So AI is going to be in my home town in two weeks and I am being drug to audition....
I know I can sing...but I am kinda scared I am not good enough....
Any suggestions...ideas....advice.....
1. get on Simon's good side
2. wear abikni like bikini girl did last year..LOL !
3. don't whine like Tati anna, or whatever her name was .
no seriously hon, be yourself. Find a simple song to sing, that displays your vocals. Don't go for any well known song from some top artist caus e they don't seem to like that.
If you don't make it, you don't make it, but you never know tell you try. I wish you luck. :)
I'm envious. If i was a few years younger i would try out,
That's very cool. Good luck!
G'luck, Drac!
Yes, you definitely want to do something that shows off your voice, but if you can do a song that was written purely for voice (no musical accompaniment), even better. When in choir competition, I would do Sea Fever, no music, just voice. Big hit with the judges for it. Not saying you should do something that slow, of course... something a bit more modern... but definitely find one that's aimed to show off the vocalist's talent more than the music.
How exciting! I hope you do well!
Find a gimick. They do pre-judging prior to the judging done by Simon and everyone. Even awesome singers are turned away before getting to the "real" judges if they don't think the singer is "interesting" enough for TV. Strange clothes, strange hair, sob story etc. Something besides your talent to make you stand out round one.
Good luck!

Wear garb!!
OMG! Garb! YES!
Good Luck hun!!!!
Ok Drac, AI was in Dallas last night. Any news?
I didn't see Drac ... or anyone in garb ...
If you auditioned in Dallas, then I (sadly) assume you didn't make their cut. Did you audition? Was it fun? Did you get positive feedback? Like it was said above, even the best voices get cut simply because they are looking to cast a show for viewer interest and not simply raw talent.
do a renaissance themed tune.... and wear a low-cut bodice. haha.
She cannot say if she made the cut or not. If they do they get DQ'd. They just DQ'd one contestant as their father told the local paper their kid made it to the Semi Finals.
lets hope she made it and they just didn't show her.
Well as soon as you're allowed to tell us let us all know!
The Idol webpage (I thought) had clips of all the recipients of golden tickets.
We don't want to encourage Drac to do anything against the rules. Hold your tongue girl, we can wait until you are free to dish the dirt. :)
Don't quote me on this , but the last time i talked to Dracconia about this subject ( Dracconia and I are close friends ) she told me she had decided not to try out. Of course this was a month or two ago when we were discussing this subject. So the reason you may not have seen here, is because she did not audition. Of course if she did change her mind and audition, like already mentioned before, she cannot tell anyone yet. :)
