It's the day of auditions and I am super nervous. Amanda is of course not even stressing out. How can she be so calm? I chose to sing the song "The Lonely" by Christina Perri. It's my favorite song to sing. It was finally my turn to go on stage.
"What's your name?" One of the judges asked.
"Avery Jones" I replied.
"And what's your talent?"
"I will be singing "The Lonely" by Christina Perri."
"Ok, whenever your ready."
I start to sing...
Two a.m where do I begin? Crying off my face again. The silent sound of loneliness wants to follow me to bed...
Once I got to the chorus I felt really confident in myself! I wasn't nervous anymore and my legs stopped shaking.
I'm a ghost of a girl, that I want to be most. I'm the shell of a girl, that I used to know well!
Dancing slowly in an empty room! Can the lonely take the place of you? I sing myself a quiet, lullaby! Let you go and let the lonely in...to take my heart again....
My audition time was up. I was the last person to audition so after I was done performing one of the judges said, "Thank you all. We will have the list ready and posted by Monday. Have a good night everyone!"
Amanda said I did great and I told her the same thing. She said she was proud of me and that I did the right thing by signing up...I think I did too. I've never been more proud of myself!
