A estadunidense Kesha foi uma das cantoras a se apresentar no primeiríssimo Revolution Music Awards. A cantora fez sua performance em terras tupiniquins, mais especificamente no Cristo Redentor, o cartão-postal do Rio de Janeiro e do Brasil.
A performance se inicia na capela que tem instalada na parte de trás da base da estátua, Kesha estava em posição de reza em frente a uma cruz de neon, a cantora fica em pé, respira fundo e começa a cantar a primeira estrofe da canção, ainda de costas para a câmera.
Entrada da capela na base do Cristo Redentor
Well, you almost had me fooled
Told me that I was nothing without you
Oh, but after everything you've done
I can thank you for how strong I have become
Told me that I was nothing without you
Oh, but after everything you've done
I can thank you for how strong I have become
A cantora se vira, ainda na capela, encarando a câmera e canta a segunda estrofe enquanto andava para fora da capela, a câmera sai de perto dela e mostra a faceta sul do corcovado, com a baía de Guanabara, Pão de Açúcar e os bairros cariocas, que já começavam a se iluminar por ser entardecer no Rio de Janeiro. Kesha senta-se no guarda-corpos que ficava na beirada da ‘praça’ que cerca a estátua, cantando o refrão da música.
'Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell
I hope you're somewhere praying, praying
I hope your soul is changing, changing
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, praying
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell
I hope you're somewhere praying, praying
I hope your soul is changing, changing
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, praying
Então, dois homens-porco surgem, empurrando Kesha do guarda-corpos, fazendo ela cair do corcovado. Então, a cena muda para uma que tinha sido pré-gravada, a estadunidense ao ser jogada da montanha consegue segurar-se em um galho, simbolizando a única coisa que a impediu de cometer suicídio: a música. Então, várias borboletas de diferentes cores surgem, carregando a cantora de volta para a montanha.
I'm proud of who I am
No more monsters, I can breathe again
And you said that I was done
Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come
'Cause I can make it on my own
And I don't need you
I found a strength I've never known
I've been thrown out, I've been burned
When I'm finished, they won't even know your name
No more monsters, I can breathe again
And you said that I was done
Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come
'Cause I can make it on my own
And I don't need you
I found a strength I've never known
I've been thrown out, I've been burned
When I'm finished, they won't even know your name
Ao retornar, Kesha começa a andar em direção ao mirante do corcovado, enquanto cantava o pré-refrão. No fundo pode-se ver os dois homens-porcos sentados em banquinhos, enquanto um terceiro homem porco, que trajava roupas de juiz e a tradicional peruca branca num palanquim batendo o martelo. A câmera mostra o Cristo Redentor enquanto Kesha desce as escadas.
Peruca e roupa de juiz
You brought the flames and you put me through hell
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell
A câmera muda e agora mostra Kesha, no nível mais baixo do mirante, com um coral por trás da cantora, o refrão começa e vem junto os vocais mais fortes da canção, com o coral fazendo os backing vocals da cantora.
I hope you're somewhere praying, praying
I hope your soul is changing, changing
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, praying
Oh, sometimes, I pray for you at night
Someday, maybe you'll see the light
Oh, some say, in life, you're gonna get
What you give
But some things, only God can forgive
I hope your soul is changing, changing
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, praying
Oh, sometimes, I pray for you at night
Someday, maybe you'll see the light
Oh, some say, in life, you're gonna get
What you give
But some things, only God can forgive
Então vêm a tão esperada nota alta da canção, com Kesha atingindo a nota altíssima de F6. O último refrão é cantado e ao fim da música os membros do coral jogam para o alto as tintas em pó que aparecem nos clipes de Praying e Take It Off. Após isso a câmera, que na verdade era um drone, começa a subir, mostrando o Cristo Redentor sendo iluminado pelas cores do arco-íris enquanto Kesha e os membros do coral cantam uma música, acapella, ainda desconhecida pelo público.
I've found a rainbow, rainbow, baby
Trust me, I know, life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and play along with me tonight
Trust me, I know, life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and play along with me tonight
As tintas em pó no clipe de Praying
Ao fim da performance, a premiação volta a ser exibida.
