Thoughts on Music, Motivation, Life...
Abbey Rondo from Kensington has made it to hollywood via American Idol. She was my voice match. What this means is that when Kensington would choose a song to go w/ their service, they'd decide which 2 voices sound like that song and one would do it at the main campus in Troy and the other in Rochester at Adams high school for identical services. So, we supposedly sound similar w/ the same range. =) But, I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this. I don't even watch the show. I'm very happy for her..and hope she wins. She's been on the news and christian radio stations already and is very vocal about her faith- so that's awesome. It's just weird. I don't even like the whole pop scene really-
And yet find myself thinking ... Could that be me? Getting through the 1st couple auditions where you sing for 10 sec and are treated like cattle (auditioned b/f w/ Alisa) is so unpredictable... But ...wow, famous over night...even though AI is not my thing, you still find yourself having the hope that you can somehow incorporate your own style and creativity if you could just get to the judges that really count and make it. But anyway, even if she doesn't win, she'll most likely get a record deal etc....and I'm living in a little room- writing an occasional worship song...spending all my time working for a company where I don't see a penny b/c of my bills...AGH. I've been trying to update my vocal resume to just get out there and do things on the side.. 1 for financial reasons and 2 for the fun experiences etc... But it's hard to find time. I'm still dreaming a bit. But just need to get organized too.
It's just all funny timing b/c right when I start to get more motivated in music and creativity... I hear about Abbey...and well, it's even more motivating i guess- dispite the fact that I probably wouldn't even want to go that route. (I know..Jen's head is a jumbled mess) ; )
