“I’ll
never
forget
this
one
time,
I
was
singing
for
this
record
exec
and
I
see,
out
of
the
corner
of
my
eye,
him
writing
down ‘no,'”
she
continued. “I
was
about
to
break
into
tears
right
there,
so
I
just
closed
my
eyes
and
kept
on
going
and
finished
the
audition.
Turns
out,
what
that
note
said
was ‘now,’
sign
her
now.”
“What
a
difference
one
letter
can
make,”
Pearl
concluded. “And,
even
after
all
these
years,
I
think
people
still
don’t
know
what
I’m
capable
of—until
now.
Being
here,
I’ve
been
able
to
come
out
of
my
shell
and
show
my
range.”
After
a
rousing
performance
of
KT
Tunstall‘s “Black
Horse
and
the
Cherry
Tree,”
Pearl
was
crowned
as
the
winner,
beating
out
Boogie
Woogie,
who
was
singer
Andy
Grammer,
Coral,
who
was
Zombies
actress
Meg
Donnelly,
and
Mad
Scientist,
who
was
unmasked
as
former
Florida
Georgia
Line
band
member
Brian
Kelley.
So,
who
was
the
celebrity
behind
the
bejeweled
costume?
Only
Robin
Thicke
correctly
guessed
it was
country
star
Gretchen
Wilson.
