[SINGING] Been working so hard, I'm punching my card. Eight hours for what? Oh tell me what I got. When I first got the phone call that said you guys will be participating in "The Sing-Off," we'd like you to come, I remember I was shaking and I was like, really? and she was like, no, really. [SINGING] I got this feeling that time's just holding me down. Yeah! And I like wanted to text all of the guys, like have you guys heard yet? But I like couldn't text on my phone because I was shaking. [SINGING] I'll hit the ceiling, or else I'll tear up this town. And I was ecstatic, just thrilled for the opportunity to be able to do that. [SINGING] Tonight I gotta cut loose, footloose, kick off your Sunday shoes. Please, Louise, gotta pull me off of my knees. But for me, right at the very beginning it was kind of tough. Like, I know school was going to be hard to balance with everything. But I knew and I've decided from a long time that I was gonna always concentrate my talents on the Lord. Our main goal on "The Sing-Off" was to share with people messages of hope. We love taking opportunities in our real concerts to share songs that have special messages to them, and this next song shares a message with us that not all of us are perfect and that we all need saving. [SINGING] I need Thee every hour-- As much as we want to win and we want to do well and perform in an exemplary way, I think just the opportunity to be able to bring some light to the gospel and to the Church was a huge part of that. We were getting that chance to share our testimonies and the Spirit with so many people and help them feel what we feel. Along with that, we're not just people that sing together; we're all really friends. And so we kind of have these spiritual bonding moments that really bring us together. All of us had our own struggles and our own difficulties in regards to "The Sing-Off." Some of us were missing fiancees or family members. Others of us were really worried about big projects that are important for our futures as we're students here at BYU.

If I focus on the Lord and the things that really matter, things that are going to last beyond today, that's really when I can feel His Spirit and that strength to keep going.

My dad passed away during the filming of "The Sing-Off." The Lord works in a mysterious way, and the fact that he passed away while we had an opportunity on a television show where we could have a forum or a stage to share the message of the gospel really--

you just don't know why those things happen. [SINGING] Every time I pray I'll be missing you. And it's because it's a really powerful tool. It's something that brings emotion and that the Spirit can be felt with. And I know that that's true, that music is kind of a tool to help people feel something and to recognize that what they're feeling is the Spirit and that it's with us. [SINGING] Is Lord of all.

Ooooh.

Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping-- The camaraderie that we feel, the friendship that we have with all of us is something that's irreplaceable, something that I will never forget. Those moments where we asked for help, when we asked for strength, those prayers were answered for sure. You can be a faith-led person and live the lifestyle of a follower of Jesus Christ and be in that business. [SINGING] Greet the morrow. Christ the babe was born for you, Christ the babe was born for you Oooh, ahhh.
