"THAT'S SHOW BUSINESS, LADIES" ALDC Is Professionally Dramatic (Flashback Compilation) | Lifetime

what you just said was foul a b-bow

let's show business ladies why didn't

you tell us you were going somewhere

because I just wanted to go Holly's

right Jojo is staying and doing this

music video

I'm calling cops Jill you're going to

regret this

this is exciting because this is what la

should be like working on a set of a

music video but of course Abby is

throwing a wrench into it there has to

be a deal in place that has a contract

they wouldn't be in that room with me

Mackenzie has a lead role singing in

this video now Melissa her mother went

ahead and signed a contract and that

contract was for her to appear in the

video not to sing if she's singing she

should be billed as a featured artist my

kids are being pulled and make me a

tears - why

since when we've been talking about this

for a week why now Nia Cohen has an

opportunity made a splash in LA and I

have not let me Abby take this one away

what has changed for our girls who are

the dancers nothing has changed for the

dancers well I guess we'll see who

trusts me as their manager and who

doesn't as a person who said on your

honor I'm going to do this job how do

you back out of the job now which

teaching them to be professionals

Holly's right Jojo is saying and doing

this music video that's a small world

and you don't want to be at an audition

some day and have the choreographer go

oh don't use her her mom pulled her out

when I was halfway through a project one

day like come on Abby

I tried several times to get McKenzie

back on and Abby wasn't having it she

wasn't changing her mind this is Abby's

decision not mine I know Abby is gonna

be really upset if I do this video but I

really want to do it I'm gonna do it

anyways obviously I didn't start off LA

trip on a high note with Abby the things

not gonna end on a high note

Abby doesn't forget anything I'm really

nervous going into our last rehearsal

for the Astra Awards Abby hasn't seen

the piece yet and I don't know if this

is what she's looking for

not a stroll right through

[Music]

you think judges late like three times

or no yeah she was told that twice

yesterday already okay you're late not

eat your corrections when you're on this

piece up here you really need to look

backwards over your shoulder and take

the crowd with you to the switch all

right

[Music]

Maddie don't be sad she's fine but she's

not oh yeah

she told me she doesn't want to talk

about it our turn wasn't perfect so if

she was upset

so it's her stuff she's upset with

herself with stardom with fame with

recognizability comes responsibility and

pressure and made perfect all the time

Hey this dance is so painful I'm mr.

song

I don't think that dance really

showcases any of you the choreography

you guys will learn today and did was a

commercial is that something we could

put on stage Eric can you a quick

question we're in a little bit of a

situation here with our group dance

tomorrow is there any way we could use

that tomorrow you guys need to clear

that with her and I would be okay with

them using what they've already learned

with me hello how are you how's it going

you would be really proud the girls look

amazing do you want to get out of their

way and let them finish we have a

proposition for you so here is the

problem with tomorrow

the girls are not happy with the

choreography that they're doing we

talked to Eric and we love this

choreography he has to get the okay from

you as long as you're okay with it

that's the plan he's happy to do it

perfect yay okay do whatever you want

how dare you I've had it with all these

women I really went out of my way to get

the girls in the commercial and this is

how they show their gratitude Joanne

you're going to regret this

I'm just wondering if they sat back and

watched what our kids have put together

yesterday and learn pieces of it without

having to learn the whole thing no they

are certainly able to learn

what's happening with this number so

they're just doing it I can't change who

they had to come out to meet Iraqi

change this Abby needs to approve the

boys dancing and she won't that's not

true

he just said it sir didn't I tell you to

let them dance no you did not yes I did

I went right back there and I said it's

all fine if we're playing by the rules

which I explained to you in the bath if

you tell me that it's okay to let those

dance I said a hundred times they could

[Applause]

[Music]

