I agree. Had it not been for P and his HCUDCMA, she may have never surfaced.

Chile, you better go to the health food store and get you some Rescue Remedy drops so you can open your mouth and SING confused no no no! no no no! no no no!

Back in the day these kind of opportunities only happened amongst a very closed, elite group of people in the industry, or by word of mouth reccommendation. They're practically dropping an open door audition into people's laps with this...go for it! cool

original song? why? so she could steal songs? Why can't it be an accapella of her own material, wouldn't that make more sense?

I really need to break out of this habit of being painfully shy. It only hurts me in the worst ways! disbelief

the site said cover songs are not allowed, which probably means her own songs not allowed

I'm reading the rules, and I can't enter cause I'm not in the US. WTF? I'm not a big fan of hers though I think she's one of the better younger artists today and I like her first 2 CD's, but it would have been a big break for me.
