Rock and roll music! It's all about heart, soul, passion, aggression, happy, sad … all rolled into one! I'm so f*#%ing honored and proud to be part of it! Rock music truly is the most powerful thing in the world. When it sinks its fangs into me, I feel possessed. Everything planned on stage gets thrown completely out the window. I can't f*%^ing contain the monster! Rock on!

This week I'm singing "It’s All Over Now" by The Rolling Stones. Singing The Stones… now that's Rock ’n Roll--And I like it! The competition is heating up and I'm chillin’. Got a great song, making it my own, I couldn't be happier. Considering I need a solid performance, not looking to be on the elimination show Wednesday night. Feels great knowing for this song I can simply be me--Don't need a vocal coach for this one baby. It’s all Brandon Calhoun. Finally, I feel like people can see the real me. It’s great to do some arranging as well. The feel is quite different from the original version--dig it!

Being in the bottom 3 sucks! I'm confident that confidence and self doubt are the reason I ended there. There is no question I have the tools to be the lead singer of INXS. It's putting it all together--voice, performance, attitude, the whole entire Package. After the Wednesday performance I realized a valuable thing--it’s much tougher to step out of my comfort zone than I thought. In that I mean, breaking old habits. I can't sing aggressively every song. Part of me is fortunate to have been part of the bottom 3, which is totally insane. A calming comes over you up there facing elimination. Now I know what to expect. I don't fear it…which I think will help me moving forward in this competition.

This week was my best performance yet. I really felt the song "If You Could Only See" by Tonic. I was much more focused and settled. I think it has to do with working with such great people from cast members, to the house band, to vocal coach Ron Anderson. I'm feeling a new artist in me. I'm starting to feel more grounded here at the mansion as well. I can feel my creative writing side kicking in. It's funny how I work. Because I'm not a musical genius -- far from it -- I use my mood swings to generate melodies and music. I write straight from feel.
