@Pinklady1,

Maybe a two-parter where Fluttershy helps Sweetie get her Cutie Mark by getting her to sing in her place? Then this leads to the events in Twilight Time?

What am I raving about? In Singin' in the Rain, the main female protagonist is chosen as the singer for the tuneless female star of an upcoming movie. The star would lip-synch to the actual singer's music. She's so mean that, at the end, her fellow cast members manipulate her into singing in public and then exposing her voice-stand-in.

I can see this happening in Filli Vanilli: Sweetie is too shy to sing in public, as is Fluttershy. They form a double-act where the beautiful Fluttershy is the front-mare whilst lip-synching to Sweetie's music. This music is so fantastic that it actually casts magic on the audience! Fluttershy isn't willing to gain notoriety from another pony's talent so she arranges for the Mane Six to expose Sweetie as the real singer.

Sweetie is terrified but, when she hears the applause, she gets her Cutie Mark. Sweetie thanks Fluttershy with some simple child's gift that turns out to be the Key of Kindness.

Twilight is so impressed with the magic in Sweetie's voice that she takes her on as her first Personal Student so she can learn to control this Spell-singing. This leads to the events in Twilight Time with Sweetie and her friends exploiting her new status to get their own back on the town's bullies.
