Hi again friends and family,

Thanks for spending the last two hours watching the show with me. I obviously did not make it on the show. I wasn’t allowed to tell anyone until after this show aired. You all have NO idea how much work goes into auditioning and how long the process really is. I am not allowed to speak much about the process but I will say that I had a BLAST. The producers were so FUN. I met a lot of really great people. My audition went really well but I was not what they were looking for. They told me that I belonged in a singing group like the Dixie Chicks. They were really nice and I am so glad that I tried. I don’t know if I will try again next year but I am sure you will hear about it if I do. I am bummed that you all couldn’t see my audition… thanks again! Lots more to come this year.

I love you all,

Jo

Dear friends and family,

Some of you may have heard through the grapevine that this past summer I auditioned for American Idol, some of you are hearing about this for the first time. While I am not yet allowed to comment on how it went, I can tell you that my audition took place in Savannah, Georgia and if you would like to turn on the T.V. and catch my face *hopefully*, tune in to Fox tomorrow night (1/18/12) and see how it went. Hopefully I am not made fun of or they don’t chop up a bunch of footage to make me look silly! I have no idea what this will look like, I will be seeing it for the first time with you. Let me know if you can see me!!!!

Xo,

Jo

P.S. If you would like to know what songs I chose to sing:
