I sang the song that I'm
going to sing for you now.

00:04.700 --> 00:05.000 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
And, you know,

00:05.966 --> 00:07.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
you get your adjudication
sort of sheets afterwards

00:07.466 --> 00:09.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and they tell you what
your score is and whatever.

00:09.633 --> 00:12.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And one of the judges
said, “Okay, you're great,

00:13.033 --> 00:15.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
but what could you possibly know
about the song you're singing?

00:15.500 --> 00:17.400 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
You're only 14 years old. ”

00:17.400 --> 00:20.233 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
And I was so offended

00:20.233 --> 00:20.800 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
because I

00:21.333 --> 00:22.666 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
had known from the time
I was nine-years-old

00:22.666 --> 00:24.533 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
that I wanted
to be on Broadway someday.

00:24.533 --> 00:27.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So I had studied this character.
I studied the show.

00:27.366 --> 00:29.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I knew what their objectives
were,

00:29.200 --> 00:32.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
what their wants,
the whole trajectory. I knew.

00:32.533 --> 00:35.533 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
So, I was very offended.

00:36.300 --> 00:39.400 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
Well, I'm 52 now

00:39.400 --> 00:46.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and I have no idea what I was
doing singing that song at 14.

00:50.500 --> 00:51.733 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
So I'm going to sing it

00:51.733 --> 00:53.700 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
For you now

00:53.700 --> 00:56.566 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and perhaps
you'll understand why.

00:56.566 --> 00:59.566 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
