Wow!! Neal is gone.  I’m very surprised. I’m also surprised at how emotional I was afterward.  Neal hugged me after and said “no reason for words.”  And I just completely lost it.  My emotions were out of control for the rest of the night.  It was like I was holding all my feelings in for so long, leaving friends, loved ones, hanging your life for this competition.  It’s stressful, exhausting, exhilarating, your dream come true all rolled into one.

 

I can feel the competition changing for me a bit now.  I’m more confident, more focused, and in touch with whom I am as a performer and an artist.  I don’t feel anxiety or pressure to be somebody I’m not anymore. Our goal is to be the new lead singer of INXS…. not to fill someone else’s shoes. It’s taken us all some getting use to…knowing we’re performing for the world.

I’m going to have fun and do my very best, if my best isn’t good enough,  then at least I gave it my all and lived my Rock N Roll fantasy …with a smile!!!
