  2. Emily

    Hi my name is Emily and I
    I’m 16 years old. I’ve always been a very shy kid, but believe it or not, I”ve found out that the stage is the only real place I can shine and be myself and I’ve been singing ever since I was 9 years old. My some of my main singing role models are Liona Lewis, Adele, Megan Trainor, Ariana Grande, John Legend, Bruno Mars, Boyce Avenue, and Ed Sheeran. I sing constantly and everywhere hoping and praying somehow I’ll get my dream and I think that Rising Star could be the chance I’ve been dreaming about every night. Singing is my life. Please make the decision that I will be a good addition for a season of Rising Star. Thank you so much for your consideration.

When I sing it’s like everyone that’s bullied me or thought I am nothing goes away the feeling of joy runs over and the world around me stops . Im 22 . I do have a country voice . Here’s a link to a video I did on YouTube

  5. Nicole Gerber

    Hi there!

    I am a female, my name is Nicole Gerber, I’m 20 years old and I am currently a junior/student-athlete at Marist College in New York. I’ve played highly competitive soccer all my life and it took up essentially all of my time, not allowing me to take singing lessons or really devote much time to develop my voice. However, I’m starting lessons in January of 2015, so I’m super super excited about that! I sing whenever I get the chance, whether it’s in my car, or in the shower, and I even won a college-wide talent show one time. Being on that stage gave me such enjoyment and excitement and I am truly passionate about singing. I am ready to work extremely hard and do anything it takes to be a competitive singer on ABC’s Rising Star (a great, new idea for a show if I might add) given the chance! I won’t let you down 🙂

    Thank you so much for reading this,

    Nicole

  6. Madalyn McHugh

    I would like to be considered to be a contestant on Rising Star because I know I can make a difference in the world through singing! I am 21 years old and am a voice student at Saginaw Valley State University and have been singing and peforming since I was 7. During my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to go to Nashville and record my very first independent contemporary Christian album at Dark Horse recording. Since then, I have been going around to different churches, fairs, festivals, etc singing my music and other favorite covers. My goal is to give a sense of hope and inspiration through my music. Singing is my whole life and will always be but being a contestant on the show would allow me to share hope and encouragement to a wider range of people! I believe in music and I believe in chasing your dreams. This is my dream! Thank you for your consideration!

  17. Tenita Brown

    Hi,
    I have been singing since the age of 5. I have done talent shows through out my child life. As an adult I have been in studios since in 2010 doing back up for local artist and I have also recorded 24 songs of my own personally. I go to school online for Graphic Design. I have a 6 year old daughter who follows in my footsteps of singing also. I honestly believe the only reason I have not been discovered is because the right people have not heard me sing. I need real constructive criticism from strangers not friends and family. This would be a great experience and opportunity for just that. I just moved to Apple Valley california with my parents so they could help me with my daughter while I pursue my dreams of music. I really hope you give me a chance. Thanks in advance.

  18. Anne Grove

Basically, I’m ready to take it to the next level, and I would love a chance to audition for this show.

    Please contact me,

  22. Zuri Cavell-Allette

    Hi, I’m Zuri. I know that there is already a lot of “singing is my passion” already, but singing is really all i’ve got when it comes to me being successful. This would be major for me! School is not my strong suit and I know now that my life isn’t heading in the academic direction. I’m a 16 year old multi-racial young lady who wants to make it far. I know that I am going to be successful in life, and singing is how i’m going to get there. I want to make the people in my life ( parents for the most part) proud of me and more importantly I want to leave this earth knowing I was AMAZING at something I love and good at. This opportunity would be huge in changing my life for the better, before I leave I want to make the most of my life and have fun doing it!
    Thank you
    Z

  23. Kevin Moore

    Hello!! My name is Kevin Moore. I have been singing in a band called Tuscan Road for seven years in Wisconsin. I recently followed the love of my life in her traveling nursing journey so the band life had to come to an end. I cannot even explain the feeling I get when I am able to perform and share my talent of singing with others. I am an energetic, fun filled performer that would love the opportunity to show his enthusiasm to Rising Star!!! 🙂

    Hi my name is ximena and I’ve been singing since I was 5 years old. Just something about singing just makes my whole day brighten. I’ve been in my school talent shows every year and it’s just. Something that I love to do. My dream has always been to become a singer and make my dream reality and this is one step closer into making that dream come true.

