    I would like to be on the show rising star because I have been singing since I was two. There’s nothing more that I love to do than singing. I am constantly told by people when I sing that I need to try out for show like this one and I feel that right now is a perfect time. I am a 19 year old brasilain American college student. I am very spunky and extremely outgoing I won class clown at my high school last year. I would really love the opportunity go showcase my voice and I hope you give me the chance !!

  2. Sanniyah Bey

    Hello! My name is Sanniyah Bey and I’m 15 years of age. It has always been my dream into becoming a singer and getting big since the day I was born I been in many singing related things and everyone always tells me to get myself out there more and I think this is a great way to do so. This would mean so much to me if I get chosen to come in a compete.. Being able to say ” I got big by the Tv show Rising Star” would be a honor to use the name in that form of way. I’m currently enrolled In School Of Rock, which is where we perform around the neighborhood and do covers of songs. I play guitar and I sing. I been singing all my life… I been involved in musicals such as the wizard of oz, whistle down the wind, beauty and the beast, Aladdin, and many more. Please consider me into representing the tv show (:

  3. Taylor

    Hello there,
    I am Taylor Bernal. I am a 18 year old Hispanic female that is a sophomore at Texas State University. I enjoy singing , meeting new people , going to different places, and as simple as it sounds, living my life. I have received many comments to pursue either singing or acting but I have been timid before. Now, I finally have the courage to put myself out there. I am living the college life and I am hoping this comment will be read and will help change my life because I honestly think I can do it. When I sing I put my heart and soul into it, so it is something I love doing and I would also love to be given the opportunity to be on the show. I have put two pictures in my application and if need be I can gladly send more. I feel like describing yourself in person(or at least seeing pictures) is much better than reading words about someone you have no idea about because you yourself have to envision what they look like and it’s super odd because everyone here is describing themselves, so I feel as if I should do the same.
    Height: 5’05
    Weight: 125
    Hair color: Brown
    State: TX
    City: originally Dallas (but now San Marcos because I go to school there)
    Talent: singing and social skills oh and I can totally kill a medium pizza all by myself, it’s quite lovely.

    So, I’m being 100% honest and I’m just trying to stand out of all of these comments and I really do hope y’all read these because I think I am capable and I am ready to chase this version of the American dream.

    Thank you for your time .

  7. Lila

    Hi,

    My name is Lila and I simply love to sing. I am 10 years old and I have been singing since I was 2. My mom and dad say I have a beautiful voice and so they encouraged me to email you in the hopes that you will consider me. I sing with my school’s choral ensemble which is an elective. This means you can choose to sing or do something else. I will be in 5th grade this fall 2014 and plan to audition for the a cappella group at my school. Right now I am learning to sing Sarah McLaughlin’s “Angel” and also learning how to play the notes on the piano. Often times when I am at home and bored, I go to the piano and teach myself the notes to songs I like. I have an older sister who is 15 years old and she loves to sing as well. She is my inspiration. I hope you will read this and want to meet me!

  11. casey lassiter

    HELLO EVERYONE!!
    My name is Casey Lassiter and I love to sing. Every minute of every day I incorporate music into my life in one way or another. It has been a life long dream of mine to become recognized for my singing abilities! Not only because I highly enjoy the freedom of expression, but I would find great satisfaction out of connecting to people all over the world through my music. If chosen for this opportunity or any other opportunity that is related, I would accept the invitation with grace and enthusiasm! I am willing to dedicate as much time as needed to any project and would highly enjoy learning as much as I can about the movie/music business. I know there are thousands, if not millions of people applying for an audition…but if there is anyone that truly wants this more than anything..that person is me!! I have never been so driven about getting myself out there as I am right now. Please contact me if you would like to work with me! It would be my pleasure to work with you all! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my comments. Good luck to you all!

  14. Abrianna Belvedere

    My name is Abrianna and when I was about 3 years old my family started to say, “She hits the ground singing,” because I say every moment of the day.
    I was in my 4th and 5th grade elementary school ‘County Honors Choir” and was voted most valuable in 5th grade,
    I played the role of Alice in “Alice in Wonderland’ the musical in 5th grade and play Jasmine in our 7th grade production of ‘Aladdin’ also a musical. Recently, I played the lead role in my 8th grade production of ‘Hairspray’. It was a lot of fun.
    I sang in the 100 Girl Choir which was formed by girls across Georgia to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts.
    I also sang the National Anthem at Ted Turner Field / Braves Stadium before an Atlanta Braves game. It was Chipper Jones’ last game. It was an incredible honor.
    This past June I traveled to Ayre, Scotland with the CMYC choir and sang in many performances representing my hometown of Newnan, GA.
    Singing has brought so many wonderful opportunities to me. I would love to have the chance to audition to sing on “Rising Star’, Thank you!

