Re: Performance: Maya Matlin
When the video cut out, Maya stood center stage, dressed in a sexy black dress and boots. Luckily for her version of the outfit, she did not plan to dance as crazy as the guys did and so she was good to go.
She had her guitar with her again and stood, strumming at the strings as she began to sing. “Tonight I bring you my version of It’s Gonna Be Me by Nsync.”
You might've been hurt, babe. That ain't no lie. You've seen them all come and go. I remember you told me That it made you believe in "No man, no cry". Maybe that's why
She waved out into the audience at Zig, Mouse and CJ. Smiling, she moved her body to the music as she went on singing. Her eyes brighter this week, smile, too, she moved even more confidently than week two and much more so than week 1. But it was not a cocky way you could just see she was happy.
Every little thing I do Never seems enough for you. You don't wanna lose it again, But I'm not like them. Baby, when you finally Get to love somebody, Guess what? It's gonna be me.
You've got no choice, babe, But to move on. And you know There ain't no time to waste. You're just too blind to see, But in the end, you know it's gonna be me. You can't deny. So just tell me why
Her own version of this song was not as pop and so her movements were more of sways, head bops, but she was completely in the moment as she sang out strongly in each verse.
Every little thing I do Never seems enough for you. You don't wanna lose it again, But I'm not like them. Baby, when you finally Get to love somebody Guess what It's gonna be me.
This song spoke to her in different ways than the last two. You could see the confidence oozing off of her as she moved around on stage, in her steps and even the words coming out of her.
There comes a day When I'll be the one. You'll see It's gonna-gonna-gonna-gonna-gonna— It's gonna be me.
All that I do Is not enough for you. I don't wanna lose it, But I'm not like that. When finally (finally) You get to love, Guess what (guess what)?
Every little thing I do Never seems enough for you. (For you, babe.) You don't wanna lose it again, (Don't wanna lose it.) But I'm not like them. Baby, when you finally Get to love somebody, (Love.) Guess what (guess what)? It's gonna be me.
Every little thing I do Never seems enough for you. You don't wanna lose it again,
These last words were sang even stronger, if possible.
But I'm not like them. Baby, when you finally Get to love somebody, Guess what (guess what)?
It's gonna be me.
And the last line, she stated vividly! A statement! She modestly thanked everyone and made eye contact with the judges here last as she got their comments and then headed backstage, anxiously, but excited. This week had been so fun. At least whatever happened, she went out on a high note, in her opinion.
