She Made it Through the Rain

Day 5 of the 30 Day Song Challenge - A song that reminds you of someone

Whenever I hear Mariah Carey's Through the Rain, I remember Shin Shin. This was the song that started it all for her. She sang it during the elimination round of Search for a Star, and wasn't planning to sing it again for the Finals as she had another song in mind. The producers thought Through the Rain would be her best song so they suggested it to her. She sang it, and the rest is history.

Shin totally owns the song from that amazing performance in the Grand Finals, until now. After 5 albums to date, she still includes this song in most of her shows and gigs, and her rendition now is much more powerful and heartfelt. Now in her 6th year in show business, she has weathered all the storms that came her way, and no question she will weather the storms that have yet to come.

When everything will be said and done, she can look back and say she made it through the rain.
