I auditioned this year,
i dont think im an amazing singer but i can sing in tune and people have told me i'm good so i thought i'd give it a go..
i queued for about 4 hours in the pouring rain outside the o2 arena.. then when we got in everyone sat in the audience and there were like 20 screens at the front with a producer or 2 behind each.. i waited about 5 hours to be seen!!! Still soaked!!
when i auditioned there were 2 women producers and after i'd sang they were just like "sorry its a no today"! Not what i could improve on or anything.. so part of me feels as if its all for tv, lots of people were getting through at the begining and then not so many etc. I think they can only let a certain amount of people through and they also have to put through a certain amount of bad people aswel for tv! There were a couple of amazing singers auditioning before me and they wern't getting through.. it didnt make sense!
I think it was a good experience though.. it would have been better if it hadnt of rained!
You might as well give it a go just think of it as an experience and if you dont get through at least u've tried instead of watching it each year and thinking... urghh that could be me! lol
Hope that helps
, good luck if you give it a go!
