20% of the Finalist were members of The Singers Club.   Maria Vaught was 1st Runner Up.  She gave a wonderful performance, and left the audience amazed by her talent.  You would hear Maria's name in most of the conversations of the talented individuals that were in competition.

Maria chose "The One That Got Away" for her Semi-Final Performance....  She began by stepping out to center stage announcing "I have something to say before you start the music.....Ladies, you know what I am talking about.... there is always that one..... you know who I mean......" Then she gracefully took her seat and entered into a dreamland of reminiscing taking everyone in the room with her.  The audience could actually feel her words and traced their own memory of that time in their lives of one that got away.

"I'm Every Woman" was to be the selection that took Maria from Texas to Nashville, and from the Nashville Finals to 1st Runner Up.   Maria stood on stage with a White apron that was decorated with autographs from her fellow competitors.  It represented all that she was at that very instant.  She was a Friend, a Mother, a Wife, a Cook, a Maid, a Contestant, and a superb Vocalist.   She once again graced the audience with her talented performance, and showmanship of a true professional.  Maria currently is working as a vocalist in her area.   She has been singing for years and craves the dream of one day performing at Carnegie Hall.
