immediately, we will

be taking over her YouTube page.

Starlight's Web site

will be the only source

for Jem content and information.

Okay, but, Erica, we've seen all that.

When do we get to see her in person?

There will be three pop-up

shows in and around Los Angeles.

These will be the first performances

she does live with her band.

And we're fielding

offers now, so stay tuned.

Where is this supposed girl even from?

You think I would tell you, of all people?

Have you read your publication? No.

In a world where everything is public, this is

the first true mystery of the decade, isn't it?

And we plan on keeping her that way.

Jem is a symbol,

you know, and her

voice speaks the truth.

She has attitude, she has style,

and in a world where

there's so many fake Jems...

like your necklace, Rebecca...

Starlight has the real deal.

Our Jem shines.

- Whoopee!

- Whoo!

Jem in the house!

Go, Jem! Go, Jem!

All right, rehearsal time. Let's go.

- Come on.

- I'm in a food coma, Rio.

If you got young blood

Live to party

Red-hot Feeling naughty

Get loose Go grab somebody

Whoa-oh-oh,

oh-whoa

I got a big announcement.

Thanks to Rio,

you will now be playing

the legendary Open Air Club.

What?

Oh, my God. I could just die.

And now we have MTV,

Billboard, Slate magazine.

They're all fighting for the exclusive!

Girls, don't get lazy

on me! Don't go to sleep!

- We're doing this!

- Okay.

All right!

As much as I'd love to

continue celebrating,

we still have a lot of work to do.

Because now you have to prove

that you earned that spot.

Okay, come on.

Thanks, Rio.

We are here at the Open Air

Club in Los Angeles, California,

where tonight, the Internet

mystery known as Jem

will be performing live

for the very first time.

There are three simple rules to

taking pictures on the red carpet.

First, posture makes perfect.

Second, lean your weight

on the back of your leg

so the camera sees you

as taller and slimmer.

Third, the most important...

smile, but don't make faces.

This isn't your high school graduation.

Paparazzi are not your friends.

And a bad photo lives longer than vampires.

Got it?

Stand up straight, lean back,

smile without moving our faces.

Oh, and squinch.

Squinch?

- Now do you see what I'm doing? Sort of...

- Yeah.

You're good. You're a natural.

That's good. Not so good.

Oh, and look like you're having

fun, but don't really have fun.

I love me

Gonna love myself I

don't need anybody else

Hey, gonna love myself No,

I don't need anybody else

Can't help myself No, I

don't need anybody else

Anytime that I like

Wait. You look amazing.

And one more thing to

help with the mystery.

Let's go, Jem.

- Okay, let's do this.

- Dad wouldn't believe we made it here.

I love me

Gonna love myself No, I

don't need anybody else

Hey, gonna love myself No,

I don't need anybody else

Can't help myself No, I

don't need anybody else

Anytime, day or night

I love me

Gonna love myself No, I

don't need anybody else

Hey, gonna love myself

I don't need

anybody else, no

I know how to

scream my own name

Scream my name

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I love me

Gonna love myself No, I

don't need anybody else

Anytime that I like

I love me

Jem! Jem! Jem! Jem!

Ladies and gentlemen...

the Internet sensation

making her live debut performance...

Jem! Jem! Jem! Jem!

the one, the only... Jem!

Jem! Jem! Jem! Jem!

- You got this.

- Thanks.

Jem! Jem! Jem! Jem!

Jem! Jem! Jem!

- I need a refund!

- Fix it! - Come on!

- Hey! J, what do we do?

- I don't know. I don't know.

Create your own destiny, right? Hey!

Hey!

Um, so we really need your

help to keep things going, okay?

Do you think you guys could get out your

phones and light up the stage for us?

Turn on your flashlights.

Come on, everyone.

Yeah, that's great. That's great. Right?

Okay?

- Okay.

- Thank you.

All right, I need

everyone to give me a beat.

I want you to stomp your feet!
