It was so great being on stage again! i had such a great time working with Christina and i have learned so much from her! I was still pretty nervous before my performance! There was so many things to think about! Number 1 those SHOES! ahh i was so nervous i thought i was gonna fall on my butt! haha and then the whole dancing and singing at the same time plus having to really entertain the audience and most importantly Christina! I have to say i had a lot of fun performing both my solo performance and the group performance with Team Christina AND Christina herself. I got very emotional before going on stage for Lady Marmalade. The fact that i got to sing with my inspiration was just so surreal. I have to say at first i was a little hesitant about singing blow, it has a lot of energy which i was happy about but it was hard for me to find a way to really show my vocals through it. After working with Christina i was very excited because she helped me make it more "me." When Christina got up in her chair while i was performing i was sooooo happy and it gave me so much more energy. Im still taking this all in, but i know that no feeling could ever compare with the feeling i get when im on that stage. :)
