I am a 20 year old college student, born and raised in Fairfax County. Ever since I can remember, my 18 year old sister Michelle has been singing her brains out. She is an incredibly talented and dedicated vocalist who plays piano and guitar. I love her and all I want is to share her talent with others so that she can achieve her dream of being a recording artist.

One of my first memories of Michelle singing was when she was only 4 years old. I remember Michelle practicing diligently for her preschool graduation, where she and her class sang 'What a Wonderful World.' Ever since, Michelle's life has been 24-7, 365 music. As a child, Michelle participated in school and church choirs, school plays and performances, swim team national anthem performances, and in any other opportunity to perform she could get her hands on. When Michelle attended Rachel Carson Middle, she sang in Chorus both years and attended many solo competitions. Michelle took guitar and piano lessons in her early years as well.

Michelle's singing career continued as she got highly involved with the Oakton High School Choral Program. As a freshman, Michelle was in the advanced women's choir and by the time she was a senior she was in several different ensembles, lead the women's a Capella group, conducted different choral groups, and many more achievements.

Currently, Michelle is enrolled and taking courses leading to an Associate's degree in Music at NVCC. She takes private voice lessons and is a member of the Northern Virginia Women's Chorus.

Apart from her academic music endeavors, Michelle finds every single opportunity to showcase and share her talent in and passion for music. Michelle practices with other instrumental artists who have the same musical interests and endeavors. She has a youtube channel on which she posts viewer requested song covers.

In November, Michelle and our family traveled to New York, NY where she tried out for America's Got Talent. Yesterday evening, she received a call from a producer saying they were going to review her youtube page as a last deciding factor for whether or not they will admit her to the next round. I have been spreading the word over facebook and twitter to all of my friends and followers to drive traffic to her youtube page.

I want nothing more right now than for my sister to achieve her dream of being a recording artist. She works so incredibly hard and is so talented. She has grown into a woman that I am so proud to call my sister. She is kind, funny, beautiful, talented, and dedicated.

The world needs to hear Michelle's voice. For the moment, I will start small with my home town that I love so dearly. Fairfax, Please watch Michelle's videos, spread the word, and be a part of helping Michelle achieve her dream. Thank you so much.

Most Sincerely,

Emily McHugh

P.S. Michelle has no idea I posted this. When we were younger, I did not support her passion and dedication for music. In the past few years we have significantly improved our relationship and I now could not be more proud of her. If she saw that I posted this she would probably cry, as this is far from my attitude toward her singing when we were younger.

Get a blog!

And a facebook and myspace page.

Thank you for the advice. Perhaps I will get a blog or advise Michelle to get one. I have never posted on a forum before, so my apologies if I break etiquette. I just went to this forum because it is one I am most familiar with and the local segmentation is beneficial to my purpose.

Are you kidding?? Theres no need to be rude. If you really didn't care, you wouldn't even take the time to respond like you did. And you know what, I'm sure you read the story anyway.

Trolls will be Trolls. I am just trying to support my sister. Thank you for the comment though, those drive traffic. :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSlDr3-9d18&feature=related Here is Michelle's cover of Grenade by Bruno Mars. This is one of my favorites.

She's ok. Kind of plain - no spark. Needs an image of some kind. Maybe she can get on one of the Disney Channel shows like Selena Gomez and the others.

I think she is great! she is still young and is probably searching for her image. You go, Michelle. I really like the unusual you cover.

Maybe she is searching for her image but without it she's just another nice voice which isn't enough in that business.

At least when we debate it here she keeps popping to the top of the list and gets more visibility.

Thank you all for the views and comments, wow!

As for Michelle's image:
Michelle loves all kinds of music and enjoys performing in many genres. She is incredibly versatile. That being said, she is aware that dabbling in every area may muddle her "brand" if you will. Michelle has starting writing songs, and i think this will help her settle into who she is as an artist.

Again, thank you so much for the views, comments, feedback.

All I can say is that the streets of NY and elsewhere are full of young talented singer/songwriters with an open guitar case hoping the millions will fall in there. Even the various metro stops display this sort of talent.

