V & V - Rageous Road to Fame

Solo Show Realness

Tens of voices scream for us, filling my ears with excited cheers and laughter.

Velv and I are given our mics and in ears', listening to instructions and a preview of our backing track. Our first song is "When I Grow Up." Velv thought it'd be cute to start with.

We have three songs, a break, then three more songs. Even though I'm nervous, I can't help but feel some excitement.

We're doing songs we like; it should go over well. The lights dim and flash around the stage, our fans getting even more excited as the show is about to start.

Beats of the song start to play, Velv giving me one last look before turning to the stage. I take a deep breath, getting into my starting pose.

The stage opens up, letting the fans see us. Their screams and cheers bring a smile to my face as the song plays. A spotlight falls on Velv as she starts the song.

Velv: "BOYS CALL YOU SEXY, AND YOU DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY
SEE EVERY TIME YOU TURN AROUND, THEY SCREAMIN' YOUR NAME"

A second spotlight falls on me, illuminating my gold clothes.

Ven: "BOYS CALL YOU SEXY, AND YOU DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY
SEE EVERY TIME YOU TURN AROUND, THEY SCREAMIN' YOUR NAME"

Velv and I switch spots, facing the crowd on either side of the stage.

Velv: "NOW I'VE GOT A CONFESSION
WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I WANTED ATTENTION
AND I PROMISED MYSELF THAT I'D DO ANYTHING
ANYTHING AT ALL FOR THEM TO NOTICE ME"

Ven: "BUT I AIN'T COMPLAINING
WE ALL WANNA BE FAMOUS
SO GO AHEAD AND SAY WHAT YOU WANNA SAY"

Velv: "YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE NAMELESS
WANT THEM TO KNOW WHAT YOUR NAME IS
'CAUSE SEE, WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER, WE WOULD SAY"

We stomp to the front of the stage, jumping in time with the beat.

Velv: "WHEN I GROW UP
I WANNA BE FAMOUS, I WANNA BE A STAR, I WANNA BE IN MOVIES"

Ven: "WHEN I GROW UP, I WANNA SEE THE WORLD, DRIVE NICE CARS, I WANNA HAVE GROUPIES"

The crowd cheers at my groupie lyric, going wild for the beat drop.

Ven: "WHEN I GROW UP
BE ON TV, PEOPLE KNOW ME, BE ON MAGAZINES"

Velv: "WHEN I GROW UP
FRESH AND CLEAN, NUMBER ONE CHICK WHEN I STEP OUT ON THE SCENE"

Ven: "BUT BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR CAUSE YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT
YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT
YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT"

As she sings, I spy the trio in the crowd, dancing and moving their way to the front. We continue the song, falling to a low lunge for more drama. We dance hard, bopping along to the chorus. A spotlight flashes on us as we get to the best part of the song, Velv and I sliding slowly into a middle split as we sing.

Velv: "I SEE THEM STARING AT ME, OOH I'M A TRENDSETTER"

Ven: "YES, THIS IS TRUE CAUSE WHAT I DO, NO ONE CAN DO IT BETTER"

Velv: "YOU COULD TALK ABOUT US, CAUSE WE'RE A HOT TOPIC"

Ven: "WE SEE YOU WATCHING US
WATCHING US
AND WE KNOW YOU WANT IT
YEAH!"

We jump up, running around the edge of the stage. We jump and stomp, trying to hype the crowd up with us.

We finish the song, the crowd cheering and whistling.