  25. Elise Williams

    Hi my name is Elise but I prefer Ellie, I am 13 years-old and singing is my life. I have been singing since before I could speak full sentences! I sing in church and in the musicals we put on at our school. At my school Lanier Middle School we put on the production “13” the broadway musical and I received the part of Patrice(the lead women role). I love singing and showing off my style. Although I haven’t ever written a song, I always try to change the melody into my own style! Besides singing, my other hobbies are soccer, dancing(I’m not very good though), drawing, writing, acting, and hanging out with friends. I may not have the “cool” factor but I definitely know how to rock out on stage! Please consider giving me a chance because I bet I can blow your crowd away! E-mail me back at: williams.ellie.a@gmail.com! Can’t wait to see you there!!!!

  26. Phillip Wood

    Singing has been my passion ever since I was a little boy. If I make it on Rising Star, I will show the world that I have the drive, passion, and the right attitude to be in the music industry. I have auditioned for many other shows such as American idol, the Voice, America’s got talent and didn’t get much luck. Just to finally have that platform to stand on, and finally see my dream come true will be amazing for me. I believe that I am truly ready to show the world who I am and that a future star is on the way.

  28. Katie Fatigato

    Hello, my name is Katie Fatigato.
    I have been singing ever since I could remember. My parents are always talking about how when I was 2 I would be sitting in the back of there car hitting a ton of notes to songs on the radio. I used to live in vegas and they had auditions for modeling, acting and singing. I was picked 1 out of 5,000 people to join there acting team. Unfortunately at the time I did not have the $500 to give. The original price for photos and acting classes were closer to around $3,000 dollars. The production was willing to comedown that much in there price. I didn’t come from a family with money but I feel that dreams really could come true. I have been involved in church choir, show choir and different school productions. I also write my own music! Im always singing for karaoke and the crowd goes wild! I love all music, and It would be an honor and a dream to be apart of any of your singing production! I know I could be your Rising Star!

  29. Rebekah Ricketts

    One thing I’ve always wanted to do was be an entertainer! I knew since I was 6 years old! I do love to sing and I’m going to make that my career, not only that but I want to make acting a career as well.
    Rising star sound like a great show, it would be amazing if I could entertain Rising stars audience. There is one thing I want everyone to know about me. I don’ just want to become a singer or and actress for the money. I want to be in the performing arts business for a reason! I want to perform for people, its not about the money. When i sing i like to make people feel a certain way. For example you know when you see a movie and when you walk out of the movie theater you suddenly feel different.?.well that right there was the movie that you saw, the actors were the ones who made you feel different inside! Isn’t that feeling great? I absolutely like that feeling that the actors made me feel different in a good way of course! That is exactly what i want to do with my singing career. I’m 17 years old by the way and I know that rising star would be a great show to go on. Alright Rising Star! You asked me to tell you why I would. Like to be apart of this show and I did. I want to be on Rising star so I can entertain the world!

  30. Benjamin Nicklaus

    Hello my name is Benjamin Nicklaus, I have been singing since I was 6 years old starting in my church choir. As I moved from state to state with my family, and going through my parents divorce, I ended up living in Naples Florida. I performed with the Naples Philharmonic for 7 years performing 3 solo performances and received training from a world renowned maestro Eric Kunzel. After performing I joined the Marine Corps where I was injured and had to come back to the civilian life. I slowly worked back into my music writing christian music, and now a song I wrote for my daughter called “Daddy’s Girl Prayer” won an international song writing competition. Another song I wrote called Prayer Redeemer has become a huge hit in my town where I have performed it at 2 different churches. I am known throughout Naples Florida as Josh Groban Jr. because I sing a lot of his music, though I can’t compare to him, he is my idol. I would be a perfect fit for this audition because music is my life, everything about music inspires me, and I am actually majoring in music production and entertainment business for a career. I will stop at nothing to make it in this very difficult industry. Please select me for a chance to excel my life in the Music World.

