                                                                         What is a hero?
A hero is a person who sticks up for what they think is right.They don't care for what others think about them.They follow their dreams, no matter how unrealistic. A hero is someone who does what they feel is right.
                                                                    Melanie Martinez Quotes 
Quote: "So what if I'm crazy?The best people are." 
Reason: I picked this quote because it means that it's okay to be crazy and not normal because everyone that was great was a little crazy. And that being crazy is better than being normal. This also means that she doesn't care that she's crazy. That she's fine with being crazy. 

Quote: "The normals, they make me afraid." 
Reason: Being normal scares her because the normal people don't think like non-normal people do. They all think a certain way and she thinks way differently. Normal people tend to judge non-normals and she doesn't like that. She has a creative, morbid mind that is frowned upon by most normal people. 

Quote: "I'm not a piece of cake, for you to just discard" 
Reason: You can't use her then leave. Like how you eat some cake but then you throw the rest away. She's that cake. She doesn't want to be used. She wants someone to stay forever.

September 7, 2012: Well it's time for me to go on. I can't believe I'm on 'The Voice' about to sing Toxic! I'm so excited and a nervous wreck. Hopefully I'll make it to the next round. Everyone is so talented. I hope I'm as good as them. Maybe I won't be the first off the show. God I'm nervous. Well I guess I should get going. This person's time is almost up. Wish me luck! Wait, stupid me. You're a book you can't possibly wish me luck! 

October 15, 2012: Omg I won! I can't believe it! I won! Woooo hooooo! On to the next round! I'm in the Battle round Duet about to sing 'Lights by Ellie Goulding' hopefully I win this round too. I'm on Adam Levine's team so I shouldn't worry so much 'cause they usually win. But still. What if I lose? ! I don't wanna lose. I've come so far. Well not too far but still! I don't wanna go! I'm about to go on so later guys! 

October 29, 2012: I won! Again! That was pretty easy if you ask me. Well on to the next round. This one is a knockout round and I'm going to sing 'Bulletproof by La roux'. I bet this one will be easy too. I knew I picked the right team. Well I should probably get going. I'm up in a few minutes and I need to warm up my throat or else I'll sound like a dying bullfrog. 

December 3, 2012: I'm like so sad right now. I don't even feel like writing 'cause I'm so sad! I was eliminated from 'The Voice'! I can't believe it! And it was by public vote! I just can't right now. My grandmother is trying to cheer me up, and it's working a little bit. God I love her. She convinced me to get on 'The Voice' in the first place! Now she's talking about how I should start my own singing career! Maybe I'll do just that.
                                                   Q and A interview with Melanie Martinez 
Q: Why don't you like pop music? 
A: Well I don't like pop music. I like the idea of pop music, it can be impactful. And it can be so honest and real. 

Q: Why do you like making music? 
A: I want people to listen to music that's honest. That makes me happy about writing music. 

Q: What's the reason you made the album 'CryBaby'? 
A: The reason was to turn childhood themes into adult situations. 

Q: Why CryBaby? 
A: CryBaby is like a character of myself. The darker honest version. And on my dark side I usually cry a lot so, yeah. 

Q: Why is your music like the way it is? 
A:  My songs are like a story. With CryBaby as the main person. At the beginning of the story she's like vulnerable and emotional. Like with my song Soap. Next there's Pity Party. When she's starting to be less emotional and a little crazy. And then the story goes from there. Where she's not as insecure and emotional as she use to be. So yeah. That's the point of having it like I do.
