Jessica,

Your singing of “Arms of an Angel” was just beautiful. There was absolutely no undulation, to the pitch, of any of your longly held notes (they were purely solid). I think you should have been in the top 5. However, it doesn’t really matter. You’ve got the boost you need to keep right on going with your career, Press On! Do get some vocal training and learn to breathe through your diapham, and learn about phrasing. Remember, even Beethoven had a piano teacher.
