A Cappella History Made by All-Female Group
Gail:
I think we have just seen some a cappella history being made, John.
John:
And from an all-female group, Gail. I could never have called this one.
Gail:
Never. Well, you are a misogynist at heart, so there's no way you would have bet on these girls to win.
John:
Absolutely.

Real Life Auditions and Musical Expectations
Tommy: [to prospective singers; [w:Kelly Clarkson|Kelly Clarkson]
For the audition, you will sing 16 bars of ]'s Since You've Been Gone'. If a group likes you, they will contact you directly. My tone-deaf sidekick, Justin here, will be collecting your information.
Justin:
If I could sing a lick, I would. But I can't. And I hate myself everyday because of it.
Tommy:
I know. But if you think this is just some high school club where you can sing and dance your way through any social issue... Or confused sexuality, you have come to the wrong place. There is none of that here. That's high school. This shit is real life. Now, don't just bring it, sing it, and let's do this.
