AHEM! I have an incredibly serious announcement to make. <drumroll please>

I want to be your next American Idol

I’ve wanted to try out for this show for so long, but either the 9-5 job or a lack of travel funds got in the way.  Last year, I went so far as to try out for the American Idol Experience at Disneyworld. (Ok ok… it took A LOT of persuasion by Dave. I think he had to talk me into it for 30 minutes.).

But now that I set my own hours, I’m going to give it my best shot!! (Thank you, Pat Benatar). I’m going to the East Rutherford, NJ audition on Aug. 3, and I’ll definitely be live tweeting the whole thing from @amylizmartin.

How can you help:

1. Cheer me on!
2. If you know anyone in East Rutherford, NJ that could put me up for the night before the audition, I would greatly appreciate it.
3. Help me pick a song! What would you suggest I sing? Leave comments by Friday and I’ll put up a poll next week.
