  3. Logan Collins

    I’m an eighteen year old girl from Norman, Oklahoma. I’m a senior in high school. Nothing makes me happier than when I’m singing. I’ve done a few talent shows and sang back up for local band. It’s time for me to start making some decisions about my career and I can’t see myself doing anything else than music. I’d really love the opportunity to work with such great artists and if I’m chosen I promise you won’t be disappointed!

  4. Angela

    Hi my name is Angela, and lately I have been songwriting, at first it was trying to get away from depression, but its also to find me. I use to never be shy but when I was abused all of my confidence in everything just literally dropped. My teachers really don’t know why I don’t raise my hand in class to read a freakin page of history, they think I hate volunteering. I do its just i’m so shy to do everything. I hate being quiet, but i feel there’s no way out of it. The reason why i am doing this is because my mom intend to support me on this but I just really want to know if i’m good at singing. By the way I have never taken a choir class before so….. hmmm…..I don’t know Its just an idea my mom had in mind, and my feelings won’t be hurt if i’m not chosen to sing. Thank you for your time:)

  5. Chandraprakash labana

    My name is chandra prakash..and i make my career become a singer.. So plz. Informe me when show is….

  6. Courtney Cole

    Hi, my name is Courtney and I’m 17. I’m from a small town in Florida known as Niceville. I’ve been singing since I was born I guess you could say. Its in my blood. My parents had always tried to get me up on stage as a child but I always had the worst stage fright. I began singing in my schools chorus in kindergarden and have remained there to this day. I began getting solos and loved the attention I got. That’s when I began singing in sports bars doing Karaoke. I remember the first time I ever did. The adrenaline rush was so crazy. The audiences reaction however felt great. They all went crazy saying I was the next American Idol. They even went to congratulate my parents on my voice. I’ve dreamt of being that teen idol that little kids could lok up to. Not only do I sing for myself, I’m trying to be discovered for my family. We’ve recently run into some financial issues and I may not show it, but my family means the world to me and I would love to help out to the best of my abilities. Not only do I sing for them but I sing for myself and for my brother who got the chance but was unable to continue. He was killed and even he knew I would go far in life with my voice. So I’ll do anything it takes to make him proud.

  7. Ayesha Michelle

    ”Imagine that”.. are lyrics to song I wrote. I’m originally from Miami, but I live in Tampa, Florida I’m a firm believer that dreams come true, but between singing at church, & working 8-5pm everyday & writing hopeful grammy winning songs , & having only bills to show for it leaves me kinda weary. Im 24 years young, and the only thing I want to do is show my little cousins that they can make their dreams come true, if they look past failures. Im a beautiful, plus-size, awesome singer-songwriter & most days I believe it, just looking to kick down the door of opportunity.
    Thanks In Advance,
    AyeshaMichelle

  8. Rais

    Hi my name is Rais and I am 18 years old I just recently found my passion
    For singing again. I sung all the way up until I was 12. I stopped singing because of medical issues and personal loss of family members that inspired me. I know know this is what I’m supposed to be doing and I’m not stopping again. I believe that being an artist changes people’s lives and helps uplift them. I would love to be considered for the show to help reach out to someone as well as gain experience and knowledge from working with this show.

  12. Morgan Lewis

    Hello! I am a 22-year-old African American woman currently living in Bethesda, MD. I have been singing as a hobby since middle school and would love to be considered for this show. Although I have always wanted to sing professionally, my parents have encouraged me to get involved in the sciences. I am working on finishing my undergraduate degree in Animal Sciences, and while it is certainly one of my passions I can’t stop thinking about singing. In fact, it’s all I ever do! I don’t want an opportunity like this to pass me by. If you pick me, I guarantee I will give you my all and more! Thank you for your consideration.

