Earlier that day she had stood on the stage where she would sing in front of millions of people, wearing a Juicy Couture tracksuit that a stylist had thrown her into, with her hair in rollers. Catherine had struggled through the first part of the song and was nervous that she was going to mess up tonight. She also knew that the full enormity of what she was about to do hadn’t dawned on her yet and was hoping she wouldn’t go to pieces as she stepped out in front of the studio audience this evening. Each act would perform once and by now everyone had rehearsed except Star. ‘Where is she?’ Kim asked, after she had finished her rendition of ‘Crying’. Kim had complained to Catherine when she was given this song to sing, but she quickly realised that it suited her voice and her practice run this afternoon had been extremely well received. ‘I haven’t seen her since this morning,’ Catherine said, looking around. In the corner of the studio Catherine saw Andy standing talking to one of the technicians.
