"Week 3 (Michael Jackson)"

[Carmen Rasmusen]

Michael Jackson- You Are not Alone

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone...






Well. I knew this would be a tough week for me as Michael Jackson is not my genre at all. When I heard the Lyrics to this song. It touched me in so many ways. To know that regardless of whether im here competing in this show Im never alone and That i have people who are always there for me and Im there for them. This song will definately show my vulnerability upon stage

[Kara DioGuardi]

Carmen, this was actually a very beautiful performance, I really did enjoy it. Good Job Honey!

[simon]

well Carmen,





this was a decent performance, it didn't wow me, but it was an ok performance. You did take a chance with this song and you played it off well enough that it should get you to the next round.

[Jason Mraz]

Carmen, I thought it was ok. Nothing great!

[Paula Abdul]

Carmen sang it ok but i did not feel it from you

just ok for me

[Randy Jackson]

Carmen -

I have to admit that when I heard it was Michael Jackson week, that my mind automatically wanted to rule some people out. You were amongst them.

That being said, I feel that Michael was always at his best when he was doing an inspirational piece like Man in the Mirror, Heal the World, or You Are Not Alone. And because you really related to the song .. really let it into your soul. It came through in your performance and it sold me.

Best vocal you've had? Probably not. But a solid performance that tugged at the heartstrings. What more can you possibly ask for?

Nice work!
