Backstage, everyone around Tara Jameson seemed to have someone with them, a mom, a best friend, a whole family. Tara had nobody. She was 23, originally from Canada, and had moved to Dublin earlier that year to study medicine.
Before the audition she called her mom back home. Her mom said she wished she could be there and told her to hit it out of the ballpark. After the call, Tara admitted it was a little sad to be there by herself, but she said she could handle it.
On stage, she told the judges she was studying general medicine and hoped to become a pediatrician. One judge laughed that she would get to sing to the kids while giving them their shots, and Tara agreed 😄.
She sat at the piano and sang One and Only by Adele. Her voice was warm and controlled, and the theater went quiet as she sang straight to the judges 🎶. When she finished, the audience cheered loudly.
Louis said that was the way to do a perfect audition, and praised the song, the voice, the tone and the control. Another judge called it flawless and said he got lost listening. Michelle loved that she was really singing to them, and one judge said it was so polished it felt like she had been doing it for years. Every judge said yes, and the singing pediatrician went through ❤️.