  13. Jazmine Sanchez

    Hello my name is Jazmine Sanchez. Portland Oregon should be
    one of the many great cities you visit this summer! We are, to be very simplistic, a weird city, but attain some of the most raw and talented people in the world. If you’d like many interesting but fulfilling auditions, please come visit us in Portland Oregon.
    Thank you(:

  14. Alexis Brianni Lineberger

    Hello people that came up with this brillant idea!!
    My name is alexis lineberger…go head laugh at my last name, im used to it. hahaha Im 17 years old and i live in Orlando Fl. Singing isnt just what i want to do. Singing is what im going to do, all my 16 years i’ve always said i wanna be a famous singing, but now a days getting in the industry is a lot harder then it used to be. This one year i told my self i will be in the spotlight and i will do whatever it takes to do what i love to do. If this is my chance, and i really hope it will be!(: ,then im gonna make it my everything to achieve this dream of mine. most peole…well 99.99999% of the people want to do it for the fame and $$$ but i want to do it because i know i will have an impact on the people that went through the hard times like myself and people who have big dreams like mine.
    Thank you Ms. Queen Latifah for the wonderful opportunity and if you dont come to my hometown. then im jealous of whose ever hometown you do go to!

  15. Alexandria-Alexis

    I’m not sure if this is too late, but I’ll submit this anyways. I’m Alexandria-Alexis, but you can call me Alex. I’m Fourteen, but let me assure you, that I’m completely serious about this. I believe a person’s voice is one of their most powerful aspects. It’s not just the music that makes the song live and breathe, it’s the voice. I remember the first time I heard a great singer, not okay or good, but GREAT. The way the voice wrapped around me in an almost welcoming embrace. Chilling me with its power, warming me with the whole-ness it possessed. And when it silenced, it lingered within me in a way that could only be considered magical. And I thought, “I wanna be that voice. I want to be able to show the emotion, not just say it.” I remember how I would describe my dreams to my peers. How they’d laugh at me when I told them that I wanted to be famous. To sing songs with meaning. “You have a beautiful voice-yeah. But SERIOUSLY, you aren’t skinny. And to be famous, you gotta be skinny.” Those are the words that stuck with me longest. So what? I’m curvy. I’m not a stick. I’m REAL. I want to show people that a big girl CAN make it, and that she DOES have what it takes to be famous. I’m not asking for a miracle-I’m asking for a chance. I want to make a difference. I want people to see my VOICE, not just me.

  16. Patty Romano

    My name is Patty and i have been singing since i was a young girl at the age of 9. I spent a lot of my time in choirs growing up and i feel like it has taught me so much. I was in Middle school and Hight school Choirs and i also did All state and Regions! The last choir i was in was The RocknRoll Chorus which is a traveling acapella group. I feel that i am very motivated and hard working and to have the chance to share my talent with the world would be increadible. I enjot inspiring others and i think that’s the main reason i started singing. My family has always inspired me with music and i want to inspire others. I feel like music is a therapy. It can sometimes get us through the hardest times and i would love to help people in that way. Other accomplishments of mine was being a part of broadwayspace.com’s 15 finalists for broadways next big star, I won singing idol in my town and got to perform at different events (it gave me a lot of experience over the years) and being a part of different plays and shows at college and in the community. I was just in Footloose at George street Playhouse in New Brunswick NJ and now I’m playing Janet in Rocky Horror in Bound Brook NJ.I love to be invovled in the arts as much as i can and getting to be a part of the show would be another wonderful experience for me:) Thank you -Patty

  17. Kristal Annette Joiner

    Why would I be a good choice? All I can say is when there’s something that you Love doing so much and it not only brings you Joy but it brings Joy to others, I’d say that’s your calling. I’ve had times that I wanted to give up and times that I did give up. Singing is in me and I always find my way back to it. In my life I’ve been surrounded by people who were gifted with music. It definitely runs in my family. Now that I’m older and now that I myself have kids I want to be an example to.them. I want them to see first hand that anything you set your mind too is possible regardless of obstacles. I keep.myself surrounded by musicians and network with ppl and there’s pressure with that. Daily its a struggle I have with myself to not give up because the artists closest to me are doing shows, putting out albums and even touring with Big Name Artist.Even after competionaer competition and audition after auditon I know this is what I’m supposed to be doing. I’m always doing Karaoke in my hometown and I love that people enjoy me anytime I perform and they all are behind me and push me to continue and do even bigger things and that’s a wonderful feeling. So even if this is a no go, I’ll still keep singing and doing what I have to do to achieve my dreams! I maybe be from a very small town but I have Big Dreams!

