VOTE FOR AMY

One of the contestants on NBC’s The Voice is an alumnus of the same preparatory school I attended years ago (before my sudden Kafka-esque metamorphosis from human to cephalopod). Her name is Amy Vachal (class of 2007). This notice arrived in my email box this morning:

Now among the top 20 performers on the show, Amy finds out Wednesday if she will continue on to the top 12. 
During her audition, Amy's rendition of "Dream a Little Dream of Me" captured the hearts of all who were watching, including the coaches. Though Blake Shelton, Pharrell Williams, and Gwen Stefani all vied for Amy to join their team, she chose Williams and joined Team Pharrell. 
In the next round, the "Battle Round," Amy moved easily past the couple she faced, shining on stage as they collectively sang "To Love Somebody." 
"Amy, there's a delicate way about you and your approach to songs. I can only imagine people listening to your voice after having a really tough day. You just make everything feel like it's gonna be alright. You're amazing," said Williams, before declaring her the winner of the battle.
At the next stage of competition, Amy delivered a soulful rendition of Etta James's "A Sunday Kind of Love," and though her performance was not enough to earn Pharrell Williams's vote, she was eagerly "stolen" by Adam Levine, joining his team for the remainder of the season.
Vote Amy!
