hey EVERYBODY STALKING. i was also at the gypsy lounge show and wanted to let you know that nerves take a serious toll on a singer..when u can barely breathe because ur so nervous its EXTREMELY difficult to sing! (im a singer too) ive seen that singer of Honey Pie in another band and she is very charismatic and does have a huge amount of talent. everyone else thought it was awesome sooo maybe dont be so critical..it was their first show ever, after all....

when you are nervous it is really hard to be charismatic..all you can do is focus on taking deep breaths in order to sing well since breathing is a huge part of it. she gets super nervous she told me when i said hello to her after the show..im sure it will get easier for her and the band as they practice more and play more shows. the band is confident..so is the singer..but its very possible to be confident yet still nervous when you get up and sing in front of hundreds of people :o
