Craziest audition ever Mary Roach

[@dharmallars]

So true. This girl did not go on idol to be on tv for five minutes or to be a viral UA-cam star, she did it because she thought she was good and that she could win and be a worldwide music sensation. And I think that’s so beautiful.

[@arizonaskye3917]

Staged or not staged I still felt sorry for her. She was a nice person but just a little bit weird with her solo act. I think she actually could have a good background voice. But she just can't sing solo so far as I've seen. She tried God bless her she's a lot more brave than I could ever be.

it's really interesting to me how people's talking voice and speaking voice could be so different

[@suchabadkitty1293]

Yes, you are strange. As is Mary.

[@reddillon8425]

She needs to work on vocal cord closure (you can tell because she even SPEAKS breathy), drop the weird poorly done Rob Thomas impression, and work on breath support and projection (aka become louder, working on vocal cord closure would help this a lot.) and voila, you now have a singer on your hands. She could also potentially benefit from working on darkening her tone a bit as well but that depends more on her own personal preference.
Source: I'm a classically trained singer. Singing has a lot more components to it than any non-singer knows, she has a lot of potential.
Edit: also, if you told me she's actually able to sing and she's just an actor hired to perform badly to spice up the show I would fully believe you.

[@hannahpadfield3142]

I completely agree. It made me feel so bad for her, i wish her friends would have been honest with her. She didn’t deserve to be absolutely humiliated on national television.
