    Keala is so inspirational! She’s shy and gets anxious about performing, but she does it anyway because it’s what she loves to do, and she shines through every time. I relate to her as a person, and she gives me so much strength to keep working towards my dreams no matter what. Amazing!

      Totally agree!! Three stars were on that stage. It’s a shame there was no musical break so he could really cut loose and shine more with embellishments.

    i always come back to this because of how Anika Larsen sings "I'm" in "that I'm your baby". That slight note adjustment really changes the meaning of that line so much.
