Sen gets emotional with his Gala night piece

August 25, 2008 1:23 PM

For the next Gala night, the scholars would have the authority to choose their songs on the condition that it should be close to their heart and it has the power to transform their audience. All instantly scribbled their favorite pieces and soon presented these to the mentors. While the others seemed detached with their song picks, Sen got emotional with his.

Among all his choices, the Cancer Survivor decided on His Eye is on the Sparrow by Lauren Hill. Even before he demonstrated his pick to the class, he broke down in tears. The song reminded him of an experience from the past and he couldn’t help but get emotional. Teacher Kitchy sympathized with Hansen as she brushed off a tear.

The mentors then set that moment as an example to the scholars who had a hard time making a decision. Like Sen, the piece should showcase their feelings and their capabilities. One crucial element was that they themselves should be moved by the song to be able to affect their listeners.

As the scholars thought of these, Teacher Monet expressed his observation of them. It seemed as though tension was brewing in the Academy and the atmosphere was quite heavy. Bugoy particularly seemed to isolate himself from the rest. How did the Farmer’s Son explain himself to the Voice Mentor? Could this occurrence be the effect of the nearing Top 6 declaration? Don’t miss the events in the Academy on Uberture!
