Who You Are

Jessie J has a magnificent voice.  In every song of hers, she presents her voice in a remarkable and unforgettable way.

Well, I love her song "Who You Are" which is all about never losing who you truly are and that no one is perfect.  The song is so beautiful and occasionally makes me tear up.  To me, this song is one of the greatest examples of why she is an incredible singer and songwriter.

I was watching one video that my friend showed me where she is singing this song in a subway station in Times Square, New York City.  I want you to remember that she is singing this LIVE.  It's fantastic.

Hallelujah

I was watching old X Factor performances from both the X Factor UK and US.  I didn't watch X Factor US, but I remember how crazy people went for Carly Rose Sonenclar.  Her voice is incredible.  She was the runner-up in the second season of the show in 2012 but honestly deserved to be the winner.

In the live finals she performed "Hallelujah" and I get goosebumps every time I watch it.

Please tell me you did not get goosebumps watching that.  Flawless:  the word I will use to describe her talent.  She sounds absolutely perfect the whole three minutes.  Absolutely perfect.

The moment you have all been waiting for

Here it is!  I have uploaded my performance of "Operator" by Jim Croce onto YouTube!  Again, a big thanks to Cameron who agreed to play the guitar for me - he made my talent show experience so much better.  Please tell your friends and families about this video, I would love for it to go viral or possibly land me a record deal!

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me.  This would have never been possible without all of your help! XOXO

We are not the champions

I REALLY apologize for not posting for two whole weeks!  The past two weeks have been a little insane, but my life is now going to be going back to normal.  On that note, I would like to share with you all some news.  Last Friday I participated in my school's talent show.  Even though we did not place, (I am not too happy) in my opinion, we still did very well.  I really have my friend, Cameron, to thank.  He's the reason we did as well as we did.  When I first wanted to be in the talent show, I thought about how I wanted to sing acoustically but I had no one to play the guitar for me.  When my brother's friend brought up Cameron, I jumped at the opportunity to ask him to perform with me.  When he agreed, I immediately started thinking of some song ideas.  My first song choice was "Landslide" by Stevie Nicks, although we would have covered the Dixie Chicks' version.  Our song choice ended up being one of his suggestions, "Operator" by Jim Croce.  I am going to be uploading the video of our performance onto YouTube soon, so stay tuned for the video, as I will be posting it on here.  But because you have to wait, I'll give you a sneak peak with a picture!