no dude have you ever learned to dance

on one day and actually I competed in

performed it actually no he's a one-man

Queen like two hours yeah knowing that a

bee isn't as invested as she should be

anymore

she's like I'm not playing these games

anymore where you just want us here

because we're gonna help you but you're

not gonna help us back I set up a

meeting for Chloe with one of the best

acting coaches in LA Howard fine if your

goal is really to be an actress you have

to have this open heart so we're gonna

explore a little bit emotional Rico can

you remember the saddest day of your

life what that would be I think when my

great-grandfather died cuz I had a very

good relationship with him do you

remember that day mm-hmm

tell me about I don't know my mom my

mind was kind of just blank there

I'm having a hard time getting me

emotional and I'm having a hard time

expressing myself too so as an actress

this is what it's all about

contacting real sources he really made

her look inside herself and it became

very introspective and I don't think

that's what Chloe envisioned an acting

class to be like do you consider

yourself the number one dancer in the

company there is another girl that's

pretty good her name is Maddie I think

we're maybe better ones in the group

good what stops you from going for

number one nothing what's that

nothing nothing stops you from going for

number one

I have a feeling you stop yourself and

it could because you're sensitive

sensitive little girl that you think

about how the others might be hurt does

that make sense okay you have to

understand that your success doesn't

hurt anybody else mr. fine said when I

walk in there pretend like I already

have three lead character and be really

confident so Chloe I want you not to be

afraid to be strong you have to stop

beating yourself up and doubting

yourself

Chloe has really been struggling with

her confidence lately and personally I

think it has a lot to do with Abby

constantly yelling at her and berating

her I think if she could get comfortable

in her own skin she could totally pull

this off I think Kendall really wants to

compete with my music video but I don't

want that to happen

because we're both different and I'm

happy for her anyway

[Music]

all right so I want to explain a little

bit about the video Qi

it's in an airplane hangar and we're

using like the real military all right

but now listen you are in charge we're

gonna make you look like the song we're

gonna costume like the star and you're

gonna dance like the star you need to be

on your A game Holly and Nia and the

little kind of backstabbing for her to

do our own project on our own it's kind

of like I'm out for vengeance I'm out to

compete on how to be better than that

yes and Kendall I want this to be

success so you have to make it amazing

I don't know I feel a little bit

overshadowed with Nia's music and and

her video and it's almost unfortunate

that they're both happening at the same

time because feel like yes video could

overshadow you we never talked about it

like Abby never mentioned that she never

promotes it I am NOT interested in

competing with Kindle and how many's a

career because Abby orchestrating all of

this drama Abby is trying to create some

division you don't want that one

remember whose side you're on

I think that's a lot that's a play here

I am swapping Asia and Mackenzie out in

and out in and out because I want to see

who's going to actually perform all

right Mackenzie would happen I give you

the opportunity to practice it I want to

use Asia and now you do a cartwheel you

stop then you move forward and do a back

handspring what was going on

thought you were gonna fall off the

stage I really want Mackenzie to do it

because she was part of the original

award-winning number but melissa has to

learn that she doesn't get her cake and

eat it too and Asia is just raring to go

bigger page when it gets hit hey you're

doing this it the wheels there jump jump

[Music]

bigger sharper i'm embarrassed as a

teacher i'm sitting over here and it's

like i'm humiliated

i mean come on this is the view all

right let's go guys

asia is fine but she did practice it but

you keep going back and forth with Abby

about getting Kenzie and the dance and I

said I'm packing up for Mike but I'm

sticking up for mine - because she's are

you sure enough to understand but also

it keeps being an issue int in her face

and then you have Jill chiming in and

everyone chiming in that is what's not

fair she doesn't know and neither do I

wish that you would stop going okay Abby

is why because it's like this whole big

charade about this foot all I keep

hearing is about this foot and I'm like

okay I'm not let Abby pick and be done

with it let it die I think the point is

is that Melissa is the one who made such

a big deal about the foot and she

couldn't do it if it was competing

against Asia in a competition now that

it's for the view all of a sudden

Mackenzie's miraculously back area great

I went to Mackenzie to dance last week

Christy okay who's gonna be in the dance

I'm not sure yet if Asia or Mackenzie

are doing the dance

Mackenzie already got to do it and she's

been hurt and it's you know I'm kind of

getting that she was hurt cuz she didn't

want to go up against Asia so I needed

out I need to get into hair and makeup

that's show business ladies OH

Aubrey O'Day on set with Mia killing any

music vid ever released on Dance Moms

the real Abby Lee hashtag team Nia it

wasn't a contest until Holly just made

it one so you had a great day yesterday

it was a magnificent day that's an

absolutely magnificent start to finish

did you see the one post that Aubree

posted where literally she's taken aback

by all that yes study however every guy

he'll any other ALDC videos joke like

you weren't taking responsibility for

Abby I'm not taking responsibility for

Abby okay good

as long as you agree that you threw it

in our faces I've celebrated every

chowder has had anything amazing I've

always been there every calibrated how

that's one day and a moment that summer

my underwear in the heõs were a little

much for me personally you know what

it's not it's nothing more than someone

dancing nude body suits I'm nude we know

so we're comparing that to chandelier

dolly please now we're Crona eyes I was

here for everyone else's child and her

hair but you know people get wonderful

things I get had one dad let's face it

you win Holly magician your people

turned it into a studio you okay I don't

know what the hell Abby's doing right

now another one's not drinking I thought

this was a bar I said the kids were

dancing in a bar Oh tacky what about

like the Hard Rock Cafe or somewhere

okay we gotta get here no she's not

Kalani just texted me and Abby's here

amazing great

they wouldn't change a thing about her

people I'm not changing a thing thank

you guys so much for coming I just

wanted to announce I have a very special

guest that I wanted to bring on stage to

do one of her own songs this is me as

super aja

that's what being my me up on stage

singing she's never done a ballad before

and I'm in a ballad you hear everything

[Music]

