  4. Rubin shaw

    All my life I wanted to do music and sing.. I’ve always been so shy around people but when they heard me sing people showed me so much love .. I love my home town and all the inspiring musicians here … I just want to show people that I’m not afraid to get out there and will do what ever I need to…, my dreams will come true and my town will be proud of me and mother all I ever wanted to do was make her proud so I feel this is my chance it’s now or never let’s go Rubin shaw

  5. Cassie Waterman

    My entire life all I’ve wanted to do is sing, and inspire people with my story through music. I truly believe singing is what I’m meant to do with my life. I’ve been singin since i could talk lol I’ve never been afraid to go for what I want, it’s just the way I was raised. The only reason I haven’t been able to have a breakthrough with my music is because I’ve never been able to obtain the resources, but with a little help i could inspire, and reach my dreams. I’ve got a lot to give to the world and music is my nitch so to speak. I intend on bringing soul into the way I sing and passion most importantly. I promise you won’t meet a more determined, genuine got music deep down in her soul, outgoing, excited about life, kinda person 🙂 I can’t wait to show you what I can bring to the table, and possibly go from there so if you really could be the show to make this girl’s dreams come true, i promise you won’t be disapointed

    Here’s a link you can listen to its a recording i did on my computer so its not great quality, and its from about a year ago but its something to go off of 🙂 hope ya like it

  6. Lexi Parr aka Rubyblonde

    I live in a small town of around 3200 people in one of the most historic places in the country. Galena Illinois…I am proud of my community and the musicians that live here who inspired me to be a singer. I have played with 16 year olds to 70 years olds with hearts of gold. They have inspired me to be who I am today. I would love to make them proud and make our town proud. I would like to represent the musical talent that lives and breathes here 365 days a year. We are a strong group that fights for the right to sing on street corners and hold music festivals. Please let our story be told. I know you wont regret it.
    All my love,

  11. Rebecca Azor

    I just want to sing! God has blessed me with a gift and I want to be able to bless others with it. Im a recent college graduate who gave up literally EVERYTHING to try and make it in NY. Cliche’ story, but it’s my story. It sure isn’t easy when you have your family counting on you to be better. Being a first generation college graduate and American, my parents want me to succeed because of the sacrifices they made for me when they moved from Haiti. Right now im living in one of the what they call the most dangerous parts of Brooklyn, and since Ive been here I have worked at a factory with inmates, been a maid, an assistant, and jobless. It gets very cold, lonely and depressing at times when you’re fighting for your dreams but also fighting to survive. But I encourage myself and I motivate myself to keep fighting, my voice is what brings me peace and when people tell me how my voice has affected them I know my fight is NOT in vain! Give me this chance to share my love to the world and change the minds of my nay sayers. Give me a chance to live out my destiny! Thank you in advance.

    Rebecca Azor, 23, NYC

  12. Lauren Mueller

    Hey! My name is Lauren, I’m 17 years old and I AM “The star next door”. I’m originally from Huntzville, AL but I currently live in Orlando, FL. I think it would be absolutely amazing if you guys were to come to the sunshine state. Being a part of this would be a great opportunity for me to show off the voice i’ve been blessed to have. My mother was the one who taught me to sing, she was in “Fame” the play from Music&Arts in NY. Growing up and still to this day, I’ve always had a passion for singing and acting. I’d sing all the time in church and do talent shows. All I need is for someone to just give me a chance and help me to reach my fullest potential, I may not be the oldest or have the most experience but I have determination, passion and patience so please give me a chance, I promise your time will not be wasted and you will not regret it. Thank your for your consideration. Please E-mail me.

  13. Demitri A.

    I am a college student who is trying to make a come up with a dollar and a dream residing in Greensboro,North Carolina.

I have been in my college choir for 3 years and gospel choir since the age of 8. also have led since i was first given a mic . Been in multiple talent shows/ showcases,the lowest i have ever placed was 2nd but it would be pretty cool to represent North Carolina along with the couple greats we do have.

