Wow, Ron. Yeah I can definitely see that. That's just BS, and if she fumbled the lyrics no way should she have won. Period. Your daughter did wonderfully and she should keep plugging away at it. Incidentally, my daughter with the thick curly hair very much like yours also sings and she was very disappointed not to get into the musical in high school this year. The teacher doing the auditions later told her he wanted very badly to include her but she doesn't dance well and every part involves dancing.
