Oh WOW! That's exciting. Hope she makes it.

Good luck to your grandaughter, Anna. What is she going to sing? It will be tough but she will never knows if she doesn't try!! Let us know how she does!!!!!

As of the moment she plans to sing The Rose .

After she graduated from high school she was going to attend the L.A. Music Academy but I think she just wasn't ready to leave home . She will be 24 Christmas Eve and those years can make a difference . The music industry is a hard nut to crack .

My dream is for her to sing back-up with Vince .

Wow Anna! Good luck to her - it's not a business I'd want to try to get into - it's just too rough but if that is her dream maybe it will come true. Sometimes miracles do happen.

Thanks to all who sent good wishes to my grand daughter,Anna . She didn't make it but I'll say this she would have never known had she not tried . They told her she had a unique voice but not what they were looking for . I am so pround of her for trying .

It took courage for her to go! I'm proud of her too!

My son-in-law's step cousin tried out last year in Dallas, and he didn't make it. He too has a beautiful voice and he wasn't what they were looking for.

Tell her to try next year - - - - SHE may be what they are looking for at that time!

And don't forget the other talent shows that are out there...American Idol isn't the only one these days...you have Nashville Star and America's Got Talent...I'm sure there are others, but those are currently the only ones I can think of.
