Asia'h Epperson Audition

Asia'h Epperson previous post, entitled simply, Asia'h Epperson, introduced this blog to the world and pointed out what it is expected to achieve. This instalment will take a historic look back at the audition that this brave girl went ahead and did, despite the terrible news she was given. See how you feel about this.

Two days before she was due to do the audition, Asia'h Epperson called her father to let him know how much she loved him, as well as how much she wished he could be with her on her important day. It was only thirty minutes later that her brother called her. He told our favourite girl, Asia'h Epperson that their father had just been killed in a terrible car accident.

Well, despite the anguish of this awful news, she decided to go ahead and do her audition anyway.

Well, the notorious Simon Cowell asked her what she planned to sing. Asia'h Epperson explained to him that she'd prepared a song but, because of her father's sudden and shocking death, she had instead chosen to sing “How Do I Live,” originally done by LeAnn Rimes.

She got up there and sang her heart out. With a voice, heavy and at times cracking with the immense emotion she felt, Asia'h Epperson completed her song which was totally amazing to listen to.

While it may not have been perfect for this tough vocal audition, it was almost perfect in every other way imaginable. It was obvious that she has a truly great voice, but to add to her performance was a spirit and determination that lifted her head and shoulders above the rest.

When Asia'h Epperson was told she was through to the next round, Paula Abdul could not help but cry, such was the emotional scene before the studio and huge television audience across America.

At this point, there was no doubt in my mind that Asia'h Epperson would make it all the way to the finals.
