  1. Mirayah

    Hello there (: my name is Mirayah. I am 15 years old from a city called Murrieta in California. It would mean the world to me if I could showcase my talent to the world. I’ve auditioned for countless tv shows, and I’ve gotten so close, but not quite reached where I want to be. Singing is my life, and only if I knew how to get started in my music career I would have a looong time ago (: But I truly believe this is my chance. Thanks so much for your time. :]

  2. Julie McKnight

    Hello my name is Julie, I live in Seal Beach California, I am 47 and I’ve been singing all of my life. I started singing at home with my family and it has always been my passion. Both my parents were musically inclined and they taught me and my sisters a great deal about many genres of music and a lot about the history of music. In my home you would be as likely to hear Mozart as you would be to hear Marvin Gaye, Santana, or Trini Lopez…and of course Elvis. My father wanted to be sure that we knew all about great music. As a result, my taste in music is very broad and I am able to produce a lot of different sounds in my voice. I sang in choir for a long time and sang many solos. In my 20′s and 30′s I sang opera professionally, but I really enjoy singing jazz and blues more.

    Some years ago, I decided to put music on hold because I really wanted to have children. I have two beautiful girls now (ages 10 and 12) and I have taught them to sing and enjoy music as much as I do. I frequently used music to help my children and I get through the hard times when I was a single mom raising them on my own. Instead of focusing on negatives, I would teach them songs and we would sing them together for fun. At this time, I would like to inspire my children to pursue their gifts and would also love to be able to show them that music is something they can do throughout life. The artist in me is alive and well and I have had many thoughts over the past few years of performing again. I truly miss it. This time, I would like to identify what kind of music is best for me. I can sing many things, but I would like to know if there is one kind of music that is better than another in my voice. I may need some objective/subjective input on that.

    I look forward to hearing from you all. I truly admire both Queen Latifah and Gloria Estefan. I would like to say that I was thrilled when Queen Latifah sang the old Phoebe Snow songs…she did them so beautifully and effortlessly…it really took me back. Thank you for that.

    I am Natasha Brooks, singer/songwriter. I am 24yrs old. I live in a small town called Campbellsburg in southern Indiana. I pretty much live in the woods. We don’t have a Walmart or anything really besides gas stations, fast food, and little stores. My mother owns a hair saloon, that being said, my hair always looks pretty good haha. I play shows around my town, but living in a small town makes it hard to get my voice out there! I am confident to say and beleive that if I was heard I could go far. I’m tired of working fast food and being exhausted doing something I don’t like everday. My goal and wish is to be able to do what I love and make my money that way. I would be so happy if I could have the opportunity to show what I’ve got. My town is very supportive and most people have heard of me because I try to play at every chance I get. I would love the opportunity to be heard. I like Adele, Miranda Lambert, and Katy Perry. I can sing all types of music. I play country mostly on my guitar. I want to make a career of my talent. I won’t let you down. Promise. Please help me get out and be heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for taking time to read this.

  7. Lexi Russ

    Hello! My name is Alexis Russ, although I prefer to be called Lexi. I live in a small town in Michigan called Jenison. I am 16 years old and adore music. It is seriously my life! I have participated in choir since I was 10 but have been singing since I was little. I also love being part of the theatre productions at my school. We recently did Anything Goes and I was Evangeline Harcourt. I have so much fun on stage and I wish to further my career on stage. It’s quite difficult because I’m not the most beautiful girl in the world. But God gave me a talent I want to share with the world and make a difference. I would be honored if you came to my small town. We have so many young talented people here that not only have talent but great attitudes as well. Thanks so much for giving everyone this amazing opportunity!

Ive had a lot of practice in singing just nothing professional. i wanted to join a few singing groups in town but i was either not accepted or was kicked out all that was due to bullying. i was bullied which maks things a living hell. i was bullied for alot of things.

