This week I had an American Idol moment. I was a judge for the Talent Show tryouts for one of my schools. It was kind of under false pretenses because I didn't have any red x buzzers that I could push and we let everyone in if their act was rated G. There were many keroke singers and most of the songs were from the movie, Frozen. Then a little tiny girl approached the stage. She was nervous and when the music teacher asked her what song she was performing she quietly said, " The Cup Song" and she was singing without a soundtrack. This song is from the movie, Pitch Perfect which I've seen two times because my daughter keeps me hip. Well, I got my encouraging smile ready and then....she belted it! What a tremendous voice! You would have thought that Anna Kendrick herself was on stage! She had all the words down and in tune. Oh, and did I mention that she is only in first grade?! All the judges were speechless! I hope she remembers her old librarian when she is rich and famous!
