American Idol Celebrity Guest Judge

Chapter 3: The Big Day

I got the email saying I made it through, screaming I called Abby to give her the news. She was so excited for me and couldn't wait to hear who the guest judge would be. Several days later, I was in Hollywood waiting in line for my turn at singing. I was so nervous I could feel myself shaking! When my name was called, I took a breath and walked in the door. There sitting at a long table was Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan. "Hey there." Katy said to me smiling. "Tell us about yourself." Lionel replied. "Well my name is Violet King, I am 23 years old and I live in a small town in the state of Virginia." I said. "Well nice to meet you Violet." Luke said in his country accent. "It's nice to meet all of you, its been my dream my whole life to sing on American Idol." I replied back. I took a deep breath and started to sing The Climb by Miley Cyrus, at the end of the song they all three stood up and applauded loudly. "That was so amazing!" Katy gushed. "Thank You." I replied. "What did you guys think?" She asked them. "Amazing absolutely amazing." Lionel said. "I agree with them both." Luke replied. "Well its a yes for all three of us, lets see what our celebrity guest judge think." Katy said. "Yes let's bring out our celebrity guest judge Joe Jonas!" Lionel announced. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the name, he has been my crush since the Jonas Brothers. Joe walked out from behind the curtain, and I could feel my mouth going dry. He looked so good in his jeans, a tshirt with a tie on it, and his hair all spiked up. "Joe what did you think of Violet?" Katy asked him. "She was amazing, its a yes for me." He replied smiling at me. I couldn't believe I was going on, and standing in front of Joe. After they all congratulated me, I was heading out the door when I heard someone call my name. "Violet!" They shouted. I turned around to see Joe jogging up to me. "Yeah?" I barely got out. "I'm heading back to my hotel where my band is, and I was wanting to see if you wanted to join us?" He asked me. "Yeah that would be awesome." I replied. ""Cool, we can have a jam session." He replied getting his phone out to text his bandmates. I followed him to his car and we headed to the hotel, and to a nice hotel suite where the other band members of DNCE were. "Guys this is Violet, Violet this is Cole, Jack and Jinjoo." He introduced us. "Nice to meet you, I'm a huge fan." I replied. "Glad to have a huge fan with us." Cole replied. Joe went to get the guitars and we had a jam session.
