Tonight was the long awaited talent show, hosted and organized by the Black Student Organization, and if the title of this post looks anything like something you know, it would be Brian Mcknight's 6, 8, 12 song. I sang it.
It was a long journey getting there. I signed up for the talent show ever since.. like 10 days ago, but i just couldn't find anything to sing. WHen i finally found a song, i wouldn't be able to find a karaoke. I was literally frustrated. I decided i wouldnt cancel though, cause i knew it would all work out. The show was supposed to start at 8 pm today, and i only found out that i would be able to sing 6 8 12 at like 7 15 because that's when i got the karaoke.
I was nervous and all, as always is you know. Ive sang in front of huge crowds before, but every crowd is new and takes some getting used to. When i got up there, i relaxed and did my thing. I wasn't listening to myself a lot. i was just singing as it came from my heart. They say it was beautiful. And my heart loved it. it's been a while since i sang, so it was really refreshing getting on stage again.
It was a good show. People sang, danced, did yoyo stuff, blah blah blah. Very impressive talent show. No, i didn't win. The judges definitely didnt think was a Beyonce. (i'm not saying i was one either..lol.) After the show though, this judge walked past me, and in our conversation said "You did really good. As a matter of fact, you tied for 4th place."
HOLD UP. He really just looked at me and said i tied for fourth place?
Ok. First of all, did i need to know that? Why are you telling me that i tied for fourth place? lol... It's funny how people these days have no idea when to talk and when to shut up. You know, there are some things you just don't say. Like when you are a judge, and you see someone who presented and didnt win anything after the show, DO NOT tell them that they tied for 4th place. Whether it is true, or it is a lie. You don't have to try to make me feel better about not winning since you were a judge. I mean, there were 10 great acts. I'm not saying that I fully agree on who won, because i definitely thought that there were many acts that beat that one. What i mean is, when you're going into a talent show with a lot of great people, you don't expect to win. The truth is, i didn't expect to win. But that definitely doesnt mean that i think im a failure, or i dont think im good at my talent. If i didnt think i was a good singer, i wouldn't be singing at a talent show. It just gets real nerve wrecking sometimes, when you have an audience, and all eyes are on you. So no, that i tied for fourth place doesn't make me feel any better. Learn what to say and when to say it.
Next time you're a judge, keep your comments to yourself. and im not saying dont tell me. I'm saying, don't tell anyone. They do not want to hear what you have to say.
All in all, it was a lovely evening. I really really really enjoyed singing, and im veryyy glad that i did. If you know me, you'll know that i love to sing. Just doing what my heart desires. I should sing some more too... trying to overcome all the anxiety and nervousness.. lol..
Well, i got to get to some homework now. S/O to Danny Massaro who told me before the talent show to blog about it after. Truth is, i only blogged about it cause i remembered what Danny said. :-)
thats all about the talent show... as i do it.
