Description:
8 year old Dominique Dy wins 1st runner up singing You Light Up My Life (Leann Rimes version) at the 2010 Tri-Cities Got Talent semi-final round on 08/22/2010, sponsored by Kari's Heart Foundation benefiting children and families with congenital heart condition. She advances to the Finals of Tri-Cities Got Talent slated for 06/12/2010 at the Paramount Theatre in Bristol, TN."You Light Up My Life" is a ballad written by Joe Brooks and originally recorded by the late Kasey Cisyk for the soundtrack to the film of the same name. The song was performed in the film by its lead, Didi Conn, who lip synched Cisyk's version. Pat Boone's daughter, Debby Boone, was recruited to record the single, which became a massive success, topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a record-setting ten consecutive weeks. It easily became the most successful single of the 1970s in the United States and set a new Hot 100 record for longest reign at No.1. (Elvis Presley's double-sided "Don't Be Cruel/Hound Dog", then recognized as the longest-running No.1 of the Rock Era, spent 11 weeks atop the Billboard Best Sellers chart in 1956, before the debut of the Hot 100.) The record was matched in 1982 by Olivia Newton-John's Physical, but never surpassed until a 1991 change in chart methodology allowed songs to achieve longer reigns at No.1 ("End of the Road" by Boyz II Men set the new record, 13 weeks). The single, which was certified platinum by the RIAA, also hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart and even reached #4 on the Country chart. Although written by Brooks as a love song, the devout Boone interpreted the song as inspirational and proclaimed that it was instead God who "lit up her life."Cisyk's soundtrack recording was released as a single to bolster sales of the soundtrack after Boone included her version on her first solo album also entitled You Light Up My Life. (Although the soundtrack was certified gold, peaking at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, it never included Boone's version of the song.) Cisyk's single was credited to "Original Cast", not to Cisyk herself, and only reached No. 80 on the Billboard Hot 100. Brooks also released an instrumental version of the song from the soundtrack as a single, but his version failed to chart. Boone's success resulted in Grammy nominations for Best Pop Vocal Performance Female and Record of the Year and won her the 1977 Grammy for Best New Artist and the 1977 American Music Award for Favorite Pop Single. The song earned Brooks the 1977 Song of the Year Grammy (tied with "Love Theme from "A Star Is Born" (Evergreen)") as well as the Best Original Song awards at the 1977 Golden Globe and Academy Awards. 2010 Tri Cities Got Talent semi final round singing singer contest competition johnson city kingsport bristol tn va paramount theater theatre state kari heart foundation non for profit benefit fund raise medical center infant baby congenital disease condition leann rimes bianca ryan westlife live concert asian chinese philippines pinoy idol girl child sing sung by cover america country pop ballad carrie underwood classic female nashville memphis pilipinas "pinoy got talent" "pilipinas got talent" tricities tri-cities "leann rimes" "lee ann" lee ann rhymes leigh anne "how do I live with out you" how do i live without you britan's eurovision australia's "x factor" x factor jovit 2010
