If at first you don’t succeed, try again. That was exactly what East End singer Lorenzo Thomas did this weekend.
This year, he gave it another shot.
Mr. Thomas’ rendition of Labrinth’s “Jealous,” which was among many songs that entertained around 300 concertgoers on Saturday night at the Eileene L. Parsons Auditorium, helped score him a trip to the finals along with 11 other young performers.
“I got encouraged by my cousin to do it, and I’m glad I did,” he said at the end of the night. “And I’ve had a great time.”
All told, the competition included 18 singers — two from each district in the territory — who took to the stage before a three-member judging panel.
At the end of each performance, the judges took turns giving feedback.
“I think it was an amazing competition filled with talent and great potential,” said Lincoln Ward, one of the judges. “They were all good; it’s just that some others were better.”
