A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE BEAUFORT COUNTY'S CANDICE GLOVER FOR HER CONTINUED SUCCESS ON AMERICAN IDOL AND TO WISH HER ULTIMATE VICTORY AS SHE STRIVES TO BECOME THE SEASON TWELVE AMERICAN IDOL.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are delighted to learn that Candice Glover has advanced to the Top 4 on season twelve of American Idol; and

Whereas, a native of St. Helena Island and proud of her Geechee dialect and culture, she began performing at age four to the encouragement of the congregation in the Lowcountry's Oaks True Holiness Church, singing "Victory Is Mine"; and

Whereas, she received her first standing ovation at the age of eight for her first major solo, singing CeCe Winans' "Alabaster Box"; and

Whereas, she auditioned for American Idol twice before succeeding in her third audition, earning her a spot for the twelfth season; and

Whereas, Candice knew she could not quit when it came to realizing her dream which has taken her all the way to the Top 4 of season twelve so far; and

Whereas, in Round 4 of Hollywood Week, her passionate rendition of Alicia Keys' "Girl On Fire" brought the entire audience to its feet; and

Whereas, she began the Top 10 competition with an unmatched rendering of Ben E. King's "I (Who Have Nothing)," and in the weeks since that time her rich, soulful musical interpretations have continued to keep the audiences on their feet; and

Whereas, her perfect performance of Dee Dee Warwick's "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" won her a standing ovation again and sent her to the Top 7, and two weeks later she mesmerized the audience when she poured her soul into the last bars of Dionne Warwick's "Don't Make Me Over"; and

Whereas, by the Top 6 week, she was holding the audience spellbound before she had sung four bars of her effortless rendition of "Lovesong" by The Cure; and

Whereas, her next step is a performance in the Top 4 on Wednesday, April 24, where Candice Glover will show the judges more of the natural musical gifts and spirit that enable her to give a performance even the stars find unforgettable for its excellence; and

Whereas, appreciative of the hard work and talent that have brought Candice Glover such success on American Idol, the House of Representatives looks with anticipation to hear of her continued achievements in the days ahead and wishes her well as the competition continues. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Beaufort County's Candice Glover for her continued success on American Idol and wish her ultimate victory as she strives to become the season twelve American Idol.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Candice Glover.