  11. Yahaira Rosado Torrellas

  13. Tracey Peterson

    Hi! This request for an audition is not for myself, but my daughter, Christina Peterson. Christina doesn’t know I am submitting this. The reason why I am replying to this instead of her is because she is very humble. She does not brag on herself or tell people how “great” she sings or plays. So I will.

    When you hear Christina sing, there is a beautiful and unique quality about her voice that you notice right away. It is powerful and soothing at the same time. She has perfect pitch and can jump in and sing harmony to any song she hears. She has a God-given musical talent.

    She has been singing since she could talk. At age 15 she asked for an acoustic guitar for Christmas. She practiced for hours a day and taught herself to play. She has also taught herself the piano and currently working on the violin. She has won talent contests. Christina has also written many original songs that are quite good.

    Christina has been the Worship Leader at our church for the last 2 1/2 years. She plays and sings in the local youth bands as well.

    So you see, not only does Christina have the natural ability, she also has experience on stage.

    I believe God put her on this earth with this musical talent to be heard and I’ll tell you why, Christina was born to my husband and I against all odds because the doctors said that Ron and I couldn’t have children. Without the aid of any medical intervention what-so-ever she was born.

    Christina was born with hearing problems that we weren’t aware of until her early teen years. She has been losing her hearing slowly since birth but can still hear perfectly now with the use of hearing aids. Surgery is not a good option for her right now but maybe someday.

    Please consider my daughter because it would be a shame to let this very gifted young women get away.

    Thank you for you time and consideration.

  14. Nicole McQueen

    Hi,

  15. Felix H. - "Feel"

    Hello,
    My name is Felix but, I go by my nickname “Feel”. I’m 42, raised and reared in the South Bronx, an only child of my parents, and a Veteran of two tours of Iraq. They way I acquired my name was based on how people would absorb my emotions through song. I truly feel that my best form of expression has been through my singing ability.

    As a child I was sickly and my Mom always had a deep rooted belief in healing through prayer and promise. I remember her always asking of God to heal me and that once I was healed, I would sing in his name and express myself through this gift. I’ve kept that promise till this very day. I won’t claim that I’m awesome or the greatest person to ever perform. However, I do wish to have the opportunity to share my talent and improve it with the proper coaching.

    Do I wish to make it big as a singer? I most certainly do but, I want it as the blessing that I deserve to give back to my Mom. She did it all to ensure my health and well being and I want to give her something back. I would just love the idea of developing songs that express my ideals, visions, and compassion. Through my music, I want to bridge gaps in society, love for the fellow neighbor, and the reminder of who’s most important in your daily routine of life.

    So, I hope that this message I’ve written is reviewed. I have never done anything like this before but, I do welcome the chance of a lifetime to come my way. Best wishes to all who apply and never forget who you are and what blessings may come your way.

    Thank you for your time…..

  22. Samera D

    Hi my name is Samera and I am just trying to persue my dreams in singing. I live in a small town which makes it really hard to do that. I guess this is kind of my only hope for achieving my dreams. I would bring so many qualities to the show my voice is amazing. I tried out for a singing group in town but they said I was to young. Sense when do people get to put an age limit on Dreams. My family is scattered all over the U.S so it makes it hard to do anything. once I seen this audition I new that this is my chance to do what really makes me happy. People have a lot of doubt on my dreams but its not going to stop me. I started to sing when I was 3 and I never stoped sense then, so I have a lot of practice I guess. My years sense Singing have been a living hell I was actually bullied out of school because I didn’t want to stop being me I guess it was because I never give up I am a fighter for my dreams. I hope I can get this audition I just want to prove to the people that doubted me that your dreams can be achieved. If I do get in I want to help people who are just like me people who want to be famous or to just be known. So please help me reach my goals. Thank you for your time.

