Hot damn! That's awesome!!! Man, I hope she gets a crack at singing for them.
Hey RD, you look perfectly comfortable in that third pic... you know, the one where you are in front of "Pittsburgh". :smiley_coolpeace:

I've eaten at that Hard Rock a few times. Not the best food, but great atmosphere. It's one of the smaller Hard Rock's I've seen, but when a show is there it is up close and personal!

Cotty, they invited my daughter to come back and sing there or any of them. I am strutin like a proug Rooster, lol.

I told my daughters about this and they are geekied for her. AI is one of my guilty pleasures. We watch it as a family every week. My 5 year old says that she is going to try out...I said if you sing like some of them I won't let ya ;)

This is TOO COOL!!!! I wish you the best of luck.


I now understand why you never invite Huck to come camp at your house!! He'd be so distracted by your daughter he would forget all his clothes. :smiley_crocodile:

Beener, I figured you to be on the right. Booger is da man!

If it makes you feel any better, I watch AI as well. Same as you, it's a family thing. In fact, it might be the only show we all sit down and watch together.

I will post more pictures from today, I am sorry to report she did not make the cut. We have both learned a hell of alot about Idol. We had 16,000 - 18,000 people registered. They only take 200 on the first cut. What is sad and they told us today they will take some of the goof balls that dont even have a chance but they take them in for entertainment and ratings. I understand that but you got say 16,000 on the low side, you take only 200 and probably 10 - 20 are the werido's but what about those 10 - 20 spots for the goff's that could have been for the ones with real talent, kind of sad. My daughter went up maybe around the 1,800 contest and at that point maybe 12 got put though. She was great, strong after wards, I was more bumbed then her, she looked at me and said "Dad there is always next year, dont be so down". Then she said "Hey I will come back next year and in beween I will sing at the Hard Rock Cafe". What a Kid. I am so proud even though it did not work out the way I was praying. She is strong, and I love her.

Thanks Guys. No the big judges are in October. You have to go through like 3 or 4 try outs before the TV judges. Uploading some photos now. Stay tuned.
