So happy this performance did so well. I’ve been told that my DI this year is “too funny” and “not a Dramatic.” This piece proves you don’t have to be depressing to do well. You can have humor and tell a great story and still have a great DI. Mad respect to this guy, great piece!

[@StephanieKLee29]

i've watched this piece around 10 times and i still laugh, cry, and smile each time. this is beyond fantastic and one of my favorites.

[@kennym5305]

How could this be only the runner up. This is incredible. I want to see the winner perform because how could they be better?

[@christinajames5435]

My coach was the coah of the winner. The winner deserved to win. You have to watch it you'll love it. Midnight in the garden of good and evil- Performed by Anthony Nadeau

IM NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING

[@sinashamsian3739]

i cried and then laughed and then cried cause, i feel him man when he said when i look into the mirror I dont hate who I see, and that got me because I have those thoughts everyday, I have the thoughts of people calling me stick, twig, weak, boney, skeleton, always grabbing my wrist to see how small it is, I hate it, I hated it ever since 1st grade but it hasn't stopped, its gotten better, ... but it hasn't stopped and one day I hope i can look in the mirror and like what it see

[@manswine7735]

are you disabled or completely able-bodied? Because if you're able bodied you can change that by eating a calorie surplus and lifting weights

[@sinashamsian3739]

ManSwine I got a fast metabolism it comes in the family and I did lift weights for my swim team and shit , it’s hard to understand I know like I don’t understand how people get fat cause I can just eat till I get heart burn and I won’t gain weight 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@lexithepoohbear]

That was amazing

[@katelinlabitch5836]

I love it
My dream is to
Stop being Emo
Stop standing out for depression
Stop being bisexual
Stop being a failure
And to just look at myself
And-and not see an ugly face
To see a beautiful, straight, smart girl
Then I realize, it’s all a dream🥺...

Just curious, was this a DI or an HI?

[@Jacksbigbro123]

This was definitely a Dramatic Interpretation.

[@maddylee5607]

Thanks. I was asking because I wanted to show my duo partner that not all DIs have to be depressing.

[@emi_not_emmy]