  34. Maya Riddles

    October 22, 2011 I found out that I had a tumor growth next to my vocal chords. It was really scary and I thought my singing career in the future was over. I feared the worse being only 14 years old. Even while getting treated for the tumor growth I was still singing. I want to prove to America that I don’t let obstacles get in the way of me reaching my dreams no matter how old I am and they shouldn’t either. The tumor believe it or not is still there and when I sing I think if it being there and I sing even better. So please come and hear me sing. 14 year old from Atlanta,Georgia who wants her story to be heard.

My family has always had the musical genes and i’ve been blessed with the ability to sing. People always tell me how great i am and what a great talent i have but sometimes i find it hard to believe it. Im grateful for such a supporting community who backs me up and push me to not give up on my dreams. I don’t see myself doing anything else .I’ve always been very hesitant to audition or do reality TV because of the fear of failure, but I’m tired of just sitting on my talent and don’t want to live with regrets of what if. i don’t even know if anyone will actually read this and try to contact me but hopefully this will be THE opportunity that i’ve been waiting for.

    im 12 turning 13 in November. i am a young actress and singer that only wants a chance to become a star. music is a part of who i am, i have been singing for as long as i can remember, and it has always been my escape from the reality that my life isnt perfect. since my parents divorce, music is one of the few things my parents both support me doing, and its one of my favorite things to do. im always singing or acting or writing, wherever i am, because its really one of the few things i have left what my life was like before my parents divorce, and i really miss those days sometimes. enough about my personal life, im just here to ask for a chance to be heard, and to express myself and what i am thinking. thanks for your consideration :)

  47. Kadari Keller

    At age 60 I am singing better than I ever have, and I’ve been singing
    A long time. Started out in high school choir & have gone
    On to singing in a duet with my life partner, made 5 self
    Produced albums which did very well in their markets. Now I want
    A chance to sing with the big girls & boys, to let out this huge
    Voice I have like a tiger out of a cage, and let my music fly!

    Some people who hear me say they get blessed. Well, I want
    Them up out their seats feeling they too can fly.

    With personal coaching from Queen, & tThe fabulous Ms. Estefan, the resources this show
    Would bring, I know it will happen. Thanks.

  48. Coco

    Hello, my name is Coquetta, Coco for short, and I am 23 years young. Growing up i’ve always wanted to be a singer/actress, but because of the things that I have been throught and my lack of confidence I never gave it a shot. Now that I am older and have a child of my own I feel as if i should try and follow my dream if not for me, then for my child. She means the world to me, and me taking this chance will hopefully inspire her to follow her dreams when she gets older. With that being said I hope you will consider me as a participant in this show. Thank you for your time.

  49. Marcy Zwall

    What a great concept! I am a 41yr old mother of 2. I always dreamed of a singing career, but started my family too early in life to be able to “go for it”. All my life I have been singing for family, friends, community & my Lord. I continue to try to challenge myself & learn more to enhance my voice and my audience’s experience. I would love to learn from you! (not to mention record an album!). Thank you for your time & consideration.

  50. Johnny pinker

    With catchy pop rock music written by myself, produced by myself and my team I gained here, I am def worthy of being the next star. I had to teach myself everything like song writing and music production along with promoting my self in my home town. I have been on the local radio station 98.9 about 3 times and had my songs played along with an exclusive interview. I even coded my own website! You will not find another musician with my unique music style.
    Thank you

  53. Gina Walton

    My son, Derek Walton is a 16 year old vocal music major and dance minor at the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Perfomring Arts in Philadelphia. Derek has an amazing voice….he is compared to the likes of Otis Reading, John Legend and David Ruffin. He is a member of the All City Chior, Concert Choir, which travels for school and sings for dignitaries visiting Philadelphia. He has had lead roles in “13″ the musical and Les Miserable, both of which are broadway musicals performed at his school.

    I would love for you to come to the City of Brotherly Love…Philadelphia, to hear Derek sing! A star has truly been born!

