Talent is talent, whether one is shy or social. Natural talent chooses us, but it’s up to us whether we show it off to the world or keep it to ourselves. A young woman by the name of Alice Fredenham was blessed with an angelic singing voice anyone would deem flawless. However, Alice was a shy girl with stage fright, let alone a fear to appear on a stage in front of thousands, and worst of all, being televised on national TV.
However, when the singer’s “Britain’s Got Talent” audition inched closer, she, while afraid she would mess up, went along with it. Standing out from other contestants, Alice opted to perform a popular 1937 classic known as “My Funny Valentine” from the musical “Babe in my Arms.”
The timid 28-year-old beauty therapist stepped on stage, admitting to the judges that she was not only scared, but that she intentionally didn’t tell any of her family or friends she’d be performing on the BGT stage, so they wouldn’t know if she failed. Even her body language tells us the intense anxiety she is feeling, making us a little nervous ourselves!
The woman admits that she has suffered from self-esteem issues in the past and she was afraid of what would happen if she didn’t make it and people found out.