  14. William Smith

    Hi Queen Latifa my name is William Smith I go by the name of Illiam Child. I am from Rahway NJ, and ever since the age of 15, I had a dream to become one of the hottest hip hop artist to ever come out of NJ. I can honestly say I love Hip Hop, I have a passion for it, but most importantly it’s the respect I have for it. I lost both my parents, my dad first and then my mom. I always told my mother one day I was going to make it big and get that big break. She was going to have that house and car she always dreamed of, but most importantly I wanted to make her proud. Unfortunately that never happened for me, and it’s something that has haunted me ever since. I have albums I recently released on my FB page IlliamChild, I have videos on YouTube, music on Soundcloud, I have loyal fans, but I just need that 1 person that is willing to give me 5 minutes of their time to prove to them I have what it takes. I know I can write a song with a catchy hook about money, cars, girls ect and have everybody go wild, but to me that’s not what Hip Hop is about, I never sold myself into that, because that went against everything I stood for when it comes to my music! If you would be willing to give me this once in a lifetime oppurtunity to listen to my music, meet with me, just give me that chance, you will not be disappointed. Think back to when you knew being an entertainer was your dream, it was exactly what you wanted to be, you knew you had the talent, the drive, the determination, and the only thing stopping you from living your dream, and sharing your talent with the world was that one person in the industry, to take a few minutes of their time, just to listen. I’m asking you from one Hip Hop artist to another, reppin NJ, Please give me that chance. If you want to listen to some of my music, I am on Soundcloud, and YouTube.
    Just 5 minutes that’s all I need!

    Thank you,
    William Smith
    IlliamChild

  15. Allayna

    Anyone can say that they have the talent for something beautiful, creative, amazing. Anyone can claim to have that dream that seems impossible. Anyone can make themselves to be something special to believe in whole-heartedly. Anyone can say these aspects to be true, but fail to rise up to the challenge once the gauntlet is thrown. I want to be one of those individuals.
    I’ve been constantly told that my voice is beautiful, yet I’m humble enough to see the many people out there that have SO much amazement with their talents far better than me.
    I’ve wanted to be a singer since I started sharing my skill at a young age, but have been told that it would be the longest struggle to be on top of the world. I don’t want to be at the top of the charts, but to show it that I did it, to have my life-long dream fulfilled.
    I have performed both on and off stage for karaoke, talent shows, concerts, and church worship and events, and long to get that rush of anxiety-excitement to show the world what God has immensely blessed me with.
    I’m willing to free myself into what I WANT to be, instead of everyone telling me what I’m supposed to be. I don’t know where to start, how to do it, or where to go to obtain this desire. I pray that someone out there is willing to give me that chance, before I regret never having the effort to do it. Thank you for your time, happy holidays and God bless!!

Were i live, once you come in you cant come out everyone stays in everett. But i dont want to be like them i want my dreams to come true. I dont want to just sit here and day dream about it i want it REALLY bad and i wont stop till my dream will come true.

    Hi, my name is Meredith Fox, and I’m 29 years old. This would be a dream come true for me. I am currently in school full time, work full time in special education, and a wife and mom to two beautiful children. Time and life has gotten away from me, and I’m now fervently trying to pursue a career in music. All I need now is the right opportunity to take me to the right places and right people to get my foot in the door to work my butt off to get somewhere in the industry. Next to my family, music is my life. I don’t think I need an opportunity to tell you why I should be chosen, but what I need is the opportunity to SHOW you why I should be chosen. Give me that chance! Thanks!

    Antonio
    “tonitobias A.k.a boss greedy”
    james

    My name is Antonio “ToniTobias a.k.a Boss Greedy” James, “ToniTobias” being my R&B side and “Boss Greedy” my get crunk side. Representing Fayetteville, NC but born in Florence, SC. I am 34 years old, height: 5’11.5”, weight: 178 lbs and a proud father of two. As a singer, rapper, songwriter, dj and producer of my own music in my bedroom studio; my mission is to produce a thug passion, down south vibe. To become an entertainer has always been my life’s goal but mostly to share my story.
    Music was presented to me from the time I was in the womb and now lives with me. Since the days I began to walk and talk I have been singing, dancing and being the clown of the party. I started out performing, with my brother, at my parent’s parties, school talent shows, events, clubs, etc. I haven’t shined in every aspect of my life, but it’s those things that give me the desire to shine through my music. Music is my way to express that which I cannot speak.
    Greedy Boys Records is a music company I started with a group of talented friends. With whom I have collaborated various tracks with but the struggle began to weigh too much. So now I venture on this journey alone taking advantage of any open opportunities. My recent being the “My Time To Shine” audition in which I was chosen to perform in the show to compete to win my time to shine. The sky knows no limits and that’s why I am trying to shine within the universe.

