"Magic" by Robin Thicke

Intro Video (Why I Chose This Song):
I choose this song because I think that this song suits me very well. I wanted to choose a song that had a lot of soul to the rhythm and vibe of the whole song, and I wanted something that people could move to... thus I chose this song! I hope everyone enjoys, because I had a lot of fun with this song!



LYRICS:
Hey...
Woo...
Alright baby...
Ohhh...
Oh...
Yeah...

I can make the pain disappear...
And I can erase the past... Oh...
I can make the future shine so bright...
And I can make right now alright... Yeah...

I got it, You got it, We got the magic girl...
I got it, You got it, We got the magic girl...
I got it, You got it, We got the magic girl...
I got it, You got it, We got the magic girl...

All I got is concrete all around Me... Wooo...
But I can see the countryside...
You can be rich when you're poor...
Poor when you're rich...
It can be raining and I can make the sun shine...

I got it you got it we got the (Wooo) magic girl...
I got it (You know You got it baby) You got it, We got the magic girl
I got it (I've got it baby) You got it, We got the magic girl
I got it (You know I got it baby) You got it, We got the magic girl

I know sometimes sometimes you feel no hope...
But I've been there upon that lonely road...
I took whatever gift he offered me...
Because I knew that he would set me free...

(Whoa) I got it, You got it (Wooo) We got the magic girl...
I got it (Magic baby) You got it, We got the magic (woo) girl...
I got it (We got the magic baby) You got it, We got the magic girl...

Skip

I got it, You got it, We got the magic girl...

Wooo

Science they can't prove it...
But I know I can do it...
I can fly...
I can bend metal with my mind...
I can wake up in a paradise... Ohhhh...

We got that magic...
We got that magic...
Hey...
We got that magic...
We got that magic...

Hey

We got that magic
We got that magic
Oooh

Got that magic come on
Hey

I got it, You got it, We got the magic girl
I got it, You got it, We got the magic girl
I got it, You got it, We got the magic girl
I got it, You got it, We got the magic girl

* Applauds *

Took you some time to make a decision, but there is not a doubt in my mind that you made the right one. This tune was right up your alley and I loved absolutely every second.

It was nice to see something out of Elliot that wasn't old fashioned and upbeat all at the same time.

If I danced, I'd probably be up with Kara and Paula

[Elliott Yamin]

*nods head to Randy in appreciation*

Thank you Mr. Jackson.

Elliot, you kinda put yourself on the fence of good & questionable bad...














However, this song had a good beat to it and it was a good choice. I would say it didn't pay off completely, I would say a good 75% of it was paid. However, I do think that you will be able to move on to the next round safely.

[Randy Jackson]

See Simon, I'm not a Robin Thicke fan by any stretch of the imagination.

Hell, I'd rather listen to Alan Thicke.

But I think this song, with his voice is right where Elliot needed to be.

[Elliott Yamin]

Thank you Simon for you comments, I will use what you said and apply it to next week's song choice, if I am still here that is!

[Jason Mraz]

For me, it was a bad song choice. However, you sang it good. You just need to be careful for some parts there because it irritates me! I'll give you a B- for that performance.
