Well. It was now or never, right? Someone had to start the auditions, and it might as well be her. It might get her some extra points or something, for being willing to go first. She'd had idea a couple days before, to combine I Feel Pretty from West Side Story with TLC's Unpretty. She wasn't certain if it would get her the part, but at least it contained a bit of the song from West Side Story, right? And she might get noticed for being original, or something.

So, taking a deep breath, Mercedes stepped onto the stage. Biting her lower lip, she peered out at the Glee members sitting in the audience, along with Mr. Schuester. "Hello." ...that worked as a starting point, right? "I'm Mercedes Jones, and I'm singing a version of I Feel Pretty. ....I want to audition for Maria, please." She still had no idea if this was a good idea, but it would put an edge on the auditions at least. Right?

Taking in another deep breath, she started with her song.

I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who’s inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today

My outsides are cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I’m through
It’s because of you
I’ve tried different ways
But it’s all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I’m just trippin’

You can buy your hair if it won’t grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that mac can make
But if you can’t look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright

Never insecure until I met you
Now I’m being stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I’ll get back to me (hey)

My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I’m through
It’s because of you
I’ve tried different ways
But it’s all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
Keep on trippin’

You can buy your hair if it won’t grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that mac can make
But if you can’t look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
And I pity
Any girl who isn’t me tonight

Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh

I feel pretty (You can buy your hair if it won’t grow)
Oh so pretty (You can fix your nose if he says so)
I feel pretty and witty and bright (You can buy all the make-up that mac can make)
But if you can’t look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

I feel pretty
But unpretty

Once done, she merely nodded, and headed back toward the seat she had been sitting in originally.
