I auditioned for the X Factor quite a while ago now for the next series of 2006. What a day to remember, how can I forget!!
Well Dad drove me up, it was on a Saturday (I had the day off work especially, all the staff in Woolworths where I work, gave me a lot of support and gave me a lovely card signed by all of them!) I loved it, I knew I had to have all the supprot I could get . I Brought my auntie and my cousin with me for moral support. I had to que up for three whole hours, my feet were hurting me like anything, but not just that it was absolutley pouring down with rain. I was soaked to the bone, luckily enough my auntie had an unbrella.(Next day, i had an awful cold for weeks!!) After 3 long painful hours standing in the rain, I was finally inside. I had to que to get my sticker number then I had to go in the waiting area with the other 7,000. There was loads of people, it was incrediable. I waited a very long time, I was near enough last on still I knew it would be worth it. When I sat in there, there was video cameras everywhere. The producers were going round each and every corner videoing almost everyone, and asking them questions like is this your first time singing live etc! They didn't come on to me, unfortunately there was so many people, I dont think they would of managed to film us all, however one time the cameras were facing in my direction when the producers interviewed this guy! I thought act natural, I might be on tv. After hours on end, I was up
for the first time in my life I was shaking like a leaf. Unfortunatley Simon Cowell, Sharon Ozbourne and Louis Walsh was not there because they were doing Celebrity X Factor at the time, therfore I ended up singing infront of the producers. Well I gave it my all, I sang Cant Help Lovin Dat Man Of Mine from Show Boat! Unfortunately I didn't make it through, however I can always try again next year. All I got to remember is that it all comes with experience. I have had a few let downs and I can prove people wrong. I am not going to give up, this is just the beginning. I knew that if the panel were there that day, I reckon I would of got through, how do I know? Well a couple of weeks ago on the X Factor and girl sang Time To Say Goodbye, well she had an unusal voice which people say to me. Well who knows!! I will try again next year and thats not all. I have already applied already for the next series of How To Solve The Problem Like Maria with Graham Norton ITV , and Brian Conolly's Let Me Entertain You BBC2. So look out guys, I need your votes .
