Package Voiceover: “Being in the semi-finals is kind of surreal. Now I have to say, fame was never my goal. I honestly thought I was going to be a pediatrician. But I wanted to act. I didn’t realize I had to live in a fishbowl to do what I love. It set me back. And be a lot more personal. Becoming a goldfish unleashed a very fun, funny side of me. Honestly, I can only see a few people in my life. And it was a lot of fun. Coming from a woman who once wore a prom dress to an awards show, this is everything.. the gown, the gils, the glam. Tonight I sing 'You Know’ by Alanis Morissette. I’m here to remind you that I want a place in the finals. Placing that gold mssk trophy next to my others means everything. Oh, and I’d like to take the microphone too.

Package Voiceover: “Standing here in the semi-finals is an absolute statement for me! Because I’m not as young as I used to be. But the clock was really fun, and it reminded me that after all these years, mom still got it! But it was also a challenge. When I was younger, I had stage fright so my knees would tap under my bathrobe. I had to learn how to connect with the audience through eye contact and a smile. Now, this mask takes it all away! So I had to connect in other ways. This dress wasn’t made for moving, but that didn’t stop me! See, I wanted to do masquerade to introduce myself to a new generation. Making it this far was a real treat. So now, I’m going to sing and dance and go to the finale.
