Most of my friends know that I LOVE to sing. If you've known me for longer than 15 years, you also know that I was lead singer in a band for a short time when I had visions of Nashville (yes, I sing country with more comfort than any other genre).
I think that's why I love American Idol so much! I don't mind being 34, in fact I really actually love the feeling of having a little wisdom under my belt. It's a secure feeling. But, there's one regret I have for being this age and you've probably guessed it by now with my reference to American Idol. Yes, I regret being too old to audition for American Idol...there. I said it. Out Loud.
Do I think I could be the next American Idol? Not in 14 million years. Maybe 15 million.
Do I think I would have made it to Hollywood? Hahaha - since we'll NEVER know...absolutely!
But even if I hadn't, I'm pretty sure I would have at least been taken seriously (well, at least for my voice) I absolutely know that by this time in my life, I don't have the necessary "look" That's over. Done with. But that's part of the reason why I would have wanted to try out - just to find out if I even had a chance!
But I guess I'll never know. Every season, I'll just have to mourn the fact that babies are taking over the world of entertainment. I would have hated Nashville anyway.

SWEET! what made you give up your music aspirations?
you jest warm tha cockles of me heart admittin away yer girlish secrets! i'm glad im not the only one who thinks about stuff like that. ;)
i guess this is what it feels like to get old. this is just one of the first dreams that will never become reality because we're too old. i can deal...
Aww, I wish you could try out too! :)
I'm in Knoxville, only two short hours from Nashville. Come on out! :)

Deepak: thanks for stopping by!
I have the opposite problem. I know that they would have taken me in a heartbeat and I would have won.
I had the voice. I had the "look." I certainly had the charisma.
Too bad that they didn't have American Idol in 1852.
Yes Steve, but do you have the humility :)
Hey I'm Debra, my blog Here's Debra, I saw your award to Jessica's blog sometime back and have been enjoying reading yours ever since. American Idol may have age limits but you certainly don't appear to old to me. Taylor looks older than you do and he won this last year. I just think your the cutest thing and your family lovely. If you still like to sing but don't think your a professional sound you might try checking with your local cafe's and coffee shops that use more unknown talent, it adds a more comfortable feel for their customers and people seem to like having live entertainment instead of piped in music. By the way your new pics are great. They fit the words you write about your life. Kelly has a good eye.
Debra: your comment is probably the nicest comment I've ever received. Thank you!
First, I'm going to add you to my RSS feed because it's been far too long since I've visited.
Second, I liken this "too old" experience to something similar for me. I'm 36 and almost everyone I watch in professional sports is younger than me. I can't get over that fact. It's so alien since for most of my life they were older or my contemporaries.
Oh well, the babies will rule the world one day, huh?
Childsplayx2: good to see you back!
