Week 2: Episode 4
| From Marty's Blog:
July 16th
I had an enlightened moment this afternoon. I need to take this
week’s performance over the top and define my performance style. I
want to inspire all the kids watching to get up and scream at the top
of their lungs. When I saw Led Zeppelin perform for the first time
they blew me away with their Bombast and Rocket fueled energy. I want
to grab everyone's attention.
We started this trip with 15 extremely talented singers. None of the
performers are cookie cutter interpretations of personalities you have
seen before. We are all unique and the competition is fierce. The
daily battle here is against yourself and staying in the mix mentally.
I know who I am. I'm just trying to figure out how to fit into the
puzzle.
Individual personalities are starting to shine. I was relatively
quiet the first week and am opening up more now. I try to concentrate
on listening to everyone and find out who they are. There are a lot
of Type A personalities and conversations tend to get confusing when
everyone is speaking at the same time. The song selection this week
really helped to define whom the generous givers are. For the most
part, everyone was willing to bend in order to finalize the song
selection. I think in the long run it is extremely beneficial to have
the ability to run with any song and make it your own. Deanna is the
hero this week. I hope she blows everyone AWAY!
I chose a classic song this week "What I Like About You" because I did
a modern song last week "Take Me Out". I am planning on doing a high
-energy punk rock version of "What I Like About You". I wanna get the
crowd moving and grab their attention.
In the coming weeks I want to showcase all sides of my musical
personality. Lots of pressure starting to brew at the mansion, keep
posted for the inevitable drama… |
