I'm excited.
Feels like the whole movie should be done by Sigur Rós.
Amen.

The Highest Title.
Yes. I did it. I auditioned for American Idol.
Try not to laugh. It was hard for me to keep a straight face watching all the crying faces that didn't make it past the producers.
The day went like this:
Wake up at 4:00am to be at Invesco Field at 5:00am
Wait in line for ninety minutes with 8,000 hopefuls till we finally got into the stadium
Spend another hour doing camera footage
During this hour, learn a Carrie Underwood crowd song for everyone to sing to be used for the show. The song is called 'Last Name' which has the most ridiculous lyrics ever. Ever, ever, ever. The story line behind this song is about a girl getting wasted with a bit of poison (alcohol). In the end, she marries some guy and does not even know his last name. Which results not knowing her last name either. I wish I could write something that well. *coughcough*
Finally the auditions are about to happen. On the other side of the field there are twelve tents set up for the the producers to audition a bunch of hopefuls. Four at a time audition just for the producer. You don't even introduce yourself or what you do for a living, you just get up there and start singing until they put a hand up. The very talented and not so very talented singers that are good for the camera went on to face another round.
One hour into the auditions they had a surprise guest to be revealed. So they halted the auditions for one hour so Ryan Seacrest can make a special appearance. Wow, a waste of time.
Finally, after ten hours of waiting in the sun. It was my turn. I sang for twenty seconds and was so relieved to be done with the day. I still had to get to work and teach a few dance lessons. I didn't care about moving onto the next round, the whole idea behind this show is ridiculous.
It was amazing sitting there for ten hours and people watch. The biggest disappointment is that all these people can come together to try and make it onto a silly t.v. show, but this many people can't come together for cause that is more important to the world. I feel sorry for the people that live for this show. People should live for something that really matters.
