In It's A SpongeBob Christmas!, Plankton turns everybody in Bikini Bottom from nice to naughty by feeding them his special jerktonium-laced fruitcake all in an effort to get his Christmas wish--the Krabby Patty formula. The Nickelodeon premiere will include bonus scenes featuring a stop-motion version of the character "Patchy," also voiced by Tom Kenny.

Work began on the It's A SpongeBob Christmas! special in October 2011 at Screen Novelties production studio, where the artists worked closely with Paul Tibbitt (Executive Producer), Steve Hillenburg (Creator) and Vincent Waller (Creative Director) to insure the two-dimensional cartoon characters were properly translated into three-dimensional puppets. Six sets were going at one time where 60lbs of baking soda was used as snow, 42lbs of glitter added sparkle, 22lbs of wood chips created Sandy's tree house floor and 20 boxes of breakfast cereal covered the coral rocks.

Created by Nickelodeon Home Entertainment, and distributed by Paramount Home Media Distribution, SpongeBob SquarePants: It's a SpongeBob Christmas! DVD will be available on Nov. 6 for the suggested retail price of $14.99. The DVD features exclusive content including behind-the-scenes making of the special and interviews with the cast and crew; a pre-color animatic and yule log.

SpongeBob SquarePants: It's a SpongeBob Christmas! iTunes Extras edition features over 30 minutes of exclusive behind the scenes footage, a sing along version of "Don't Be a Jerk (It's Christmas)," a 360 degree SPIN-Tacular Character viewer plus more and is currently available for pre-order on iTunes. The special was released Oct. 30(th) on iTunes, Xbox Video, Amazon Instant Video, PlayStation Network and Vudu.

Nickelodeon will also release the It's A SpongeBob Christmas!Album, available for digital download from online music retailers including Amazon and iTunes. Featuring 11 all new songs and the timeless Bikini Bottom classic, "Don't Be a Jerk (It's Christmas)," the album will be available Nov. 6 and retail for $9.99.

Rounding out the holiday cheer, Nickelodeon will release the Don't Be a Jerk -- It's Christmas ebook on Nov. 15, with a limited quantity of special edition hard copies available for sale exclusively on www.NickShop.com. Additionally, a limited-edition SpongeBob stop-motion holiday-themed t-shirt will be available for purchase in 900 The Children's Place stores across the country Nov. 26 - Dec. 3.

SpongeBob SquarePants is executive produced by creator Stephen Hillenburg, who previously worked as a writer, director and creative director on Nickelodeon's animated series Rocko's Modern Life. Hillenburg graduated from the California Institute of the Arts with a master's degree in experimental animation and studied marine biology and art as an undergraduate.

Paul Tibbitt served as a director and writer on SpongeBob SquarePants for its first three seasons and is currently executive producer. He wrote some of the show's most memorable episodes such as "Ripped Pants" and "Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy." Tibbitt was one of the co-writers and storyboard artists on The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

Americans Travel To Equatorial Guinea And Feature Country In Travel Series "Passport Life"

Americans Travel To Equatorial Guinea And Feature Country In Travel Series "Passport Life"

Creative youth collective explores modern Malabo

MALABO, Equatorial Guinea, Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Bryan Blue, part of the American youth delegation during the Leon H. Sullivan Summit, which took place in Equatorial Guinea last August, has shared his view of the country through a video series named Passport Life.

Blue shows viewers scenes of Equatorial Guinea, where he discovered American-style conveniences and quality meals, traditional music and dancers, and Malabo's state-of-the-art airport, as well as the good weather of Equatorial Guinea. The creative team behind "Wage War," new lifestyle brand that aims to 'fight against the mediocre and the conformists' and believes in finding one's own truth by means of travel, was recently in Equatorial Guinea to film the first episode of their series, "Passport Life", which was published on YouTube on October 18.

Equatorial Guinea visitors have been able to see the country with their own eyes and reach their own conclusions. The country is developing at a fast pace and it has provided the African diaspora with an opportunity to strengthen partnership with the international community.

