Just Brooke Quotes

“And what is your name going to be?" Ms. Isle asks me as we are ending our session. "You need to think of a stage name. Something that will set you apart. A name that will cause the judges to sit up and think, now she is someone special!"

I shrug. “I don’t want to be anyone else. I’m just Brooke.”

“Be aware, everyone else is coming up with a stage name. That’s part of picking out your brand. Just Brooke isn’t going to get any attention.”

“Maybe not," I agree. "But my singing will!”
― Sunshine Rodgers, Just Brooke

“My Aunt and Uncle can’t stop me. The other contestants can’t break me. The judges do not decide my fate.

♬ “It won’t always be like this.” ♬

It is a song wrapped in a memory. A memory wrapped in a song. And it is all mine. No matter the outcome. No matter the prize.
This moment is all mine, and no one can take that away from me.

♬ “But the beauty is here to stay.” ♬

The piano notes had already stopped as I sing out my last line. Like it was just me, vulnerable and real, as I leave it all on that
stage.”
― Sunshine Rodgers, Just Brooke