  18. Lena Byrd

    My name is Lena and I’m 15years old and I love to sing I discovered I had a voice when I was only 6years old so. I would be perfect because I have been on so many auditions but they wanted me to pay them to audition ,I just want that one audition that I can show what I can do with my voice I just need that one audition to get me to the top something I have been waiting for my entire life please just give a chance to show you what I got I think you would be surprised. You won’t forget me.

  19. Kynsi

    Hi, my name is Makenzie Weber, but I go by Kynsi. I’m 13, but music is my life.
    I’ve been singing ever since I could talk, and now my friends are saying that I should try to get on The Voice and The X-Factor. I think this is more interesting though.
    I am very passionate about singing. I tend to like country more than hip-hop, pop more than heavy metal (which I do not like at all.) I write my own songs and when I sing them, people ask if I’m playing a song off of iTunes. Well, some of the time.
    I’m a very down to earth girl, who has been through hell and back. Music saved me then, and I hope that I can share my music with my country.
    I’m 5 ft. 5 1/2 inches tall. I have a mix between hazel and chocolate eyes, with naturally long curled eyelashes. I’m tan, between olive and gold toned. My hair is reddish brown, the roots a deep chocolate brown. I’m slender, with a half hourglass figure. Half because I’m not fully matured yet, if you get what I mean.
    I’m not the most popular girl in school. I could really care less about One Direction (no offence meant!) I don’t know the people, and the music is what I care about, not the person. Sorry, a little off track here. I’m not the best looking, nor the smartest, nor do I think I have the best voice. I just want to see if I can make it, and if I can, then I want to see what I can do to inspire people to chase their dreams, like I am.
    I have a loyal support group behind me, my friends and family. I’ll need help now and then (Probually a lot more than that!) but I’m probully one of the most determined girls you’ll meet.
    If you pick me, I’ll do everything I can to be a positive aspect to the show, to the competition, and to whoever mentors me. If you don’t, I won’t hold anything against you. I’m by far not the best, but I will try as hard as I can.

    thanks for your time!

Singing is one of my passions. Without singing I would honestly well i have no idea what i would do. Singing foes not even come close to being a hobby or a way of life for me. Singing is part of who I am. and i promise if you come to my town and here me sing you will not be disappointed. When you here me sing whether its one of my own songs or a cover of a song i promise you that you will hear my passion for singing in my voice. When i sing people can hear the emotion in my voice and it hits close to the heart. Please give me a chance. I have been dreaming about having my singing become a career. I have always wanted my songs to be heard by the world and to have them reach the hearts of everyone who hears my songs who hears me sing. I don’t want you to choose me so that i can become famous or rich, i want you to choose me because i want the people of this world to see that if a young hopeful girl like me can have her dreams come true then their dreams can come true too. I know in my heart that someday i will be singing on stage in front of millions. I know that i will bring hope into billions of peoples hearts someday when they hear me sing. I know i am the right choice for you to make. i know in my heart that when you choose to come see me and hear me sing you will not regret it. I know deep down that i am one of the most passionate singers you could ever come across. so please Miss Latifah, Miss Estefan and Mr. Rich please come to River Falls Wisconsin and listen to me sing i know in my heart that i will not let you down if you come here to listen and hear my passion come to life.
    Thank you so very much for this oppurtunity

  23. May

    Hi, so uhm, Im 14 years old, I live in Seattle Washington and I sing, play guitar, and write songs. All my friends constantly make me go sing at teen club open mics, and this competition sounds really cool! Im a very talkitive person, very loud, and i LOVE to meet new friends. Im constantly sing at the top of my lungs, whereever I am. I had a few random stangers compliment my voice while I was at the mall and movie theater, it was reall awesome. anyway, i think this could be my big break, to following my dreams! (:

My height is 5’0,and I have beautiful brown eyes and soft to the touch brown hair.I hope you choose me and thanks for reading this.oh I almost forgot I am 11 years old.

