iPOP! in Los Angeles was a wonderful opportunity and an awesome experience! I loved it… every minute. I am so blessed. Where ever my music takes me, I meet the nicest people and make friends… lots of internet friends, too.
Did a little sight-seeing before the work started…
JRP Birmingham Team … we had a great time at several “boot camps” last fall and winter getting ready for iPOP! We competed with each other, and against each other during iPOP!competitions, but still encouraged and supported each other… that’s what friends do….right? Should I tell you now that competition was stiff? Oh ye-ah!

Evelyn (Oneonta, Alabama) and I were paired together during “boot camp” and did an audition situation-scene together. Fun to work with. We made each other laugh and it was hard to stay focused without breaking up!
Ethan and MaryJustice
Ethan (Addison, Alabama) carried away almost all the top male awards! He went to boot camp at first just to act, but when Whitney saw him she said modeling, modeling! He did and he won! He and his mom, Kathy are like family now.
I was blessed to place in the top ten in iSING! and top ten in TV Commercial/Beauty! Got 8 singing callbacks and two acting callbacks.
My Mom, Marcia, and me at the awards banquet.

Chris Brochu
Chris was an iPOP! “staffer” and helped contestants line up, etc. He helped me with my guitar…
Chris Brochu and MaryJustice
He said he does “silly” better than smiling in pictures … works for me!
This elegant dessert served at the awards banquet was yummy. In fact the whole trip and experience was yummy! I’m ready to go back! Back to school and rehearsals!
Hey, everybody, I'll be in Nashville tonight at The World Famous Nashville Palace singing with a bunch of Huntsville songwriters. If you're in that area drop in from 7 - 8:30 and say "hello!"
