She’s 18. She Moves Those Hips… Then Sings Like A ROCKSTAR!

My name is Janelle Garcia. I'm 18 years old. I'm from Rochester, Massachusetts, and I just graduated from high school. Life starts now. Life starts right now, today. I live in a really small town, in a small house, in a dead-end street, and life's always been really quiet. This is it. My family is really close. My dad builds race cars, he races race cars, and my mom works in health care. She loves to help people. Her life is basically all about me and my siblings. But, like, I don't know, I feel like once I go out there and people are, like, yelling, like, you can feel it rumbling, like, in your stomach. Like, I've been to a concert, but this time it's me who's gonna be on stage. My family, they're, like, my motivation. I'm doing this for them. I just wanted to make them proud today. I know you can do this. Okay. I'm nervous, I'm excited. Britney Spears? I'm gonna have to say no. I'm also sorry, I'm gonna have to say no. Okay, keep your head up, it's a no. I just want to pretend that I'm in my room, singing to myself in the mirror, except there's people cheering me on, and there's really, really important people in front of me. Great, thank you. What's your name? My name is Janelle Garcia. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. How old are you? I am 18 years old. So, who are your inspirations? I'm into, like, a lot of old rock, Pat Benatar. Well, you know what, Janelle, everything comes around full circle eventually, right? Yeah. Okay, well, good luck. I was not expecting that. That was absolutely incredible. That was amazing. Thank you. You know what I find is really, really interesting is that you have, like, such a cute face, you're really likable, and then all of a sudden you're like, I'm on fire. Like, I literally wrote down in my notes, like, hot. Okay, you're awesome. Thank you. Janelle, let me tell you, sweetheart, you are on the money, because right now, what is missing in the pop charts is a young Pat Benatar or someone like that. I love the idea of making a pop record, a rock record. You're different, you're exciting. I really, really like you. I try. Like you a lot. Thank you. Yes. Thank you. Yes. L.A.? It is a yes. Definitely yes. A big yes. That was so cool. That was so cool. Like, I didn't expect them to like me that much. Wow.
