My ex-boss has a 16 year old daughter that just blows everyone away how well she plays guitar & sings.

Ive seen here sit in a corner of her dads store & sing while playing guitar (just bored) & all the customers started clapping.

She placed 2nd in the Arkansas State talent competition last year (she was nervous beforehand, unfortunately).

Yesterday American Idol was having tryouts in Little Rock, Arkansas.
She went, and she made it to the next round!
She made me a fan & I used to tell her dad he should pursue her talent!

She is in Denver, Colorado now for the next round.
Not going to mention her name (dont want to jinx her).

She has the talent & voice for sure (sounds like a very young Stevie Nicks to me).
Her guitar skills are jaw dropping.

Got my fingers crossed!

    Arkansas? Did first place figure out how to use a toothbrush on their own, without the owner’s manual?






    Sorry, couldn’t resist. :)



    Congrats to her! That is fantastic!

    The only talent I had when I was 16 was not getting arrested for all the stupid crap I did.

    She made it thru Denver & now goes before the actual judges!

    Good Lord, how many rounds are there? I thought she'd be eating supper over at Simon Cowell's house by now!



    You mean to tell me that those major rejects that are always shown on TV have already been through several rounds?!