    Hi,
    I am a singer. I was born to be a singer and it is what I wish for for my life. I am THE girl next door. I am a very hard worker and understand sacrifice. I would love the opportunity to audition for your show. Thank you for our consideration. Maria

  57. Victoria Blanford

    Hello there. My name is Victoria Blanford and I consider music to be my one passion. I often find myself wishing life was a musical… That being said, I’m 20 years old and currently living in Reno, NV. My parents met in choir class in high school and I think I was born with music in my blood. I’ve been singing since I was 2 and would love to sing somewhere other than my shower/car. Best of luck in your search and I hope to see you in Reno, NV! :]

  58. Dana Miller

    My name is Dana Miller, 19, from a small town called Fulton, IN. I have been singing all my life, have auditioned for many shows but never made it, and have made a cd in Nashvilee, TN. I would love to be apart of this show and audition!

    Much love,
    Dana

  59. Dani Atkinson

    Often described as the little girl with the big voice, 21 year old Dani Atkinson explains, “I wasn’t like most kids, I was more serious, old for my age. I was fair and protective. I listened, took everything in. Quiet, but not shy. I was lucky, didn’t have to find myself. I always knew who I was, I always knew what I wanted.” Growing up admiring the voices of Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and Heart, Dani was always waiting for it to be her turn. Realizing her talents at such a young age, her parents took her to perform at local fairs, festivals, community functions and contests, where she was frequently being approached with further opportunities. At 14, she began writing her first album, “Flying Far Away,” which sparked interest from major record labels. Looking for any opportunity to perform, Dani had also fallen in love with musical theater. She performed in A Chorus Line, Aida, Bye Bye Birdie (Kim McAfee), Peter Pan (Wendy), and Beauty and the Beast (Belle) for which she won the award Best Actress in Dutchess County. This led to her acceptance into her dream school, the prestigious NYU Tisch School of the Arts, where she is pursuing a BFA in Drama. Studying practical aesthetics in David Mamet’s, Atlantic Acting Program, she has trained with Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock from the Sun, The Exes) and vocal coach Wendy Parr. Recently, Dani was voted into America’s Got Talent’s Top 20 Youtube Contest, filmed aBlackberry Commercial, and was cast in a featured role alongside Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts in Elizabeth Bank’s & Steven Brill’s film Red Band, set to be released in January 2013. In November 2011, Dani entered Z100′s Hometown Hero Competition. Finishing in the Top 10, she was awarded an even bigger prize when she was contacted by EvoMusic’s David Andronico & Peter Macchia. The three met and with instant chemistry began writing her next album, “Just Me.” Describing her album as an “awakening,” Dani has written lyrics as a way of getting through times of heart break, reminding her that music is all she needs. Performing showcases around NYC at clubs such as The Iguana, Dani is more than ready to be heard. Currently living in Stormville, New York, Dani is the Star Next Door. As someone once said, “Dani has stardust on her shoulders.”

  60. Jacqueline Lawrence

    I have been singing all my life, but just have not gotten that big break. At fifty years of age, I believe NOW is my season for fame! I have been told that I look like Queen Latifah (but since I am the elder, I think she may resemble me). Simply put, I’m ready! I’m ready to spread my wings and take a chance at being all I was purposed to be. I love singing, and sing constantly- whether at work or at play. I feel that whether you are a good singer or not, life is too short not to sing. I have been on television several times in the past- primarily on talk shows- and absolutely adore the spotlight. I want to be transformed into a star. I love singing r&b, old school ballads and I dream of meeting Queen Latifah and being on this show. If selected, I guarantee, my segment would be very memorable and exciting. I would take your crew to my job, where America could see me singing to my staff and 17 residents who have developmental disabilities, at Praise and Worship at my church, hanging out with my crazy family, in my apartment, alone, and at a nearby karaoke bar. I would not want this opportunity to pass me by, so please select me. Thank you so much.

