Her last performance of "Rainy Days and Mondays" was criticized by the celebrity judges (Deborah Gibson, Gladys Knight and Justin Guarini), for her showing precociousness and nervousness in the performance, and she didn't make it the next stage. [10] Subsequently, she appeared on PAX TV's America's Most Talented Kid , a TV talent competition, where she narrowly lost on an episode in 2005. [11] Later in 2005, she was part of Discovery Kids's Endurance: Tehachapi , a national TV show similar to Survivor .

Taped during the summer, it started airing later in the year, continuing into early 2006 on the NBC broadcast network, in addition to the digital Discovery Kids Channel. [13]

In September 2005, she appeared in the film Wait Till This Year , which was aired by the New England Sports Network (NESN) and subsequently released on DVD. [11] [14] [15]

In January 2008, Dubela appeared as one of the hopefuls on the Miami audition episode of American Idol . [16] [17] However, all three judges voted to deny Dubela advancement to the Hollywood stage of the competition. [16] [18] [19] [20] [21]

Charity

Dubela has done charitable work through the StarMight Foundation of Strafford, which involved contributing to a CD, Tru Colors, for the St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. [3] [13] The CD was also distributed to children in New England area hospitals. [6]   Singers from the group, including Dubela, perform in person for the patients, who receive the CD, which is also sold separately to raise funds for the organization. [22]