  25. Elizabeth

    Is it too late!? I would be a great choice because I’ve over come so much in the past year. After being told I have no future and that my dreams are pointless and pathetic by my ex husband, the fire in my heart to succeed is hotter and brighter than ever. I’ve been singing my whole life but wasn’t always brave enough to shoot for the starts. I’m now ready to not only fight for my dreams, but to set an example for my little girl that dreams arent just for fun, that they can come true with hard work.

  27. Eric

    It has always been my dream to sing professionaly! Ever since I was a kid I have been singing! And now that I am a single father of two girls its been hard to focus on music! If I could provide for my children by doing something that I know I was born to do , my words could not express the joy that would bring to my life! Please give me a shot! Thank you

  28. Amy Cisneros

    When I was 5 years old, I was told that singing was just a hobby. That I needed to find something more stable to provide for my family. That I needed to enjoy my childhood. In certain ways they were right, yet I am 23 years old, I’m happily married the man of my dreams, I’ve moved to a brand new state, and I’m a licensed cosmetologist. Many might believe that I have everything anyone could ask for. But there is still that 5 year old girl inside of me that wants to sing music to relate to people, to ease their pain, to let out their frustrations, to dedicate to someone. I want to sing. Hopefully I will be able to sing to you, even if its just for an audition. Please. This is my dream…the only thing that s left.
    Thank you.

    Amy Cisneros- Stuart, Fl

  29. Andrea

    Hi my name is Andrea, I am from Tampa, Florida, I’m 15 years young. My passion is to sing, to me singing is the only way i can express myself. My parents have been through a variety of things, my mom has been through the most. I’ve always wanted to help them out, in someway. Singing is my passion I’ve always dreamt of showing the world what i can do, and if i’m in this show, not will i just become something greater than what i am right now, but in someway i know this will help my family too.

    Thank you

  30. Jessie

    Hey yall…man what to say. Singing has always done something to my heart. Its a huge part of who i am. With 2 little ones ive been tempted to give up on my dream… But im not ready to let it go yet!! Im 26 years old and been singing in choirs since i was 8. Ive been working towards a solo career but as a single mom, if its not paying the bills i gotta put it on the back burner. I know i can do this, my time isnt over yet. I want my babies to see me succeed in my goal not just beacuse it will make my dreams come true but because it will let them know theirs can too.

  31. Jerri Kurtz

    I live in a small town way up in Northern Canada. Dawson Creek, BC, Canada
    would be honoured to have a show like this come our way. Especially since we have a new concert hall built…. We’ve had the best of the best up here. The icing on the cake would be a singing competition like this!

  32. Donna

    I’m gonna continue to comment every week to let you know how important this singing thing is to me. Please pick me the girl from Baltimore AKA Donna B-MoreMusic. It would be such a huge honor and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

  33. Lauren

    Hi, my name is Lauren Taylor. I just turned 14 and would love to be a part of your show. love singing more than anything. I am a huge fan of jazz greats like Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, as well as Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey. I pull my style from all of them when I cover more modern music. I believe in bringing back real music with a band and not so much autotuned computer-generated music. I am committed to workin my hardest to represent your show like a true professional. I am being raised by a single mom. We had to escape an abusive situation so mom could protect us. Music is what healed me and keeps me going. I want to be able to write and sing songs to inspire others to greater things. We just lost our house because my mom is unemployed. I wrote a song about it to insipre all of us that are facing tough times can stay strong and remember what matters most. I would like to share it with all of you. My momhas worked really hard to help me, but now she can’t help me anymore. I want to be able to pursue my dreams as an artist. so I can make a difference in the world. I believe I deserve that chance because I give my time to the homeless, Children’s Hospital, and to the San Diego Rescue Mission to help others. I would like the chance to become an artist so I can do so much more for everyone and be an inspiration to kids who have been abused, neglected or feel lost in the world. I know that is what my purpose in life is. Please consider me for this wonderful opportunity.

