Betsy and her very proud Dad Jimmy
I just had to put a couple of pictures of our wonderful little friend Betsy who came third in the Junior Category of the Solo Idol Contest. She was fabulous and I'm sure you will agree she looks adorable in her Solomon Flag outfit.
I have to say I am pretty glad the competition is over for the year. I have attended every heat and the grand final was a marathon of an event that went for 5 hours (yes 5 long, very hot, painful hrs)..and that didnt count the 1/2 hr queue just to get in. There were 28 singing items, 1/2 a dozen dance groups and alot of elimination banter in between!!! Was all worth it though to support Betsy and her family. The crowd is incredible - entertainment enough in itself as everyone cheers for every high note and dance move and gets hysterical over any funny items!!
We were very enthusiatic supporters with our banner and lots of screams but were outdone by Betsy's Dad Jimmy who danced and yelled waving his banner the entire time Betsy sung..was a great spectacle.
Jimmy tells me they will be back next year chasing first prize...and I suppose we will be there too!!
