Brandi Carlile - The Story

I am not an American Idol fan, but happened to stop at Channel 5 for a while just now and I heard an interesting voice. It was Lacey Brown singing Brandi Carlile’s The Story.

She has got an unique voice and I think it was a great cover of the song. However, if i was a bit picky, I think her voice kinda of floating around too much that it sounded somewhat off the tone.

Agreed with Simon that the whole performance was lifted by her eye contact with the camera. She knows where the camera are and she kept her attention on it.

For those who wish to listen to the original singer, here is Brandi Carlile’s version. It was started melancholy, but evolved into rock after the entry. Kinda of cool!

Brandi Calile - The Story

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Oh, because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

It's true...I was made for you
