Re: Performance: Spencer Quill
"Alright. So... hear me out, because this is gonna be a little more detailed than my critiques usually get."
Rachelle took a deep breath, downed the rest of her drink... sigh... then chucked the empty glass haphazardly backstage.
"You need to understand how much that song, and ALL of Morgan's songs, really, mean to me. Some people know this, some don't - Morgan is one of "The Wives" that I talk about all the time. I love that woman with a sincerity and loyalty that most people could never even begin to understand. And... my younger, semi-stupid ass inadvertently inspired some of her songs."
"So... you have to understand that I'm far more protective and in love with her songs more than I would be with the average artist. Which makes it hard for me to critique this without being all 'oh, Morgan sounded better'. Because honestly, if you came out here and had a voice ten times better than Morgan's, to me? Hers would still be better. But this impressed me."
"You held your own vocally, which for me to say is a huge compliment. Also, the part that shocked me... you felt it. It wasn't a flat performance: you were feeling those lyrics, which makes all the difference. I've liked you from the beginning. I've had doubts, and I've had fun, and everything in between. But this? Girl... win or lose, you just made a believer out of me."
