Mia Boostrom's Got Talent and Drive by By: Bryan Rourke
This week Mia Boostrom returned to school, and the usual back-to-school conversation: What did you do this summer? While many of the 16-year-old girl’s classmates were watching TV, she was performing on it — again. For the second consecutive summer, Boostrom, a junior at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School, rose through the ranks of tens of thousands of contestants nationwide and advanced to the semifinal pool of people on the NBC show America’s Got Talent. “It’s kind of surreal. Now I’m back to real reality. I was in TV reality. I spent my summer as a celebrity. Now I’m in math class and I’m hoping for my next big break.” Boostrom wasn’t given a big break. She made one, singing. Perhaps you heard her and saw her two weeks ago when she appeared on the show for the last time this year, and sang “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. “You blew me away,” said Sharon Osborne, one of the show’s three judges. “It was perfectly sung, great emotion.” “You looked beautiful,” said David Hasselhoff, another judge. “And I’m proud to say we’ve been a part of your transformation.” Everyone remembered Boostrom from last year, when she made it to the show’s top 80 performers before being voted off. And everyone remarked how much she improved.That wasn’t a coincidence. It was work, but also a labor of love. “This is what I want to do,” Boostrom says. And she does it with a vengeance. Boostrom’s been taking voice lessons for five years, and been performing at open-mic nights the last three years, with increasing frequency, in Raynham, Fall River, Warren and Providence, wherever there’s an audience and microphone, be it a school night or not. “I believe in her,” says Niña Boostrom, Mia’s mother. “She should go for her dreams. What else is there in life?” A year ago, Mia Boostrom’s dreams were dashed when she was sent home. “It was heartbreaking,” Boostrom says. “But I knew I couldn’t give up.” Experience told her that. When Boostrom was 9 years old, she began singing in talent shows, and recalls a particular annual competition in Taunton that she never won, but should have. “Every year I would go out there and every year I would lose to a model who looked better than I did in a gown but who didn’t sing as well.” Welcome to show biz. “It gave me a bigger perspective on things. I may not have the look America wants, but I can sing.” Singing was Boostrom’s solace against the self-doubts of adolescence, when she felt unattractive and overweight. “I was the first one among my friends to have hips.” Last year when Boostrom began the audition process for the show and went to New York, along with 5,000 other people, she had the flu. “I went into the audition with a box of tissues and a trash bag.” Her father, Kenn Boostrom went with her and marveled at the array of talent gathered in one place. “We were in line with dog acts, belly dancers and transvestite singers.” The judges liked Mia Boostrom’s medley of six songs, which she accompanied on piano and guitar, and invited her back the next week for a televised performance audition before a theater audience of 4,000, where she sang “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green. Then they invited her to Las Vegas, where she sang Alicia Keyes’ “If I Ain’t Got You,” and then sent her home. “I don’t think I was ready. I wasn’t confident enough. I was tense.” Yes, Kenn Boostrom says, his daughter was tense. “I call it crunching.” Mia sang with her body drawn in and her head down, nervous and cautious. When Mia Boostrom was eliminated from the competition, comments from more than 1,000 people on the show’s web site encouraged her to make a comeback. And so began her Rocky-like return, seeking out and singing open-mic nights at least once or twice a week. “I got more confident and better stage presence.” This past year when Boostrom began the audition process again, the show’s crew and staff recognized her. “I felt I was kind of like a celebrity, but not.” After singing “Free Falling” by Tom Petty in Boston, and “Georgia on My Mind” by Ray Charles in New York, Mia Boostrom went to Los Angeles and vied to make it to the field of 20. She sang “Hallelujah,” which judges Osborne and Hasselhoff liked. But one judge balked: Piers Morgan, who thought Boostrom was good, but not better than the best in the now-select field of performers. “I thought you missed some notes, especially when you went high.” So the America’s Got Talent finals on Sept. 16 will be without Boostrom, who at 16 is now old enough to audition for American Idol, and is thinking about that for next year. But at the moment, her mind is on school, sort of. “The other kids in school say they want to graduate. Well, I want to graduate, too. But I also want a record deal.”
