Before I start i'll tell you that I didn't get through - just so you dont get your hopes up whil reading the story.
Well three words for the experience - WET, FREEZING and EXCITING
Me and my dad got there at 10pm and at that stage at least it wasnt raining, but we couldn't believe how many people there was already. We were at the end of the firstline of people so there was already a good 150 people waiting at this time.
Me and dad waited but he thought I should go a sleep in the car for a while so that I at least got some sleep before the next day so I did, and he held my spot in the line - only to have it start raining about half an hour later.
My dad stood in the rain without a raincoat or unbrella (we werent very prepared, we didnt think we were gonna wait from 10pm, we were just gonna check it out and come back later but when we got there we decided to stay) for a good 2 hours straight, despite my attempts to get him to swap with me at some points. I owe him so bad, im going to buy him a big pressie! because it was the sweetest thing that he did for me. All the people waiting in line around us kept telling me I had the best dad ever.
It was hilarious seeing everyone (including myself, yes I did get a bit wet and cold too!) looking like drowned rats when they all had obviously made themselves look beautiful before they came. The girls toilets were in a shambles
Ok Ok im sorry ill get to the audition bit now, be patient!
James and Andrew turned up at 6am looking all warm a cosy (ggrr) but they were great and talked to the crowd heaps, got our spirits up. James is exacly how you see him on tv, but Andrew really cares about his looks. He kept flicking his hair and making sure he looked alright.
Then after many recordings by Ten of us screaming (which we all werent in the mood to do after our night) we finally got to go in (maybe it was the 'let us in' chant we did?)
I got my number quickly as I was at the beginning of the 5000 strong crowd and went straight to the toilets to fix myself up and warm my voice up. I was really amazed at how everyone scrubbed up so well after the night we had.
Amdrew G called my number up (now that was a thrill) and I went in to the audition waiting room - of which there was 3 audition rooms coming off. We could hear veryones auditions through the thin walls and these people were amazing!! There were all these awesome singers and hardly any of them were getting through. It was really weird. I think because of the crowd numbers they had to be really brutal.
I went in to Audition Room C and sang for a lady who was quite nice, yet intimidating.
I was very happy with my singing and I couldn't have done any better than I did so while I was dissappoionted that she told me they wouldn't be needing me, I was happy that al least I gave it a go and tried my best.
I was messaging Sash throughout the day (which was hard without credit, had to use my dads phone) but we never got the chance to meet up.
I want to thank you all for being so supportive it really was great knowing people were genuinley interested and cared so thanx guys!!
ok hope that wasnt too long. Any questions?
