One of the singers in the clue package voiceover was seen saying, “I think I speak for all of us that it’s really exciting to be here in the semi-finals. Because we love a little friendly competition, and it’s really nice to flex that creative muscle right now. It’s definitely a full-circle moment..” He added, “While we were rehearsing and filming, I felt like we were having flashbacks to the first time we performed together. I’m even having some of the same anxiety as before.” The singer remembered having the same nervousness when he was backstage for dinging ‘Uptown Girl.’ Another clue revealed was that the group once performed at the White House and bagged a “standing O.”