  24. Troy F.

    Each of us has been given a gift or talent by God which we must use to truly fulfill our purpose and reach our destiny. However, not all of us use them or take advantage of the opportunity when it comes our way. This would be a God-send for me and would allow the world to experience something fresh, something different. I have been blessed with the gift to sing and would be very grateful if you gave me the opportunity to share my gift of song with you. Thank you for starting this new venture. I look forward to hearing from you. Until then–happy searching!!!

  26. Kyra Warren

    This seems like the opportunity of a life time…I feel like I should be considered because singing, dancing, playing my flute are my greatest joys in life. Unlike a lot of other individuals I didn’t grow up singing nor dancing and I didn’t start when I was 2 years. My inspiration was and still is Aaliyah (Rest in peace) when I was 12 years old, I am now 22. she brought out the music in me, the passion. I am new to this, but if I can be given a chance you all will not be disappointed. My name is Kyra Warren, I’m from Jackson, Michigan, I am 22 years old…If you guys think I could be an option please send me am email…you all have a great one!!!

  33. Ditez Windrow

    My name is Ditez Windrow and I read this thinking about how perfect this would be for me. I’m 20 years old and I live in a small place in Tennessee called Murfreesboro (its about 30 minutes away from Nashville.) I have been singing since I was a little kid. Most of my family is musical. My mother sings, my brother, and also 3 of my uncles. I come from a very musical family. Being from such a small place and not really having the money to travel to all these different places to pursue my music is what’s stopping me from doing what I love. I know this is what I am suppose to do. The type of music that i sing is R&B but sometimes I write songs with a little bit of a pop sound to it as well. Growing up I listened to a lot of Lauryn Hill, Tank, Usher, Marian Carey. Those are the people who influence my music the most. I’d love to be apart of this show and show people other people that are also from small towns that they can do it!

  34. Daya Kendrick

    AHHHHHHHHH… That’s all I can say representing Romulus with my voice that is a dream come true, and being a superstar will be like sitting on a cloud, will most of the time. I want this to be a birthday wish that comes true.

  35. Alicia Hathaway

    I am 20 years old. From orlando fl but living in fayetteville nc because my husband is in the military. I love the stage. I love to sing. Musicals country rap hip hop rock all generes speak to me. I have even written my own songs. I know I have what it takes!

  36. Amanda

    Hey there! My name is Amanda Shuler. I am a 32 year old singer/songwriter from Durham,
    NC. I have always had a love for music. People come and go, and everything is constantly
    changing in this life, but a good song will never leave you! I strive to write, and sing songs that mean something, other than let’s sit on the tail gate of my truck and drink beer, and flirt! Lol. There’s a lot of that I am hearing on the radio these days. My influences are: Patty Loveless,
    Waylon Jennings, and Martina McBride. My style? Country gospel/ inspirational. I just want to make a difference, and use the gift that God so graciously bestowed upon me. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

  37. ACJ

    I am a twelve year old girl from Birmingham, Alabama. I enjoy singing country and contemporary Christian music the most, but also enjoy some pop music as well. I have been taking some voice lessons and have just begun performing. I have been told that I have a good, strong voice and that it would be a good voice for recording. Many people have commented on my voice and tell me that I should find a contest as soon as I am old enough. (Not sure what the age requirement is for this show.) I won 1st place at a singing competition here in my hometown last summer and have been performing in other events I can find for my age group. The more I perform, the more I learn, and I would love the opportunity for someone as talented as the ones on this show to come out and help mold me into an even better singer and performer. I have just started guitar lessons so I’m looking forward to playing my own music one day as well. I would be so blessed by the opportunity to be on this show and would be honored to represent my hometown.

  38. Angelina Dill

    My boyfriend is an amazing singer, but he doesn’t think he’s nearly as good as he really is. I’d love for him to audition for the show, so the world can see how amazing he is. He is truly passionate about singing and making people smile in the process (he always makes me smile !). He takes voice lessons to keep getting better at what he loves doing; all he needs is that one chance.