  34. Christopher Rocha

  35. Laura Harris

    I’m Laura but I go by the name Prissy, I’m a 19 year old high school graduate. I have put everything around me on pause because I can’t seen to find anything that brings joy into my life like singing does. Please give me the opportunity to atleast have a shot at what I love most, not too many chances like this available in Albany, Georgia. Please help me

  36. Kayann Hutton

    I have been singing since I was four years old and I can’t think of anything else I would like to be doing with my life on a daily basis. I have worked in many fields in the past but never in the field of music, but I know that is the field in which I belong. I believe in doing what you have to do until you can get the opportunity to do what you have been called to do; therefore I went back to school and completed my bachalors degree in management. Unfortunately, since my graduation in 2009 I have not been able to land a good job. I am tired of wasting my time working in dead-end jobs. I would like to fulfill my purposs in life. Can you please help me to make my childhood dream of becoming a singer, songwriter, and recording artist a reality. It would be greatly appreciated.
    I admire you both and would like to have the opportunity to be discovered you both.

  37. Ieasha Hopkins

    I’m Ieasha 15 years old from Tennessee. Singing isn’t just a hobby or something that I do because I know how to..”the basics” It’s my life. It’s something that I’d like to share with the world. My ma dealt with the trials and the bad side of the music industry that brought her down.. I’m here to raise it up and not just her, everyone. Being on here will throw ya’ll in for a surprise.. I’m just a normal teen who deals with crazy things and want to help otheres like me to show they’re not alone. I tried starting Youtube postings, but It’s not the same as performing in front of people. I am very good with getting stuff, lyrics picking up on them in 10 minutes is the type of person I am. I hope you pick me, I’m very dedicated and hardworking so failing isn’t an option. I just hope you guys could push me closer to my dream.

    why i should be considered? why should anyone be considered, for thier drive and passion for what it is that they love the most. i personally love to sing. it brings the best and the worstout of me. all i acn see is music in my future. when i try to think of something else lol it knida mmakes me mad. i get frustrated. when i listen to the radio, i can feel myself behind every word as if it were me singing and not them. when i watch performances, it brings tears to my eyes because my heart longs to be on a stage. whether im writing my own music or singing someone elses. because no mattter where the lyrics came from it means something to someone. music is in my soul and without it im not sure where i would be. all ive ever wanted was a chance. whether the out come is what i want or not, a chance to live something that seems so far from me, a dream. i dnt want it for the fame or the name . i want it because i love it. like a doctor loves to heal and make people better. in a way i feel the same way. music is my medicine and my doctor. and that will never change. and if i dont catch your eye it will remain so. i would just love the chance to share the same love that i have for music with everyone else. my mind and heart is open and ready for it all ready for anything. ready to join my love. and to be around others that have that same love. others that i can grow and learn from. just like the doctor i could never stop learning and growing. take my voice to places i never knew were possible. and i speak to you as humbly as i know how. this is what my heart has always desired. but im goin to stop now lol. cuz i cld probably go on and on. ( and i have trouble writting, i talk enough lol ) thank you taking your time out to read this and no matter what you deside.. this will always be my love

  41. Rachel Bockover

    My name is Rachel Bockover
    I grew up singing with my mom and four sisters in the northern CA mountains. I always knew I wanted to be a performer. When I was 17 I started writing songs and performed at my highschool graduation. I got to be pretty big stuff in my home town but theres only so far one can go without some kind of break so I auditioned to be on American Idol. Unfortuately I didnt make it onto the show. Next I tried The Voice, and again didnt get through. Each audition I do I learn a little more. I am most often told that I am hard to classify, or need to find more modern influences. Its hard to get your foot in the door in this bussiness for any one but when your different it can be even harder. Uniquness is encouraged but within certain peramiters. I just need some guidence to find my true voice as an artist. I know there is a place for me in this world. I know I have something to offer I just need a platform. I have never had any formal training and I have never had a mentor. More than anything I think thos things could make the difference for me. I hope you will consider me for your show.
    Thanks for your time

  42. Kate Chastang

    My name is Kate. Singing and acting are the only things that I have ever really felt happy doing. Music is my whole life and I believe I could be a breath of fresh air for the music industry.

