The first time I got the nerve up to do this I was sixteen years old at a big carnival. There was a Karoke contest and the prize was five hundred bucks. My cousin and I needed the money, we wanted to stay in this city longer so I went up to sing Celine Dions “Power of Love”. To get comfortable I asked my cousin to come and stand beside me. I started singing and was getting totally into it, people were stopping and staring-it was great. When half way through the song a big ass marching band passes by and drowns me out! I never won the contest-but it was loads of fun!
