    The young lady in the glasses and white dress who sang (Caroline-she also sang in Portuguese)) has the most beautiful voice. She needs to try out for U.K. X Factor or something because she was really good-she sounds good enough to cut a record right now IMO. I was hoping to run into her to tell her this but I hope she reads this comment and is encouraged to pursue this-she is a really talented young lady!
