Performance: Ally
Ally had tried to take what the judges had said last week to heart, wanting to be memorable and wanting to show off more than just her range. And she just wanted to have fun while she get to be on this stage. For as long as she got to be on it. She knew a lot of people would interpret the song she'd picked as being about a romantic partner but she didn't think of it that way. For her it was just about a person who was there for you. She was singing it tonight for her Auradonian friends and the ones she'd made after arriving here. She wasn't ready yet to film an intro segment, so there was just her name before she stepped out onto the stage, the dress from last week traded out for a pair of jeans and a peasant blouse. The one nod to her mother was in the white rabbit stitching along the bottom of her shirt, and the blue streaks in her hair.
Old suitcase, clean getaway I'm the one who takes the blame again New day but the same lines, I Feel like a victim of the dollar sign
All these years on my own Fight my fight all alone 'Til you came, don't you know Don't you know
She winked at the crowd before starting to move towards the judges table.
Baby, you're the highlight of my lowlife She gave a little shimmy towards the floor everytime she sang the word lowlife, her voice going a little sultrier.
Take a shitty day and make it alright, yeah alright Oh, in every circumstance Yeah, you make the difference Baby, you're the highlight of my lowlife, lowlife
This bad taste, these headaches Wake up on the floor again, ah, yeah My torn dress, this failed test Soon they will be erased
All these years on my own Fight my fight all alone 'Til you came, don't you know, don't you know
She caught sight of a friend in the audience, shooting them a wink and a kiss.
Baby, you're the highlight of my lowlife Take a shitty day and make it alright, yeah, alright Oh, in every circumstance Yeah, you make the difference Baby, you're the highlight of my lowlife, lowlife
And I get so lonely I can't make it on my own And I need to call ya "Can you come to my chateau?" Take me in your arms and Hold me tight, yeah, pull me close Whisper in my ear All I want you to say is
She moved to center stage, spotlight hitting her as the music lowered as she started on the last verse.
Baby, you're the highlight of my lowlife, (lowlife) hey Take a shitty day and make it alright, yeah, alright Oh, in every circumstance Yeah, you make the difference Baby, you're the highlight of my lowlife, lowlife Baby, you're the highlight of my lowlife, hey Take a shitty day and make it alright, yeah, alright Oh, in every circumstance Yeah, you make the difference Baby, you're the highlight of my lowlife, lowlife
