So for Day 2 of my 30 day Challenge I have to name my favourite song...... this is hard because I have soooooo many. But one that sticks out is When you believe - Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
Now this song is a fav for a few reasons, firstly I stan for both Whitney and Mariah. I have gone through some drama with both them ladies!!!!!! Secondly, when I was in high school, for our talent show, myself and my girl Michelle did this song. I was Whitney and she - Mariah. And yes honey child, we both could blow!!!!!!! We wore little black dresses, some cute heels and had the school choir as our backup!!!!!! We even had the spot lights on us. And let me tell you, I hadn't realized that as singing the Whitney part, I would be going up first........ lets just say, Michelle and I had a little courage juice back stage. Don't worry in Namibia the legal age is ........ never mind. We weren't legal, we were NERVOUS!!!!!!! But we killed it, hit all the high notes and Errything!!!!!!
Just to add a piece of sadness to this story, our talent event happened during the day, and I was trying to impress some guy (so I worked my butt off to look cute in my black dress) ANYWAYS, whilst I was on stage sanging my little heart out, he missed my show, because he was in the soccer team, and they were on the field warming up, thus the whole soccer team couldn't be in the hall!!!!!! I wasn't trying to impress 11 players just one, but the couch had it in for me, why else would he do me so wrong? We did have a packed hall just minus 10 players and a special guy. and we got some great reviews and standing ovation. We only practiced once with the choir but everyday for weeks Michelle and I practiced with our music teacher - more sadness, I lived close to school. How close, I hear you ask? Lets just say, when I was sick and I had to stay home, I could hear the school bells and smell the ham & cheese pies at lunch time plus I could hear the conversations. And if you shouted my name real loud I could holla back. Also, for some unknown reason, teachers and the person who controls the school gates think that just because you live close to school means you had to be on time or ....gasp...... even earlier?!!!!!! Ha, they must not have known about me.
Must. Find. Pictures!!!!!!!!!!
Ohhhh the movie The prince of Egypt was pretty good as well. But really for me, it was about Ms Whitney and Ms Mariah.
