Sierra singing "Hero" by Mariah Carey, which won her the title of American Idol!
First here are some rather entertaining auditions! Here are two PS22 Chorus members of 2005-6, Cynthia (singing Mary J. Blige's Real Love) & Russell (being Russell!)
The next video is from the semi-finals round. Here I get ambushed by contestant Shiva, who was auditioning in the comedy category! I must say, he got me good! But I get MY revenge about two minutes into the video, when some little boy comes into the auditorium to give me a cupcake for his birthday! And boy, revenge was never so "sweet"!!!
Another video from the semi-finals round! The amazing Ben (whose performance of Kirk Franklin's "Now Behold The Lamb" has gotten over 25,000 hits on the internet) performs, "Not Guilty (Thank You Lord For Saving Us)" by John P. Kee and The New Life Choir. Ben is one of the greatest talents to ever come out of the PS22 Chorus! And I'm happy to say he is still singing, and sounds better than ever! Enjoy him here in his fifth grade year, and at the top of his game!
Here now is first grader, Shawn, singing his awesome version of Take Me Out To The Ballgame. Poor Shawn, he planned his act meticulously from beginning to end, and as it happens in show business, NOTHING goes as planned! Didn't matter though -- it made his act even more hysterical and adorable! And he ended up winning the title of Extreme Junior Singer (kindergarten through second grade) American Idol!
Here third grader Mariah sings Lumidee's hit song "I'll Never Leave You (Uh Oh)", and rocks the house!!
Ziha sings an incredible version of Simple Plan's, "Welcome To My Life"!!
And here we have fourth grader Alexa singing a fantastic rendition of Michelle Branch's "All You Wanted". Her sensitive performance and unique timbre won her the title of American Idol in the Junior Singer category (third and fourth grade).
And finally, here is the amazing Sierra, with her title-winning performance of Mariah Carey's "Hero" at the American Idol 2 Competition! Sierra literally had the crowd roaring with enthusiasm and thunderous applause! Safe to say, SHE NAILED IT!

Hey Mr.B! We did really good on our report cards. We are all proud:D Guess what,we auditioned for a childrens choir at our school. We are singing at the gray towers in milford. We had our 1st practice on wednesday,we only have two more practices left. For one of the songs we are singing part of silent night in the end. I think this is going to be fun. It's like old times with the chorus from last year. Well, thats it(I should stop writing or you will be reading this for 2 days)

oh man, that's not fair! i wish i could see you sing at your graduation! you had such a great voice, and yeah, i remember you were VERY shy about singing alone in front of other people. it's great to hear that you're gaining the confidence you should have in your amazing talent!
yeah, we had a great year indeed -- mrs. burns and i miss you too, and it was so great to see you the other day! i hope you will continue to visit, cuz i really miss you guys when you graduate. it means so much that you guys come back, and that's one of the most rewarding things of my work. i really do miss you guys when you graduate.
hope you found all of your old videos. i have a long post with a lot of songs from your year. i am DYING to find the video of your holiday show. that's the only holiday show i've ever done at ps22 that i can't seem to find. :(
anyway, great to hear from you, and congratulations on your upcoming graduation. you'll have to tell me how the performance goes -- how cool that three of my chorus alumni are singing together! i want every detail!
:)