  15. Dale G.

    Hello,
    My name is Dale and I am twenty three years old. I have been singing for over seventeen
    years, I took professional lessons for over twelve years. I have had a dream of becoming the next big thing since I was very young. I am a well seasoned, classically trained tenor. I have been performing my entire life, whenever I have had the chance. I sing a crossover between pop and classical, a very similar genre to what Josh Groban had sung before in the past. I would do anything just to be considered for the opportunity to sing in front of people in the industry.

I don’t have much experience with singing but i would definitely love to learn more.

    I am 14 years old about to turn 15 I am a rising 9th grader. I was 13 when I picked up my first microphone and sang in front of people. I had stage fright, I was afraid to sing in front of people because I thought they wouldn’t like my voice, after that performance everybody loved my voice Ever since then people have asked me to sing for their church and stuff. I love to sing and music is my life. Sometimes in my room and I just pick up the remote and pretend I’m on a stage and sing for about 2 hrs.
    It would mean the world to me to be on this show, and to show people my real talent

  29. Danica Donaldson

    My name is Danica and I started singing as soon as I could talk. I was raised in a small town in Arizona and country music is in my blood. One of my first dreams was to sing with Dolly Parton and the Oakridge boys at the Grand Ole Opry. I love singing country, musical theater and anything else that lets me belt it out. I’ve had people tell me for years that I need to go on one of these shows but I always thought it would be a “to good to be true” scenario but I finally decided to give it a go. Singing isn’t just a thing I do, it’s part of who I am and I’d love to be given the chance to show you what I’ve got.

  30. Amanda Cowell

    Hello!
    My name is Amanda Cowell, I am 18 years old, and I know I have what it takes to be on Rising Star. It’s a little cliche, but ever since I was little I have loved to perform, whether it be in front of my family or just randomly alone on a playground. And when I was about 8, upon hearing me sing, a teacher said vaguely, “I look forward to seeing you on Broadway,” and from then on a simple statement took over my life, and I didn’t even know what Broadway was. I just knew that it was something wonderful. I hope that I get this chance to sing, because I know that it would mean something wonderful as well.

  31. marco

  33. josh hornick a.k.a Elliott stone

    Hi my name is joshua hornick stage name Elliott stone. I am a divorced father and truck driver. I have been singing since I was 14 years old, I sing every day while I drive on the road. I can sing proficiently in rock and country and I am especially good at the punk rock genre, I have been compared to a mix between billy Joel of green day and axel rose. My biggest regret is hiding my singing talent, I never sung for my grandmother who died recently and I’d love for my parents to see what I can do on a larger scale. My father recently got diagnosed with prostate cancer and whether or not this is the way he finds out I don’t want to hide from those I love the thing I love to do so much anymore.

    Ello I am Narcia Alphonse,
    I’m 19 with the dream of being a singer. I always had a passion for it so I try to teach myself the best way I know . I been in choir and I am able to be alto and soprano. I would love to give it a shot to at least get that feeling I can do it. I am different from a lot of people but when it comes to my dreams I am willing to do what it takes.

  38. David Griffin

    I have been a singer my whole life and I have the passion and dream of someday sharing my gift with the world. I am a father of 4 children and have been married for 23 years. I had to put my dream on hold a few times in order to raise my family but I have always tried to get myself heard anytime I could get the chance whether singing gospel in church and entering talent contest from time to time. I am 42 and still yearn to have the chance to let the world hear me sing and have them decide on my degree of talent. I have raised up my children to the age that I can invest some time in pursuing my dream now. I know if given the opportunity to be heard I will meet and exceed the expectations of whoever hears me. I have always had people ask me why I don’t get on these TV shows that are out today and since hearing of rising star where the people make the decision I felt a calling to try and get on the show. I know there are many people who want a chance but I feel I deserve one last shot of making it to the next level so I hope my feeling is right about this one. I am a country music singer but not limited to just country I can sing and perform on many genres of music. I am told I am a heavy hitting ballad singer who brings it from the heart and I feel this is a pretty good view of the type of performer I am. Thank You!!

