Canadian Idol

Well, my daughter and about 4 of her friends learned yesterday that Canadian Idol was doing auditions in Calgary today, and totally unprepared and/or ready for the whole schamoley they all went down to audition today just for the heck of it. None of them got beyond the first rounds of judges of course (totally unprepared good voices or not, and they all have good ones) My daughter was told to come back next year Woo Hoo.

Most of the kids who get chosen have a background of having performed so they already know a lot about performance.

What a fun (and scarey ) birthday for her (24th today) Her and one of her friends also got a photo with Ben Mulroney (yeppers ... Brian Mulroney's son hosts the program )

Ever try singing when anxiety has your throat in a vise-grip? Ya hit high notes ya never hit before and you don't even have the volume to project it and the notes get hit when you aren't supposed to hit 'em I'm just totally impressed that they all did it scared and unprepared and are okay and laughing about it.

Wow folks ... I can't believe my YOUNGEST child is now 24 ... where the heck did the time go? Incredible.
