best pop singer competition
so yesterday I competed in Sam Houston Race Park's best pop singer competition... OMG! so mind, blowingly frightening! there were 30 contestants & only like 6 move on 2 the next round. when i walked in, I saw these lil kids & all these ppl that looked like they would suck. um, 2 bad i was oh so wrong! there was this lil 11 yr old girl who went like 2 singers ahead of me, & i was excited 2 go after her b/c i thought she was going 2 b bad since she was sooo lil! um, she got up on stage, said she was singing Celine Dion's power of love, & then SANG LIKE CELINE DION!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg! she was sooooo good! everyone was cheering, their mouths were down to the floor, & their eyes were as wide as they could get. i started freaking out b/c there was no way in hell i could compete w/ lil ms. celine dion who had vocals beyond perfect, absolutely sensational stage presence, & crazy audience response. so i tried 2 calm myself down, thinking that no one else ahead of me would b good & then the girl right ahead of me gets up & sings natalie cole's inseparable (a rly good song that shows off range) & she belted it out! she was AMAZING!!!!! i was soooo petrified @ that point. i started 2 4get my lyrics, & just going in2 shock. so finally, it's my turn. i am shaking, everything i practiced went out the door. i couldn't move, my voice was shaking so i couldn't hold out my notes or reach my high notes but @ least i remembered my words :) ! lol & i actually sang! lol one lil kid, who was like 9 yrs old, was the cutest thing ever but he didn't sing. he got up & got 2 scared. i felt rly bad 4 him b/c he was the 1st one. so i'm just proud that i got up, remembered my words, & sang it somewhat decently. so i listened this morning 2 104 & heard the winners who will move on to the finals, & no, i didn't make it, but i didn't expect to so i'm not crushed or anything. but imma compete again next weekend & i think imma sing an upbeat song this time so maybe the dancing will ease my fright. i had sooo much fun, regardless of the fact taht i felt like i was gonna piss in my pants. lol
the singers there were rly good & i rly admire them 4 their amazing vocals. one guy sang michael jackson's rock w/ u & danced like michael jackson! he had the whole outfit, hat & shoes, & had the pelvic thrusts & kicsk & the whole shabang. he was freaking awesome! & another girl who was 9 years old (& yes, she beat me & moved on 2 the next round! lol exactly wat i hoped wouldn't happen) had this cute lil dance routine & was absolutely adorable. she was my fave b/c she was just 2 cute. another guy got up there & sang usher's u got it bad & sounded exactly like usher! it was amazing! i rly wish i had gone 1st so maybe i wouldn't have had 2 see all these amazing singers go be4 me, but w/e. u can't change the past & i definitely dont' regret anything i did that day. it was a freaking awesome experience & hopefully i'll have just as much fun, & mabye even win, next weekend. if u wanna come watch, just lemme know, admission is $3.00 & seats r $3.00. pretty cheap. hehe just the way i like it ;)
