Today was the final of the 2011 Acoustic Nights Montreal Teen Songwriting Competition where the Top 10 teen singer-songwriter artists put on a wonderful display of talent and perseverance, in front of 4 professional musician judges with friends and family in the audience.
What a delight! They make their parents proud and spread joy all around.
Congratulations to all Top 10 contestants for a great job. The winners were:
- Isabelle Stern (15, Lorraine, QC)
- Matthew Azrieli (16, Montreal, QC)
- Hailey Samm (17, Ville St-Laurent, QC)
The People’s Choice Award went to Gillian Ho (16, Montreal, QC).
It was very hard to judge and to pick a winner, with so much talent. I am not exaggerating when I say I’d have picked them all, because I am full of admiraiton for each performer, each one has left a lasting impression.
I wish you kids great futures and to grow into successful singer-songwriters. I’m quite sure we have seen the cream of the crop today.
I’m so proud of you all and humbled by the experience of seeing and hearing you all perform and give it your best 🙂
