For many, the mere thought of speaking or performing in public can be the most terrifying experience imaginable.
A lot of us know it as “stage fright,” but on the School of Rock website they explain:
“There’s even a fun word for the stage fright “phobia”: glossophobia. Technically, it means “a fear of public speaking,” but it can be applied to all public appearances, including musical performances.”
Regardless of one’s talent, stepping onto a stage for the first time requires immense courage.
Angelica Hale, a past runner-up for “America’s Got Talent,” is proof of this.
She wowed millions with her incredible rendition of “Rise Up.”
However, she’s not the only one who has used this song to showcase her talent and surprise an audience.
A video from a school’s open mic event showcases another young girl’s remarkable talent.
Initially, she modestly claimed she “couldn’t sing well” and chose to play the piano in front of her classmates.
But oh boy, did she ever surprise them all.
Contrary to her statement, the girl’s singing was nothing short of breathtaking.
From the moment she hit the first note of Sandra Day’s song “Rise Up,” she captivated everyone in the room.
Students were so amazed in fact, that some of them let out little cheers at the beginning of her performance.
Many of them had their phones out recording, and it’s a good thing they did.
Her performance was so moving that it could give listeners goosebumps.
Not only did the girl play the piano beautifully, but her voice was off the charts – each high note sending waves of chills across the room.
The song itself is very powerful.
“Rise Up” by Andra Day has resonated with many since its release.
It speaks of resilience, hope, and the strength to overcome challenges.
The song has become an anthem for many who face adversity, serving as a reminder that with determination and support, one can rise above any obstacle.
Andra Day’s soulful voice and the song’s uplifting lyrics have made it a favorite for many, and it’s clear that the girl’s open mic performance captured the essence of the song, leaving a lasting impression on all who witnessed it.
The video of her performance quickly gained attention online.
It’s been watched on YouTube more than 2.8 million times and has over 36K likes.
Not too bad for a youngster who claimed she didn’t sing well… Turns out, the internet begged to disagree!
It was so impressive that casting agents began searching for her identity, eager to connect with this newfound talent.
At the end of the video, the girl’s classmates go wild with applause.
It’s clear that she impressed them all, and that’s not necessarily easy to do, especially when you’re a middle schooler.
There’s no doubt that students talked about her performance for a long time after that.
It makes you feel bad imagining the kid who had to go up after her – it was definitely a hard act to follow.
Thank goodness this girl decided to be brave and showcase her talent.
Going from everyone’s reactions, she clearly has a bright future ahead.
