I am the woman with the "Bucket List Sign" I did not get up on the stage with Aretha, but I did sing with her, right from my chair. Security brought me up close to the stage so my sign could be seen, however, I do not believe Aretha saw it. I am a singer/songwriter here on LI and won several competitions, NYS Senior Idol, Town of Brookhaven Talent Search, Reach for the Stars, and recently made it through two rounds on the upcoming X-Factor. The end of the evening one of my friends ran my CD up to one of Aretha's band members who indicated to me that he would pass it along to her. ARETHA is AMAZING...SHE IS THE QUEEN. Lee Ann Brill

Thanks, guys. Aretha really is amazing. Lee Ann, I saw that you were able to get up very close to the stage. I was rooting for you to be brought up and sing with the Queen, but it was not to be. Maybe next time!

Thanks for "rooting" me on. It was an amazing night, which all started with me singing out in the parking lot. A woman saw my sign and called me on it, so I sang a chorus of "Think". So many people were wishing me luck that night. However, as you said, it was not meant to be. Perhaps there will be another opportunity. In the meantime, I continue chasing the dream. www.leeannbrill.com
