Performance: Olive Penderghast
This time, Olive didn't have a video package before her performance. Instead, she was sitting on a stool, microphone in hand. She wore faded jeans and a Led Zepplin t-shirt. She could have played a little keyboard for this one, but she chose to just sit under a muted spotlight, stripping her performance as bare as can be.
"Remember the moment you left me alone and Broke every promise you ever made I was an ocean, lost in the open Nothing could take the pain away
So you can throw me to the wolves Tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack Beat me black and blue Every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne" she was shown to start getting a little antsy. She was used to working the stage and dancing around, but she wanted to keep things as simple as possible that night. Instead, she closed her eyes for a lot of the song, really feeling the lyrics.
"The sticks and the stones that you used to throw have Built me an empire, so don't even try To cry me a river 'cause I forgive you You are the reason I still fight
So you can throw me to the wolves Tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack Beat me black and blue Every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne" a couple of tears fell down her cheeks as she began remembering what she went through at home with all of the rumors.
"So you can throw me to the wolves Tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack Beat me black and blue Every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne
I'll leave you choking on every word you left unspoken Rebuild all that you've broken, and now you know I'll leave you choking on every word you left unspoken Rebuild all that you've broken, and now you know Every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne
So you can throw me to the wolves Tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack Beat me black and blue Every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne" she didn't say anything, she just kept her head down, closing her eyes as the light faded until it came back up so she could listen to the judges' comments.