I'm just so so proud of her she looked

like she was born to perform I'm just

amazed so I want to bring to the stage

another two special guests I like to

welcome back this newest sue Frasier I

can't believe this is happening this is

her opportunity to prove her wrong

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

I cannot believe Abby didn't

congratulate Nia and Kendall for their

performance that I am NOT gonna stand by

and what happened and cry let's save

ourselves and let's be nice and positive

here was the moment for Abby to say

something redeeming something that maybe

could change where we go from here and

she couldn't bring herself to take the

high road I've been in contact with an

agency since last summer so I thought

I'd take my children to a general

meeting to MSA how long have you been

dancing honey for seven years for seven

years okay great well I think you guys

would be really fantastic Maddie and

Kenzie both shined at the interview I

feel and Jen and the girls really made a

connection so I'm hoping for the best

so yesterday I got a phone call we had a

general meeting with MSA it was pretty

cool

like they really liked Mackenzie Melissa

hates to be one up as soon as Kelly said

she was doing anything for her kids

Melissa's like well I already did

something for mine I took him to an

agent why didn't you tell us you were

going somewhere because I just wanted to

go how'd you like to do stuff without

telling us yet why was it such a big

secret they called me yesterday and

asked if they could see me but you still

could have told us like that's what we

get mad about Melissa hey I just think

that these kinds of things are the

things that make Maddie feel bad Maddie

wants to be part of our group I know she

does

but you and Abby don't let her so tell

me where you went to a guy okay I know

jack I know who does anybody know I'm

John Barban the casting director I'm

gonna bring you into the room for a bit

this is a huge opportunity for the girls

to network this meeting is with people

in the industry call a general it's how

new actors pitch themselves to agencies

to get on there must hire lists for the

future

this is Nia hi Mia I'm Lisa you have any

questions before we get started or you

would like to just jump right into it

great I'm standing right out there on

that pink mark hey there oh I'm sorry

I'm on your way know what I uh I just

want to say that I am really impressed

with your presentation biology today

really wow thanks like Ben would ever

have a crush on you

why would you how could you I never did

anything to you how could I be so stupid

just just get away from me okay she did

not take she she took the character in a

different direction which was her mother

sometimes it's better to go off the

script you know and sometimes it's those

choices they actually get the job the

person who does it the way everyone else

does not do it did Abby really just go

there what you just said was foul Abby

Wow what you taking away our opportunity

look if that makes you feel good so be

it

trying to protect your child and make

her not look like the complete four how

many I know I don't think she looks like

a complete fool I really don't well if I

the only person who I get it okay

and we're all acting like this is normal

I mean when I was when it wants to act

like that's normal behavior so be it

thanks Abbie this was a really great

opportunity for the hitch

that was mean-spirited what she said you

gave her an opportunity you took it away

she's the only girl on this team that

you ever take something away from the

only wife and let it not go unnoticed

that I'd never see it that's kind of a

bold-faced lie

no because when there are dances who

pulls the dance what does it do what you

saw before Nia

so you had nothing to say to me about

what you said I've done nothing

No and here and lie about what she says

I refuse to be in a room with this woman

who's lying good my integrity is worth

more us shut up

Nancy what I'm not leaving the team so

that's what she wants and I'm not too

new Kelly and Nia it's not Brooke Paige

of Chloe okay so you get your act

together

I need stop telling lies you are a liar

an absolute liar you sit there all of

you woman's the end here in two hours

I'm sick and tired of it I'm sick and I

cannot take this anymore

we are shooting Mackenzie's music video

at Melissa's house how are you where

have you guys been were you in the other

room

are we upstairs well these mom's they're

members of the Abby Lee dance company

I don't like Christy with a why she's so

freaking annoying she wants to be a part

of this team more kids are just as good

as your children it's not start with

that yeah but Sarah beat Mackenzie at

the junior level I am appalled why are

these mothers behaving like a bunch of

teenagers the video has gone too

smoothly to let a bunch of a great moms

mess it up yes I do not get you Abby we

need you more

[Music]

I need your eyes checked in yes damn she

does not know when to shut up my job

better than yours I don't care it makes

me so crazy honestly I have never seen

Melissa act like this before it's clear

that these other moms are definitely

getting under Melissa's skin and our

team is beginning to crack this is my

daughter get your shoes mallamma

I'm calling cops calling cops on her you

know me Melissa I'm not trying to

you

you