She needs an agent who can direct her and perhaps build/find her niche.

Good Luck!

Boy, the McHugh's have incredible ego's. Emily really is causing a commotion over Michelles mediocre singing.
You could go anywhere , church, the mall, some bar, and find someone who can sing as well, probably better.
For success as a singer , not only would Michelle need a better voice, but she'd need some charisma , some character, or at least be a really hot piece.
Sad to say, Michelle has none of the above and the eyebrows of a Russian dictator to boot.

She does sing well and she is a very pretty girl.

Save yourself the degradation next time though and just post the youtube vid with a sentence or two.

A horrible hype man like yourself can ruin her credibility with the blabbering neverending life story you posted.

LIAR!

Joking aside, her voice is nice enough to escape mocking, but she shouldn't break the piggy bank to attend American Idol auditions. Sorry.

Thank you, everyone. Michelle has had a lot more traffic to her youtube. The popularity of her videos will help Michelle in making it to the next round of America's Got Talent. While I don't appreciate and didn't expect so many rude comments, I am thankful that this forum has at least been of some benefit to michelle. I just wish I knew how to delete it. :/

You should have done your homework before you put your sister on here. Now when anyone googles her name this site will come up.

Your sister now has ZERO chance on being America's Got Talent.

Great job of not asking her first too. She must be so happy with now.

I'D HIT THAT ASS, IF IT IS ANY CONSOLATION.

You botched. Your sister will forever be on this forum. And we will forever discuss her plain looks and lack of incredible talent.

- Sucks to be you!

Michelle should hook up with 10inchdonkey.

OP and eesh are a fag.

SPEAKING OF PLAIN, SHE LOOKS GREAT WITHOUT MAKE UP.

I like how she tries to pull the spanish accent into the song. She's pleasant I suppose, but definitely not anything special. You shouldn't be so ignorant about the internet though, as it is a pretty dangerous place to post people's shit. So what info do we have.

Name: Michelle McHugh

Posted both twitter and youtube. Thank god for your sake that she has no traffic tickets or someone would have posted your home address up, cuz that's the way people on this forum are.

Honestly, you should tell her to focus on school, because it will be more valuable in the end for her. Only chance she has of making it famous is if someone starts stalking her and goes missing cuz of you. Sounds like a prick statement, but it's the truth.

Love how no talent blog hawks pick on a teenage girl and her aspirations. Real manly. Hope the girl succeeds.

Please... she's not going to succeed. At least not as a musician. Maybe she can use her "talent" to ensnare some unsuspecting guy.

Mediocre at best.

Stupid sister too... opening the door:

Michelle, you're incredibly talented, but more importantly, you have passion, something a lot of people lack. I do hope you plan to go to college, but don't give up the dream. You can do both. Good luck!

How do you know she has passion? Maybe she's just in it for the money. Also, it's kind of disrespectful that you don't consider NVCC to be a college.

Whatever. I never said NVCC isn't a college. I didn't read the whole letter, but opted to go directly to the youtube video - & it's pretty obvious she has passion. Rarely do people who are in anything for the money do it through the arts. But so what if she is. Passion can be driven by the desire for money, fame, or for the love of it.

Passion without direction is dangerous. You shouldn't praise people just for being passionate. White supremacists are passionate, but wouldn't tell them to "go for it"

Muslims are passionate about jihad, and I wouldn't tell them to "go for it" either.

Uh, hello, we're talking about a girl & her dream. Don't stray...

I can have a dream too, but it's not about "singing" her brains out.

A girl and her dreams of jihad. Frankly, I don't appreciate the song she sang about murdering Christians.

Yeah, it was pretty stupid to put all that information up here. Took about five minutes to find out all about you, your family, your dad's business, home address.. etc. At your age, you should know better than to post such information. Maybe next time I'm in Herndon I'll pick up a case of Heineken and go fishing with your dad. Don't worry, I won't need directions.

Have you told your parents yet about what you posted on here?

I would.

Wait till the creepy guys come to your house to say hello.
