[druth8x]

Don't have pictures yet? I hear that's one of the stumbling blocks.

[hayden98]

Don't have pictures yet? I hear that's one of the stumbling blocks.

I have ideas on some of their appearences. Just need to link/post them when the shows are posted.

[*Wallace]

Yeah gathering up images/appearances of the singers is definitely one of the toughest tasks for me.

[hayden98]

Yeah gathering up images/appearances of the singers is definitely one of the toughest tasks for me.

I think for some of them at least I'll use various AI contestants who made at least Hollywood's pictures. (AI or outside of it)

It will be challenging.

I decided on the first HW cuts a minute ago
(Haven't finished any other "who'll be aired in this audition episode stuff though".)
It was hard cutting a lot of people.

[druth8x]

Ah that makes sense real AI HW pictures that very few of us, namely you know who they are anyways.

Glad you are working on the show. Even if it is all in the studio away from the tv screen.

I still don't understand why you the producer are making the cuts. But whatever. It's not like the tv judges are the ones calling the shots anyways.

[hayden98]

I'm aiming for putting the show up tomorrow. Unless something comes up then that keeps me, I should have the first show of the season and series up.

[druth8x]

[*Wallace]

YAY for show tomorrow.

[hayden98]

Okay, I think I may either do this later, or tomorrow. I'll hopefully be able to use photos well enough (I'll probably link from the official site for pictures;etc)

[*Wallace]

Sounds great to me!

[druth8x]

You do know about the image code right

CODE

[hayden98]

I can't post picture right now. I need some URL but I can't figure out what to put.

Sorry if the show seems rushed in any way.


Idol Star Auditions 1: New York, New York

Okay so here the start of all of this! Somewhat because I'm too lazy, but mostly because I didn't want to waste any time on this I'm only gonna show some of the successful auditions. So here we go! I'm also too lazy to think of new judges so for this season, at least, the current pannel of AI judges are here.

Here is our first successful auditioner!

Hi, I'm Dierra Nyamawasa! I'm 22 years old and I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I auditioned for the first season of Idol Star because my family's been begging me to go on one of these shows since I turned 16. I finally decided to give it a shot and so far everything's paid off! I'm really nervous because I've never sang in front of many people before so this is new to me, but I love singing and I hope the judges like me enough to send me through to Hollywood.

Jennifer: Hi baby, how are you?

Steven:

Dierra: I'm nervous but excited.

Randy: So, what are you going to sing for us, today?

Dierra: I'm going to sing "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen.

Jennifer: Good luck.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnR3PEZfxVs

Jennifer: I think you have a lot of potential! You seemed a little scared out there and you need to work on that a little. I liked your voice though.

Randy: I agree with Jennifer, you have room to grow.

Steven: I thought that was beautiful.

Randy: On 3 let's vote, 1, 2, 3...

All 3: Yes!

Dierra: OMG, thank you so much! I can't you enough!

And as the day went on a little further more great auditions came and went!

Arnelle Bonnett (Age: 15, Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee) audition (# 1-45)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2k1fQxSUZQ

Sade ShaRonne audition (Age: 15, Hometown: Brooklyn, New York) (# 11-112)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MXkoI4poqw

Hoping to be the first guy to make it through is Luke Sims.

Hi, I am Luke Sims, I'm 23 and am from Cleveland, Ohio! I'm just your average guy basically. I work at wal-mart right now and I'm ready to just take a chance and try to make something out of myself. My co-workers have told me I have a good voice so hopefully this isn't just a prank set up by them and they genuinely think I'm good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTI9FUI7SYg

Jennifer:

Randy: Well, that was a pretty good audition, let's get straight to the vote, I say yes.

Jennifer:

Steven: And it's a big yes from me!

Luke: What? I-I made it? WOOOHOOOO!!!!!

And more success came from 25 year old Joshua Nick from Albany, New York

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNj4DCdxkZk

All the judges: YES!

Joshua: Oh my gosh, this is so amazing, thank y'all so much!

And the luck continued with Ben Brightman, a middle school teacher from Charleston, South Carolina

Ben: What's up?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbwuIfxinLA

Jennifer: Probably my favorite audition of the day.

Ben:

And with that Day 1 has ended. Now onto Day 2! And the first contestant up is Keke Alarmitte.

Hello, I'm Keke! I am a 15 year old high school student and am from Boston, Maine! I've been waiting for the oppurtunity to try out for a show forever. I love to sing; I've been singing since I was 2. If I were to get a ticket to Hollywood, it would totally change my life. I mean, it'd totally just bring me into the spotlight and there's nothing else I want to do with my life than be a singer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JinJp3aDHb0

Jennifer: That was great!

