Speaking personally, I hope one of the kids get picked (if Marie wins, I’d like to hear the Fairy Song, too). Kathy De La Cruz brings some interesting modulations in, Skyllar Evans offers the Miley Cyrus edition at a public event, and Ethan Yan and Jason Brady give us the Vienna Boys Choir interpretation.Īnyway, you’ve got until Sunday August 26 at one minute before midnight to cast your vote, which will “influence the judges who will make the final decision.” The Deciders: the San Francisco Opera’s General Director David Gockley, the company’s Music Director Nicola Luisotti, and KDFC President Bill Lueth. Anna rips into the line “rocket’s red glare” with particular gusto. Meanwhile, Adrienne Chan bravely takes on the high notes in the phrase “land of the brave,” while her younger brother Avery offers a bonus performance. Four year old Marie Catherine Campbell, for example, says she really wants to sing “the Fairy Song,” but her mother(?) gets her to croon what the she calls the “Fourth of July Song,” first. But the renditions by children and tweens are quite adorable. I’ll spare you the adult performances, except for this one, cheerfully belted out by a contestant who, for whatever reason, chooses not to face the camera while frying something in his kitchen. then select a favorite via the checklist on the bottom of the page.Īctually, I’m enjoying the videos, which should get top marks for enthusiasm, if not talent. “Listen to as many auditions as you’d like – just click on each singer to start the video”. It’s followed by YouTube style submissions by the competitors. “We need your help in picking who gets to sing live on the field before tens of thousands of fans that day,” the contest announcement says.
