Nothing distinctive about it for
Me, and the problem is you were
Boring.
okay.
So nerve-racking to audition
In front of the judges because
They're such these prestigious
People in, you know, the music
Industry.
And to have them sit there and
Watch you--you know, I'm just

It's definitely nerve-racking.

this is it.
For me this is the last time.

They can go try it again.
I don't plan on trying it again.

Baltimore ever, so...
Just coming here is just--
It's difficult, but you're here
For a reason.
I feel like I'm living a dream
