Talent Show Pt.2

WE DIDN'T EVEN PLACE! It seems like all the good people that performed didn't win anything:

A couple of really good well-known rappers did this really good song that didn't win. (One of them even did a backflip, no hands). The other band that played, Human Hands, didn't win anything either and they even bribed the audience by suddenly switching from an indie song to a dark version of Candy Shop by 50 Cent, and throwing candy out in the audience. And then there were the two brothers, Kevin and Justin Goodwin, each doing their own song. While they received an immense amount of crowd support, they didn't win anything either.

The only good top 3 performance was a rap tribute to Derek Johnson. (Someone in our school who passed away last year.) It was made especially for the talent show and got a standing ovation by most people in the crowd, but it still only landed 2nd.

I didn't even think the other two in the top 3 would even place, an interpretive dancer and one of the billion singers that performed.

And now to us:

I thought we played the song perfectly. But afterwards, I realized that I messed up on one of the transitions (sweaty palms) and Ben later told me that he messed up some of the words. But nobody apparently even noticed this, so I really don't see what was wrong. I mean, people said stuff about how some instruments were way easier to hear than others from way up in the stands, but the judges were right next to us. We probably didn't place because of some stupid technicality.

Always next year...
