Ellie made a little introduction as she begins her second song.

"Okay, I know you guys are waiting to have Lea up on stage.. But before I pass on the floor, let me just dedicate this song for her."

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains and thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth

Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead

Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing you said

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

The greatest fan of your life
The greatest fan of your life


(Song title: I'll be by Edwin McCain)

El was looking at Lea's direction all throughout the song's duration. She have fully dedicated the lyrics to her coach as the crowd fully relates on the admiration they also have for the Broadway star.

After the song, Ellie received a big round of applause from the audience as they appreciate the young woman's talent. The writer then gives an introduction to welcome her coach up on stage.

"Alright, I won't keep you guys waiting. Let's all welcome the pride of the Philippines; a two-time Disney princess, the first ever Filipino to get a Tony award - and recipient of a long list of award giving bodies.. My lovely coach, the legendary one and only, Ms. Lea Salonga!"
