My friend JD decides to put on a charity Karaoke competition, which basically turned out to be the party of the year for Ave Maria. I had such a good time there that night as everyone did. He had jugdes that critiqued you after your performance, similar to what American Idol does.
My song for the night was
Finch - What it is to Burn
. And basically I was the opening act. So immediately I downed my long island to get the jitters outta me. For sure none of the judges had ever heard this song and it begins with a horrendouse scream of "SHE BUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRNSSSS!!!!!!!". That totally got the attention of the crowd and I actually didnt sound too bad. I was having a lot of fun doing my Brandon Boyd rocker dance and at one point I fell on the ground (people thought it was part of the act, but the reality was that the long island took over). For me its a really emotional song, that I love. Overall, the judges were pretty amazed at what the hell I did. But there were a few that didnt like my selection. For the most part the crowd thought I rocked the house. Certainly I at least got there attention.
Susan and her friends did a Divo song and definitely shook their asses. They were a bit shy on the vocals, but I enjoyed their performance.
Other highlights of the night was Dan singing "Sex Bomb" to a bunch of religious law school students and professors. He even shocked me. It was the thing that everyone was singing for the next few weeks.
I had such a good time that night, but would have had a better time, had I WON!
