Well, I think I’ve finally figured out what cover song I’m going to audition with on April 1st. For the CBS audition I was told i needed to do 2 original songs and 1 cover. Figuring out what to play is a tough job in itself.

The original 2 songs are not set in stone yet…but I’ll probably end up doing one heavier raspy song on guitar and one mellower piano tune. I’m not so much worried about those as I am the cover mainly because they are original(they would never know if i were to flub up on those unless it’s a crazy pitchy mess up) but the cover is another story. So picking the perfect cover song that’s right for me has been weighing on me.

Originally, I was leaning on some sort of Beatle song but then yesterday I decided I’m going to try and do one of the hardest songs to play and sing by The Guess Who titled "Undun". Vocally, it’s really tough but if i can nail it, I’m hoping I’ll stand out. My guess is everyone and their mother is going to be doing a Beatle tune right?

Not only are the vocals for the song crazy-cool and hard, the guitar work is pretty snappy and not so easy. All this means is…I need to practice it over and over until I can do it in my sleep. I’ll most likely rent a rehearsal studio to practice singing it at full voice (it’s hard to be loud here in my apartment).

The next thing I need to figure out is what original tunes to try and WOW them with. Since the audition is at 10am I’ll most likely wake up at 6am that day just to give my throat some time to wake up an pump myself with a full tank of caffeine. 10am is not the best time to be singing but… no complaints from me…I’m just happy to get the chance to try no matter what time of day it is.