Equatorial Guinea has assumed an increasingly active role in international affairs in the past year. It hosted the Africa Cup of Nationssoccer tournament, the tournament's 16-nation draw in the nation's modern conference center, Sipopo. Sipopo has also hosted events associated with the African-South American Summit. It was the host of the African-South America Forum, at which ministers of foreign affairs from 65 countries came together, and it will host the summit at a later date this year. In June and July, Equatorial Guinea hosted the African Union Summit, also in Sipopo.

About Equatorial Guinea

The Republic of Equatorial Guinea (República de Guinea Ecuatorial) is the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa, and one of the smallest nations on the continent. In the late-1990s, American companies helped discover the country's oil and natural gas resources, which only within the last five years began contributing to the global energy supply. Equatorial Guinea is now working to serve as a pillar of stability and security in its region of West Central Africa. The country hosted the 2011 Summit of the African Union.

MIAMI, Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- America TeVe WFUN achieved significant Nielsen Hispanic Book to Book rating increases in most key demographics and day parts, while top competitors such as Univision WLTV, Telemundo WSCV and Telefutura WAMI registered decreases.

Boosting America TeVe's ratings in Adults 18-49 was "Minuto de Fama", the premier local talent competition show (airing M-F at 6:30PM) registering a dramatic 200% share growth increase in Adults 18-49.

For the month of October, America TeVe achieved a 14% increase within the key Adults 25-54 demographic (M-F 5PM-11PM) against major competitors, which experienced significant decreases (Telefutura 69 down 25%, Telemundo 51 down 14% and Univision 23 down 11%). America TeVe's growth in Adults 25-54 was led by the early 5PM M-F newscast "AN5", one hour earlier than the rest, which grew 33%.

America TeVe's tradition of journalistic excellence and live coverage of all four debates made a big impact in the so-called "super-voters" demographic of Adults 35+. "A Mano Limpia", airing M-F at 8:00 p.m., grew in this demographic by offering viewers an in-depth look at international and local news without censorship.

"Once again America TeVe's diverse programming allows us to grow and retain our audience in this hyper-competitive marketplace," said Omar Romay, President of America TeVe.

Josh McDowell and NASCAR Team Partner to Promote Inspiring, True Movie 'UNDAUNTED'

Josh McDowell and NASCAR Team Partner to Promote Inspiring, True Movie 'UNDAUNTED'

DALLAS, Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Supporters are literally racing to help promote the inspiring faith film UNDAUNTED: THE EARLY LIFE OF JOSH McDOWELL, which launched on DVD this month. NASCAR team MacDonald Motorsports; author and film producer Jeff Elliott; and film distributor EchoLight Studios team with Josh McDowell Ministry to highlight the film at Saturday's O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge at the Texas Motor Speedway with on-car promotion, DVD giveaways and special appearances by McDowell with drivers and race fans.

"The opportunity to reach NASCAR's vast audience with UNDAUNTED's message of hope and the power of forgiveness is truly awesome," said McDowell, a world-renown Christian apologist, author and humanitarian. "I know this story of finding faith and God's love through the most challenging circumstances will resonate and spread word of the film to many who need to hear about it."

UNDAUNTED: THE EARLY LIFE OF JOSH McDOWELL is an award-winning, "pull no punches" docudrama. A dysfunctional family life, an alcoholic and violent father, and a sexually abusive worker on the family farm contributed to deep scars in McDowell's life, causing him to deny God's existence. UNDAUNTED unfolds the dramatic spiritual transformation that occurs when Josh faces his past head-on and puts everything in God's hands. Produced by Moonlit Pictures, UNDAUNTED is distributed by EchoLight Studios.

The NASCAR opportunity for UNDAUNTED weaves a fascinating story in itself. Many members of the MacDonald Motorsports team have long supported Motor Racing Outreach (MRO), which offers chapel services for NASCAR drivers and teams. Inspired by the UNDAUNTED story, MacDonald Motorsports truly stepped up by making the car available through a sponsorship package to gain awareness for the film, and Josh's story of God's love.

