Mia Cejovich

Teen Division

Hi, I’m Mia Cejovich. I am a Sophomore at Niles West High School.  I have been singing since I could talk, mostly for my family.  When I was 4, my brother and I would perform for our family in English and Serbian.  Music is a big part of my life, but I also love sports and play soccer, volleyball, and basketball.

1) Redo Song

I Dreamed a Dream

by Claude-Michel Schönberg

I thought I sang this pretty well the first time, but the judges said that I needed to show more confidence.  So that's what I'm going to try.

2) Judge's Choice

Before The Parade Passes By

by Jerry Herman

I sang a Bette Midler song in the semi-finals, which I think inspired the judges to pick this for me.  I was very unfamiliar with Barbra Streisand, and her version taught me new things and opened up a whole new world of music and performing for me.

3) R.B.S.B.F.

Shallow

by Lady Gaga, Andrew Wyatt, Anthony Rossomando, and Mark Ronson

I saw Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga perform this on the Oscars, and though it was great the way they performed it just on the piano, and then with an orchestra.  It made me want to play it on the piano for myself, and sing alone with it.
