PERFORMANCE - LITA TODD ( 1 of 2 )
The judges wanted more emotional so that was what Lita set out to do that week. Wanting to focus on the singing, she was actually dressed down that night as to not overshadow herself by looking flashy. It was probably the most subdued and comfortable the tiny girl had ever looked. Her personality, however, was still as bright as ever as she walked out with a smile on her face waving at the audience and judges.
On the stage was a single chair that Lita set on in front of a microphone. She took a moment to adjust it to her height then she began speaking into it. "So I'mma be real with you, I'm only sixteen and in my first relationship" She started, the engagement ring on her finger conveniently covered because she wasn't ready for that to get attention yet. "Hi babe" She said cutely to one of the cameras, blowing a kiss before she got serious again as she looked back to the audience. "So I haven't experienced heartbreak yet. However, I had experienced heartache. You know, the kind you feel when you're fighting with a friend or someone you've always been there for just casts you aside like you mean nothing to them. Let's face it, losing friends can really suck and hits you right here" She reached up to put a hand on her heart. "This song hits me right there too when I think about some of the broken friendship I've had in the past and present. I hope you like it"
She took a moment to compose herself then she gave the motion for the music to start. The song started out slowly, much different than how it had been the other weeks. She had really tried hard to find a version that would convey how she was feeling.
