Celebrity stylist Johnny Wujek masterminds pop star makeovers for each artist. A secretive outfit change and artist pushback leads to a pop chart confrontation. One artist takes a risky step out of their comfort zone, while another refuses to push far enough.

With acoustic performances of popular hits, Timbaland strips the aspiring stars down to the essence of artistry; singer JoJo mentors the contestants; one artist welcomes a surprise visitor, while another enlists help from a competitor.

Timbaland puts the children's songwriting and dancing to the test; Benji and Lacey Schwimmer visit; an artist commits a faux pas; a heated blow up leaves a lasting impression.
