I sat on the stage. This was it. I looked up into the crowd I could see my dad, Mathew and his husband Billy in the second row, sat with Ashleigh and Jordan my two best friends and their mum Deanna and Dad Michael. I looked round the audience; thousands of faces all stared back. I took a quick look at the judges and immediately regretted it as another wave of nausea washed through my body.
The only light was on Josh McQueen, presenter of ‘Catch a Falling Star’ ‘And now ladies and gentlemen, some say leave the best until last but I’ll let you be the judge of that. Please put your hands together for Lexi Smith!’ He announced. There was a thunderous applause around me, I was so glad I was sitting on the piano stool or I’m pretty sure my knees would have buckled and I would be on the floor.
As Josh walked off the stage he gave me an encouraging smile and winked. The light shifted and was now on me. You can do this I told myself. I place my hands on the keys of the black, grand piano that sat in front of me and let them take over. As the first note of Ronan Keatings ‘If Tomorrow Never Comes’ I felt myself relax. This was the song I had sung in my audition and confident I could win with it.
‘Catch a Falling Star’ is a new reality TV talent show. Everyone that applied had to do an audition in front of the three judges. Then we were cut down to 21. Seven for each judge, we then had to sing again for our mentor with a song of their choice before being cut down to three for each judge and making it to the live stages.
To enter ‘Catch a Falling Star’ you have to be able to sing, dance and act. It was open to anyone aged 16 and over and the winner won a recording contract and second place won a place in a West End Show. Each week all the contestants would sing, act (a scene from a West End Show, TV show or film) and perform a choreographed dance routine that the contestants (with a little help from a professional) had choreographed
I played the ending chords to ‘If Tomorrow Never Comes’ and looked up into the audience. A thunderous applause erupted around me, everyone seemed to be on their feet.
I think i need to change the bit were i describe Catch a Falling Star but i don't know how to any suggestions?
Any other suggestions of bits to change?
Thanks
