For this most recent round, I ended up drawing #6 from the hat -- the final performer. I followed on the heels of 4 traditional ballads and a slow Alicia Keys number. And how did I follow? With my interpretation of an Alanis Morissette piece. Booyah, my friends. Booyah.
It's not my best performance by any stretch of the imagination, and I can blame only so much on the "German Funk" that is inhabiting my sinuses and throat this week, but still. I had fun, I noticed people grinning and singing along in the audience, and that's what it all comes down to. Well, that and that whole bottom line part -- I'm going to the finals. And for my next 5 minutes of fame, I'll be giving the judges the ballad they've been wanting out of me.
Oh, and listen closely to the chatter at the beginning... shortly after I get the guitar plugged in, you can hear Liam say, "Mommy's going to sing 'Ironic.'" Such a cool kid. (I believe he also said, "I gotta go potty" shortly after he said, "All done" and folks stopped clapping. What a guy.)
