Emmy Russell is gaining momentum if YouTube views are any indicator of such a claim. Her latest American Idol performance has over 76K views at the time of this post, only eclipsed by powerhouses McKenna Faith (80K) and Abi Carter (82K). She may be shy and unassuming, but it appears as though voters like her endearing demeanor. She made it into the top 20 (short recap of the episode here) and performed an original song called “Want You.” The lyrics are below, followed by the video. I think Loretta would be proud!
Emmy Russell “Want You”
Don’t want your empty words,
your fake diamond dreams.
The way you talk about forever,
don’t think you know what that means.
Don’t want a grand gesture,
just be here with me.
You and me, baby, yeah that’s all I need.
I want you to want me like I want you,
I want you to need me like I need you.
If you’re going to leave me then cut me loose,
I want you to want me.
I’m breaking your heart and you’re breaking mine,
I say I need space, you say you need time.
I don’t even know if we’re keeping score.
All that I know is I love you more.
I want you to want me like I want you,
I want you to need me like I need you.
If you’re going to leave me then cut me loose,
I want you to want me, like I want you.
You…
Like I want you,
Like I want you.
