PERFORMANCE: Queen Barb
"My performance with Olive last week was... very eye-opening."
Queen Barb began, as her promo video began, a playful smirk on her face, as if she were making an inside joke that only a few would get.
"It was a ton of fun, too. Getting to rock out with my best friend was like a dream come true for me. But now? Now it's time to get back to business. Only one person can win this, and I promised my little Trollz out there that I'd do whatever it took to make that person me."
She gave a mischievous grin to the camera, sticking her tongue out playfully.
"I told my Trollz to tell me what they wanted to hear, and they told me. So tonight, I'll be singing AC/DC's 'You Shook Me All Night Long', which is kinda fitting, really, and definitely goes out to three very special people I know will be listening."
The video faded out, to a live shot of Barb on a mostly dark stage, plucking out the first few notes of the song. There was a slight pause, before suddenly the main riff of the song started, the lights crashing to life as Barb skipped across the stage in the vein of Angus Young.
"She was a fast machine She kept her motor clean She was the best damn woman I had ever seen She had the sightless eyes Telling me no lies Knockin' me out with those American thighs Taking more than her share Had me fighting for air She told me to come but I was already there 'Cause the walls start shaking The earth was quaking My mind was aching And we were making it and you"
She struck a post on the stage, legs spread to give her a wider base, throwing a fist into the air as she hit the chorus.
"Shook me all night long Yeah you shook me all night long"
She looked over to the guest section of the audience, where she knew Paige was sitting, giving her a teasing little blown kiss, before wagging that tongue teasingly at her.
"Working double time On the seduction line She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine Wanted no applause Just another course Made a meal out of me and came back for more Had to cool me down To take another round Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing 'Cause the walls were shaking The earth was quaking My mind was aching And we were making it and you Shook me all night long Yeah you shook me all night long And knocked me out and then you Shook me all night long You had me shakin' and you Shook me all night long Yeah you shook me Well you took me"
With a grin, she swung her guitar around her body in the same manner as Steve Vai, before dropping to her knees, passionately ripping through the guitar solo with the kind of zeal most reserve for the best of sex or the greatest of highs.
"You really took me and you Shook me all night long Oh you Shook me all night long Yeah, yeah, you Shook me all night long You really took me and you Yeah you shook me, yeah you shook me All night long"
Letting the last note ring out, Barb ended the song with a satisfied grin, slightly out of breath but looking downright ecstatic. She threw up the horns, sticking her tongue out to the camera and yelling "Rock N Roll forever!!!"