  31. Tawnee Rae

    Singing is my dream I wanna touch people and their lives with my music, and I wanna bring something new into the music industry because everything on the radio is starting to sound same. It’s the same sound over and over and it’s getting really old I get bored easily if the music style doesn’t get changed up. I love practically any kind of music from classical/hard rock/pop/rap/country/etc. I’ve been singing sense I was little and it’s been a dream of mine to sing on stage and make a CD and see the world. I just wanna prove to the world and myself that dreams can be obtained if you have the strength to take a risk and try. I’m now 21yrs old I’m a girl, I’m about 5’4″ brown hair, I write lyrics and sing. I’ve been writing lyrics sense about the time I could write them down on paper. I’m also a dancer I’ve been dancing sense I was little and I’ve even been in a few plays which have been my outlet for singing until I can make a CD and it’s just a whole lot of fun. I don’t really know what I’d do if I wasn’t on a stage singing/dancing/acting God has blessed me with so many ways to express myself and grow into the person/artist I am today and I’m ready for the next step. I’m a born artist I paint, draw, sing, dance, act, it’s in my blood it’s just who I am. I would like to bring in some of the old rock sound from the 60s-80s and cross it with classical/classic pop or something like that. I just wanna shake things up in a quiet yet huge way. Thank you for your consideration look foreword to the opportunity. Oh and let the world rock on!

  32. Lovasia Clemente

    “The under dog … you’re getting older … your time has passed … you’re not skiiny and marketable, but you can really sing …” ….. I have heard it all, but you can’t have the talent and gifts to sing, perform and write as well as I do and not given an honest and meaninigful shot to present yourself to the world to really see that you have ‘it’ … My time hasn’t passed and talent along with a driven and humble hunger still trumps looks and being ‘marketable’ any day … PLEASE GIVE ME MY ONE DAY TO SHOW YOU AND THE WORLD THE ‘SOMETHING’ I HAVE INSIDE… humbly

  33. Serenity Frase

Thank you and have a wonderful day! =D

  34. Breya Williams

    Year after year I tell myself that I will audition for some show to display who I am, and year after year I never get the courage to go. My entire life has consisted of others believing in my talent more than myself. My thought process has always been, “someone else is better.” I have walked this earth for 23 years and I have yet to stand in a room with someone who could outshine me. I would hate to lay on my death bed and wonder, “what if I could have been amazing.” Everyone says singing is their passion or its like life or like breathing. To me singing is my identity given to me. This is my first step. The excitement and passion is reaming from my fingertips even in this small reply. Do more than consider me take me. Its about time.

I am learning how to play the piano and am starting to write my own songs. I have a lot of soul in my singing and would love for people to hear me.

  37. Alexis Hamlet

  43. Jacob Crouch

    Hi everyone, my name is Jacob Daniel Crouch. I am a 20 year old lush employee and college student in Spring Tx. I have dreamt of being a singer since I was little and have tried to pursue singing through modeling competitions. I am also I dancer, I have done ballet, modern, hip-hop, and belly dancing. I grew up listening to my mother and father sing. They would always write music and record it. My mom has actually been on the radio for her song (‘The American Soldier’ by Melanie and Daniel), which her and my father wrote for our troops. I have always been fascinated with arts, being a dancer, model, singer, and pianist. My hope is that one day I will be able to meet my idols and perform with them on stage. Friends call me the male Christina Aguilera and have avidly supported my dream of singing to inspire people to be who they are. I hope that you will consider me, recruit me for the show, and allow me to prove to you that I have all the potential to become the next Rising Star!

  44. Marzely Darbouze

    Hey my name is Marzely Darbouze. I’m 18 and I’m from Billerica, MA. At a young age I knew that God had a plan for me. My middle name Christella means, “Christ was here” in my second language Creole. My mother gave me that middle name for a reason. Since day one God has been there for me and I know he’ll continue to be here for this journey. I have been singing since I was seven years old and my love for music continues to grow every single day. Singing is my escape from anything stressful in my life. I’m currently going to school to become a corporate lawyer but my family and I know that my true passion is to become an incredible singer that young girls look up to. The journey won’t be easy but I am ready to put in all of the hard work in order to make my dream come true. I would be honored to be apart of this show. I pray I get this chance because I won’t disappoint!

  45. Nicole

I am talented, hardworking, crazy, funny, outgoing, and caring. The one thing i have always wanted to do was make a difference in other people’s life, if i had an opportunity like this i can tell you and promise you that it would be the best decision you could make. I am a huge movie fan and its always been a dream of mine to act. If i was considered for this part i would prove to you how much i am willing to work and be successful at it. I could go on and tell you all my qualities and keep telling you why you should give me this opportunity but i am sure you have heard it all. All i can say is that it would not be a mistake if you gave me this opportunity and i would not let anyone down.