  45. Pietra Grillo

    Hi, I’m Pietra Grillo. I am 15 years old with big dreams and a strong voice that wants to be heard. I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember. Singing isn’t just a hobby to me. It’s literally my life, and if i didn’t find it, I don’t know where I would be today. When I sing I feel like I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. My confidence just sky rockets when I start to sing. I want to be able to share it with the world. I want to show young kids that it’s okay to stick out and quirky and awkward. You’re fine being yourself. Make your mark, and don’t worry what others may think because you have to do what makes you happy, and singing is the one thing that makes me the happiest. I want to make people happy when I sing.

  47. Heather Robinson

    Hi, my name is Heather. I’m 15 turning 16 in August. I live in Goodrich, Michigan. I’ve been singing since I was 3 years old. I’m a nice and outgoing girl, I’m a very bubbly person. I’ve been in talent shows, choir concerts with solos, I sang at my grandpa’s lunch-in when he died. I’ve been working on getting over my stage fright. So I was hoping to get on this show to show everyone that I’m not afraid to be in front of everyone and be on stage. I want to show my grandpa and uncle up in heaven that I can do it and I have faith and courage in myself. I also want to show my mom I can do it. I want to brighten up her life.

  48. Heather Robinson

    Hi, my name is Heather. I’m 15 turning 16 in August. I’ve been singing since I was 3 years old. I’m a nice and outgoing girl, I’m a very bubbly person. I’ve been in talent shows, choir concerts with solos, I sang at my grandpa’s lunch-in when he died. I’ve been working on getting over my stage fright. So I was hoping to get on this show to show everyone that I’m not afraid to be in front of everyone and be on stage. I want to show my grandpa and uncle up in heaven that I can do it and I have faith and courage in myself. I also want to show my mom I can do it. I want to brighten up her life. It’s been hard for my family and I. My mom is facing leukemia right now and I just want to show her I can do it and I want to make her happy.

  50. Bryant Clements

    Hey guys! My name’s Bryant and I want to be the next Rising Star! I am 43 and have been singing for many years,but could never quite catch my big break. I lived in L.A. for 10yrs. and sang in a band with Athena Lee “Tommy Lee from Motley Crue’s sister” and have recorded with James Kottak from “The Scorpions” and Bruce Kulick from “Kiss” I have the experience and talent to hang with the best of them! My cousin,who was a great inspiration for me,passed away a few years ago. Him and I were the only musicians in our family and we sounded incredible together. He came to visit L.A. once,but unfortunately didn’t stay. I would love to finally have the chance,that we never got,to show the World what they have been missing! I would also like to do this for my parents,who have been so supportive over the years of me chasing this dream and taught me never to give up.

  55. Randy

    My name is Randy Taylor and I’m a 25 year old vocal jazz/pop crooner. Buble, Tony Bennett, Harry Connick Jr., and Nat King Cole are just a few of my favorites. Rising Stars needs a winner who willingly and skillfully excels with any genre presented to him. It would be a lifetime thrill to propel Rising Star as a prominent TV program, while also blessing the world with distinguished and exceptional low tenor/high baritone crooning. The world needs to expose people entirely dedicated to hard work, perfecting the vocal craft, and performing with technical skill. I, Randy Taylor, am your man!

  56. Gary Miller

  58. Amanda Cross

    I have been singing my whole life. I have also said I was going to pursue my music seriously and never did. When my dad passed away unexpectedly it was the wake up call I needed that I wasn’t fulfilling my purpose in life. I have more drive than most, and I promise you won’t be let down. I am going to be successful, just a matter of which outlet. 🙂

  60. Darrell Banks

    Hi my name is Darrell Banks Jr. but everyone calls me DJ. I am 18 years old and music is the reason that keeps me happy and it gives me the strength to keep moving forward. Singing is like my superpower when I sing I go into a world in which I feel that nothing can touch me and nothing else matters in that moment. I have always wanted to be a singer I have been singing since the first time I seen a Michael Jackson video. So like if I ever got the chance to become a star and have millions of fans that adore me I would take that chance because there is nothing I would rather do than to be a person that could brighten up anyone’s day and put a smile on their face. So, therefore if I got the chance of a lifetime and actually make it into the entertainment industry I wouldn’t have just made it but everyone in this beautiful world would have made it too because I’m not just doing this for me but I’m doing this for everyone because I believe that I can change the world into a better place.

That is my desire, to be on stage and entertain thousands all at once.
