So that Irene girl just came to plug her new single and not say shit for the next 20min

[@tyantikgaming7786]

fr tho

[@rafasoka]

Seeing Izzy leaving her competitive aside to make this girl feel more part of the game was amazing, absolutely love her

[@MsNekaa26]

Izzy deserves a card for this game. She killed it.

[@susannahsaurus]

“She did ballet, and he was a skate…board.” Period.

[@milzamnadar2120]

irene wong girlie doesn't even bother to try 😭 girlie just here to promote her song

[@JaenotDay6]

She’s just really shy like REALLY shy when I met her after she opened for JUNNY in NYC she was extremely shy

[@emmyg]

The dude that finished singing Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney is awesome not only because he knew all the lyrics but has a amazing voice. This video is so nostalgic for me listening to all these songs growing up.

[@IWantToPetYourDog]

Music back then was so much better.

[@gtrfan137kereere6]

Irene was only there to plug her song💀

[@xsaver23]

girl doesn't listen to other songs lol

[@tlotr1379]

Maybe she's just shy? Don't judge

[@laurahamilton4554]

@@xsaver23Because she hasn’t heard these songs? Lmao

[@samhill5006]

@@laurahamilton4554right? She could have easily have just not listened to American songs

[@karlcharron-talbot5629]

Mmm yeah it felt like she wasn't that interested in the game or other songs but that could be just because justin bieber as a child was in there 🤢. The songs were good don't get me wrong but I think it's easy to no have had heard them or not remember them especially if you didn't live in the u.s.a. Maybe her attitude felt like it was just about promoting cause she was shy or a little competitive and was losing so she looked uninterested. Or maybe she just doesn't give a faaack 😅

[@TheMaszMuche]

New girl's energy was so not matching the rest of the cast. Great win for Izzy, but she didn't have an opponent that would put up the fight.

[@julianisaak603]

"She did ballet, and he was a skateboard..." SHOULD have been the actual lyrics lmao

[@dakotataghon6984]

I we not gonna talk about Chris’s singing like wow man didn’t expect that was so good!

[@CuadradoDe3Lados]

I thought the same

[@gusi4474]

"She did ballet, he was a skateboard" is a vibe

[@sophielem59]

Jeremiah and Alex were so fun to watch! I love how close in score they were, and the way they finished that Maroon 5's song was amazing!

[@thatgirl9532]

Right? Jeremiah is a sweet guy!! And I’m loving how we get more of Alex I’d love to see more of Hughie 😅

[@Nintendofan91]

Chris has a really good voice!

[@matthewsmith6057]

The girls swooning when he sang the Jesse McCartney one

[@timisme8360]

And our girl Izzy comes out on top in yet another music challenge! Izzy, your music knowledge, even for classics and oldies, is truly IMPRESSIVE! Well done!

[@tonygoodwin08]

Classics and oldies??!!

[@timisme8360]

@tonygoodwin08 60s, 70s and 80s. Knowing music from waaay before she was even born.

[@fahminordin1821]

How can that singer girl don’t know a lot of songs? 😭

[@tonygoodwin08]

I don't know if Jamie is just getting more comfortable because she's been doing this a little while now, or if the hypnotism really helped her become more confident but I've definitely noticed a change since then

[@cierrapowell1765]

I’ve noticed it too!!!!

[@thatgirl9532]

Me too. Everyone seems like really good friends on this channel so having a family love and support you besides your own. It’s beautiful. Her confidence has just vastly grown!

[@thatgirl9532]

We need Chris, Izzy and Jaxon in an episode to know who knows more about music and for their singing 😂

[@jiushusband3198]

"She did ballet, and he was a skateboard." Poetry at its finest 😆

[@pkmduke8220]

"He was a skateboard.." 🤣🤣🤣

[@cosmikgirlx]

Izzy is always a delight to watch! Such a bubbly person

[@clementloh5098]

Irene.....Did she just pay to come here to promote her music? She doesn't seem know music at all

[@corymiller536]

That's exactly what I was thinking

[@Ravii697]

Exactly my thoughts, she literally just plugged her instagram and proceeded to not say shit for the rest of the video

[@juniorbabylon]

Irene was just existing lol

[@nicolekyoko5585]

Fr

[@zakomama6430]

@@nicolekyoko5585 i noticed it too. She was the only one who didnt get double digits in points but couldve (and shouldve) connected both the artist and the song when she knew one of two. Ultimately, I think she just didnt really want to be there and it clearly showed.

[@juniorbabylon]

@@zakomama6430 i couldn't tell if she didn't wanna be there or if she was just shy ... I know she's a musician, but idk how comfortable she is being on camera ... bringing in people from other realms is always a hit or miss

[@mangaanimefan3089]

5:11 Okay, Chris. That was smooth! 🎉

[@lovecraft5878]

Chris has a great singing voice!

