Default The wedding singer...

This girl silenced the room at a wedding reception when she sang.

Totally untrained singer, with an incredible voice.

These are the set for your consideration and comment:

154 is the best shot in my opinion. In the others, she looks like she's grimacing, her face is turned away from the camera, or she's daydreaming with a microphone in her hands. Taking shots of performers has always produced a low keeper rate for me. So don't take this as harsh criticism.

You might try toning down or cropping out the bright lights in the background, which distract the eye from the performer.

But then you would lose the candles...

Without the candles, you have just lost the ambience...
