I am feeling good about my performance of “Lithium.” Screwing it up could be the death of me. My key concern was not forgetting the lyrics because with such a short time to learn the songs we all fight to get the lyrics down. The crowd was amazing.

We got back to the mansion last night after the performance and most everyone was feeling a bit down about their performances. Something was in the air and stress levels were at an all-time high. INXS made some harsh comments about a few of the performances so the after party was chill, relatively quiet. MiG, Suzie, Heather, Jordis, Brandon and I sat around the piano and sang classic nostalgia tunes: Billy Joel, Beatles, some MiG originals and I played a couple of original tunes ("Tunnel" and "Trees").

Now we have to perfect some INXS songs for the elimination show. I better get to work!
