As I said a few posts ago, I was at her performance as a particpant of State Games of America. I thought she was great! I wasn't able to get video, because I didn't have my camera, and my cell phone only films 15 second clips. And for some reason made her look further away than she actually was.
She sang three songs...the two that she mentioned in her Twitter, and another one that she said she wrote, that I didn't know.
She talked briefly, comparing her experience on Idol to the athletes who are participating in the games, about following your dreams, etc. She seemed really nice.
After attending this competition for 5 years now, this is the first time we've had entertainment that kept my attention at opening ceremonies! I'm just an Idol fan in general, so it was really cool to see her perform.
Oh, and Cheryl...thanks for the good luck wishes! I didn't skate this time...I am mostly a coach. I had six students competing here. A few medals have been won, but most of all we are having a blast!
