well, here i am, week 4. so happy i've made it this far. it's a definite challenge to sing opera; i feel like i've been running a marathon! we only have saturdays off, then back at it on sunday for the next song. not sure what's going to happen if i make it into the semifinals or finals? i would imagine we'd be singing a few songs in a nite if there are only 2 or three of us. we shall see, it will be a surprise. but then, it's all a pleasant surprise as it is. i wasn't sure i'd make it past week one since i've not been in the public eye over here in the uk for quite a long time except for a few small [but great!] gigs that i've done since my jewel album. but i'm so grateful that people like what i'm doing and are supporting me, fantastic!
v. sad about jimmy osmond going last week though. i have to say, he is one of the coolest, most down the earth, genuine people i've ever met in show business or just in general actually! we shared a car a few times on the way to itv studios on the days of the show the past 3 weeks. always sweet, always supportive, humble, kind, you name it. i think he's very talented too. i know he's fine with going home now, he hasn't seen his little children for about 4 weeks now, that's a very long time. but, he will be sorely missed here.
well, could be time for a nap, guests are coming over in a little while.
love and gratitude, always;

GO Marcy! Really enjoying the show and so is my Dad who is 80 :) You are his favourite :)
I think you'll win Opera Star.
your singing of casta diva was quite beautiful. Your voice has more top than opera singers are allowed by their voice-coaches, which is thrilling. (K.Jenkins and A.Netrebko are two examples of too much 'covering' which creates a bland tone.) Your phrasing and dynamics were moving.
I hope you are offered an appropriate aria next week not like 'queen of the night' which was a totally ridiculous choice, though you made a creditable job of it. In Butterfly I loved your timing. Ave Maria was not great and I think you realised it.
You are, for me, the best though Kym runs you close.