    Not only do I have raw talent, I have a very important message. I have struggled with my weight for years and have never been able to get it down. Even though I am a bigger girl, I believe that my size has nothing to do with my talent or self esteem and I want girls out there to stop feeling down on themselves because they are too big or too skinny or to pale or aren’t the prettiest or whatever it is. If they see someone like me, big and beautiful, making it, then I think I could be a role model for these impressionable little girls.

    I am 18 years old, a student at the University of South Alabama, where I am studying Secondary English Education. I am 5’6” and have brown hair and brown eyes. If you want more information on me or my history, feel free to email me, and I will get back to you immediately.

    Thank you!

  43. Sascha Shamkin

    Hi:
    My name is Sascha. I have the willing to perform and work as long as it takes to make a great movie or TV show or series. I would love to be a part of this as an actress because I love to act and love to be in fort of people one of the reasons you should think about auditioning me is because I know what it is like to be on stage so to speak for 24 hours seven days a week every week and even for years at a time since I was about six weeks old since my dad was the GM of several 5 star resort hotels which gave me the opportunity to express my talents to a wide variety of people wither they are having fun or not.

    So let me tell you about me and my experience on stage in my life so far note a real stage not in the hotel. I am great with people I have been on stage since I was at least in first grade I have lived in the Caribbean my whole life and spent summers in MD where I live now so I love to travel. I am twenty years old will be 21 in May I am great with every kind of animals even exotic ones. I am also special needs high functioning Autism called Aspergers syndrome but willing to work as long as it takes and whatever it takes to be the best actress I can be.
    I also love drama I’m really good at it wither in so called comedy or intense drama séance it does not really matter though I would probably have to work on the comedy one a bit more than the intense one. I am willing to try any type of acting you have. I really love acting I have just about my whole life.

    I also like singing but to be honest I am not sure how good I am different people tell me different things about my singing.

    I also love to dance use to dance on stage in the Caribbean for few years.

    I have been in plays have had my own lines been on stage singing dancing and acting.

    I know I want to be in fort of people and love to act it would truly be a dream comes true for me if I got a part. I am also really good with babies’ toddlers and kids of just about any age also great with babysitting.

    I would love to be a part of this movie because I am a good actress and believe whatever you through my way I can do with a smile on my face and complete it. If you could please send me an email and let me know if I can audition when and where or if I did not get a part I would appreciate it a lot.
    Respectfully,
    Sascha Shamkin.

This sounds clique, but music is my heartbeat and not a day goes by that I don’t have a song playing in my heard and singing out aloud. Being on the show and finally getting the chance I’ve been waiting for would mean the world to me. Palm Coast, Florida may seem like a place where nothing exciting every happens, but it’s where your next star lives! 🙂

    I have auditioned for American Idol and other shows…I never made it. It broke me and for a while I gave up my passion which is singing and music. I now have a family but there is still such an yearning inside to be singing…its what I love to do! I live in a small town and not much happens here!! Please I believe all I have ever needed was a chance…someone to believe in me and help me to get to where I should be! This is what I was born to do and I only pray for that opportunity! I am 30 years old but I will tell you this…I have SO MUCH in me and through everything I have experienced in my life I have a story and I know that I was meant for this!!! Please consider me! God Bless!!

  50. Mary Cannis

    There is a new wave. It has a name. It is Daniel Cannis. Listen, and above the twitter, you will hear a voice that embraces as much as it entertains. Singing and performing comes as naturally to Daniel Cannis as walking and breathing.
    In the world of popular music, Daniel Cannis has come along with a new genre and style that can be described as epic; putting a Mediterranean sound into the everyday modern song.
    This Mediterranean flavoured music with its modern pop instrumentation is infused with the beautiful words and phrases of the Greek language. Daniel uses his voice to give life to original songs, written by himself and the extraordinary, award winning and multi-million selling maestro, John Capek. Daniel’s music will take you on a journey that will take you through a myriad of emotions and feelings; making you laugh, cry, remembering to be thankful.

    I hope you like what you see and hear!!
    Thank you and looking forward to your response.

