The Cleo Junior Singing Starz Competion
by Sierra

Chapter 1

The most exciting thing in my life was about to happen. I sat backstage of the Cleo junior singing stars auditorium. I was amazed by the voices of these girls. They were all older than me.... That gave them an advantage. When they called my name I took deep breaths and stepped out onto the stage and adjusted the microphone. The music started to play, and I started to sing.


I wouldn't wanna be anybody else.
You made me insecure
Told me I wasn’t good enough
But who are you to judge
When you’re a diamond in the rough
I’m sure you got some things
You’d like to change about yourself
But when it comes to me
I wouldn’t want to be anybody else

Na na na
Na na na

I’m no beauty queen
I’m just beautiful me

Na na na
Na na na

You’ve got every right
To a beautiful life
C'mon

Who says
Who says you’re not perfect
Who says you’re not worth it
Who says you’re the only one that’s hurting
Trust me
That’s the price of beauty
Who says you’re not pretty
Who says you’re not beautiful
Who says


It’s such a funny thing
How nothing’s funny when it’s you
You tell ‘em what you mean
But they keep whiting out the truth
It’s like a work of art
That never gets to see the light
Keep you beneath the stars
Won’t let you touch the sky

Na na na
Na na na

I’m no beauty queen
I’m just beautiful me

Na na na
Na na na

You’ve got every right
To a beautiful life
C'mon

Who says
Who says you’re not perfect
Who says you’re not worth it
Who says you’re the only one that’s hurting
Trust me
That’s the price of beauty
Who says you’re not pretty
Who says you’re not beautiful

Who says
Who says you’re not start potential
Who says you’re not presidential
Who says you can’t be in movies
Listen to me, listen to me
Who says you don’t pass the test
Who says you can’t be the best
Who said, who said
Won’t you tell me who said that
Yeah, oh


Who says
Who says you’re not perfect
Who says you’re not worth it
Who says you’re the only one that’s hurting
Trust me
That’s the price of beauty
Who says you’re not pretty
Who says you’re not beautiful
Who says

When I finished the last note everything was quiet. Then slowly, everybody began to applaud. 
I went backstage and sat down... waiting for the winners to be called. After the last contestent sang, the judges called everyone out to the stage. A few people were eliminated... then a few more. Finally, there were 4 standing. "And the 3rd place winner is.......... Sally Munrow!" I was dazed.... I was 2nd place winner.... I had to be... I couldn't win this whole thing. As Sally got her trophey and $100, I sat there thinking to myself. " And Finally.... the Cleo Junior Singing Star 2008 is................................................................................................................... Lalalala.............................................................................................................................................
...................... SIERRA MAKOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone cheered. I couldn't believe I'd won. Suddenly roses were falling all around me. People cheered. I had won. I had  won. I have won the Cleo Junior Singing Stars 2008! Somebody handed me a tiara, trophy and &1,000 check. I put the tiara on my head. Flowers were thrown at me from somewhere in the audience.  I picked them up and put them in the trophy.


After, there was a celebration party. I was ushered to the stage and people took pictures of me. Sombody from the newspaper came to interveiw me. Somebody asked me to sing another song. "Yeah!!! Do it!!!" " We love you!!" people agreed.

So I had no choice but to sing another song.

Today was a fairytale, you were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand, and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale, today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale, I wore a dress
You wore a dark gray t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet
Every move you make, everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale
All that I can say is now it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face
Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around
Yeah yeah

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around
I can feel my heart, it's beating in my chest
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale................

Chapter 2

.......I woke up from my dream.

It was the day of the Cleo Junior Singing starz competion. I slid out of bed and put on some clothes. The rules of the competion were that we had to get ready there. When I got to the kitchen, mom had already made me breakfast. I sat down to eat. I was really nervous, I couldn't get much in my stomache, so I just ate a little and went to pack my bag. I got my good-luch charm -- A rock my best friend had carved into a star -- and put it in my pocket, then I brushed my teeth and put a pack of gum in my bag, and all my mom's makeup. I grabbed my shoes out of the closet and put them in the bag, and then got my hairbrush and dress. When I got to the kitchen, mom asked if I had everything and double checked. "The curling iron" She went into the other room and came out with a curling iron..............

                  The building was HUGE. The biggest building I had ever seen. Inside, we signed in, and got assigned a dressing room. My sisters all marveled at the decorations while I put my dress and shoes on. They were both a light pink, with gold accents. The shoes were high-heeled sandals covered in pink beeds. After, my mom curled my hair, and re-drew my face, while I chewed a piece of gum. I got my goodluck charm and put it in the pocket of my sweater-- which was black -- and I went backstage while my family went to their seats.

Chapter 3

When it was my turn, I stepped onto the stage, and the music started.


Everybody's waiting
Everybody's watching
Even when you're sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open

The tricky thing
Is yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers
Just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and keeps score

Keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open

So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far
But turn around (turn around), oh they've surrounded you
It's a showdown (showdown) and nobody comes to save you now
But you've got something they don't
Yeah you've got something they don't
You've just gotta keep your eyes open

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes

Keep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady
Keep your eyes open
Keep your aim locked
The night goes dark
Keep your eyes open

(Keep your eyes open [4x])

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping

Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open


The music stopped, and slowly, everybody applauded.
The music for my next song started, and I started singing.

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh. [x7]


After everybody sang their two songs, music started and everybody sang together.
 I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it
-
I thank you all -

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -



Chapter 4

Everything went just like my dream from then on. I couldn't believe I won! Reporters showed up, and I got spots on a whole bunch of shows and cafe's.
