i just wanted to let you all know. this was my audition. and i’ll tell you one thing, it took over two years to get the guts to read what the media wrote about me.
i’m glad i waited that long. it would of destroyed me because obviously, the media seems to assume that i’m about as unfeeling as fictional tv character. or least it seems that way from how heartless their comments were.
i’m sure no one cares of what it feels like to perform in front of 30 million people, three celebrity judges who want nothing more than to tear you apart for exploitive entertainment – then let down and give a bad name to the 14,000 back in your home town, never hearing the end of it for the next two years and of course–reading things like what they wrote in Celebridiots.
gosh. i was so nervous, i didn’t even realize at the time of how badly i was doing. but after watching it two years later–i found out happened. i feel to pieces because i was so nervous.
think of this as telling my side of the story. and correcting and facing my past mistakes.
