LOS ANGELES (GaeaTimes.com)- The performance by Siobhan Magnus in the latest episode of “American Idol” was not that touching, but what really struck the right chords was the fact that she suddenly displayed the hitherto unseen emotional side of her, mentioning her sisters after her performance. In fact, after the post-performance question answer session, it seemed that Siobhan Magnus’ sisters featured in a big way in her performance, which was definitely way different from what she usually delivers on stage. The audience is accustomed to the high notes and original but crazy performances from the glass blower, so it was no mean surprise when she exposed a completely different self as she sang “Across the Universe.”

In an episode that was themed to be a tribute to Paul McCartney and John Lennon, Siobhan Magnus chose, steering clear from her kind of songs that litter the discography of the legends, the mellow and almost ethereal “Across the Universe.” Appearing on stage in a shiny, retro tutu and a zipper vest, she looked way different, and the surprises continued in her performance. Simon Cowell thought that she had made a fabulous comeback with the song, and Ellen DeGeneres felt that it was great to see the softer side of the artist. Randy Jackson felt that although her rendition of the song was somewhat sleep inducing, it was good.

However, it was what she said to Simon Cowell’s question was the part that touched the most. Asked why she chose this song, Siobhan Magnus said that it was for the line “Nothing’s Gonna Change My World,” which she said holds true for her sisters, who make up her entire universe. The tears were the added surprises, for Siobhan Magnus is generally known as a restrained personality on stage.
