OK im not too sure if this is the right place to post this but i dont know if any of you have read my blog.. But i previous applied for an audition for britians got talent.

Which was last month I was told that I had to wait up until 3 months before they got back to me. Before I Found out if i got thru to performing infront on the Judges, I was so nervous when i was audition i messed up a few times but they gave me another chance, i walk out feeling like id blown it...

I Never thought i would get thru to performing infront of the live judges but today I got a phone call from the head office at "Britians Got Talent" say that I made it through to the Judges on the 18th January 2011.

I can't actually believe I got that phone call im so exicited after all these years of me doubting myself I'm finally getting some where doing something I enjoy.

I don't want to

on your parade or anything, but does the fact you messed up your audition not make you a little bit suspicious that you could be set up as the next Wagner?

daveake · 21 Dec 2010, 18:37

It's one of 3 things ... 1) they think you're pretty good and might get somewhere; 2) they think you're bad enough for people to laugh at you; 3) the call was from a friend to wind you up.

Hopefully it's #1

The fact i messed up the first time because i wasn't prepared and it was the first time i had performed in front of strangers.

Well when i was speaking to the woman on the phone.. she said "You must have received a lot of phone calls & Bookings" which i haven't due to lack of promotion as i suck at promoting.

Everyone I've performed for family,friends & work colleagues all have told me that i was really good.

What meat song are you gonna sing?

K1ttycat · 21 Dec 2010, 19:09

Well done! How exciting! :) No matter why they called back, a call back is a call back afterall and another chance to show what you can do! Good luck and keep us updated!

These are people who aren't really going to be honest and tell you if you're shit or not now are they?

Good luck anyway.

True. but I did 12 stage shows in a local theatre back in 2008 and the people i was working with.. told me that I'm going to make it big time.. but that could be them just being nice.. but I've being doing magic for 12 years now and Ive waited for this moment for so long..

Its worth ago.. as Jim steinman said "if you dont go all the way you will never know whats on the other side"

I wouldn't do anything Meat Loaf related. If it's an obscure song (like Bad Attitude) then there's the risk that nobody will 'get it' and if it's a popular song then you'll be unfavourably compared to Meat.

He actually said “If you don't go OVER THE TOP, you'll never see what's on the other side.”

I havent performed since 2008, which was the same routine thru the hole show, wasnt my idea.

And when performing something different infront on an audience and not known what effects your going to do, there is a big change of you messing up. That is why i messed up on my first go.

Don't want to piss on your parade, I wish you good luck. HOWEVER, I would imagine that what that woman said, is EXACTLY what they will say to everyone and especially the bad ones so that they build up this HUGE expectation and you will look absolutely dumb struck when Simon Cowell calls you a useless wet blanket. This is exactly what they want. No doubt you will have to sign a waiver which states you cannot mention anything about previous rounds or what the researchers told you. Just don't expect much is my advice and don't let them influence your hobbies or interests too much.

No offence to anyone on this site and i appreciate your advice and support, but i don't really care what anyone says about how good I am (as not alot of people have seen me perform and don't know what I can do). I am NOT saying that I'm the best but I know i am good at what i do.

And I don't let anyone put me down, the way i see it the most important thing is too believe in yourself.. which im starting to do more off now than wot i did before..

It doesn't matter what Simon or any the Judges say to me, there criticism wont change the way I feel or effect my what I do. I know one thing for sure Simon hates magic so he's going to dislike me anyway.

AndrewG · 22 Dec 2010, 02:28

Well that's fine then if you have that attitude. Go for it and hope to see you on TV.

It just really bothers me when I see a lot of deluded people think they are great and the crowd shouting "off! off!". As I said I think a lot of that is because of previous positive build up and high expectations which I'm pretty sure the show itself is responsible for.

I don't want everyone thinking that im a show off i'm NOT If that was the case i would be out on the streets everyday doing street magic but tha'ts not me even though its the best way to promote yourself.

But this something that I've set my goals on and even if i don't get thru I'll still continuing doing what I do. And I will keep trying until I do get through this has being a dream of mine since i was a kid and I hope by doing this I will get some more publicity, Its not about winning its about talking part that counts.

That's the right attitude to have. As long as you believe in yourself and are confident, don't let others negativity get you down. Just do your best and give it your all, you can't do more than that.

Why did you start a thread all about you then?
If you've got talent and you want to show it off, don't make excuses, show it off
