"So, Charity. Tell us about yourself," the producers asked the young 15 year old, who sat on the chair in front of the cameras.
"She smiled and twiddled her thumbs, a nervous habit she did. "Well, I got diagnosed with autism at the age of four years old. Since then I've used music as a way to control my emotions. My idol is Jussie Smollett from the show Empire and I just love his music. I hope to win it all and prove that I have what it takes!" she exclaimed, her smile bright.
The producers couldn't help but smile from behind the camera at the girls enthusiasm. "We can't wait to see you out there, and best of luck to you!"
Charity nodded and with one last smile walked off, ready to kick butt in this competition.
Next up to sit down and talk was Ryder. He'd wanted to be on this show for years, using Glee Club as a start to boost his singing abilities.
At the go, he began to talk. "When I was a sophomore, I found out that I had dyslexia and it really lowered my self-esteem. It wasn't until I auditioned for the musical and joined the New Directions that I felt like I belonged someplace. I also love to play the guitar which makes my style of music stand out because I can turn almost any song into an acoustic version," Ryder told them, pushing his "Justin Bieber" style hair out of his face. He could definitely charm all the ladies with his looks.
The producers could not have been more impressed with his self-confidence, even with all the challenges he had to overcome. "Well, we cannot wait to see what you can do out on the stage. We wish you all the luck!"
The young man smiled in return and headed back to the lobby. He was nervous, that was to be expected of any contestant, but was ready to show what he was made of.
Next up was a girl, wearing what looked like a mini skirt and really short crop top. According to the forms, her name was Sutton Driscoll. The first words out of her mouth were, "Don't bother asking me anything, I'm here to win and make people cry if I have to." She was a confident one at that, but also very beautiful, with silky black hair and striking blue eyes.
"What is your style of music, Ms. Driscoll? I'm sure all of our viewers would want to hear what song you will be doing for our panel of judges," one of the producers asked, a little bit intimidated by this girl's confidence, though her southern accent was definitely charming and very unique.
"My genre is country pop and what I'm singing will be not revealed at this time. All I know is for you and the audience to be blown away by my outstanding talent," Sutton paused and thought about her next words very carefully. "All I hope is that for all the other amateurs watching to take notes, because this is competition is mine to win." With that, she flipped her hair behind her shoulder and walked off, her high heels clicking on the floor.
The last person to walk in was definitely someone unique and looked very passionate about what she wanted and wanted to accomplish. As she sat down, a smile graced her face. "My name is Savannah Delmonico, and I live with my mom. I honestly don't know my dad, but I keep myself occupied by writing my songs and listening to different types of music.
The producers nodded at each other and smiled. "Well, you sound very eager to be here. I'm sure the audience and everyone is excited to hear you sing! We wish you the best of luck, Savannah!"
She smiled again, and shook their hands. "Thank you so much," Savannah said, walking back into the lobby, nervousness beginning to take over.
