Maybe that's why your music is so lackluster. And yes, I have heard your single. It helped when I was at the dentist, put me right to sleep."

"If you need to spend your time at a party to prove your own worth to yourself, you can't have much confidence in your abilities. Of course, if I had your looks and skill set, I'd need to get my confidence from strangers as well. But I will be out playing. Out playing you on every stage. Ever. And not just you. I can out perform anyone in this tepid little gathering."

She smirked and stepped closer, arms crossed, "So. If you want to ever be something in this world, you better work on... well... everything. And if your so-called friends are telling you any different, then I know that they're resorting to dirty tricks, setting you up for a fall. I cannot abide by such underhanded tactics. So clearly, I'll just have to ensure they know that they have no chance to beat me. They have no place in this industry if they can't beat people honestly, and one sing off with me will show them that."
