Alessandra Guercio

No Sky High Enough

by Dominic Campanile

Breathtaking. Phenomenal. Extraordinary. Spectacular. Amazing.

All of these words and more could not describe the thought that passes my mind as I watch the twelve-year old singing sensation, Alessandra Guercio, perform. As you may already know, Alessandra was a musical guest at Miss Idea 2004 and 2005. She captured the audience’s hearts with every verse she sang in 2004 and had the spectators raving about her until she appeared again in 2005. Alessandra was a guest on the hit television morning show, The Maury Show, when she was only ten years old. The ratings on her performance that day were so high that they requested her once again to perform this year. I remember watching the show knowing exactly what to expect; I got just that when goose bumps ran up my arm with her first word. It did not take long to get more chills, as she was simply breathtaking. Alessandra sang “Because of You” by Kelly Clarkson that day and she was nothing short of phenomenal. Leaving the crowd during a loud and standing ovation, her extraordinary performance will surely be remembered by the onlookers for a long time coming. Since her first appearance on the Maury Show, Alessandra has been recognized in many places, including the Bahamas where she vacationed with her family. The spectacular singer was even requested to sing the national anthem on two occasions at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden ; once for the New York Knicks, and more recently, the New York Rangers. Alessandra has also appeared on Showtime at the Apollo and even opened for Michael Bolton. In addition, Alessandra won Top Child Vocalist against a competition of over seventeen hundred children. Alessandra continues to be nothing but amazing and we at L’Idea are very proud of all her accomplishments. We wish her the very best and hope for an everlasting success.    We promise our loyal readers that we will keep them posted on Alessandra and all the wonderful things the future holds for her. The sky is the limit… or is it?
