Well done, Annelies! I'm glad you decided not to take the steroids, and I
think it's wonderful that you were able to sing well despite having a
setback last week. You showed a lot of courage and professionalism. As
for feeling you could've sung better, that's a feeling that people with
high standards often have. The main thing is that you made a decision that
was right for you, and you sang well in your performance.
You're on your way!