    I am a determined talented 17 year old girl with an extremely powerful & different voice. Music is my absolute passion. I sing all day every day. I’m from a small town, and am not given that many oppurtunties to showcase my talent. It would be my dream to make a career out of my favorite thing to do, and The Star Next Door is the perfect opportunity to prove myself to people. I would do everything it takes. For a preview of my voice go to YouTube.com/searcysmith. I’m different but I’m me. I would be a great selection for the The Star Next Door! :)

  62. Jervelle La Roche

    Hi! My name is Jervelle I’m 25 yrs old and a native of Trinidad and Tobago but currently lives in charlotte nc.I’ve been singing at the age of 6. I believe everybody was born to different things and I WAS BORN TO SING AND MAKE MUSIC.I believe when you know within your spirit what your destined to do nobody can take that from you and your dream never dies. After dropping out of college and moving to the states to pursue my dreams in becoming R&B/ pop singer, everybody called me crazy except my mother who is now deceased. She believed in me! But somehow life took it turns, after my mom passed I felt defeated, like there was no hope and ended up being in a physical abusive relationship for 5 yrs, my confidence, self esteem, free spirit……it was no longer there. Finally, with the power of prayer I said enough is enough and found the strength to get out of that unhealthy relationship. Yep I DID IT! I think this will be an amazing show and a great opportunity to prove that no matter what situations life brings it’s only you that have the power to change things.

  63. Ileena Irving

    Hey! My names is Ileena and I am 13 years old. I have to say that I love to act and sing. Mostly sing :) People have told me that i sing like Whitney Houston (r.i.p <3) but because i have low self esteem I really don't believe them. I just want someone to listen to me sing, because i don't talk much either. Singing is like my way of speaking, I would really appreciate if you came to Montgomery, New Jersey. You would make my one dream come true, when so many people (family included) doesn't believe in me. Thank You!

  69. Taylor

    Hi, I’m Taylor, 21. Learning what it really means to be an adult. I’m a singer. I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember. Looking back the thing that I remember most from my childhood was always putting on shows for my family. Getting up on that fireplace like it was my stage and singing my favorite songs for them. I was always told how beautiful of a voice I have. Not just from my family but from my teachers at school and by the time I was in high school most of the students in my choir class said so as well. In beauty school I was often asked to sing a song as the morning warm up for the school and people would actually cheer for me as if they were at a concert. It felt right. Like that’s where I belonged, up on a stage singing. It felt like home.
    It is my dream to sing as a career. I hope you choose to come to my home town of Reno and help make this dream come true. It would mean the world to me. Thank you. Taylor 

  70. Shardell Davis

  72. shakera charles

    Hello my name is shakera and I have always wanted to become a Singer ever since I was in diapers. Everyone has told me that I have a beautiful voice and that I should sing and act. My mother, little sister and I have been through so much basically losing everything. My mom have been on unemployment for 2years now. And with a voice I have I am willing to make not to only make a change fo me but also my family. God bless.

  73. Shameia Crawford

    Singing has been my life since I was a child. I grew up wanting to be on Star Search & Apollo.
    My ultimate goal was to sing & perform & make enough money to support my family. More than 11 years later, I’m still climbing the ladder to success. Ive been to almost every music reality show out there. I have made it to the top 50 & top 100 for 2 of them. But never chosen. I am quite the performer & singer. I just need a television platform to get me before the world, and gain the interest of a label that can help me spread my music around the world. I’m now 28, and starving to fulfill my goal. I’d love your help. THANKYOU for your consideration.

  75. zita dina

    My name is Zita Dina and i’m 20 years old. I think it is amazing that you guys are planning to kick off such promising singing show. It is true that some people think that there are already too many singing competitions on TV but i have to admit that there is nothing more hopeful for an undiscovered artist or a battled singer to know than knowing that there is still a chance for him or her to see his/her dream come true. I’ll be thrill to be part of this singing show and i only pray that this is the chance that i have been waiting on. Also i would love to know more about the show and when the auditions would become available….Thank you