  47. Kyle Weintraub

    Hi, my name is Kyle, i’m 29 years old and singing is my passion. I’ve been singing since I can remember. I currently reside in Orange County, CA. I don’t want to sit here and tell you that this is my dream and want to be famous because i’m sure you get that all the time, what I will tell you is that I sing because it makes me happy and its what I love to do. It runs in my family. From my mother, to my Aunt who is a cantor up in San Francisco. I’m a very competitive person and love performing in front of people. When I get a microphone in front of my face, it’s like everything I’ve been through so far in life and the people that I have lost, seems to disappear. I can’t let this opportunity pass me up and get to express the type of singer and person I’ve become. Thank you for your time and hope I get a shot at a once in a lifetime opportunity.

  51. Blair Egan Watkins

    Hi! My name is Blair Egan, I am 21 years old from North Carolina who now resides in Los Angeles to pursue a career in fashion. The reason I should be considered for this opportunity is because singing is simply my passion, there is not a time throughout my day that I don’t catch myself singing. Since being in Los Angeles and pursuing my fashion marketing career I have come to the realization that fashion is really NOT my passion, my passion is singing as I noted above and am willing to devote 100% to my singing career. I come from a very strong music background from the blues to opera. I have the upmost confidence and an amazing stage presence that will always keep a crowd entertained. I would be a perfect candidate to be selected for a spot in your competition. I am looking forward to hearing back from you!

    Best regards,
    Blair Egan Watkins

    There is a million reasons i should be considered for Rising Star. Im 27 year old female with a powerful voice. My YouTube video should be enough to get me on the show. I was told after my performance i should be on The Voice. But i’m willing to do either The Voice or Rising Star. I have a voice that many said everyone should be heard. I hope you agree. Thanks. youtube.com/watch?v=xJlGWoRyM48

    It has always been a dream of mine to help others. One day I was so depressed that I was gonna end it all, then a song came on. Scars Papa Roach. That song saved my life and I want to give that back to America. The hopes and savor music can be. I really want to be apart of it. Because who knows it might inspire someone else like it inspired me.

  59. kaley

    Hey guys!! my name is kaley, im 17 and a senior in high school. Born and raised in Toledo Ohio, im 5′ 6″ with icey blue/grey colored eyes, light brown hair and im white. im not exactly sure what im writing about but i can tell you about why id love to be on the show!:) ever since i was little i have wanted to be on tv for singing. the music i relate to and love the most is country. artists that ive always looked up to are carrie underwood, kelly clarkson, brad paisley, blake shelton, randy travis, i could go on and on haha! every time im singing it not only makes me happy but it always boosts my energy and reminds me of my dreams to perform in front of millions of people some day. i do write my own songs also. there are about 55 currently. if i could have one wish, it would be for me to be a singer, performing songs for people and letting them know that if you work hard enough for something, it really can happen. you cant give up so easily when times get rough. for someone to cheer you on about something you love but may have a little trouble with at one point, it feels amazing! being on this show, or even the voice, anything, it would make not only my day or that week, but it would make my whole life. just to be on that stage singing for other people:) if i get this chance, please contact me by phone or email, (5673220120) or (kaleyfritz123@gmail.com) please call or contact me if you are only wanting me to audition, thank you!!

  60. Kayleen Hyde

    I am writing for my sister. She is a gorgeous girl with a great voice. But what stops her from trying out on these shows? She’s shy. I’m really tired of it. She has a strong amazing voice and I am trying my best that she could break her shell and audition. I think this might be her year. We all believe in her. I just wished she believed in herself

  61. Lexy Cigainero

    My name is Lexy and I am 16 years old. I come from a small but steady growing town and have always aspired to make it further in my music career. I’m growing up on a small farm and show cattle so naturally I have a love for country music! The country genre tells a story and I want to tell my stories through music. It’s always been my dream to become a country singer and I plan on being the next Carrie underwood! I believe I have the talent and determination to impress America all I need is one chance! That’ll you for your time and consideration! I’ll see you in Nashville(:

  62. Amanda Ellis

    I don’t have a heck of a lot to say except that I am passionate about singing, music in general, and have been since I was very young! I’m 30yr old wife and mother who is also teaching her daughter to love music as much as her momma! Contests, karaoke, just for fun, you name it, I do it. I would absolutely love to be a part of your show not to get my ‘2 minutes of fame’, that doesn’t matter to me. I want to start a new chapter of life with the support of my family and to show my daughter that no matter how old you are, you’re always able to make your DREAMS come true!!! <3

  63. Kristina

    I have always enjoyed singing. Singing is my passion! I was a part of my high school chorus for 4 years. I attended many contests and received solos. I have always been really shy and lacking confidence; singing has allowed me to open up and express myself. I have also used singing to recover from a severe eating disorder. It gave me something to focus on other than my strict eating habits and exercise routines. Music has a healing power, and I want to share it with the world.

