Performance: Spencer Quill
Spencer walked out onto the stage after her video package ended in a pair of jeans and Converse sneakers with an oversized sweater. So she still looked pretty, but she didn't have that oversexed jailbait look from previous weeks. She sat on a stool next to someone on an acoustic guitar and turned the microphone toward herself.
"Everybody loves the things you do From the way you talk to the way you move Everybody here is watching you 'Cause you feel like home You're like a dream come true," she didn't make a move to get up and in fact, she even hit notes lower than she ever had before.
"But if by chance you're here alone Can I have a moment before I go? 'Cause I've been by myself all night long Hoping you're someone I used to know," she smiled, taking a deep breath before going into the chorus.
"You look like a movie You sound like a song My God, this reminds me Of when we were young," she looked down a moment, tapping her foot a bit, getting ready to pick things up a bit for the chorus.
"Let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time That we might be exactly like we were Before we realized We were sad of getting old It made us restless It was just like a movie It was just like a song," even in the more powerful notes, she barely moved, only using her hands for expression.
"I was so scared to face my fears Nobody told me that you'd be here And I swear you moved overseas That's what you said, when you left me," despite never really experiencing heartbreak, she could feel those words and a single tear trailed down her cheek.
"You still look like a movie You still sound like a song My God, this reminds me Of when we were young," she closed her eyes, getting ready to bring the next part out, making sure that it was big.
"Let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time That we might be exactly like we were Before we realized We were sad of getting old It made us restless It was just like a movie It was just like a song," she raised up a bit on the stool, getting ready to bring it all home.
"When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young," she let the music die out a bit, looking down for a moment before continuing.
"It's hard to admit that Everything just takes me back To when you were there To when you were there And a part of me keeps holding on Just in case it hasn't gone I guess I still care Do you still care?" she bit her lip, the lyrics hitting her harder than she realized.
"It was just like a movie It was just like a song My God, this reminds me Of when we were young," she swallowed hard, composing herself before going into the last run of the song.
When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young
"Let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time That we might be exactly like we were Before we realized We were sad of getting old It made us restless Oh I'm so mad I'm getting old It makes me reckless It was just like a movie It was just like a song When we were young," she was actually proud of herself as she finished. She had officially shown the other side of the more mature side to herself and even managed to find a little vulnerability, as well.
