Melanie Martinez - Dollhouse | Live @ JBTV

Singer and songwriter Melanie Martinez performs her hit single "Dollhouse" at JBTV Studios. After having great success on the popular televison show, The Voice, in 2012, Martinez went on to release music of her own. Many of Martinez's songs have a creepy or haunting sound, in fact, her song Carousel was used in the a preview for FX's American Horror Story: Freak Show. "Dollhouse" is the title track of her 2014 EP and the second track on her debut album, Cry Baby, which was released in 2015. The lyrics reference a dollhouse to tell of a family that appears perfect but has many issues underneath the surface.

Check out the lyrics to Dollhouse:
Hey girl, open the walls, play with your dolls
We'll be a perfect family.
When you walk away, is when we really play
You don't hear me when I say,
"Mom, please wake up.
Dad's with a slut, and your son is smoking cannabis."

No one ever listens, this wallpaper glistens
Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen.

Places, places, get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces.
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains.

Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains.

D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees.
(D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees)

Hey girl, look at my mom, she's got it going on
Ha, you're blinded by her jewelry.
When you turn your back she pulls out a flask
And forgets his infidelity.
Uh-oh, she's coming to the attic, plastic,
Go back to being plastic.

I like how her voice isn't very different in live shows then when she does music videos she's just so talented!

I love how she started out a bit shy and nervous, and then BAM at the second verse!
