AUDITION DAY for American Idol!!

So American Idol auditions came and went and as you all probably know... I was REJECTED! Ha ha! No big surprise there. But what was a surprise, was what the producers were and (most importantly) were NOT letting through.  As I sat and waited for hours watching each audition, I was surprised to see that what I "thought" they were looking for, such as good-looking, skinny or muscular, and obviously amazing voices, but that wasn't exactly what was getting through.  Don't get me wrong, there were some that were all of those things! But as time pressed forward I was able to stand by and REALLY get a feel for what they were turning down.  There was some AMAZING talent in that arena that was passed up turn by turn. More so than what I saw get through.  I was baffled.  What were they looking for?  My audition came and surprising enough I wasn't too nervous. I didn't get to perform in front of Simon, Randy and Paula. In fact, I had to audition for the producers of the show. If you made it through THEN you would get to audition for Randy, Simon and Paula. My turn finally came and well, I did pretty freaking awesome (if I do say so myself) and yet, I was not what they were looking for.  I was however, told to pursue some voice lessons and come back again when I was a little better.  But, whatever, they probably said that to a lot of people.  No worries. All in all though, it was FUN!! And most importantly, I made myself do it!! It's been something that I have wanted to do since the beginning of American Idol. So, one accomplishment down.... and like a million more to go!  :)






Leah and I at 4:00 AM!!! I actually only got 1 1/2 hrs. of sleep!!!!!!! Don't ask!


Sienna made me a FABULOUS poster! Thanks CC!!

Ok, so these guys were waiting by us, and some-what close to each other in line and the guy in black pulled out his guitar and started playing then the guy in white came over and joined him with his guitar. He also has a harmonica if you can tell... anyway they made some incredible music together. If only they had a demo or something, I would've bought it right then and there!!




We kinda got obsessed with Mr. Hottie Pants in the background when we were waiting in line, so Leah just had to take a picture. Ha! Ha! So great! Oh, and I wanna say this was at like 5 AM.



The guy on the floor of the arena was helping us put together the two songs that we sang for the recording of the A.I. taping: "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Get Ready."


A BIG thanks to Leah for taking this flattering pic of me while singing our songs! lol.
