One of the biggest surprises for Irene Michaels was winning Best Song of the Year in a pop song category last year at the 2023 Josie Music Awards for her hit song “I Like Rain.” It took her completely by surprise as she wasn’t aware of being nominated in that specific category. She was thrilled beyond words when they announced her name and from that moment on, she began to look forward to this year’s festivities.
When she found out she was again nominated this year, in two categories she was jubilant. It was shortly after that she was asked to perform at the pre-party 10th anniversary celebration which took place at the iconic CMA Theater in the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum. She was ecstatic. Then a twist of fate occurred in the form of a sudden, serious illness which prevented her from participating in the exciting award ceremonies and the long awaited live performance….
In the words of Irene Michaels “I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime. You cannot imagine the disappointment I felt and still feel when I realized that it wouldn’t be possible for me to perform. However, I am so grateful for the nominations this year and for the faith you had in me as an independent artist. I am so appreciative for my award last year as it meant so much to me. I am looking forward to next year and again I am heartbroken that I wasn’t able to make it this year.”
