the glee project: ellis becomes the 2nd contestant to be eliminated

ellis wylie, an 18 year old singer from grayslake, illinois; became the 2nd person who did not get a callback in the reality show, the glee project. this is the 2nd time that ellis was in the bottom three in as many weeks of the show. she was mainly voted off due to her negativity and her attitude.

in this episode, the focus is on the contestant's theatricality. this week's guest mentor is idina menzel, who plays shelby corcoran - the coach of vocal adrenaline and rachel berry's birth mother. their homework assignment is lady gaga's bad romance. and after their performance, shelby choose alex as the winner.

their video for this week is we're not gonna take it by the twisted sisters. the concept of this week's video is that the aspirants are the outcasts trying to fit in. setting is the school cafeteria and a rock concert.

here is this week's video:


after the performance, the week's bottom three was revealed. the bottom three (and the songs they performed during the last chance recital) were:

ellis - mack the knife
matheus - gives you hell
mckynleigh - piece of my heart

ellis was in the bottom three due to her negativity and has even caused some conflicts among the cast members. the mentors believe that she does not believe in herself too much. matheus forgot some of his words and got carried away at some parts of the song. he was also advised to embrace his smallness but always walk and act tall and confident. mckynleigh was definitely the best singer among the three but her lack of character and personality brought her to the bottom three.

but in the end, it was ellis' negative attitude that led to her elimination.

next week's focus is on vulnerability.
