Same old same here at the mansion although there is one less. I will miss Zayra a lot. She is one of a kind with real heart, talent, creativity and edge. Everyone here is really crazy in each person’s own way.

I loved going into the studio again. That’s one of my favorite places to be. Playing live in the studio is the next best thing to a spontaneous moment in a concert. Actually it’s just as good- just different. Knowing that a song is being laid down at that moment and pushing all this air and gut through a microphone with everything cranked up so loud turns me on- body and soul. I came out of the studio and heat was coming off my head like you can’t believe. It was a sweet relief.  Making music is what it’s about.

The next day, which was yesterday, I came in and sang “Celebrity Skin” and had a blast. I learned the song in a few hours the night before and ripped it. I jumped off the five-foot pod in the middle of the song into the audience and walked up to where Dave and Gilby and Jason and Tommy were and finished the climax of the song out. Another sweet and intense moment. I felt like if they sent me home, they saw me crushing it and the house was full tilt. That’s all I wanted. They will decide what they want and need.

The house is so much quieter now that there are only seven of us here. You guys don’t forget that- even when someone is in the bottom three, it can be just by a small margin. Don’t give up on me and keep the votes coming. I love singing for you. Thanks for you support.

The sun's going down now and I’m going to have some dinner, practice and work out before I crash. Speak to ya soon. Nine Lives!
Love- Patrice