  64. Perry Phillips

    Hello, I am a College freshman and 19 years old. I want to be on rising star because it is an opportunity for me to show the world who I am and what I am here for. All through high school I was bullied because I was just being myself. I have went through depression which led to me cutting and eventually thoughts of suicide. Thanks to my mentor Demi, I completely changed my demeanor and attitude becoming more confident. I currently do attend anti-bully programs and also lead a group for high school students who need mentoring. I choose to be on this show so that I can show these bullies that we are all unique in our own way and exactly what success we are all capable of. Singing is a way for me to make negative things into something positive or to give a person a smile when it is much needed. I hope I get considered to actually come to your show. Thanks

  65. Lucy N

    I have always loved to sing I can’t go a day without doing it I’m also in my schools glee club because it is my biggest passion I also watch disney channel every day to try and hope to be like them. I’m a girl named Lucy and I’m not very skinny and some people say I should lose weight and I try but I honestly think it’s who I am. I was in the volleyball team at my school and I always listen to music no matter what kind. A-little about me is I came from Ethiopia and I think that makes me unique. Thank you

  66. Stacey Scott

  68. Brittany

    I have been singing all my life. I learned to read music before I could even read English. I also have a story behind my music that you can hear in my voice. I love to sing soul and jazz standards but I have also done covers of everything in between. I can honestly say that I love music more than anyone I know, inside and out. I love to listen and discover new artists as well as make music with my band and friends whenever I can. I look the part and I have the personality to back up my skills, which are impressive. I have solid tone and strong intuition and natural talent. I also have good control and pitch due to a lifetime of living in a highly musical family. I realistically believe that I have the work ethic and passion that it takes to be a star. Here are a few links of rough demos, recorded live in one take.

  69. Rachel

    Hi there, I’m rachel. I’m 19 years old, and live in Weymouth, Massachusetts. I am currently not in college, but I am planning on going to Berklee College of Music in the spring. I have been singing for as long as I can remember and I taught myself guitar a few years ago. I’m currently teaching myself mandoline, and after that I’d love to learn more! I also enjoy songwriting. I written probably about 20 songs..with more on the way. My goal in life is to help people with my music. I don’t want to be categorized as a certain genre, I just wanna play and sing what I feel at the moment…weather it be rock or folk or whatever. All the songs I write are relatable with almost everyone, and that’s what I aim for. Not to write meaningless songs, but to sing/write songs that people can understand, and songs that can even change a persons life for the better. Because I’ve been in rough and dark times, but music helped me pass those bumps. So I want to do the same with my music for someone else…even if it’s just one person it’s all worth it to me.

  70. RJ Krasinski

    My name is RJ Krasinski. I learned to sing in an Assembly of God Church.
    I want the opportunity to let my voice be heard publicly for the first time outside of the Church.
    I sing Rhythm/Blues style with emotion. I have a loud voice with a broad range. I learned to develop my skill for singing popular music while singing along with famous singers on YouTube.
    I can’t turn down this chance of a lifetime or I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.
    I just need your help. I will greatly appreciate having a spot to display what is truly inside of me.
    Sincerely yours, RJ Krasinski

  73. Tiana Tulloch

    Hello, my name is Tiana Tulloch. I am 17 years old, and I live in Decatur, Alabama. I have been singing for 10 years and taught myself how to play guitar a year ago. I have performed at various venues including churches, talent shows, special events, and community events. My dream for my future is to be a world renowned Christian Music Artist. I have always loved the stage, but what better way to spread God across the world than through music. I am confident in my voice and I know that it is unique, but I am still tremendously humble. I take every bit of critique with an accepting attitude and I use it accordingly. I may have a voice but I am not a professional, yet. I can and will win Rising Star if you just give me the opportunity. I give my 110% in everything I do and I am rather competitive. Other than a music artist I am a songwriter, choreographer, and dancer. I am not naive either, I know that the music industry is a very competitive industry and fame isn’t an overnight thing but I also know that I can handle it. In my case age is but a number. I am very mature for my age and I know how to manage my feelings and time according to whatever is on my agenda. I will not disappoint when I am on the show. Just give me the opportunity. Thank you for your time, and I pray that consider me as a contestant.
