Devon Barley's blog

The 19-year-old former choirboy from Massachusetts is studying pre-medicine in college. He originally attended the show's open casting call just to support a friend who was trying out. But Devon's talents were obvious, and soon he was on his way to the blind auditions and the dream of a professional singing career.

Cabin Fever = Friendships

The cabin fever is here!  I never thought that I'd ever say, " I need to get out of this hotel", but I did today.  The hotel is great, but being stuck in the same hotel for any length of time gets pretty bad.  The same food, same atmosphere and same mini shampoos and soaps are all things that are driving me a little insane!  The one good thing about being stranded here is that it gives me time to do things I don't normally have enough time to do.  Playing piano, practicing singing, working out and getting pretty good at poker have all kept me busy enough to stay sane.  I've also been able to meet some pretty amazing people.  Being stuck in a hotel has really allowed me to break out of my shell and just be myself to get know people.  Being stuck in a hotel also doesn't allow anyone to go very far, so I think I've done the most bonding in the shortest amount of time in my life! This makes it tough though because we know that at some point, each of us has our time to go.  Although it sucks, I think we all find comfort in knowing that we've made some pretty amazing friendships that will last a lot longer than our time spent here.
