Last post I attached several “no's” to Jordan.
Last night she took each of those no's (oh my no's!!!) and turned them into big fat “Yes's!!!)
The last song was great and her emotion at the end was very touching and honest. As Simon said, she really did wipe the stage of Blake. Blake doesn't seem like he really wants it. Jordan looks so honesty moved at being at the Kodak Theatre, that my heart just melted all the more. And the girl has some major pipes. She has the star studded voice, yes, still green but summer is on it's way.
One odd thing I noticed. I actually watched the show after the fact and after her last number, I was so dazzled by the end that I replayed it about four times. You know, the last part where she breaks down crying. So I had pretty much memorized in my head how it went. So when they played the recap with the phone number reminders, they showed again the last moment of her last song and it was DIFFERENT. I think it was the rehearsal. Anyone else notice that?
As for me...
I need to dig deep and recover my passion for singing.
I think I have been taking it for granted and of late, I have not been singing that much and in my opinion, I kinda suck. I think that what I am noticing is that the only time I have been singing (of late) has been at open mic... last night I sat in for four songs to give Laura Freeman a break. None of the songs seemed in the right key... I did a Streisand parody of her singing “Bring Him Home” and it wasn't the right key and it went on forever and my hope that it would be funny dissolved into a pathetic puddle. Anyone walking in on the performance would think, “who is this scary middle aged GAY thinking?!”
Oh, how I do not want THAT persona.
Jason says I need to get a persona. I agree with him. I have never really HAD a persona. And until I do, I will flounder on stage.
