Another Duggar child was given the spotlight during Tuesday's "19 Kids and Counting" episode, but she is not Jim Bob and Michelle's daughter.
Amy Duggar, Jim Bob's 28-year-old niece, returned to the hit TLC reality show to feature her journey as an aspiring musician and to celebrate her birthday with her cousins. Her first appearance in the show was back in June, when she moved out to Nashville to pursue her musical dreams. After several failed attempts, Cousin Amy returned to Arkansas to take small-time gigs like singing in churches and performing at Jill's wedding. However, Amy will not let her ambitions fade away.
In the episode titled "Amy's Nashville Dreams," Jim Bob's niece was seen performing at the Branson Belle show boat with her mother, Deanna Jordan, and the famous Grandma Duggar. However, her performance did not go as smoothly as she wanted it to be. Before the start of her set, the sound system failed to turn on, giving her several seconds of awkward moments on stage. Yet she did not let it affect her. When the technical glitch was finally sorted out, the singing Duggar managed to give a good show.
"I'm proud of myself. I never thought I was so strong. I think I'm clearly growing as an artist," Amy said. "If I can handle a song not coming on with that many people staring at me, whatever could happen, bring it on!"
After her performance, Amy visited the house of her uncle and his large family to celebrate her 28th birthday. The Duggars bonded over campfire and shared a unique donut cake.
"We aways enjoy having Amy over for any kind of a party," Michelle said. "She is so much fun. My kids love her. Honestly, Amy is like a party waiting to happen."
Amy's music video for her song titled "Beautiful Weather" was also showcased during the episode. And since the episode also served as the season finale, the much-awaited sneak peek of Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald's wedding was also shown toward the end of the show.
"19 Kids and Counting" will allegedly come back to TLC sometime in 2015.
