Throughout the contest, Cat explains how her life is based on what music makes her feel, and how her work at the teen activity center fills her with a fullness that she didn’t think she would achieve. Annie for her part demonstrates the challenge of being a single mother who has an incredible talent for singing and instills love for music in her child.
