“Performing at the House of Blues was so awesome because you know, everything before a showcase was just performing in front of each other and the judges so it was like you sit in the big theater, there’s like no seats except to the left there’s all the contestants and in the middle there’s the judges. They’re just staring at you. But this time was just so full of energy, all the people were screaming and you just feed off of their energy and you just feel good, you feel confident, so I loved that performance so much. It was a ball.”
