Critique Essay

It was a bright summer afternoon at Disney world and they were having an open mic night, the cash prize was one-hundred dollars. My mother and Maya had told that they signed me up to performer because they knew it has always been my dream to become a singer. Maya has always had my back I’d never doubt her and she would never doubt me we’ve been through our ups and downs but I know that we would always bounce back from it all. We argued. For about fifteen minutes but they had persuaded to do it.

It was only two hours before the competition started and I realized that I hadn’t prepared a song. Why didn’t you prepare a song Iryanna? My mother asked. She obviously doesn’t remember that she didn’t tell about this whole competition until just about thirty minutes ago. Trying to think Maya had the idea to do the song Two Worlds Collide by Demi Lovato. We all knew that it was a perfect song because it fits my voice in so many ways. I performed the song for an hour and it is exactly thirty minutes before the competition starts and then my phone buzzes I take a look and its my cousins, they all wished me good luck.

The competition has started and the kids that went before me some were crazy talented and some weren’t talented in any areas that it made my ears bleed. I walked up on stage I felt like my heart was pounding so loud I was sure that the audience heard it. A fire burned in my lungs and pain all throughout my throat and I felt my hands shaking that I barely could hold the microphone. I ran off stage so upset and my mom and Maya had chased me. What happened back there? I'm scared, I never got rid of my stage fright the only place I perform is in my room in front of the mirror. You can’t let fear run you, my mother stated. Yeah you could always pretend that you’re in your room in front of the mirror, Maya implied. I agreed and went back on stage and did the best I can. I ran into Sabrina Carpenter backstage and told me that I had a great talent that most people lack and I shouldn’t hid it in my room that I should let it out. It was so inspiring because I was her biggest fan and to get the chance to hear that from her, I just felt overwhelmed with joy.
