Last night had to be the single most surreal evening of my life to date. It seems like one moment I was standing in the bathroom at Eddie's Attic, elbow to elbow with ticket holding concert goers putting on my makeup getting ready to play a show in my favorite listening room and next thing I know I'm on a stage in a huge arena singing to Adam
Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo and Blake Shelton! And then they said really nice things to me!! I don't really remember many of the details of what I did during my 90 seconds in the spotlight, and I'm pretty sure I just stood there gaping during the whole chat-with-the-coaches segment, so I'm kinda looking forward to seeing the show just so I can know what happened!
I am grateful to Christina and Adam for turning around while I sang, and for beaming such warmth and positivity my way. Christina's
energy was very maternal, nurturing and supportive, and really helped
give me confidence to finish the song in an upright position! I can
honestly say that as a hard working unknown folk singer, face-to-face
with Christina Aguilera
is a position I NEVER expected to find myself in. I'm certain that I
could have spent weeks debating the choose between coaches, and having
to make the choice in 10 seconds was incredibly hard! My gut pulled me
towards Adam
because, as a singer/songwriter, it feels like a good idea to try and
get to know someone who makes a living singing songs they write. I know
Christina has been involved in the writing on her more recent records, but it just feels like Adam's career is more similar to what I'm going for. Ugh! See how hard this is?? Hopefully Christina will have no hard feelings, cuz I can tell you right now I would never want to be on her bad side ;-)Anyhow, I'm on cloud 9 today. I woke up re-playing the whole audition in my head, from the creepy, silent walk onto the stage, to walking off and hugging Adam as I tried to remember where the door I was supposed to exit from was hidden. I still kind of can't believe any of it actually happened. I'm really excited about what the next few weeks will bring! Thanks for swinging by the blog, I'll be posting as much as I can to keep you guys in the loop. Feel free to hit me up on twitter or swing by my FB site and get in touch! I'd love to answer questions or make friends!
