Speaking of Glee, my first discussion topic is going to be this Myspace audition the Glee team just did. You had to upload a video of you saying your background in singing and why you wanted to be on the show. Then they provided you with 10 horrendous karaoke tracks with which you had to sing along (or do it a cappella but those auditions sounded terrible). So I uploaded my two videos. I tried to sound really honest in mine, which my friend Nicole said I did so hooray for that. Then my song... wow. I chose "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the Stones because I like the classic rock they do on the show. Plus everyone and their mother was singing "Lean on Me," "Rehab," or "Don't Rain on My Parade." The track was SO SLOW. It was six grueling minutes of this song. I had to go a little riffy and crazy. Otherwise I would have gone nuts singing this song straight. I think I overdid it, but whatever. So I sent mine away, and I've gotten good responses from people. I watched a lot of other videos... and I'll be honest: people flat out suck. My favorite intro videos included using song titles as parts of sentences (i.e. "'Don't Rain on My Parade' by not picking me!") and people had never seen Glee. Oh, okay. Well, they did this voting thing where you could give your favorite videos "gold stars" a la Rachel Berry in the show. I had a respectable 18520. Some girl had upwards of 65000-70000 and she was good... but some others had over 50000 stars and were wretched. Thank goodness those votes do not count because some people were AWFUL yet apparently viewers thought it'd be hilarious to vote for them. Call me old fashioned but why get these people's hopes up? Honestly, some people just cannot sing. I'm not saying I'm the best, but I did train for four years in college, four years of high school, and at least six (if not more) years before high school on this matter. Anyway, who knows when anyone will hear from them, but apparently the producers are looking through all the videos. I'd love for them to ask me to read or sing something else. It's a total pipe dream, but who knows. It'd be pretty awesome.
Instead of thinking Glee will happen, because it's a one in a million shot, I'm looking at places to live in Richmond. Right now I have found two houses with rooms for rent. I know, it's a little weird to move into a house with strangers, but I really like the listings. I may go visit them over the weekend when I'm home just to check them and the people out. The prices are very acceptable, and the locations are ideal for me. This year is going to be a money making year. I'll start working towards New York which may happen in one year instead of two. We'll see. I have to make a plan, and it'll all unfold before me... I hope. :)
