Pia Toscano to sing at 9/11

Pia Toscano returns to Citi Field on Sunday night. The Queens native and "American Idol" alum will sing "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch of the nationally televised Mets-Cubs game as part of the home team's 9/11 observance. Three years ago, Toscano won the team's annual Anthem Search and performed  "The Star-Spangled Banner" before a game in July 2009.

Wow-nice find Viv. I can only imagne how much of an honor this is for Pia.  Not only returning to the Mets stadium to sing, but also being a New Yorker.  I'm sure it will bring back memories, as she has said how 9/11 is close to her heart....every one, especially in those who were in New York knows where they were that morning.

What an honor Pia to sing God Bless America in NY on 9/11. She should sing the National Anthem too. The game is on ESPN Sunday night at 8.

"I've grown so much as a person and as a vocalist throughout this competition, and I'm so happy that that was my moment to shine." She says: "I definitely want to have those big ballads. Since I was a little girl, I've always taken to those huge voices: Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey. So I definitely want to bring that back.'
