Hey all,
This might be a stupid question, but I was just wondering, do you think either someone who is trying to get down to the top ten, or who was in the top ten who got voted off, would feel so down and depressed and feel like they don't sing that good? I guess I might have too much sympathy for people because I will admit that I have a bit of a depression problem, and a lot of other blind people I know do as well, that's why some people I know are very hesitant about entering for next year. i would do it all for the fun, but for some reason whenever I'm told I did something wrong, I feel all sad and take it to heart when I probably shouldn't. When I was younger, my older sister was always the best at everything, and there I was always behind her and I didn't really get credited with much, so I tried extra hard to be the best, and when I wasn't, then it would all come crashing down on me. So I wondered if other people felt like that. I took 2 and a half years of voice lessons, and I still don't think I sing all that good, but I'm getting better at looking at myself in a positive way. Maybe I'm blabbing too much, but I'm afraid of entering because I don't know if I could take the criticism and it's not like I want to be the zone icon, because I don't think I could be, I'd just want to do it for fun, but I'd hate for someone to really try there hardest and someone say that singing just isn't for you, or stick to your other job because you can't do it, that's just harsh and I know that even in american idol people have told me that they aren't that mean, but I'm not saying the judges are that mean in real life, I hope at least. Anyway, am I just running my mouth and not making any sense? I hope not, but I guess if I am let me know. But I try to be nice to most people I meet, and whatever comments I get back, I'll just take them as honesty.
thanks for listening,
Jasmin
As a person who not only was voted off te first round but go the lowest percentage of the votes I will gell you my feelings.
For me, it's a mixture of disappointment and relief at the same time.
I'm disappointed in myself for not doing as good of a job as I could have done.
I let my nerves get the best of me and my performance, well if you heard you know what I mean, and if you didn't hear it, well you didn't miss much.
But it's also a relief cause now I can enjoy Icon as an audience member and not have to view myself as a contestant hoping to get in and being overwelmed wih all the other talent that's out there.
And yes, even if I had did my best, I mostlikely would have voted off because there are beter singers on the show then me.
I have had other stuff going on in my personal life as well that would have taken away any enjoyment I would hav had about making it into the next round.
As for what the judges said, well I think that they were being honest, not just with me but with everybody else whether they did good or not.
Also My apologies for the spelling mistakes in my last posting but that seems to happen when I'm using the laptop.
I really think the people who got voted off shouldn't feel depressed, you made it through to the top ten, that counts for a lot.
i know it probably doesn't mean much because i'm one of the lucky ones who has come quite far, but don't let things like that put you off singing, if you sing, do it.
Live to sing, not the other way round.
at least people have tried there best, and really that's all that matters
You tell 'em loui, live to sing, and sing proud.
Well I'm glad that you guys are confident. I guess I should have more confidence because I know I have low self esteem. Sometimes, do you ever hear yourself sing, well I guess unless you're really good, and think, god I sound like shit? Sometimes, that's how I think, but again, I'm getting better at judging myself, so I'm not totally insane or anything. I'm just glad that there are nice people on here who don't give up and have a positive attitude, and remember if you do, make others feel the same way you do, because it'll make a difference in someone else's life. Believe me, it helps. I have a friend who always tells me things that are nice and complements me whenever I'm feeling down which really isn't much anymore, but he does at least. I'm glad to have him for a friend. It's hard to find nice people out there sometimes, and I guess I'm glad that I found a good friend who I can talk to. I know some of you guys already, and I'm glad we're friends. I know that's getting off topic, but I figured that's what I'd say, is thank you for the positive notes.
