Recap: "Amy's Nashville Dreams"

Tonight on TLC...
19 Kids and Counting "Amy's Nashville Dreams"

• Amy Duggar is preparing to sing on the Showboat Branson Belle for a crowd of 700. The only time she has sung for a larger crowd was at Jill's wedding, which had about 1,500 attendees. 
• Amy goes shopping with her mom and Grandma Duggar to find an outfit for the event. She falls in love with a blue lacy dress. "I definitely have my own style," says Amy. "I don't dress as conservative as my family. However, I do have my own dress code."
• "Amy's a very talented gal, and I think she'll do very well," says Jim Bob. "She's a nice little singer."
• Michelle encourages Amy to enjoy what she's doing and "come away with a great experience, whether she goes big or not."
• Amy walks out on stage on the Branson Belle, but the music doesn't start. She attempts to make small talk with the audience for a few moments while the sound crew gets everything working. "That's my life," says Amy. "Nothing ever goes as planned."
• The music finally starts, and Amy sings "You Are Always on My Mind." She and her mom and grandma are pleased with her performance.
• Next, Amy Duggar celebrates her 28th birthday with her aunt and uncle and 19 cousins. "My kids love her," says Michelle. "Honestly, Amy is like a party waiting to happen."
• The Duggar cousin, who says that traditional cakes are overrated, attempts to make a donut cake.  "Donuts to me are almost irresistible," says Jim Bob.
• While Amy and her cousins are preparing the donut cake, Johannah takes a tumble into the cake and gets covered in frosting. Amy chases her around and tries to put more frosting on her, while Jim Bob tries to lick it off her.
• "I thought Amy's donut cake idea was quite different, but not a bad idea, me being a cop," says John-David.
• When people ask Amy why she isn't married yet, she responds: "Oh y'all." She says she wants to have a family someday but that, like her cousins, she is waiting on God's timing.
• "I think Amy's plans to go to Nashville [are] awesome," says Joy-Anna. "She is going to fit right in there."
• Amy heads back to Nashville and attends a meeting with record labels, who are impressed by the improvement she has made.
• Amy then visits Black River Records to shoot her first music video. She has trouble remembering the words at first, but once she gets into the groove, she does well.
• At the end of the episode, Amy gathers with her mom, both of her grandmas, a few of her closest friends, and her producer to watch her music video for the first time.
• TLC also shows a brief preview of Jessa Duggars' wedding, which will air in 2015. Click here and here to view pictures.
