A few months ago I saw you were coming to San Diego on July 28th and now you aren't??? This is my dream. I was soooo excited and now I am crushed because you changed the date, to you not even coming to SD I am 21 now and I ever since freshman year in HS my friends and family have been pushing me to go but I was too nervous to see Simon if I ever made it thru to him, now I was finally ready... guess I won't get that chance now

Everyone that has heard me sing believes that I can do it . I've had two jobs just to save up money for this and I know I can make it. There is no doubt in my mind. I would make it to hollywood because I believe in myself and I dont care about anyone who doubts me. please please please come to Chicago because I promise you that you will not be disappointed! please! por favor!