[@MMINTELYT_MegamanIntellect]

Alex and Jeremiah absolutely NAILING "This Love" tho 👀

[@BasD]

I feel bad that Izzy didn't really have any competition.

[@btetschner]

I remember when "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne came out, love that song!

[@stupididiot21]

Chris singing Beautiful Soul by Jessie McCartney is so good.

[@TheFates222]

The Moment I found Chris super attractive and totally BF material

[@gervabep]

Izzy is my favorite and after she said.."my fav the black eyef peas", she just gave me more reasons to love her LOL they are my fav too

[@mishapsmakemagic]

I love that Izzy started singing Crushcrushcrush by Paramore

[@erinathanassiou617]

Chris! What a lovely voice you have

[@psyne0]

"She did ballet, he was a skate...board." 😂😂

[@mnrjaber]

“He was a skateboard” ????? 🤣🤣🤣

[@rachelespiritu4215]

Did anyone else hear ‘Crush’ and think Jennifer Paige first? I’m *that* old…

[@billie-J]

that's 90s.yep,it got me too 😊

[@hannahjohnson4475]

mandy moore "crush" song was very popular in early 00's too

[@rkoncenasupporter]

i thoyght that too

[@khanyi8512]

Me

[@ClaRizzAnne]

Chris singing beautiful soul perfectly just intensified my crush on him... damnit

[@Leratomogase]

I lowkey want to hear Chris sing more lol

[@leakim3861]

go girl! give us nothing -me to the singer girl 🤧

[@shorv]

she did ballet and he was a skateboard

[@nikomouse6583]

Izzy looking absolutely Gorgeous! And any time we get to see her in her element is a blessing.

[@vonneokafor8632]

Is it weird that I want Chris to sing Beautiful Soul to me all day?

[@roseability86]

"She did ballet and he was a skateboard" 😂

[@Jakejakejakejakejake]

They were all great to watch, but Jeremiah and Alex were so much fun on this!

[@karenr3567]

HE WAS A SKATEBOARD 😂😂😂

[@melanieannplans2666]

Okay seriously though, do Izzy and Chris have albums out because they totally should!

[@Delta_Link]

Wow never thought that Chris got some pipes. 😮

[@esequielvalverde]

Yes had me do a double take 😂😅😢

[@iagocampelo6808]

18:26 "She did ballet, and he was a skateboard" WTF 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I cracked myself out

[@poohbearny]

Man I didnt know Chris could sing like that OMG!!!

[@SpinX522]

Fun fact the song Bleeding Love was written by Jesse McCartney and Ryan Tedder(The singer from OneRepublic)

[@carrisonvaughn1671]

I'm not here to judge but the 1 musician knows zero history lol

[@CrymsonNite]

Beautiful soul by Jesse McCartney is one of my favorite songs ever

[@thatssojassy]

The way I was YELLING David’s name during the Crush part. 😂

[@DrHydro-pr5ox]

YAAAAAAS keep playing all my early to mid 2000's pop, rock, and pop-rock jams!

[@alex.is.lame.]

"She did ballet.. and he was a skateboard" 🤣 God, I love Izzy.

[@kyooconnor5634]

I always love to see Alex Lewberger in a video and I'm especially happy to see him win it for the Millennials. Thanks Alex!

[@XemnasXKingdomHearts]

The way it took me .000000000000001 seconds for Drops of Jupiter. One of my all time favorites.

[@TubbyBubbleLove42]

Same here, it is my favorite. My like for Chris went up a lot when he got the song so fast.

[@user84829]

Izzy giving the other girl a chance was nice knowing shes hella competitive 😂 good job wifey

[@ninjenn91]

Alex and Jeremiah were hands down my favorite pairing here. But as always, I absolutely love Izzy and Brian and Chris.

[@btetschner]

"Hot n Cold" by Katy Perry was the #1 hit in Canada on my 29th birthday.

[@jadamson1031]

I will take the extra credit for knowing that Jesse McCartney wrote "Bleeding Love". Thank you!

[@kaewalters7634]

This is one of the most fun I’ve seen 😄😄😄 I loved how they were all just having so much fun

[@sleepy_aesthetic]

So we are just gonna ignore how all of their voices are so good and talented?? Like HELLO???

[@piglet832]

when Jaime is in the video it's a must watch 😻💖

[@red.calgary]

6:10 Izzy sings "crushcrushcrush" by Paramore

[@timisme8360]

This was awesome! GREAT video! I knew most of these! Not enough to even compete, much less win but ...

