Recently, my little man was selected by his school to apply to audition for the International musical - School of Rock. Initially he was not so keen to submit an application because if he made it through it would mean traveling internationally for weeks at a time... without me. I explained to him that even if he did make it through, he could still decline and that doing the application and possibly the audition did not mean that he was committing himself to anything just yet.
So he decided to do it. Then, he decided not to do it lol - and last night, less than 24hrs before the applications have to be in, he decided to do it! lol So, needless to say, we had ZERO time left to really practice anything long term and the video HAD to be made today...
They have to submit a 2 minute video of them singing a rock or pop song - and considering that he had essentially NO practice time, I think he did a fantastic job of it!
Whether he gets selected to audition or not, I am still so very proud of him for finding the courage to do it in the first place! He did post the Dtube version on his @judethedude profile too :)
❤❤❤
Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx

Good for him 😍 excellent that he understands committing to the audition isn’t the same as committing to the performance 😉

He did a great job despite his mixed feelings. I can see why you are so proud. There's nothing like a proud mama. I'm delighted for you both.
He did good :)
Definitely a lot to proud of
All the best to your lil man <33
Thank you sweetie xxx
Ohhh he is amazing:) Great singing and he looks so cool and relaxed, he is a star:)
My little rock star! Thanks @georgeboya xxx
He TOTALLY nailed it! Nice vocal control - you'd never know he was conflicted about doing it, because he handled it like a champ! Best of luck with the application, and as I said on his video, they'd be lucky to have him in their production!
Thanks love! Yeah, he really does have an amazing voice. It was not the song I would have selected for him in order to showcase his vocal talent, but I wanted him to feel comfortable with the song and enthusiastic to do it so I let him choose and even still I think he did a really good job!

I saw the video - its really cool and also the way he has his hands in his pockets goes with the song :)
hahaha yeah, I asked him if he wanted to hold a microphone to keep his hands busy, but he said no I want to put my hands in my pocket hehe
Agh good for him - trying is the best to do and he sings beautifully. It is good to encourage your kids to do stuff -some they fail and some they pass but at least they DO something
So true! And that was exactly what I explained to him but the trying alone is an achievement. :)
I really love his voice.
Thank you love xxx He really does have a beautiful voice!
Besides being talented and brave you have a beautiful son, like not being proud of him!
He is indeed beautiful hon - inside and out! I am very blessed! xxx
I think he did fabulous with no practice time involved. He's a natural rocker! 👍👍
