Stephanie, your rendition of Kander and Ebb's "A Quiet Thing" is simply exquisite. You are a tremendous young talent!

When it all comes true
Just the way you'd planned
It's funny but the bells don't ring
It's a quiet thing
When you hold the world
In your trembling hand
You'd think you'd hear a choir sing
It's a quiet thing
There are no exploding fireworks
Where's the roaring of the crowds
Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere
Way up here among the clouds
But I don't hear the drums
And I don't hear the band
The sounds I'm told
Such moments bring
Happiness comes in on tip-toe
Well what'd'ya know
It's a quiet thing
A very - quiet - thing

I also perform this song. Nice job! It is a very difficult song to get just right. It's so quiet, per the title.

I like the way you acted the song. Just one note: you may want to try another approach that has minimal to no gestures. This is one of those "what do you do with your arms?" songs, because it is just so quiet and still. Your voice is gorgeous, and your voice alone could do most of the work to deliver the song. Just a thought for an alternate approach to maybe try for this song.