[@THE_OUTCAST36]

The only one that didn't sing was the one who put out an album... how tf does that make sense 😂

[@ehh887]

Bleeding love is such a throwback for real !

[@user-mc8mx1gn4q]

And he was a skateboard KILLED ME

[@nielatmeplease2698]

5:05 D*mn Chris was Flexing fire!

[@timisme8360]

This video is starting out right! Jaime and Brian together again? I LOVE that pair! Oddly competitive and supportive at the same time! Izzy is always someone I look forward to seeing! I'm also hoping for some puns from Chris.

[@AInMyMind]

new girl was there just to promote her music but didn't know any song?

[@cyrusthelegend]

I'm super impressed with Izzy. Daaamn, she knows her music

[@alleyycatt22]

I kept saying David Archuleta repeatedly but no one heard🤣🤣 that was my ringtone when I was like 15 lol

[@gamertdrp6489]

She might not know a lot of songs but I went and listened to Irene’s songs and the ones I listed to were actually pretty good, she has a nice voice

[@michaelwou1667]

Yeah, with no passion for the industry.

[@mattbrock7031]

"And he was a skateboard" "Huh?"

[@ilavaloren5328]

That girl was literally just there 💀 thank u next

[@MizguidedGhost]

this video made me realize this era of music is my jam, I knew (and love) every single one except JB..... what a throwback lol

[@tonyb2523]

She did ballet and he was a skateboard! Lol

[@cometgirl217]

I’m really enjoying Alex in these videos lately! 😁

[@cometgirl217]

(But his lightning in this one is a bit harsh)

[@nicolekyoko5585]

Irene, you said you gonna be an artist. You gotta know where them good music came from first tsk.

[@irenewongofficial]

not my type of music

[@AK-ie2rp]

@@irenewongofficial just curious, what is your type of music then?

[@shubhamgurung2449]

​@@AK-ie2rpnot good music for sure!!!

[@hilmathomas3308]

​@@irenewongofficial you should delete this comment....

[@MsAZYou]

@@irenewongofficial just an advice, atleast have a knowledge about music from different generations and all genres. Don't be stuck in your type of music. You're trying to penetrate the music scene but you dont know any song and artist from this episode.

[@catarinamartins894]

It's been a while since I've listened to Crush and man, I still love it like the first time!!!!! Such a good song!!!

[@user-sj4mt3dj9d]

Izzy is stunning

[@ProPhile]

WOW! Izzy going for the all time high score! 🤯 I love how confident Brian is and how he’s shocked when he’s told he’s wrong! 😂🤪

[@Lookn4Gsus]

I’m fairly convinced that the new girl is AI. 🤔🤖

[@khadijahdaley7357]

I was trying to remember Irene's name for the longest time after watching her on tiktok few years back........Happy to see you again

[@ronniflores2973]

Jeremiah’s fanboying was too good 😂😂

[@rosegleek4330]

Should have played drops of jupiter for her so she could have heard how close she was to the song when she was making up a melody to the lyrics

[@hollyholfeld]

Drops of Juipiter is my all time fave song hahaha. Got that one right away! I loved this one, like the only one of these challenges I actually would have a chance at.

[@NinaaCald]

Fun fact Jesse McCartney wrote and sang the demo for Bleeding Love. It blew up when Leona Lewis sang it. Jesse McCartney's original is so good too.

[@sevirus1704]

5:07-5:20, i'm in love now

[@thetattedpharmacist3215]

Izzy is an absolute QUEEN! Her music knowledge is fire, she’s funny, she’s gorgeous. Enough said 🤷‍♂️

[@qdiva88]

Yoo Chris deserves like 3 points. He didn’t just finish the lyric. He finished the whole verse

[@HeathersHobbyHop]

I was so mad that no one else knew it….I STILL listen to that song all the time

[@tonialston1968]

I love "Drops of Jupiter" soo beautiful! Sometimes my karaoke song lol

[@timisme8360]

6:25 THERE'S the supportive part! Way to go Brian! Giving the point to Jaime, even tho you hit the button!

[@lesliedaubert1411]

The first time I heard Justin Beiber on the radio I thought it was a girl singing.

[@pyrokatarina]

Ong same

[@timisme8360]

3:04 See? Competitive! Even at the expense of the equipment! Lol Jaime is so adorable when she KNOWS she knows!

[@NoDoubtItsKenz]

This is my favorite episode of all time!! Anything 2000s related is a win for me

[@joshsanity3]

Izzy's voice is so freakin beautiful!!! 😍

[@lianharold823]

Proud with Izzy.. overall winner!

[@dreamerlu6898]

OH MY GOD, THE GUY WITH THE GLASSES SINGS SO BEAUTIFULL, INSANE
