Alrighty!! Let's pump things up a bit, shall we? :) I want to hear you sing til your lungs give out (like we don't already, right??).
So ... let's audition.
I want fresh auditions here. No pre-records. You can sing any song you want but it must be dated and time stamped AFTER 3/23 10:30 PM EST.
I will accept auditions through Thursday, March 27 at 11:59 EST or the first 50 people - whichever we reach first. There will be several rounds, each with a different and separate theme. There will be NO duets as I don't want to have to judge a solo performer on the basis of their ability to sing with another. However, there will be some serious challenges ahead so be prepared!!
There will be NO Drama.
There will be ONE SOLE judge .... me.
You will be based on talent, clarity, the ability to combine your voice with the music and have the levels even (one should not overpower the other). You will also be judged on your ability to follow the theme as well as the words of the song. If the words are not correct, please feel free to sing the correct ones.
And there will be prizes!! Yes there will.
The Grand Prize: $25 iTunes gift card Second Place: $10 iTunes gift card Third Place: $5 iTunes gift card
Each winner will also receive a personalized "winner's certificate" banner to place on their website, profile and/or MySpace page.
Now then ..... I want to hear you SING TIL YOUR LUNGS GIVE OUT!!!!!!!!!
This sounds pretty challenging...I'm excited! But now I can't just freestyle on a song, when I don't remember how it goes. (BOOOOOOOOOO) just kidding! N-E-WAY here's my entry....
Just FYI .... if your song is time stamped BEFORE the required 10:30 pm stamp, I will ask you to re-record so please be sure that your audition song is stamped appropriately. I've notified the two whose time stamps were off and am giving them the opportunity to re-record and will add them back to the list once they have a new song.
oh, and sorry for the short burst of scream from my 2 year old in the recording... as a mama, it's hard to find time to record without the youngin's around. =)
Jamie LOLOL that's alright. You are better than me -- I'm normally threatening the 6 and 7 year old (especially this week since they're on Spring Break) that they won't go ANYWHERE for the rest of the week if they don't go in their rooms and shut the door! ROFL
ROTFLOL Mine are 29 & 26 now and I soooooo miss those days.....SOMETIMES Carrie....noticed I said SOMETIMES???? :o) Now I get to enjoy my grands (twins) girl/boy.....sooooo adorable!! Naturally I am going to say that!!! ;o)
LOL! Mine are 6, 4, and 2 !! I'm threatening also... they know when I get the mic out the next sentence coming out of my mouth.... "time for mommy's time, in your rooms and don't come out unless someone's bleeding!" lol. and yes, Spring Break is killing me, too!
DeeDee -- OF COURSE your grands are adorable. I'll bet you spoil them as much as MY mom spoils MY two! LOL
Jamie - Hmmmm .... I'll have to try the "don't come out unless someone is bleeding". Although giving them that out, one would gladly bash something over the head of the other one JUST to SPITE ME, DAMMIT!!!!! :)
Oh, don't get me wrong. I absolutely ADORE my girls. The sun rises and sets in their eyes - but times like this .... you know, full moon and all .... I just want to run screaming through the streets. LOL
LOL, I can see mine doing that... but so far so good. *knocks on wood* My oldest two are boys, and the baby is a girl. it's crazy over here 99 percent of the time...
