American Idol revamps Vegas; sounds like a winner. Recap: Which guys should make the finals on American Idol. But now, he has to take that notoriety and try and make it in one of the most fickle professions in the world. After being accepted into Marshall University, Likens decided to audition for "American Idol" and soon found himself in the national spotlight.
They pulled me in during the cattle call, and I think they only took in about that day out of about 17, That was the longest I ever spent waiting in line for an audition. That took from about 5 o'clock in the morning until 6 p. It's a lot of waiting. As one would expect, there was a lot of hope and disappointment and anticipation in the air with that many people in one place, hoping for a successful audition.
Fortunately, Likens made it to the next round. But, they received it well and that was the first time I got one of those golden tickets that they show you on TV as you're walking out the door. They gave me a temporary one to take with me so they knew I had made it to the next round. From there, it really changed everything. Then, there were about 10 rounds that I had to go through before I made it to the live shows.
In the next round, I met with the higher-up producers Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and they were my hardest judges throughout the whole show because they said, 'We don't think you are a star,' and all of these discouraging remarks.
Then, I finally got in front of the celebrity judges and they were all about it. As one would expect, being on a high-profile TV show like "American Idol" taught Likens a lot about the business. How they manipulated things, some of it I didn't find appropriate.
But, it is a TV show first, and then it is a competition. They filmed everything that people did, and it was like putting bees in a jar. If you give them a deadline to learn a certain song, there is going to be drama. But, I really commend 'American Idol' for pioneering that and doing such a good job with it.
I'm not faulting them, that is just what I learned from it. Likens made it to the live show portion of 'American Idol,' making it to the top 12 male singers category before being eliminated. Then, he made his way to Nashville where he continues to pound the pavement, looking to go to the next level. I just want to make good music and hope people enjoy hearing it. I've been fortunate enough, this far, of really going out there and getting some attention.
We're definitely on the radar. Likens also returned to Marshall to get his degree in Theater Performance and he has added acting to his resume. He is in the process of auditioning for various movie and TV show roles, hoping to combine his vocal skills with his acting chops. Meanwhile, Likens continues to tour and he has a new single out called "No Other Girl," which can be found at his website, www.
Keep it Clean. Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd, racist or sexually-oriented language. He is a complete country package and could go far in this competition. It's quite possible. Home News. Amy Sciarretto Published: February 28, Filed Under: American Idol. Categories: Country Music News.
