Pop Idol :: The pre-kasting adventure
oh boy! what a big day! started early and i was shaking already. way too nervoyus i thought. i knew the songs i was going to sing for so long but each times i tried to sing, i completelly forgot the lyrics. "this is going to be good" i thought. Hotel Alfa was my destination when i left home. i got there, and when i saw more than 500 people waiting outside i really thought going back home! my ticket was number 1157 so i had alot to wait i though. meanwhile, under a very hot sun, i started talking with the people around me. one i already knew from other casting, and i recogniced his face from tv also. he's nicer than he looks like actually. another guy in front of me, Paulo (i asked him his name later), we started talking about how nervous we were, and how worthless this would be cause from all of this people only few would go any further... then a girl next to me started talking to, shes the one who i talkd to most, she was really nervous, but really nice girl! after some hours waiting for the papers we had to fill in, they said "be back at 14.30h, lunch break now". Great!! more waiting!! and at 14.30 there we were again, after going to have lunch on a restaurant nearby with Carla (the girl next to me), and we all sat on the stairs to the hotel as people were arriving and sitting, and we would all sing together some well know songs... when they finally opened the hotel doors they took us to a big room... waiting room of course. always waiting! then the cameras got in. Pedro Granger and Silvia Alberto arrived some time later to dance and play with us. they had to film a little sketch for the first program. after that was just taking pictures and even talking to us, giving advices and just being nice. well i was getting more and more nervous at each second, and so was Carla who was sitting next to me. Paulo couldnt stay quiet on the same place. when they finally called our numbers, i was between him and the other guy i said i know from tv. Paulo's heart was almost jumping out from his chest lol. then we sat on the chairs next to the door of the room where we were going to be heard. that time Silvia came to talk with us, sat on the floor just next to me and said "ah im so tired. we were filming upstair on a swivel-door (sp??) and we've been there for over an hour to film 5 minutes" lol she's very nice, and even more pretty in reality than in tv. well when i finally got in my voice was shaking so much, i was so nervous, of course i could not be accepted, but i think its understandable after 8 hours waiting... none of us 4 passed, they were just looking for show off people i think. let's see how many of them can sing in september. well, ive never seen Paulo again, he had to take his car off the park or he would have to pay a high fine for the hours he had been there so he probably ran away as fast as he got out. Carla said she was too nervous too, and her voice wouldnt come out properly. the other guy was told again it was not what they were looking for... again! well then we got back home and at night i called Carla to know how she was and she said she got home, she was ok and that she had not come she would regret it cause it was a well nice day (she lives just 300+ km away). well, at the end i can say it was a well nice day to remember. at least i can say ive been there and met the presenter, specially Pedro Granger :p he's even nicer live :)
