I was in the top 25 out of 149 entries. I sang “No Anger” and felt like I had a great performance. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to the finals. The winner, Phoebe Hunt, was phenomenal. She has a bright career ahead of her. Here’s a video I found of her on YouTube (this is NOT from the songwriter’s serenade).
