## Goofs

* The applause-meter has many goofs when Ravi is rapping. It starts to move when nobody is clapping. In one shot, you can see it in the background on "Getting Warm" and then it cuts to a close up of Ravi, but when it zooms out again, it is on "Hot." Also, it is said that Luke got more applause, but Ravi seemed to have more than Luke (blazing).