  39. Chris Masters

    My name is Chris and I’m 26 from Long Island, NY. I love music and have been singing since a young age. I can relate to the judges in many ways. I’ve been saving horses (not riding cowboys) since 1987. I use a lot of Hairspray, love to play cards, and I am a King (of some sordts) and Queen Latifa has ties to all aspects. Lastly, I have the music in my heart and love Spanish women which is my tie to Gloria Estefan.

    I am a perfect choice for this show and would love the opportunity to show off my talents. Please consider – I’m also very handsome, if you were wondering…

    -Chris

  40. Alex Flores

    Well here I go,
    I’m a twenty year old female that lives in Boring, OR. I have always been within the musical area, my father always tried to make sure I was at the top of my game. Yet I had given up the idea of getting somewhere with my voice, but my passion has come back. I want to show what amazing abilities I have, I have had some training, my range is alright in both high and low. I use to sing for my church, lead singer for youth group as well as church choir. I have never won a talent show because I would always get to scared, thinking someone was always better. I am more confident now, I have overcome that fear yet I still need help. My voice still needs to be molded to preform correct techniques, but I have always dreamed of trying to reach that goal of giving people chills from hearing such passion in my music. I don’t want to only sing, I want to share my soul, my passion, as well as my voice.
    Please consider coming here, I would be so grateful.
    Thank you.

  42. Karina Moran

    My name is Karina. I am 23 years old from Concord, NC near Charlotte and I love singing more than anything else in my life. I sing when I’m happy, I sing to get through, I sing to bring others up, and the list goes on and on. I don’t necessarily even need a reason to be singing. It’s a part of who I am and it is what I want to do. Feeling the rush of being onstage, entertaining one person or a million people is what I need to be doing with my life. It won’t be right until I am doing what I love most. Please pick me.

After being loyal to my family, my job and my community, l am now ready to break out and share my most humble gift with the world! I waited to balance my time and energy to the important things in life, my children. They are now of age to let me go forward and give myself to fulfill my my dream.l love singing and as a career nurse,l have given and shared thus gift to the hopeless, helpless and disparate, which l love doing. I’ve been close to launching out, but l humbly chose to care for my precious mother until her demise. I was given an opportunity to compete at The Apollo in 2007, but indiscriminately, my mother died the day before. I have won local talent shows here in Florida. Just recently, l launched out and auditioned for the next season of”America `s Got Talent `and awaiting their decision in January 2014. I have a unique voice of spontaneous quality, I’ve been told. I don’t pride myself in hoarding for and being the best, because l believe that God graces each one to reach one by the humility of loving mankind. I don’t aspire to try to please all, but l am humbly joyful when my singing will change or touch a life for the better.

    Great singing voice … with spectacular range for my age. Pretty face, great smile, beautiful dimples, long eye lashes and eyes that twinkle when I smile. My first audition EVER, in my school play this year and I got the lead. I would LOVE to be considered for this. I am in all PreAp classes and don’t have a grade lower than an 88. I am well mannered and behaved and would love a chance to show my talents. Last year, I was selected to be in the 5th grade All District Honor Choir and performed before the Texas Music Educators Association. And yes, my parents approve.

  52. Christina Kennedy

    Hi there!

    I’m Christina. Buckeye born and raised. I’m a country girl at heart that loves to sing and play music. I am 26 yrs old, married, and have a three year old son. My family and music are my world. I play rhythm guitar and drums….YES DRUMS!! LOL. Ive been a church girl all my life, a preachers daughter, and I love the Lord! I believe that God gave me talents for a reason..and I haven’t quite figured out how to get them out there. I’ve written several songs and I sing all the time at church and for small christian events…but I feel like I’m meant to do more with my talents than what I’m doing. If I could just touch someone’s life and inspire people through my music then I would be living my ultimate dream! 🙂

  55. Jennifer

    Hi,

    I’m 23 and have always wanted to be a singer since I was young but being introverted and a second generation immigrant, I have always put it on the back burner and tried to pursue more “prestigious” jobs in vain. To make it short, I would really appreciate this opportunity.