Enter Jeff Elliott, a retired Illinois firefighter telling an overcoming faith story of his own. Elliott wrote a book and has now connected to SOUL SURFER producer Dutch Hoffstetter to make HOOVEY, a film about his son miraculously recovering from brain tumor surgery and eventually achieving his dream to play college basketball. Working with EchoLight Studios, which has green lit HOOVEY based on the true story, Elliott learned of UNDAUNTED and the NASCAR opportunity. He immediately felt compelled to help underwrite the cost of the sponsorship.

"A story like Josh's--of faith winning out over adversity--just touched my heart because in my family we needed that same faith as our son faced brain surgery," Elliott said. "I'm proud to be a part of bringing Josh and UNDAUNTED to 'NASCAR nation.'"

With the sponsorship, McDowell gains a rare opportunity to encourage NASCAR teams at the Motor Racing Outreach services this Saturday before the O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge, part of NASCAR's Nationwide Series. And in addition to other exposure, McDowell will also lead Sunday's MRO services before NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series AAA Texas 500, and be on hand for the race, meeting drivers, teams and fans and encouraging them with his story.

"Being able to take advantage of this NASCAR opportunity--people coming together to inspire and uplift--is exactly the kind of story EchoLight Studios was created to share," EchoLight Chief Global Strategist Christopher Morrow said. "What a privilege it is to partner in bringing the vital message of UNDAUNTED to NASCAR's millions of fans."

UNDAUNTED is available now through such leading online and retail providers as ChristianCinema.com, Amazon.com, CBD, Family Christian Stores and Walmart among many others.

He has spoken to more than 25 million people, through 26,000 talks, in 125 countries. Josh has written or co-written more than 138 books including New Evidence That Demands a Verdict, named by Christianity Today as among the most influential Christian books of the past 60 years.

Drafthouse Films To Unleash Breakout Documentary 'The Act Of Killing'

Drafthouse Films To Unleash Breakout Documentary 'The Act Of Killing'

Acclaimed & Uncompromising Werner Herzog and Errol Morris Exec-Produced Doc Will Open Theatrically in 2013



LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Drafthouse Films, the film distribution arm of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, announced today the acquisition of US rights to The Act Of Killing, the breakout Danish documentary that shook audiences at this year's Toronto and Telluride International Film Festivals. Directed by Joshua Oppenheimer, the film ventures deep into the minds of former Indonesian death squad leaders who are challenged to reenact their real-life mass-killings in whichever cinematic genres they wish, including classic Hollywood crime scenarios and lavish musical numbers. A 30-market theatrical release and awards campaign for Best Documentary Feature is planned for The Act Of Killing in 2013.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101007/DA78674LOGO)

Chronicling one of the most overlooked genocides in recent history, The Act Of Killing utilizes dramatization to illustrate the banal state of corruption and impunity the unrepentant, locally celebrated former executioners inhabit. The film earned early praise from master documentarians Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, Into The Abyss)and Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line, The Fog Of War), whose enthusiasm for the film lead to their role as Executive Producers. "I have not seen a film as powerful, surreal, and frightening in at least a decade," says Herzog, "it is unprecedented in the history of cinema." Morris adds, "like all great documentaries, The Act of Killing demands another way of looking at reality...an amazing and impressive film."

The film has been championed by critics for its innovative and uncompromising approach including Steven Zeitchik of The Los Angeles Times who wrote, "The Act Of Killing could well change how you view the documentary form," and Tom Charity for CNN who agrees, saying the film is a "radical development in the documentary form and as an explosive journalistic expose."

"The Act Of Killing is a landmark acquisition for us. No other film at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival made a comparable residual impression," says Drafthouse Films CEO Tim League, "it is an honor to work with Joshua Oppenheimer and his team to introduce such an important, groundbreaking film to audiences around the country."

"The Act of Killing is a film that inspires powerful reactions in many viewers, but among the most powerful have come from the team at Drafthouse. I am therefore extremely happy to have such passion fuelling the film's U.S. release. And because The Act of Killing is an indictment of impunity everywhere, not least in the United States, our American theatrical release is particularly meaningful -- and it couldn't possibly be in better or more caring hands."

