You were singing an old Elvis song "Are You Lonesome Tonight," and you were horribly out of tune. You were delightfully raw and unrefined. You looked around and saw all the kids who had taken voice lessons and had training, and they looked at you with awe as you continued your song. The audience felt something different in you than any one else. You Were raw and real, and you knew the audience was with you, but at the same time you didn't care. This was about you.
