TIT for TAT #3

I went to my first big concert a couple of weeks ago. I had been to a show at Easy 5 (a much smaller, jazz cafe), but I wanted to know what a big production was like.... I have to say I was a bit disappointed (so I won't say the name of the singer). The singing was fine but the production was boring, with too many breaks where they'd show a video with the singer talking in a melancholy voice about love and high-heeled shoes. "My High Heeled Shoes" was the theme of the concert, which I thought was pretty silly - though she did wear some kick ass shoes. Overall, I thought the production was more distracting than anything. Maybe they were trying to distract us from the fact that all the songs sounded the same, especially the slow ones (she did about ten in a row)!

We left before it was over. I'd take Julia Peng at Easy 5 over this any day of the week...

Update

Hi everybody! I know it's been a while since my last post, things have been a bit crazy. I ended up being voted back onto the show, which is cool, but life has not been super easy. I've been living out of a suitcase for 6 weeks, trying to find a way to make steady money, feeling homesick and just plain tired a lot of the time, so it's been hard to concentrate on singing. But I know that we create our own happiness (and our own sadness), so I made a new determination to be successful, positive and hopeful no matter what! And what happened? Two steady jobs, some paid singing gigs and a more comfortable place to live... The weather has even become more bearable - no more stifling heat - YAY!

Things are definitely looking up.



These people wanted to take pictures with me, even though I lost that day.... so cool!