The Act of Killing was produced by Signe Byrge Sørensen for one of Denmark's leading

documentary production companies, Final Cut for Real. "Throughout the production of The Act of Killing it has been our ambition that this film should reach a theatrical audience. We are therefore extremely thrilled to collaborate with Drafthouse on the US release of the film. Drafthouse came highly recommended by other Scandinavian producers and directors and we look forward to working together on getting The Act Of Killing to the American public."

The deal was negotiated by Tim League, James Emanuel Shapiro and Evan Husney on behalf of Drafthouse Films and Philippa Kowarsky of Cinephil on behalf of the film's producers.

The Act Of Killing is available for festival and museum bookings now until August, 2013. Please contact emily.williams@drafthouse.com. For theatrical bookings contact Sumyi Khong Antonson, VP of Marketing and Distribution at sumyi.antonson@drafthouse.com.

AboutThe Act Of Killing
In a country where killers are celebrated as heroes, the filmmakers challenge unrepentant death squad leaders to dramatize their role in genocide. The hallucinatory result is a cinematic fever dream, an unsettling journey deep into the imaginations of mass-murderers and the shockingly banal regime of corruption and impunity they inhabit.

About Joshua Oppenheimer, Director
Born 1974, Texas, USA. Joshua Oppenheimer has worked for over a decade with militias, death squads and their victims to explore the relationship between political violence and the public imagination. Educated at Harvard and Central St Martins, London, his award-winning films include The Globalization Tapes (2003, co-directed with Christine Cynn), The Entire History Of The Louisana Purchase (1998, Gold Hugo, Chicago Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival), These Places We've Learned To Call Home (1996, Gold Spire, San Francisco Film Festival) and numerous shorts. Oppenheimer is Senior Researcher on the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council's Genocide and Genre project and has published widely on these themes. Oppenheimer is currently based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

About Signe Byrge Sørensen, Producer
Born 1970, Copenhagen, Denmark, Signe Byrge Sørensen has been a producer for 14 years. She founded Final Cut for Real ApS in 2009. She has produced documentaries in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Senegal, Thailand and Argentina, besides Denmark and Sweden.

Besides this she has produced for example Football is God, directed by Ole Bendtzen, The Kid and the Clown, directed by Ida Grøn and The Human Scale, directed by Andreas Dalsgaard. Signe holds an MA in International Development Studies and Communication Studies from Roskilde University, Denmark, 1998 and is a EURODOC graduate from 2003 and an EAVE graduate from 2010.

About Christine Cynn, Co-Director

Educated at Harvard, and the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship to Uganda, she co-directed The Globalization Tapes (2003) with Joshua Oppenheimer. She has written screenplays for FilmFour and was a founding member of the Vision Machine Film Project in London. She was a researcher on the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council's Genocide and Genre project. Cynn is currently developing a project, Science Future, combining documentary with fiction, about how scientists imagine the future.

About 'Anonymous', Co-Director
Due to the nature of this film; its subject matter, production methods and the context in which it has been made; it has unfortunately been necessary to credit numerous Indonesian partners and collaborators, working across all aspects of the film(from Co-Direction and Cinematography to Sound Recording, Production Management, Make Up, Music, Choreography and Technical Support) as Anonymous. Behind this honourable and historically resonant naming stand many remarkable people, who have worked tirelessly to bring these profoundly disturbing stories to wider attention. Their courage has made this film possible. Without them, it could not have been more than an idea, a wish. We share with them a deep hope that our collective labour might contribute in some way to a shift in the forces currently shaping and governing Indonesia, and towards a justice for both individuals and communities. We thank them for their trust in us, and the extraordinary commitment they have brought to this project.

