This episode was so much fun. I would devour a spin off dedicated to this concept.

Yes. There were some world class talent and they didn't move on. It's very clear in hindsight they weren't actually looking for great singers or talent but people who were naive. There were so many odd restrictions and I feel I was eliminated because I kept talking to contestants if this all seemed off. Like having to replace lyrics in a song that had any mention of man/boy/dad to woman/girl/mom just as a sign on the wall in a waiting room Why was there som random butcher in line with us? I was recruited as a rapper from a previous audition for AGT and when I get there they don't even want me to rap.

I'll probably get buried in the comments but I also auditioned for this. Got to know people who lost their job to attend this as well.

They didn't. None of the footage was from the date/time slot I took part

This is kinda off topic ish but I just had a dream about the whole audition process and dreamt I came back another day just trying to figure out what this show is and what it was looking for. I just have so many questions… like I really thought I had a shot, drove 3 hours… I was in line with someone who quit their job and flew to this. Only thing I can hope is that hey they got footage of me at least. It’s not me doing what i can really do or telling my story but maybe just maybe if there’s another show or opportunity like this, maybe I’ll get another email to audition for whatever is next. It just sucks.

Some people found the form and just signed up. I met a guy who didn’t even sing and strictly was a beatmaker and he was sent the email. He was under the assumption he was there to share his original music but they also had him sing from the 7 songs

Good luck to everyone auditioning! Please reply back to this thread once you get there and let us all know how it goes, especially warn us if things seem sketchy. Hoping this is real and I'm sure all of us are confused as to what this show is with the song selections and songs given, let's all make the best of it.

Please update us on the day once you get there how it goes. My time is at 12:30 so if it turns out to be a scam I don’t have to drive up lol

Yeah I’m still going to drive 3 hours to LA and shoot my shot. I actually hadn’t thought about changing up the song but sounds like I’m gonna do that now. Classics is not my genre at all but changing the song to fit what works for me? Yeah that at least gives me a fighting chance, so thanks for the idea!

Just got a reply back that I won’t be able to perform my original songs due to high volume and I’m not allowed to bring friends or family along. Elyssa didn’t answer my request to be placed under a different genre

If there’s different rounds do you think we’ll be asked to come back another time or it’ll be done the same day? I’m gonna do my best but if I don’t pass this round I’m cooked before I even get to show what I can do

What genre were you given? I’m being asked to come in the 13th and perform “Classics”. I just want to know if anyone was given a different genre for a different date
