Sashabaw Middle School student Abigail Mundy,10, wowed the crowd during Clarkston Idol competition last Thursday, when she sang Adele’s ‘Hello.?
‘Abigail was the winner of the 5-6 Division this year,? her mom Gina Mundy said proudly after her daughter’s win.
Participants auditioned during a first round on Dec. 7. The contest was first held in 2012, and this year saw some changes to scoring.
‘The judges had scoring cards they filled out for 70 percent, and Twitter accounted for 30 percent of the score,? Mundy said.
The crowd cheered for their favorite performer and Twitter votes counted too.
‘I though the crowd was very into the show,? Mundy said. ‘You could tell the audience really enjoyed the show. All of the singers were amazing, and the crowd was very engaged.?
Abby won her division last year as a student at Springfield Plains. That win was also featured in CNews.
‘Being in the paper was a huge deal and so special to her,? said Mundy, who is proud of the number of votes Abby’s division scored on Twitter. ‘There was 570 people who voted in her division ? it made her so happy.?
