ALJ Idol

Yeah, I haven't posted in awhile. Three reasons why:

1) I can never update an online blog religiously. It's just a habit of mine. I can't just sit here and talk about my day on a webpage.

2) Practically no one really cares anyway, so why bother to update regularly?

3) I usually just post on my 'Me & Shiro-chan' world, which you should seriously read if you (like me) are a diehard Hitsugaya fangirl.

But now that I'm here, I suppose I can talk about one really exciting thing that happened to me. For instance, my school's Spanish club is hosting an ALJ Idol singing contest in order to raise money. Though they did kinda steal the idea from the middle school, it's still a great idea for a fundraiser.

Basically, you've got your three judges, the person auditioning and the person recording your audition on camera. The only difference between the real American Idol and this mediocre copy is that when people audition, the judges say nothing. The auditions are merely recorded, and then they criticize later without the singer knowing their opinions. Probably to avoid the tears, drama and all that crap.

So anyways, I tried out for it mainly because I missed out in middle school and I wanted to at least make an attempt before graduating and being forced to wonder of might have been. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck. And the same went for my best friend Meghan (who sometimes goes by the alias Shino), though she was a bit more hysterical than I was (I'm the more mellow of the two of us).

But I managed to suck it in and perform, though I'm not confident about my performance. I sang "Everything" by M2M, which I realize now was a huge risk, considering the fact that it's meant to be a DUET song (uh oh ).

If I had a say, I'd say that my friends Marianne or Angela have a better chance at making it than I do. They're used to performing in front of other people, whereas my only audience has been either my parents while I'm singing to the radio in the car, or close family friends during karaoke parties. And even then, I didn't just grab a mic and belt out on a stage. I usually just sang from where I was. But if by some miracle I'm chosen, I'll thank the almight Powers That Be and take it from there.

Wish me luck, minna!
