I know the great talent of all the women who have ever been on this stage, but I thought maybe I don't belong here. I always felt like I was pretending to be something else. My family moved around a lot when I was a kid, so I was the eternal newcomer, so I did whatever it took to make friends. Even when I started performing on stage, I always felt uncomfortable. I have no formal training or education. I still feel that way, even though I've had some great successes. But fortunately, I have people around me who encourage me to dig deeper and keep going. That's why I sing “Carry On Wayward Son.” It's about not giving up. I'm glad I listened to my wife after we made it to the Group B final. The tears of the crowd are making the child inside me believe that maybe I belong here. ”

So when I held my child for the very first time, my world changed.] Yes, in my case, I suddenly realized the impact of every decision I made. But it's not a perfect path.

That's why it's so much fun to be here. I have the opportunity to show people that I may not be what they think I am.
