Berklee singer wins N.Y. competition

By Carol Beggy & Mark Shanahan, Globe Staff | March 15, 2006

Try as she might, Samantha Sidley couldn't concentrate on her studies yesterday. The Berklee music student was flying high following her two-week stint at the Algonquin Hotel's Oak Room. ''I'm still kind of in awe," she acknowledged yesterday. ''It's such a legendary place." Sidley, who's barely 20, got the gig by winning the hotel's first annual Young Artist Competition. Her performance earned raves from the critics, including The New York Times' Stephen Holden, who invoked Billie Holiday's name in praising Sidley's phrasing. The chanteuse also got a nice note from cabaret diva Julie Wilson, who attended one of her shows. What's next? Not ''American Idol." ''No," she said. ''I'm not a pop singer. I'm a jazz singer. But my friend Katharine McPhee is one of the finalists, so I'm happy for her."
