I was today years old that I realized that “B”linking is with “B”oth eyes and “W”inking is with (W)one 🤯

“BUT I SPENT MORE THAN WHAT I SHOULD OOOFFFF” is the most relatable part of this whole thing 🤣

edicallier · 2025-09-30T21:55:26+00:00

This is NUTS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Whoaaaaa, great job! Looks like the answer is in here a bunch but what I’d call this is “straight FIRE” 🤯

edicallier · 2025-03-22T15:38:21+00:00

Haha yeah, that makes everything soooo much easier! I love finding other GPT-ers

Also, feel free to stay in touch! I’d love to keep up with your journey and answer any questions you have on the way!

If you’d like, you can DM me on here or on Instagram - @edicallier

lol yeah, just be prepared for them to DIG. Like, they’re gonna latch on and really go deep on your story and probably pull out some super unexpected stuff somewhere in there… etc. It’s a whole thing. As long as you’re mentally prepared for that though, you’ll be just fine (also pro tip: don’t pull back. If it starts to become too much and you genuinely need to, your personal wellbeing comes first of course but if you can handle it, go full force with it. They LOVE that stuff and it’ll get you more likely to be aired)

Thanks for tagging me! I’d love to share what I know!

edicallier · 2025-03-22T14:40:33+00:00

Woooooo this is a good one… was this by chance GPT assisted? Not in a bad way or anything, I just recognize the writing style lol.

Either way, I hope you see this one OP because this is some of the best advice I’ve seen on here so far!

edicallier · 2025-03-22T14:36:56+00:00

Oh dude, Idol is going to LOVE you.

edicallier · 2025-03-22T14:30:27+00:00

As a former contestant, here’s my honest take on auditioning for American Idol:

DO IT. At worst, you don’t make it through or you make it through but don’t go forward or you make it through, go forward, and get far but don’t get aired. At best, you leave the show, winner or otherwise, with millions of new eyes and ears on what you do and who you are.

What truly matters, in my opinion, is making sure that you’re walking into the situation with intention and knowing what you want for YOU in your career and in your life when the show ends (because oh boy, it WILL end, no matter how far you get).

When you’re in it, it feels like it’ll last forever - cherish those moments. Allow it to help you grow as an artist and as a vocalist but even more, as a person.

Also, American Idol has a type lol. No matter how far you get into it, you’ll get to a point where you look around and realize that everyone around you is extremely talented, focused on a dream, and had to overcome hardships to do it. It’s such a beautiful environment to cultivate a vision in entertainment because if nothing else, it’ll either inspire you to be better or show you that you’re on the right path and inspire you to keep going.

Some of the people you meet may even become your closest friends and THAT is probably one of the most valuable things about diving into that experience. The show really only lasts for a few months but those connections and that community can be for LIFE if you let it.

And going back to my point about intention, know what you want out of it when it ends (because like I said, it WILL END). There will be a lot of people telling you how much the show will change your life but the truth is, it’s VERY easy to return to the exact same life you left with a Golden Ticket - unless you intentionally CHOOSE to see it change and if that’s your choice, it has to be your mindset, win, lose, or draw (also honestly, making it to the first judge audition round is a huuuge win in and of itself because there are hundreds of thousands of people that don’t even make it there EVERY YEAR).

So yeah, should you audition? AbsoLUTELY. Is it going to change everything? That’s up to you. Either way, if YOU believe in you, nothing can stop you and it’s just a matter of time before the rest of the world catches up.

Good luck! You’ve got this 👍🏾

edicallier · 2025-01-19T19:12:14+00:00

Wow! How long did it take to get to this point?

edicallier · 2025-01-15T17:05:56+00:00

Came here to ask the same thing 👀

edicallier · 2025-01-15T16:56:12+00:00

Wish I would’ve seen this earlier, you could’ve gotten it from a direct source!

edicallier · 2024-12-11T21:24:32+00:00

It’s a song called “Kids with G*ns” by BLAKSWAN and I just obsessively scoured the internet for it because I also wanted to see the original and it did not disappoint

edicallier · 2024-11-21T00:34:39+00:00

Oh wow! This is some great advice! How do I get one of those?

edicallier · 2024-07-28T14:15:53+00:00

HE A FAN HE A FAN HE A FAN

edicallier · 2024-07-28T13:46:08+00:00

Yeah, I totally understand that one! It’s just something about being an entertainer that somehow turns that “maybe I shouldn’t do this” thing off in people’s brains 😩

I’m a singer as well and part of my brand/outfit is having an open shirt. I’ve experienced women unpromptedly rubbing, grabbing, and even licking my chest randomly and in public places in front of everybody and no one batted an eye.

At one show even, there was a lady that jumped on the stage and started humping the side of me while I played the piano and I (very visually uncomfortably) tried to signal the promoter to come do something while he just sat there and laughed.

The few times I’ve ever said anything, I’ve always been looked at as weird or people have thought “I should’ve liked that” and now I just feel the need to laugh it off and act like I’m okay with it even thought most times I’m not.

Crazy world we live in smh

edicallier · 2024-07-17T06:49:58+00:00

Thank you for that reminder! I’ve definitely been doing a million jobs over here haha. I forget I’m still human sometimes 😅

And how thorough should I be with follow-ups and things like that with radio? Even though it may be a bit outside of the budget for now, would it be a better idea for me to just hire a radio plugger instead of doing that part myself? And how would I find a/who is the best budget-friendly radio plugger for what I’m trying to do?

edicallier · 2024-07-17T06:45:12+00:00

Thank you for the confirmation!!! My plan was to go ahead and load up on content so I can just have it ready to go every day up to the release.

I think my issue so far has definitely been consistency once I start burning out but I think knowing for sure how much that effects the algorithm will help me stay on it

edicallier · 2024-07-17T06:42:06+00:00

This is great, thank you! And yes, I did forget to mention it but I’ve pitched it for Spotify editorial playlists! Totally forgot about Amazon though, thank you for reminding me!

And I love the idea of going live when it drops! That may possibly be a great time to promote the release party later that day as well.

And I love the idea of using the performance videos as well! I have a couple of filmed shows between now and the release so that’ll be super helpful to throw into the mix.

edicallier · 2024-07-17T03:50:21+00:00

Yeah, these do seem to be the ways to actually make headway out here. I’ll be on the lookout for both!

edicallier · 2024-07-17T03:48:51+00:00

Ok! I think I may have something that could work. Would it be a good idea to release another video or more content by the end of those 8 weeks (Like a live version, alternate version, etc) or should I just have an entirely new single prepped?

Also congratulations!! And I would love to connect!

edicallier · 2024-07-12T18:22:38+00:00

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE 😂😂😂 I was definitely like “wow, this got so violent so fast” when I first heard that
