I also like how strong your competition, an un-named, aging actress (?), seems to be since she is always reading the same part as you in auditions. You show her determination and persistence by having her reappear in the song three times, so that the structure of your song physically demonstrates her tenacity and almost annoying presence. Your lyrics manage to be humorous, heartfelt, and serious at the same time.

Very nice.
