Well the American Idol journey ended for me already today.
I did not get passed through to the judges.
Ken Warwick (executive producer) was on the fence with me.
They thought the first song was theatrical,
and then after the second song,
said I was good and they were sure I was great at what I do,
but lacked the charisma they were looking for for the show
(or something to that effect)
Of course I disagree when it comes to charisma.
I think I have plenty of that.
But it's out of my hands now.
I try to do a lot of praying lately,
which helps.
I only have so much control
and then I have to go with the flow.
So with this, I need to move on for now.
I have good things happening in my life.
I feel I am better equipped to hear "no" and take rejection.
More and more every day,
stronger and stronger.
And I am GRATEFUL for that.
I picked myself up and went to see John Legend in Coney Island.
Met my friend Charles Wood.
It was a free outdoor show and it was amazing....
He did a new song called "Dreams" (watch it below)
and some of my other favorites, including "Quickly," "Green Light," "Everybody Knows."
The whole show was just so great....I had never seen him live.
Whether he's playing or just standing/sitting and singing, his voice and musicality is just tremendous.
And his presence.
And he's not bad looking. Not at all.....nope....
The band was awesome, and the way they weaved in some covers.
It was all seamless.
My FAVORITE moment was when he went into a bit of "So High."
I love that song....so amazing...they really took it there!
And of course, for his first encore song, he did "Ordinary People"
and had everyone singing along.
It was a beautiful night....I wandered around Coney Island a bit,
did some "food therapy" lol.... (ate my feelings)
and headed home.
Now watching So You Think You Can Dance.
Goodnight!
