MELODY'S POINT OF VIEW
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV VVV
It was the last show of the tour, I just couldn't wait to get out there. Like always, the last show was in Los Angeles. "20 minutes to the show." The women with the headset on said to me while she rushed me into make-up. "Hey , Maria can you add something to make my eyes jump out tonight?" I asked my best friend/make-up artist. "Already done girly." She replied enthusiastically. I sighed dramatically, "I need a man." I whined. She laughed and said, "You don't actually need a man really...you just REALLY need to get laid." I rolled my eyes at her; she could be such a tramp sometimes.
I remembered that I had a different outfit for every song that I was going to sing.
After some last minute warm ups I went and checked the line up one last time. Then I grabbed my microphone and got ready to run out onto the stage.
I saw my M.C, Zac run onto the stage with his microphone. "Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the lovely and beautiful, Electric Rose!"
The crowd went insane when I ran out onto the stage, it was such a rush.
"Hey, Guys! How are we feelin' tonight?"
Everyone was screaming, I loved the feeling I got when I was on stage. The music started to play, and I began with my opening song, HIT THE LIGHTS.
HIT THE LIGHTS (SELENA GOMEZ)
It's the boy you never told 'I like you' It's the plane you wanna catch to Vegas It's the time that you totally screwed up It's all the money that you're saving It's a mad, mad world So let's go (go, go, go) all the way Hit the lights It's a mad, mad world
It's the girl you let get away
It's the one you saw that day on the train
But you freaked out and walked away
Things you swear you'd do before you die
It's the city of love that waits for you
But you're too damn scared to fly
Hit the lights
Let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight
Come alive
Let the moment take you
Lose control tonight
Still you're tryna get it out your brain
It's the fight you had when you didn't make up
It's the past that you're dying to change
While the good life passes by
It's all the dreams that never came true
'Cause you're too damn scared to try.
Hit the lights
Let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight
Come alive
Let the moment take you
Lose control tonight
Gotta make an escape
It's a perfect world
When you go all the way
Hit the lights
Let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight
Yeah let's go (go, go, go) night and day
From the floor to the rafters
People raise your glasses
We could dance forever
Let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight
Come alive
Let the moment take you
Lose control tonight
Gonna make an escape
It's a perfect world
When you go all the way
Hit the lights
Let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight
I ended the song and talked to the crowd for a minute, then snapped my fingers. As soon as I snapped my fingers, fireworks went off and the band began to play my next song.
FIREWORK (KATY PERRY)
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, Do you ever feel already buried deep? You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine 'Cause baby you're a firework Baby, you're a firework You don't have to feel like a wasted space Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine 'Cause baby you're a firework Baby, you're a firework Boom, boom, boom 'Cause baby you're a firework Baby, you're a firework Boom, boom, boom
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards,
One blow from caving in?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you
Just own the night like the 4th of July
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in "awe, awe, awe"
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know
Just own the night like the 4th of July
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in "awe, awe, awe"
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in "awe, awe, awe"
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
While I changed into my next stage outfit, the crew pushed my grand piano onto the stage. I walked back out with my microphone and sat down at the piano.
"Alright, so I wrote this song when I was going through a... umm... I wrote it when I was going through a kind of confusing and tough time in a relationship." I spoke into the microphone.
GRAVITY (SARA BARREILLES)
Something always brings me back to you. You hold me without touch. Oh, You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me... down.
You're keeping me down, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're on to me, on to me, and all over...
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
"This song is for all the people who have been bullied. It's for all the people in the world that have been brought down. When people make you sad, and bring you down... you just sing them this song!" I said.
MEAN (TAYLOR SWIFT)
You, with your words like knives You can take me down with just one single blow Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city You, with your switching sides I bet you got pushed around Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city And I can see you years from now in a bar All you are is mean But someday I'll be living in a big ol' city Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city (Why you gotta be so?..)
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You picking on the weaker man
But you don't know, what you don't know...
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know, what you don't know...
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so?..
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why you gotta be so?..)
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (Why you gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
"This next song, is about loving someone and about missing them, missing there touch. It's about just wanting them to be next to you when you are far apart." I said, the crowd eventually catching on when the music started to play.
NEXT TO YOU (JORDIN SPARKS)
Two 'o clock and I wish that I was sleeping I asked around and I heard that you were talking Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do? Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do? Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do? Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
You're in my head like a song on the radio
All I know is that I got to get next to you
Yeah I got to get next to you
Sitting here turning minutes into hours
To find the nerve just to call you on the telephone
You don't know that I got to get next to you[Chorus]
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you
Told my girl that you thought I was out of your league
What a fool, I got to get next to you, whoa
Yeah it's five in the morning and I can't go to sleep
'Cause I wish, yeah I wish that you knew what you mean to me
Baby let's get together and end this mystery, oh
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
Yeah, yeah, to want to get next to you
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Baby call me crazy
But I know you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I got to get next to you
"Alright, this one's for all the tom boys in the audience." I screamed.
ONE OF THE BOYS (KATY PERRY)
I saw a spider So over the summer I wanna be a flower (Don't wanna be)
I didn't scream
'cause I can belch
The alphabet
Just double dog
Dare me
And I chose
Guitar over ballet
And I take
These suckers down
Because they just
Get in my way
The way
You look at me
Is kinda like
A little sister
You high five
Your goodbyes
And it leaves me
Nothing but blisters[Chorus]
So I don't want to be
One of the boys
One of your guys
Just give me a chance
To prove to you tonight
I just wanna be
One of the girls
Pretty in pearls
Not one of the boys
Something changed
I started reading 17
And shaving my legs
And I studied
"Lolita" religiously
And I walked
Right into school
And caught you
Staring at me
'cause I know
What you know
But now you're gonna have
To take a number
It's OK
Maybe one day
But not until you give my
Diamond ring
Cause I don't want to be
One of the boys
One of your guys
Just give me a chance
To prove to you tonight
I just wanna be
one of the girls
So pretty in pearl
Not one of the boys
Not a dirty weed
And I wanna smell
Like roses
Not a baseball team
And I swear
Maybe one day
You're gonna
Wanna make out
Make out, make out
With me
Don't want to be
(Don't wanna be)
Don't want to be
(Don't wanna be)
'cause I
I don't wanna be one
One
One of the boys
I just wanna be
one of the girls
So pretty in pearls
Not one of the boys