About Final Cut for Real, Copenhagen, Denmark
Final Cut for Real is dedicated to high-end creative documentaries for the international market. Our policy is to be curious, daring and seek out directors with serious artistic ambitions. We do not from the outset set any limits on subjects or locations. We look for interesting stories, great characters and in-depth social, cultural and political analysis - and we also try to give the films a twist of

humour. Our method is for our producers to work closely with "their" directors from the first idea to the final film, and keep on exchanging ideas and feedback. Together we cover a wide range of development and production expertise - and work with younger talent as well as established filmmakers. We try to create a productive mixture of experience and new approaches to documentary
filmmaking. www.final-cut.dk

With More Than 1.2 Million Albums Sold, Taylor Swift's RED Scores Highest Soundscan Sales Week In Over A Decade

With More Than 1.2 Million Albums Sold, Taylor Swift's RED Scores Highest Soundscan Sales Week In Over A Decade

RED SETS NEW RECORD FOR HIGHEST WORLDWIDE DIGITAL ALBUM SALES DEBUT IN ITUNES HISTORY

SWIFT EARNS CRITICAL RAVES AND SHATTERS SALES RECORDS

WITH SECOND CONSECUTIVE MILLION-PLUS SELLING DEBUT

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Billboardreports, "It's official: Taylor Swift's 'RED' sold a whopping 1.208 million copies last week in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan," scoring music's highest weekly sales number in more than a decade (since 2002's The Eminem Show), and earning Taylor a new page in the history books as the only female artist (and the fourth artist ever) to hit the 1 million first-week figure twice since SoundScan began tracking actual sales in 1991.

RED notched the 8th largest first-week debut in SoundScan chart history and the 2(nd) biggest week ever for a female artist.

RED, released on Big Machine Records, debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (Taylor's second consecutive million-plus album selling debut and third chart-topping album), and this week sold more than the rest of the albums in the Top 50 - combined.

RED is only the 18th album in history to sell a million units in a single week; Taylor's Speak Now album is another one of the 18, with a 2010 debut of more than 1.04 million copies.

RED accounted for 19.3% of total albums sold this week -- one out of nearly every 5 CDs or downloads sold this week was Taylor's RED album.

With RED, Taylor set a new worldwide iTunes record for highest ever first-week album sales, with 565,545 copies sold digitally around the globe. RED reached #1 on the iTunes sales charts in 42 countries, and reached #1 on the national sales charts in the UK, Canada, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Malaysia, Ireland, Argentina, New Zealand, Ireland, and Australia, among others.

RED also breaks iTunes's first-week U.S. sales record, with more than 464,000 albums sold. At Target, RED set the retailer's new one-week sales record with more than 396,000 CD sold -- Taylor's Speak Now album previously held their record.

RED also enters Billboard's Top Country Albums chart at #1, and now owns the best one week sales total for any Country release in SoundScan history, surpassing the 1.08 million copies sold of Garth Brooks' "Double Live" in 1998. Taylor now has two of the three biggest one week sales totals for any Country album in the SoundScan era.

Critical acclaim for RED matches the disc's sales and chart success, with continuing rave reviews from leading critics around the globe. "She's a lethally smart songwriter and there's this universality that speaks not just to young women, but everyone who wants to find love and has felt heartbreak," Bill Werde, editorial director of Billboard, told Reuters yesterday.

"Ms. Swift has excelled..... now eight years removed from her debut single, [she] has become one of the most important pop artists of the last decade." -- The New York Times

"Swift is clearly a superstar for all seasons.....sheer genius." - The Hollywood Reporter

"Engaging....she continues to write ever-more convincingly." - USA Today

"RED is a terrific piece of work. A portrait of a young artist in full bloom." - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Swift's bare-all lyrics are sublime." -The Sunday Times (UK)

At radio, RED's lead single, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" (which recently spent three weeks at #1 atop Billboard's Hot 100 chart), spends its fourth week at #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, and is currently Top 5 on Billboard and Mediabase's CHR chart, and Top 10 on the Hot AC and AC charts. Also, Taylor's single "Begin Again" is Top 20 on the Billboard & Mediabase Country radio charts, and is this week's Airpower title. The video for the song has already amassed over 8 million views online and is on the air in Power rotation. Taylor will perform "Begin Again" on the 46(th) Annual CMA Awards tomorrow night on ABC.

RED topped the all-genre Top Albums chart at iTunes within 36 minutes of its release last week, and first day sales at iTunes alone topped 262,000 albums. Taylor scored 13 of the Top 20 songs on iTunes, with the song "Everything Has Changed" taking the #1 position on the all-genre Top Songs chart.

