Marina & The Diamonds on Rising Star

Tonights Rising Star episode started with a bang as singer Marina & The Diamonds sang her newest single "Where The Diamonds Grow" in arguably her best performance yet! The episode start with a view of the show's iconic wall, which displayed a sky of stars. The stars began spinning rapidly until the came into a formation resembling Marina's eyes. Some stars twinkle, but a large twinkle from the center of the right eye shines brighter than the rest. The twinkle remains as the eyes fade into Marina's actual eyes. The song "Hollywood" plays for at least 10 seconds, then Marina reaches her hand up to her face to draw on a heart. "How To Be A Heartbreaker" plays for 10 seconds and the audience roars. Tears form in Marina's eyes and a tear drips down her face, going right through the heart. Marina wipes her eyes and wipes the heart away. The screen zooms out from Marina's eyes, and as her full head comes into view diamonds are seen falling from the top of the screen and a white background that brightens the whole room. The beat of "Where The Diamonds Grow" begins and the wall rises. Marina is in a Y-shape formation, her arms spread into the sky and feet firmly together. She starts to lean her hip to the right. Her right hand lowers her microphone to her mouth as she sings the first line of the song, "I'm attracted". She quickly moves her left hand to her hip as she says the next line, "To the city". She slides her hand up to her breasts as she sings the next line, "Men mostly suited". She slides her hand to her thighs as she finally sings "Sexy booted". She twirls through the rest of the verse. As she reaches the bridge's first line "Give me dollar, give me dollar" she points to the right side of the stage and cash bursts out of cannons to the audience. She continues dancing and singing until she reaches the last line of the bridge "We want diamonds and dough". She points to the left side of the stage as money bursts out of cannons. The chorus begins with Marina center stage and money falling from the ceiling. She twirls her dress as the money falls. When the chorus ends, Marina starts strutting off stage towards the left side audience. She begins singing the next verse, rubbing up on men and women as she walks. She picks up a few dollar bills off the floor and stuff them in her bra. With the last line of the verse, Marina grabs the closest boy, dips down so her face is at his crotch, and sings "Family jewels, from fools, need protecting". She jumps back up and struts to the right side audience while singing another verse. The show's wall starts to lower to a screen showing a giant 100 dollar bill with Marina's head in the center, winking. As the final verse begins, Marina dances up the stairs of the audience. They start money at Marina and she giggles a bit. She makes her way back to the stage and stands with her left hand on her hip to sing the chorus one last time. The wall's screen changes to a zoom in of Marina's face as she sings the last part of the song: "You'd be kidding yourself, If you said that you didn't want it, And I'd be kidding myself, If I said I didn't think I'd be rich." The audience gives Marina a standing ovation as she bows. Ludacris gets out of his seat as Marina excitedly runs to hug him. Next she goes to Kesha and they share a few words. She skips the country guy on accident but tbh no one even watches the show for him. Marina makes her way to her guest chair and settles in to begin voting for the night. Before the show goes to a commercial break the judges joke about the money and singing to that one guy's junk, to which the audience laughs.
When the show comes back from its commercial break, the contestants compete to move on. Most of the performers make it through, and most of them get a vote from Marina. One of the contestant sings Marina's "Where The Diamonds Grow" much to Marina's surprise. She gasps and looks right at the camera excitedly when she hears the opening line of her song. She immediately slides her button to vote "yes" for the guy and heads over to Kesha's chair and has a mini fight to get her to slide it. When the guy is done Marina gets up to hug the guy and kisses him on his cheek. The other performances aren't notable. At the end of the episode "Where The Diamonds Grow" begins playing and all the singers who passed and the judges run on stage to dance to the cute bop.

I'll probably stick to traditional promo this week. I was trying to do some outside of the box random stuff the last couple of weeks.
I'll let you guys decide on Dolly. Should she A - Continue her meltdown. B - Settle down and go back to traditional Dolly.

You're necessary, you're very necessary / I need you like, the air I breathe / I need you near me, just gotta have you near me / Wanna feel like, a heartbeat / You keep me going, don't want to keep me going / You put me into, overtime / Try not to show it, try my best not to show it / But boy you stay, on my mind

[Aubrey]
Think I'm in heaven, if this isn't heaven / It's the closest, that I'll ever be / I'm tryna tell ya, the moment we're together / It's messing with, my sanity / It's overrated, it's really overrated / Maybe we should do it, now / You're hesitating, quit hesitating / Don't be afraid, I'll show you how / Babe, I'll show you how-how

Lyrics...
[Dawn]
Love it when I'm flexin up, in my car
Door swing open, for my passenger
Look up in the mirror, fix my mascara
People wanna know, who the hell is her
Drop top ridin', in my Coop DeVille
I stay mobbing, in my hoopty still
Rattling the trunk, when I play the track
Swerve to the left, yelling holla back
[Danity Kane]
Ooh, these haters got a sour ass look up on their face
Lemonade lemonade
Lemonade lemonade
Ooh, they lookin' so thirsty
Might just need a drink
Lemonade lemonade
Lemonade lemonade
[Aubrey]
I feel your eyes on me
I like how it feels
I hope that you enjoyed your five
But I'll take it from here
Late to the party, but I'm always on time
Misunderstood, but I'm always on your mind
[Shannon]
Who cares if we turn up every night the top down
When we pull up at the light
Don't listen to what nobody say
So loud, I can't hear nobody say nothing
I wish you would say something
While me and my girls is stuntin'
Ain't no problems here,
See, I'm just trying to have good time
[Danity Kane]
Ooh, these haters got a sour ass look up on they face
Lemonade lemonade
Lemonade lemonade
Ooh, They lookin' so thirsty
Might just need a drink
Lemonade lemonade
Lemonade lemonade
[Dawn]
I'm rockin' my sunnies
To block all this shade
We over here settin up shots
Slingin' lemonade
I'm late to the party, but I'm always on time
Misbehaving, always up to no good
[Shannon]
Who cares if we turn up every night the top down
When we pull up at the light
Don't listen to what nobody say
So loud, I can't hear nobody say nothing
I wish you'd say something
While me and my girls is stuntin
Ain't no problems here,
See, I'm just trying to have good time
[Danity Kane]
Ooh, these haters got a sour ass look up on they face
Lemonade lemonade
Lemonade lemonade
Ooh, they lookin' so thirsty,
They might just need a drink
Lemonade lemonade
Lemonade lemonade
[Tyga]
What you mad for
Is it me or nah
The ice in my charm,
Forget no flaws, I'm daddy T-Raww, trips around the world
I'm open arms to a door, you my chicks spoil
Be loyal, lord I'm royal
Whippin that brief, catch a case if they try follow
She top dollar!
Know her pants already got it
Intoxicated, faded how we got home?
Glad we made it, I know they hate it
Smirk on they faces, blue in the face
Smurf faces what I do for you
Morning in the bank statement
What she do for me
You know that tongue crazy
I like that I like that
I'm so sick she get it
I bite that don't bite that
I like that go like that
Go right back She right back
Are you mad, my chick bad?
[Danity Kane]
Ooh, these haters got a sour ass look up on they face
Lemonade lemonade
Lemonade lemonade
Ooh, they lookin' so thirsty,
They might just need a drink
Lemonade lemonade
Lemonade lemonade

I think everyone did an awesome job this week. I don't even think Dolly really did enough for 500k but thank you Carlos. Your promo was far superior IMHO.

Some pleasant news is I've done calculating for 4 albums/EPs so far and the sales already stand at:
412,000
340,000
258,000
146,000
Putting a real life Top 5 Album Chart to shame. + the #1 album last week did less than #4 this week already.
