Congratulations to all on a very fun night! As usual, the location was beautiful and very well miked! I wish In Sync would have been able to see Powerhouse, but what can ya do?
Here's some of things I loved: New Spirit: You have such a pure sound and the Apple tree song is way cute. Pacifica's "Renegade" was soo good, especially the guy who yelled out "yeah!", Hart N Soul's "Love Shack" soloist and NATHAN LUSK!, Sound Waves' phenomenal acapella and "Supertramp"!, Out of the Blue, ...everything. I'm soo proud of you guys! Mark Keppel: "How Far We've Come" is so cute and inspirational, Chanteurs: "Pretty Woman" cracks me up every time; I love watching the guy with the fohawk! Chula: Again...EVERYTHING! You were jipted (sp?) and you know how Burbank feels about you! (We ADORE you, just in case you didn't know.) Hart: Do I even have to say it? Mighty morphin' Power Rangers! Having more than just one ranger is so brilliant, especially the terradactyl Kimberly pink ranger man. PS...You beat Clinton. Diamond Bar: You guys scared me so much with all your flips! But you definitely executed them well and now I don't have to be nervous the next time I see you :> Brea: "The Hills of Shiloh" is simply stunning. And the chimney sweep girls are so cute and talented! Last but not least: Our hosts! Vanessa and Abraham! You guys were too sweet and our goodie bags were SO GOOD.
Congrats again to ALL, and most of you at Burroughs after In Sync and Impressions heads to The Big Apple!
