Advice for AI 7 wannabees: don’t sing anything by a singer who sings better than you!
Posted on August 25th, 2007 by TK
Words of wisdom from Chris Sligh to those aspiring to American Idol season 7:
So, auditions for season 7 of America’s favorite show have started up already. Crazy, right?! A year ago on July 28, I had my first audition in Birmingham, Alabama, singing “Sweet Home Alabama” 37 times (yes, the same song that later got me death threats…my stupid mouth). Anyway, it’s strange to think that someone’s Idol experience is starting before mine is even done…read his long post…I’d like to give you a list of songs not to do:
Anything by Aretha Franklin
Anything by Whitney Houston
Anything by Michael Bolton
Anything by BoyzIIMen
Anything by Mariah Carey
Anything by Celine Dion
Anything by any singer who sings better than you
Great. Sounds like you’re going to get treated to a lot of Ashlee Simpson and Madonna.
I love singing songs that I like from a variety of artists.Whats wrong with that? What about What if god was one of us by Joane Osbourne.They loved my version and said it was even better than the original
