On March 1st, I drove to Chicago with Steve (my boyfriend) to try out for “America’s Got Talent”.

I had a private appointment, so I didn’t have to wait in line at all (it’s good to know people….thanks again DJ!!!), so that was a real treat.  We ended up getting to the venue at about 4:00pm and my appointment was at 6:00pm.  I registered and then was taken to a private room with some other acts (I guess they knew people too!).  I waited for a while and was finally taken to an audition room with two people sitting behind the table and another person video taping.  I was asked to say my full name, where I was from, and what I was going to sing.

I sang “At Last” by Etta James.  I think it may have been the best I have ever sang it, so I was really excited.  I had given the man behind the table a brochure with my Mom and I on it, talking about our Biggest Loser experience.  He seemed really interested in it!  he asked me to wait outside for a few minutes while he went over my paperwork.  After a few minutes, a girl came out and led me to another audition room.  I had my picture taken, a few more questions were asked, then we waited again.  I was called to audition again in another room, this time with 2 men behind a table (they looked like “big wigs”) and another video camera.  Again, I sang “At Last.” They were very impressed, but asked if I sang any current hits.  They really put me on the spot!! I ended up singing “Killing me Softly” and they loved it.  Then they said that they don’t make any decisions on that day and I would hear from them in about 3 weeks if I made it to the next round.  I was then escorted out.  Then brought back in!! They wanted to ask me some more questions about Biggest Loser and my confidence now that I have lost all the weight, etc.  So, then I was asked to wait for more directions.  Some people that came out of that second audition room were just told by the PA’s that they would call in 3 weeks if they made it, and they were sent on their way.  BUT, I was asked to stay behind and someone would call me to yet ANOTHER room! I went into a third room and was handed a binder titled “Approved Song List”, which was a book of songs cleared for TV airing.  The woman stated that they don’t make decisions that same day, BUT that it was NOT a bad thing that I was sitting in the room with her :) :) She told me to pick 3 songs from the book that I would like to sing IF I was chosen to be on the show.  AHHHH!!!! She asked me some more questions and then it was finally time to go.  SOOOOOO, I am still not sure what’s in store, and If i do make it, I should find out in 3 or so weeks.  They tape the Chicago show LIVE in Los Angeles from June-July, so I may be spending another summer in LA….yayayayay!!!!

Thanks to everyone for the support, and please continue to cross your fingers and pray for me!!!!!!
