Alright, soooo anyways, if y'all read any of my other journals y'all would know that I auditioned for American Idol at the Texas Stadium in Irving Tx...BKA Dallas since it's in the Dallas county. So anyways, yeah, I made it pass the 1st audition where only 400 of the 12,000 people that were there made it through. I was so excited! Ok, so anyways, I'm thinking, yay, I get to audition right away for the 3 judges...WRONG!!! After that there's two more auditions! I know, crazyiness. So anyways, I went to the hotel and I just waited and chatted with other people for about 5 hours. Finally it's our turn to audition and I'm super nervous of course. This one chick was freaking AMAZING! I'm talking about I was like, ok, this B is gonna be on TV for sure, didn't make it pass the 1st audition and I'm like, OMG! This one black girl who I was talking to in the room because she sat right next to me was like in shock along with me and a few of the other people who were sitting there and then she was like super nervous now. I was getting really nervous too. So anyways, the girl who went before me didn't make it and I went in the room and my hands were sweaty and yea, it was just crazy. So anyways, I sang, And I Am Telling You and of course I sing bad and I sing loud :D Just like I love to do and the producer is like, "Yes" and is nodding her head. I was like, oh, ok! LOL. I was super excited. Then I got the big sticker that has the American Idol thing on it and then I went to go wait. Lunch interuppted and we went out to McDonalds and got lost finding the hotel again but eventually we found it a couple of minutes late and it was all good in the end. So anyways, I go sit down and we're waiting and I ask this girl is Simon, Randy & Paula in there and she tells me no, and I'm thinking, UGH! So anyways, when I finally go in there, it's that dude Nigle from So You Think You Can Dance and a lot of other producers. There were probably about 10-15 people in there. So anyways, they ask what song and I decide to do the same song and he's like, "And you know it's a girl song and you're alright with it." I'm like yeah and he goes on to say something about if the American Idol should sing a girl song and I'm like, "I guess" So anyways, he tells me to go ahead and I start to sing and his face is priceless, haha. He looks at me like WTF? And then he's like, well you know you're bad and somethign about that I was fake and whatever. I was like, no, I'm not acting or w/e and then they had me sing "Since You Been Gone" which was my audition song anyways, so anyways, I sing it and then he's like well, "Thank You" and I don't get the golden ticket to go on to see the 3 judges. So yeah, it was pretty sad. My cousin cursed out the cameras and he was just shouting crap like, "My cousin has fucking talent, American Idol is racist. They let all these other bitches in who have no fucking talent! This is bullshit. My cousin can sing! Sing for them Marty!" I was just like, umm, naw, I'm cool. Anyways, yeah, it was a crazy experience. When I thought about it I wasted like 20+ hours of my life but then it's like, it's an experience that I would most likely never get to experience again and I'm happy that I made it as far as I got because a lot of people didn't make it pass the 1st audition, some didn't make it pass the 2nd audition and not many at all made it pass the 3rd audition. So anyways, yeah. Oh, and I got Kelly Clarkson tickets!!! I'm so excited. Never been to a concert before and now I'm just happy that I'm going to let to see her. That's my girl right there :D Well, that's about it for now. Nothing more intresting happening in my life right now so yeah, lataz!!!
