Right, so it...it's really a collaborative thing, this whole...this whole
experience is really collaborative, it's mutually beneficial for Adam and I
to work really closely on arranging the song
so it...so it's appropriate for my voice and uh... I mean
"Mr. Brightside" is a pretty straightforward song and ---
kind of interpreting it differently is something super important to making it
interesting and relevant again because it's a really nice throw back and
I can't think of a single person who doesn't like it
and uh... I mean, it was really easy to perform because it's one of my favorite anthems as
an angsty teen of
yesteryear, yeah. I think back to
to the day of harsh early
breakups when I was back in high school and uh...
and back to my days playing in my band from high school and we would do... we
didn't do this song in particular, we'd do songs like this, all this
like alt rock really high energy stuff and uh...
I was back on my own and I was the front man of a band again, I think that's where I feel
most at home.
Right! I was in a band in high school and we were terrible
and uh...but I had a really good time playing with them,
and...and this is just on a whole new level
just playing...playing with The Voice band, I have to give props to Paul
and Doreen and everybody else who's a part of that band because they're just
outstanding musicians
and...I mean...as...same thing with everybody, all the contestants in
the competition, just outstanding and
uh... been counted among them is a huge honor
and being able to perform with them is humbling.
I really wanna do Queen
at some point in this competition. I love Queen
and I identify with Freddie Mercury artistically and vocally and uh...
he's one of my...he's easily one of my favorite
performers of all times, so I'm...that's...I will...I will twist Adam's arm to make that
happen at some point.
Well I have been pigeonholed into the nerd archetype
and...because I did spend some time working at Apple and fixing computers and stuff
but, I mean with this song I was hoping to kinda break out of that mold a little bit.
I did a nice kind of
intimate sleepy song last week and
did something really fun
this week so...I mean I hope it was as much fun for you as it was for me.
Just, thank you guys for supporting me this far. I promise to continue
doing the best I can
to deliver quality performances and
I love music and I know if you're watching you do too
so we have that in common.
