The semifinals for the Superstar competition run Thursday and Friday, from 5-10 pm.  Each of the 13 remaining competitors will be performing three songs during the semifinal performance.  An uptempo song, a slower song, and their interpretation and rearrangement of an assigned song.  Based upon a series of points awarded by judges, audience votes, audience participation, etc, the top 5 scoring competitors advance to the finals.  The finalists are announced by midnight Friday, and the final 5 competitors return Saturday from 5-10 pm, each performing a half hour set.  Again, the points are tallied.  The top three are awarded grand prize winner, runner up, and honorable mention, and return, performing 90, 60, and 30 minute sets respectively on Sunday evening. Last year, I finished 6th during the semifinals, and can't wait to get another shot.  Above and beyond the potential prizes, and incredible opportunities that come with winning, I'm looking forward to meeting more artists, and learning from the incredible mentoring session that all semifinalists attend together.  Every step song this journey has been amazing, and I'm going to do my best to keep pushing forward and opening more doors.  Wish me luck, and see you there!
