Last October I competed in the Sunnyside Idol and didn't even get to the top 10 :( However! I love to sing. So when I saw Tom (the karaoke guy for these competitions) and he told me I should audition again I was already planning the songs I would sing. I had to play it smart and see what I had done the last audition that didn't let me go to Finals. So for my first audition I sand At Last by the beautiful Etta James. Done and done! First round was over and I had made it to the Semi-Finals. This was the part that would prove difficult because I know that I have the most horrible stage presence. I completely get lost in the songs (which sadly no one knows in my generation, or it feels that way because HOWWWW do you NOT know Etta James???!) So I picked something more popular: Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats. I know it's a complete sellout in my part because I don't even listen to Carrie Underwood (no offence Underwood fans!) but her voice is beautiful and that song is crazy angry and powerful. So I learned it the day of the Semi-Finals and totally butchered the chorus (because everyone knows I didn't mention anything about a Louisville Slugger...). I still won :) Because it's a fun song and everyone likes it when you can belt out notes (WITH A REASON!! i hate when people belt out notes all over the place... we get it! We hear you roar! hehe)  So I made it to the Finals.

Finals are on me and I was so nervous. But I was surrounded by good people and even though I know I didn't do my best (I sang Mariah Carey's Hero) I still won :)

Good vibes <3
