Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Because art is not fair.
I've made my decision. And I've consulted with the gods, plural.
Christmas is a season of togetherness. So why don't we all do the solo together?
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A school choir rehearses "O Holy Night" under their unflappable conductor Mr. David while Didi and Dana, the two girls who keep landing the solos, insist that anyone could earn one by simply giving it everything. Then Kayla arrives as a transfer student, makes awkward small talk with her new sisters-in-song and is asked to sing for the group. Her audition is a showstopper: Didi is instantly smitten and Dana sees a rival to be stopped, so they demand a do-over and try to drown her out with increasingly shameless ad-libs. Mr. David weighs the matter, rules that the solo belongs to Kayla, and Dana, quickly pivoting, proposes a holiday compromise in which everyone sings the solo together, sending the whole choir into a big, loud finale.
