My Brisbane Audition

[Aniesha freakofnature]

Hi All, just thought I'd tell yous about my brisbane audition last weekend. First of all, my friend went on the saturday, and got there at 7:30, and she didnt' even get in. They turned away 1000 ppl, and let in 2000. I had been planning to go on the Sunday, but then she said that they were opening another day on Monday, so I camped in my car Sunday night, and got there 5 to 6 Monday morning. Apparently there were heaps less ppl than the last couple of days. They actually let us all in an hour early, so we were in at 7:30. There were about 400/500 ppl. They divided us into 4 groups then, like what time we got there. I got in pretty early, so I dunno what kinda system they were using, coz there should've been lots of ppl b4 me. Anyway, I'd planned to sing an original song, and it was upbeat, coz I'd been told that they seemed to pick songs with a bit more personality. As I was waiting, this amazing girl sang, and she didn't even get a bluecard! When I went in I told them it was a song I'd written myself, and I started. Then they stopped me halfway through, and were like "do you think you could sing something that we might know?" So I sang "Across The Universe" of the Beatles. But I know that I hit a couple of off notes at the beginning, coz it really threw me when they'd stopped me, coz I'd been psyching myself up for my song. I actually felt that they'd already made up their minds, so I guess maybe I didn't put my all into it like I did the first song. Then they just said "look, the competition's been really tough, so we're going to have to say no today, but thanks for coming in anyway". So at least they didn't kill me! lol. But I think that if I went back again, I would do someone else's song, something like "Beautiful". But I just wanted to do something different, and not a song that could be sung to death already. Ah well, there's always next year! Just thought I'd let you guys know. Best of luck to anyone who's auditioning! And thanks to all my wonderful friends who supported me and made me feel really good Peace, Aniesha

you still did a great job Aniesha. As long as you tried your best, we'll all be proud of you

(unless you're another fake like luis darcy....we're still a little bit peeved that he lied to us about making it through)

[Sheenia]

Way to go Aniesha,

How scary, you sound like you had an amazing experience, congratulation on having the guts to do it.

The comp this year is really, really tough from the sounds of it.

Imagine what it's like to watch the show that you were a part of at some point Aniesha. It will have an extre buzzzzz.

Congrats girl and thanks for sharing it with us

Sounds like you did a good job Aniesha otherwise the judges wouldn't have wanted you to sing a more familiar song, good on you for giving it a shot. It must have been annoying when the judges interrupted all the time.

Like teetree said we are all proud of you

[superc]

Great job, Aniesha
Sorry you didn't make it through.

Thumbs up for trying though! ;D

[Arwen]

[AfroDitee]

Well done Aniesha! I was gonna go to the auditions just to suss out who was there etc. but couldn't be bothered because of the rain ;D

Once again...good on ya for going!

[maggie20ct]

Well done for trying Aniesha!!

I also found the same as you when there was this amazing singer I befriended that didnt even get a blue card. A bit of a mystery

Anyway hope the experience was really good and its great you had a go.

[Sash]

Aniesha, I love your name by the way!

Good on ya for trying! Please, become a member on this board so we can have all the auditionees & next year form an advice or support group & share song choice ideas, outfits.. etc

It would be great to get to know you. Are you a musician? I ask because you mentioned that you sung an orignal song.

Hi Gang!!!

I'm sorry to say it but I think we have been tricked again! Sounds like this Aneisha chick is version 2 of Luis Darcy. Sorry but I'm not falling for another one of these silly pranks! The last time this happened I was devastated, heck, I'm still in shock about Luis.

TEETREE I know you are with me on this one. Don't fall for this obvious joke!!!

[K]

Good on ya for having a go ;D

To the person who posted above me, why would she lie about this? She said she didn't get in. I don't understand why you think it's a joke.

i'm sort of agreeing with you, but she said she didn't make it through. Luis Darcy said he made it through and then changed the thread to say that he didn't....so we were mad that he lied to us and then tried to lie to us yet again
