Song: "Purple Rain" by Prince (Ruth Lorenzo cover)

One of my favorite things to do is to take an unconventional song and turn it into something that really suits me. So while searching through songs I found this amazing cover of Prince's "Purple Rain." It's full of drama and it just builds and turns into this epic song. I remember in the past I chose a song that the judges said wasn't big enough for me but I think I can definitely reach my full potential with this awesome song.

Had to use a Dailymotion link, it was taken down on YouTube

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the Purple Rain
Purple Rain Purple Rain
Purple Rain Purple Rain
Purple Rain Purple Rain
I only wanted to see you bathing in the Purple Rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple Rain Purple Rain
Purple Rain Purple Rain
Purple Rain Purple Rain
I only wanted to see you underneath the Purple Rain
Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you to
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the Purple Rain
Purple Rain Purple Rain
Purple Rain Purple Rain
Purple Rain Purple Rain
I only want to see you,
In the Purple Rain

I'm kinda iffy on this one. It was just ok for me for the first like minute, then you turned up the heat for the second half, so I don't know what to think of it as a whole...

[Kara DioGuardi]

This really did nothing for me. Then it did once you hit the notes, at the end it was great. But again i am shocked with the song choice. But you do deserve to stay here this just wasn't your week.

[Simon Cowell]