Worldwide, RED reached #1 at iTunes on the first day of release in 32 countries, including the UK, Australia, Singapore, Brazil, Canada, Italy, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Denmark, Venezuela, Thailand, and Ireland.

With RED, Taylor set the new Billboard record for the most rapid accumulation of 50 Hot 100 hits in history, reaching the milestone just six years and one month after her 2006 chart debut.

Taylor just announced The RED Tour, and is currently slated to headline 58 shows in 45 cities in 29 states and 3 provinces in 2013.

Taylor Swift is a six-time GRAMMY winner, and is the youngest winner in history of the music industry's highest honor, the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. She is Billboard's reigning Woman of the Year, as well as the AMA's current Artist of the Year and the CMA and ACM's Entertainer of the Year. Her Speak Now album was lauded on Rolling Stone's prestigious The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time (by women) list, and Time magazine has named Taylor one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Eminem To Executive Produce Skylar Grey's Highly Anticipated Debut Album "Don't Look Down" - New Single "C'mon Let Me Ride" Featuring Eminem To Be Released December 11

Eminem To Executive Produce Skylar Grey's Highly Anticipated Debut Album "Don't Look Down" - New Single "C'mon Let Me Ride" Featuring Eminem To Be Released December 11

Debut Album DON'T LOOK DOWN Due Spring 2013 from KIDinaKORNER/Interscope



SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- 13-time GRAMMY winning producer, songwriter and rapper Eminem has signed on as executive producer of the hotly anticipated debut album from five-time GRAMMY-nominated singer songwriter Skylar Grey, it was announced today. The first single, "C'mon Let Me Ride" featuring Eminem,which is produced by Alex Da Kid and mixed by both Eminem and Alex, will be released to all digital retailers on December 11. Grey's debut album, now titled Don't Look Down, is due out Spring 2013 from KIDinaKORNER/Interscope.

"When I was working on Recovery I was introduced to Skylar by Alex Da Kid and I was blown away with her talent as both a songwriter and vocalist," said Eminem. "This album is really going to give her a chance to connect with the fans who probably know her music, but might not know her yet. I think they will be as impressed as I am."

"Putting out a debut album is a bit scary - I want it to be just right so I took some extra time to finish it. Eminem's increased involvement has been such a blessing; I'm getting guidance from an artist I really admire and trust," said Grey. "Having written many new songs, the album has become a completely different animal, hence the title change. This new single with Em, in particular, is very exciting. We have worked on so many serious songs together - it's a nice change of pace to do something fun and sarcastic."

"Skylar is one of the first artists that I worked with in a meaningful way. I was immediately impressed with her vision, fearlessness, artistic talent and overall musicianship. I was determined to make her the first artist signed to KIDinaKORNER. KIDinaKORNER was founded on the principals of signing innovative artists that have the ability to blur our perceptions of genres. To me, Skylar Grey represents the embodiment of this principal," said Alex.

The music video for "C'mon Let Me Ride" featuring Eminem was shot in Detroit last week and will also be released with the single on December 11. Currently, Grey can be heard on two tracks on Slaughterhouse's Welcome to Our House on Shady Records/Interscope - the title track "Our House," which also features Eminem, and "Rescue Me" - and on the song "Building a Monster" on the soundtrack for the new Tim Burton animated film Frankenweenie.

Grey is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who is responsible for co-writing some of the most memorable songs to light up the Billboard Hot 100 and iTunes sales charts, totaling more than 25 million singles globally. Grey co-wrote the biggest selling single of 2010: Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie," which earned her two GRAMMY Award nominations for Best Song and Best Rap Song of the Year. She also co-wrote and appeared on Dr. Dre's "I Need A Doctor," which she performed alongside Dre and Eminem on the 2011 GRAMMY Awards telecast and for which she was nominated for two GRAMMY Awards. This past January, Grey released The Buried Sessions of Skylar Grey, which featured special acoustic performances by Grey of three songs she wrote and produced: the original demo of "Love the Way Part III" (the original "Love the way You Lie" made popular by Eminem and Rihanna), "Coming Home Part II" (originally performed by Diddy-Dirty Money) and "Words" (originally "Words I Never Said," performed by Lupe Fiasco).
