2. Laila McQueen – “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” by My Chemical Romance
Laila McQueen is known as a scene queen with her goth looks and amazing music taste, so of course she’s going to do a full performance to MCR.

McQueen is so scene she’s on here twice. This blink-182 performance took us back to Warped Tour in the 2000s, and we absolutely love it.
