Finalist sing
This week I need to prove to america that I am The Voice. For Monday night's performance we sing a new song, a duet with our coach, and a song that we have already sang that our coaches think was our star moment.
For my new song I am singing Born to fly by Sarah Evans. For my duet with Blake we are singing Timber I'm Falling In Love, and for my rising star moment I am singing Maybe it was Memphis.
Over the week my family and I went to Blake's house for lunch to talk about how much progress I have had throughout the past several weeks. Blake is really proud of me and so are my parents, even though winning the voice would be a dream come true for me, I think that it would mean more to my parents to know that one of their daughters who is sixteen just won a national television show.
The first performance I did was my duet with Blake. I am wearing a silver sparkly dress and my hair is down and straitened.
"here is Danielle Bradbery with her coach Blake Shelton singing. Timber I'm Falling in Love!"
Me: right time the right place the body the right face timber I'm falling in love. It started slow it's coming fast I've got a feeling it's gonna last
Both: timber I'm falling in love your so pretty you look so sweet your love's sweepin' me off of my feet timber I'm falling in love
Me: who knows how love starts
Both: I woke up with you in my heart timber in falling in love
Both: your so pretty you look so sweet your love's sweepin' me off of my feet timber I'm falling in love
Both: timber i'm falling in love
timber i'm falling in love
timber i'm falling in love
Our performance went great! It was fun and carefree, the way I like it!
Later on after Michelle And the Swon Brothers sang a song it was my turn and I was singing Maybe it was Memphis.
"this is Danielle Bradbery singing her top hit, Maybe it was Memphis!"
Looking at you through a misty moonlight katy did sing like a symphony porches Wong swinging like a tennessee lullaby melody blowing through a willow tree what was I supposed to do standing there looking at you a lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis maybe it was southern summer nights maybe it was you maybe it was me but it sure felt right
Maybe it was Memphis maybe it was southern summer nights maybe it was you maybe it was me but it sure felt right
Every night now since I've been back home lie awake drifting in the memory I think about you on my mommas front porch swing talking that way so soft to me want was I supposed to do standing there looking at you a lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis maybe it was southern summer nights maybe it was you maybe it was me but it sure felt right
Maybe it was Memphis maybe it was southern summer nights maybe it was you maybe it was me but it sure felt right
Oh maybe it was Memphis
The crowd went even wilder than they did last time I sang it, I just really hope that the extra practicing hours was enough for the win.
Before my final performance the top 3 got to sing a song together and then for the last couple chorus's the top 16 gets to join in.
"here is your top 3 singing Home!"
Me: Alabama Arkansas I do love my mom and pa but not the way that I do love you
Colton: holly molly me oh my your the apple of my eye girl I've never loved one like you
Michelle: man oh man your my best friend I'll scream into the nothingness there ain't nothing that I need
Zach: hot and heavy pumpkin pie chocolate candy me oh me ain't nothing to please me more than you
All: our home let me go home home is where ever I'm with you
our home let me go home home is where ever I'm with you
Zach: I'll follow you into the park through the jungle through the dark girl I've never lived one like you
Me: moats and boats and waterfalls alleyways and pay phone calls I've been everywhere with you
Colton: laugh until we think we'll die barefoot on a summer night never could be sweeter than with you
Michelle: and in the streets we run a-free like its only you and me
Colton and Michelle: geese your something to see
Top 16: our home let me go home home is where ever I'm with you
our home let me go home home is where ever I'm with you
our home let me go home home is where ever I'm with you
our home let me go home home is where ever I'm with you
It was great being able to sing with the top 16 again they were fun.
And now it is time for my final performance.
"please welcome Danielle Bradbery singing Born To Fly!"
"Ive been telling my dreams to the scarecrow about the places that I'd like to see I said friend do you think I'll ever get there ah but he just stands there smiling back at me
So I confessed my sins to the preacher about the love I've been praying to find is there a brown eyed boy in my future ya he says girl you've got nothing but time
But how do you wait for heaven an who has that much time and how do you keep your feet on the ground when you were born you were born to fly
My daddy he is grounded like the oak tree my mamma she is steady as the sun oh you know I love my folk but I keep staring down that road just looking for my one chance to run
Hey cause I will soar away like a blackbird I will blow in the wind like a seed I will plant my heart in the garden I my dreams and I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free
But how do you wait for heaven an who has that much time and how do you keep your feet on the ground when you were born ya you were born you were born to fly
But how do you wait for heaven an who has that much time and how do you keep your feet on the ground when you were born you were born to fly
Fly
You were born to fly
You were born to fly!"
I can't believe how well that went I had a standing ovation and I just know that the results will be good.