  51. Shay Marie

    Hi everybody 🙂

    I’m 16 year old “Shay Marie” born Shannon Marie VanOstrand on June 10, 1996 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Growing up, I developed a love for all music genres, but I was raised on Country Music. As a little girl, anywhere my Daddy would take me, he would always make sure that he had everyone’s undivided attention, even if he had to stand me up on a counter top or table, and then he’d say “OK now, sing Marie”! Because of this, I became fearless and loved the spotlight. By the age of 7, I began performing in school choral programs and competed in local talent contests. At the age of 9, I was singing the National Anthem for spring training and minor league baseball games at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, FL.
    At the age of 10, I faced a huge tragedy that would change my life forever… my father died. For a year, I quit singing, and I started putting my feelings down on paper. When I started singing again, I discovered in my music a new way to cope with my feelings of hurt and loss, and I haven’t stopped since.At the age of 13 I began performing around my hometown at festivals, fairs and open mic nights, and am still working hard at my craft. Now 16, I go by “Shay Marie” to honor the memory of my Dad. Please come to Greenacres, Florida

    Hi my name is Michelle Roane I live in Paulsboro, its a little town in New Jersey and I am 21 years old. I’ve been singing pretty much all my life! I sing all types of music gospel, r&b, pop, and soul are my favorites. I love to perform in front of people! Singing is one thing but when you can entertain on top of singing thats what makes an artist! One artist I look up to not because shes famous or because everyone likes her but because I admire her drive! Beyonce is one person who makes sure she gives her very best when she entertains and I admire that about her. In additio, I would love to audition and be apart of the show, I want to show the world my talent even if its one time because I know I have what it takes! Thank you 🙂

  58. Tanisha Deshay

    I know I should be considered for your show. I am 34 yrs old and I knew at the age of five that I wanted to be a singer. My Dad always supported me with my singing he would always ask my sister and I to sing and he would give us money or sometimes candy for our performance. This is my dream and it has been for over thirty years, I haven’t been able to get close to my dream because I don’t have the funds to support my music career. My Dad passed last year, I went over March 15th, 2011 to care for my Dad and that’s when I found him unconscious, I will never forget that. It would be such a blessing if I am chosen to be on the show I love all kinds of music and I love singing I know my Father would be so proud of me. Thank you so much for listening to my story

  59. Markeishya Freeman

    Hello there,
    My name is Markeishya Freeman and i believe that my twin sister and I would love to be apart of this. Were both very passionate about singing and our style reminds everyone back home of Mary Mary, we’ve been singing ever since we were little girls, we were brought up by two different eras of music because both our grandparents and our parents raised us so we listened to alot of different music. We love to have fun, were easy to work with and were up for anything that comes our way, were GO GETTERS!! Thank you for even making this show 🙂 This is really amazing

    My lifelong goal is to touch other through my music. I believe that music is a universal language and can be understood by anyone no matter what background they come from. Given a chance to work and perform with the best mentors would mean everything to me. I am all about putting in countless hours and sleepless nights to get closer to my dream. Being a part of such an amazing experience would not only give me the best opportunities but a filled heart knowing I impacted others through the passion of my music.

Up for anything to launch my possible career, all I need is a chance for someone to say yes. I’m 18, 5’4″, and 108 lbs. I’m Hispanic and proud! I’m quite the small girl for my age, 5’4″ and 108 lbs, but don’t let it fool ya’. Singing? I do it, all the time! Annoys my parents quite often when I’m up at 4 am practicing vocals. Unfortunately my parents think my dreams are only that…dreams. Music is my escape, but hopefully one day it will become my job and life.

    I’m normal, I’m loud, I’m fun, I’m a hard worker…if you believe in me, I won’t let you down.

    All anyone needs is a someone to say yes to their dreams

    Hi! I’m 14 and like lots of people on here I’ve been singing and performing (plays, talent competitions, vocal groups, etc) since I was 6. I have to say, though, that Country, music is a love of mine and what I want to (and do) sing! I feel I’m ready for my “sparkle time”! I’ve performed in front of small and large (500 people at least) groups so I can handle that. Since I’ve been in and auditioned for many plays, I can handle the stress of criticism as well as the applause. I’m from beautiful Woodinville WA. I would love this opportunity and hope to hear from you!!!
