Talk about bitchiness and showbiz....
Felicia went for her audition last week. I didn't know if she was singing or dancing for the talent quest competition...the teacher took the demo CD with vocals and didn't say anything, so she submitted it the day before the auditions, as requested. The poor girl had been rehearsing with the CD when the bomb came that it should be WITHOUT the vocals! Seemed like it was a SINGING competition!! Felicia only allowed me to see what she was doing for the performance the day before the auditions. She was singing AND "dancing" (read as some actions).
Now this is the bitchy part....when she asked her competitors/friends what they will be singing, they told her "Not telling, in case people take our music".
Wow...and this was only a school friendly competition....prize: to sing on stage.
Next, where did their mom buy music without vocals..."Not telling either"....
So Feli was practising with the vocals then since there's no time to get the song without the vocals (BTW it's "Hoedown Throwdown" from the Hannah Motana Movie) so she had to sing impromptu WITHOUT any music in front of 2 teachers and 1 staff manning the PC player.
Needless to say, she had stage fright...forgot the last part of the song and dare not "dance"...so it wasn't a surprise she was eliminated at the audition.
In true gungho spirit, she readily holds onto her dream to be a singer....but just in case, her backup plan is to be a teacher (which was her 1st ambition when she was smaller anyway).
Anyway, she got a foretaste of what the "glamour" world of showbiz is about.
Love
Theresa
