rule #1 - don't totally destroy a song in front of the person who originally wrote and recorded it.
rule #2 - don't go into your auditions trying to sound exactly like a previous finalist - especially one who didn't win. if they didn't win - you won't win.
rule #3 - don't try to pull off a sound if you don't have a look to match it. clay aikin can't sound like chris daughtry. and the three tenors can't look like flavor flave. it just doesn't work.
rule #4 - don't insert the names of the judges into the song you are singing for your audition - it makes you appear to be desperate.
rule #5 - if you need a gimic (juggling, t-shirt with cooky message to get you noticed, costume, amish garb) to get you to the big prs (paula, randy, simon) round - then you probably don't belong in hollywood. your voice should be all you need.

What if you are actually Amish?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll be the bad guy here, but I think you meant "kooky".
if you are actually amish - then amish garb is appropriate. however. i seriously doubt that a person who is REALLY amish would be audtioning for a tv show. he claimed to not have a tv or know what the show was or anything - i think he was trying to pull off a borat...
ReplyDeletewhen did i mean kooky? i'm not the adam's family...
you bad guy...
Can't wait for more AI posts! I haven't seen much this week but will be a diehard when the Hollywood and voting rounds begin.