Keke: Thank you

Randy: That was some smooth vocals, you really pulled it off!

Steven: Wow, you are ready. I say yes.

Jennifer: I say yes too!

Randy: I say 100% yes!

Keke: Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!

And while Keke celebrates with her family more contestants made the judges happy.

Ben Sullivan (Age: 17, Hometown: Hartford, Conneticutt)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYmO-ZNUDbg

Belinda Halquinique (Age: 21, Hometown: Buffalo, New York)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIOta2PXK9k

Clairr Robinson (Age: 19, Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpH_qHCQZ84

And the next contestant is Ashley Shultz!

Hiya, everyone I'm Ashley Shultz, I'm 25 and am from East Rutherford, New Jersey! I've been pursuing singing in places like broadway type shows all my life basically. I'm not a newbie to singing competitions around here either. I auditioned for IDF's Choice last year in the 3rd season. I made it all the way to the Hollywood Rounds before getting cut. I appreciate the show for giving me some expirience and some good advice. Hopefully I'll make a good impression

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTqbxbYvLJI

Jennifer: I'm not sure if you're ready for this competition yet.

Steven: I think you could get much better given another shot in Hollywood. I say yes.

Jennifer: I have to say no this time, I'm sorry baby.

Randy: I'm going to have to side with.......Steven this time, you're going to have to improve a lot if you're going to get anywhere though.

Ashley: Thank you so so so much, you won't be dissapointed.

And with Ashley's advancement, there's only one more contestant.

Hello I am Brianna Vonughel, I'm 15 from Rockville, Maryland and I'm in high school. When I was 5 I was diagnosed with cancer. I was scared but with love and support from my family, and medicine from the doctors I was cured when I was 10. I've always sang to just help keep my mind off the negative things in life. My dream is to help people with my voice and to give other people with cancer the hope to help them keep positive and to help basically anyone who is dealing with any hardship no matter what, and bring a smile to most, if not everyone's faces that I meet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54kNP5F6EA4

Jennifer: That was really good. I say yes.

Randy: I personally thought that was DOPE! I say 1,000,000% yes!

Steven: I think your voice is really unique. If you continue to give performances like that you'll make it very far! I say yes!

Brianna: Thank you! You guys are the best! I'm going to HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!


And a total of 30 contestants made it to Hollywood from the New York auditions! Stay tuned as we continue to show auditions in the other 6 cities. Next time we go to Savannah, Georgia! Will we find the winner there? Only time will tell. Thank you for watching and we hope to see you next time!

[hayden98]

YAY show! Gonna read and comment on it shortly.

Yay!

I voted, and commented on the Top 14 in IDFC.

Looking forward to replying to them.

[druth8x]

Show.

Not going to try and get attached so I won't review much at all.

Rachel Zevita!!

lolz at not eliminations shown/mentioned.

Tiffany sounded good JLo is just jealous lolz.

I remember Melinda Ademi.

lol @ BVH being basically the same name.

[*Wallace]

Dierra Nyamawasa- Aww she's really cute. i do think the nerves got the better of her and she was shaky at times but she has a nice voice and got potential. I'm not all that huge on Rachel Zevita so not the best first impression but decent.

Arnelle Bonnett- This was really nice. She's young, got a great big voice and had nice emotion with this.

Sade ShaRonne- Ooh she's a Jazzy soulful girl, isn't she? I thought this was pretty cool. She has a unique, cool soulful voice. Nice showcase of range too.

Luke Sims- lol J.Lo would fall in love with him already. But ooh first male of the season and he's fantastic. Maybe my fave so far, but I'm not ready to make favorites just yet. But yeah he's got a great voice.

Joshua Nick- He's got a really nice voice. I liked this. He's country/pop and yeah very nice voice.

Ben Brightman- This was very nice. It was good but didn't really stand out compared to the other auditions. But nice voice!

Keke Alarmitte- This was really good. Very nice and pretty voice.

Ben Sullivan- He's got a really strong voice. Really liked this.

Belinda Halquinique- Ooh another Jazzy girl. She's got a really pretty voice. Really enjoyed that.

Clairr Robinson- Good but I need to hear more of her to really make an judging impression.

Ashley Shultz- Oooh snap an IDFCNBS auditionee right here. I must be bound to love her then. Ooh I actually really liked her but awww at the judges being split on her. She definitely has to improve (but so does everyone, obvs) but I thought she was really good and she has lots of potential

Brianna Vonughel- Gosh so many 15 year olds. So much young talent. Awwww at her back story of being diagnosed with cancer. But awww at her being cured at 10. Awww she's really adorable, sweet and just so darn likeable. She's definitely got a personality that could make her a favorite. Her audition was really beautiful too. She's great and got lots of potential.

Great first show!