  56. Trebrehis

    Hey, my name is Trebrehis Ezell. I am an 18 yrs. old Singer/Pianist from Solon, Ohio who plans on doing great things one day. I have been singing and performing since the age of 8, honing my abilities in the church choir, show choir and school musicals. If I was chosen to be on the show it would be a dream come true. I have been trying to get discovered since I was a child constantly auditioning for shows and performing at any and every venue that I can. I know that I have what it takes to make it big and all I need is opportunity, so please consider me 🙂

  58. Faith Anderson

    Hello, my name is Faith Anderson… I’ve spent most of my time singing background vocals for local celebrities living my own 20 ft from Stardom.. I’d love the opportunity to be developed and taken to the next level here in Dallas, Tx.. I’ve never really pressed toward the forefront because I know there are better singers out there… However, I also know that my gift is from God and special. I will need to develop a confidence for myself and go for my own dreams… I’d love to be apart of this process…

  59. Becky

    My name is Becky Watts. I’m 24 years old and my passion is music. My dream has always been to sing, but I never have the right doors opened up. I’ve been in a couple of local contests, not too many things. While I love to sing and know that I have talent, I have to admit, I have some stage fright. I have 4 year old, beautiful daughter, she’s my world. I raise her by myself, so having to support her makes it hard. I go to school and work full time but it is all for her. Singing is my dream but sometimes you have to be your dreams on the back burner so you can make your children’s dreams come true. It would be a dream come true If you came to my town for me!

  67. Ty Mathis

    Name’s Ty Mathis. I’ve been singing since I was about 5, playing guitar since about 11, picked up a little piano, bass, drums around 13. I’ve written a couple songs and just love to sing in general. I do a pretty good version of 3 Doors Down “Landing in London”, and a unique “House of the Rising Sun”, and just about anything you give me I will learn to play and sing within hours. I started on gospel and country, and now I enjoy singing most any style. I’m the only boy out of 7 kids (and even with that I was born with a girl, I have a twin sister), and my grandmother brought music to me as a child. She was in a bluegrass group around Brunswick, Georgia, called the East Bound Express back in the 70’s. I have a great uncle who was a Master Sergeant in the Army who also wrote songs and played in a band. I’ve been told we are distant relatives of Earl Scruggs (my grandmother is a Scruggs), and also Ronnie Milsap (don’t know if it is true or not, but I’ll take it!) I just plain grew up with music in my blood. I’ve taken a few leaps of faith, tried out for American Idol, the X Factor, the Texaco Country Showdown and various other competitions, sadly to no avail. It’s tough out there, but who knows, maybe one day it will be my turn. Check me out https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201885670610735&set=vb.1452666453&type=2&theater

  68. Giuseppe

    Hello, my name is Giuseppe (Westfield, NJ), I am 32 and love to sing in Italian, often to the music of Josh Groban or Andrea Bocelli. I try to emulate not so much the voice but the emotion, I believe everyone’s voice is unique but emotion complements any musical story. I love the song Sogno, Caruso, The Prayer… I guess I’m a sucker for melodramatic powerful pieces… But hey, who isn’t? I’ve probably spent several thousand hours singing over the last 10 years, only in the car and shower, hehe, because I was naturally and still am slightly timid. That’s the only reason I have not tried to be a singer, for my fear of being judged. But that hasn’t stopped me from extensively practicing on my own and filling up with happiness and overwhelming joy when I sing a piece and feel that I have done it somewhat correctly. I guess I become the listener not just the performer…

  72. Christy Devine Cannon

    Hello,
    My name is Christy Devine Cannon. I am a 37 year old singer/songwriter. I have been singing since the age of 2 with my twin sister Brandy. I grew up singing in church, school choirs, local talent shows, and family events. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Music Business in 2005. My passion is music and singing. I couldn’t imagine my life without it. I currently work with special needs children and sing to them daily. I know that if given this opportunity doors would open that could help my music career sky rocket. I grew up watching and listening to my mother sing and consider her a Diva. Queen Latifah and Gloria Estefan are both beautiful divas and role models. Working under their guidance and experience, I would be so gracious and sure to go far in the industry. Thank you for any attention given to my submission.
