Well done, Annelies! I'm glad you decided not to take the steroids, and I think it's wonderful that you were able to sing well despite having a setback last week. You showed a lot of courage and professionalism. As for feeling you could've sung better, that's a feeling that people with high standards often have. The main thing is that you made a decision that was right for you, and you sang well in your performance.
You're on your way!
