I hate dares. Especially when they come from Bex (who has a nasty sense of humor). And especially when they require going on national television.
"So you excited?" Bex asked me with an angelic smile on her face.
"No." Yeah, I know I'm being a bit rude, but right now I'm pissed. At Bex. And I bet a lot of you are wondering how I got into this fix. Well…
"Grant, I'm telling you, the guy with the red shirt is the wanted assassin from Germany."
"No, Bex, it's the guy in the blue shirt. He even has a German accent."
"GRANT! The guy in the blue shirt looks nothing like him, and the guy in the red shirt is practically identical. Why was I stuck with this moron?"
"Cuase this moron can kick ass."
She rolled her eyes. "Fine, if you're wrong then you have to do one dare." She said with a grin. Shit. I knew where this was going.
"Deal, if you do one thing I say, when I'm right." She nodded. I smiled. I knew I was right.
After successfully finding/arresting/completing the mission, Bex turned to me, "you are trying out on American Idol and singing Barbie Girl."
So, today was my audition, and I had to sing that song. After waiting in that freakin' 5 hour line it was my turn.
"Hello, and your name is" Simon looked down at the paper "Grant?"
"Yeah" I mumbled incoherently.
"And you'll be singing--?"
"Barbie girl."
"Very well, you can begin.
And I sang that stupid song. I could hear Bex outside laughing her head off, and Zach was no support either.
I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world I'm a blonde single girl in the fantasy world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Dress me up, take your time, I'm your dollie
You're my doll, rock and roll, feel the glamour and pain
Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky-panky
"So what do you think Randy?" Simon questioned.
"You know dawg, I like you man. I like your song, I like your voice, I like your attitude. Dude you were on fire."
"Paula?"
"Listen Grant, you just looked confident. I loved your clothes, and I think if you advance, the girls would go crazy.
"Well, listen Grant" Simon began "I think that was good, but I know you can improve."
"Paula? Yes or no."
"Yes, I liked you."
"Randy?"
"Man, you were da bomb. Definitely yes."
"Three yeses. Grant, your going to Hollywood."
I ran out to Bex pretending to be super excited and held up my yellow ticket.
"OMG OMG OMG!" I fake screamed.
Yeah, Bex and Zach were dying of laughter…
Wow, unrealistic, cheesy, and American Idol is on tonight!!!!!!! Yeah!!! Sorry, I used the three original judges. No offense meant to any of them.
