Brittany Zika is a girl who had a crazy dream about Sara Bareilles. She had a weird dream that she was on Stage with her and sang together, but when she woke up, her pillow was gone.

If she had taken off her glasses, and have her long hair out, she would look even better and prettier. At least, she sang good?
