On July 14, Christina Carlson will sing her heart out in front of Paula, Simon, Randy and last season’s new judge Kara for a spot on American Idol’s ninth season coming up in January.
American Idol has made careers for Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Taylor Hicks, Jordin
Sparks, David Cook and recently Kris Allen.
“I’ve never had voice lessons and my dad’s family is very musical.” Carlson said as she sat down recently. “I enjoy singing.
It’s a part of me.”
A few of Carlson’s influences are Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Michael Jackson, Selena and Mariah Carey.
Christina, a senior at Los Fresnos High School, is so excited that she will finally audition.
Two years ago, Los Fresnos High School hosted its first talent show and she won first place by singing “If I Ain’t Got You” made famous by Alicia Keys.
“I’ve been wanting to do this since fifth grade.” Christina said excitedly. “I wanted to do it last year, since you have to be
16 to audition. Now I’m 17 and I hope I make it.”
Her mother Laura Carlson said the family has been following American Idol “since the beginning. We’re happy that she’s finally following her dream.”
On Sunday, Christina and her father Charles flew to Denver, Colo., to audition Tuesday at Invesco Field.
The American Idol Web site states that parents must accompany minors when they register and audition.
Carlson has selected songs that demonstrate her wide vocal range.
Carlson’s friends and family are hoping the judges will fall in love with Christina and advance her to the next round to display her talent.
“My friends and family like when I sing. It gives them joy and they always ask me to sing. I’m just glad I have support,” Christina said.
If she scores the audition, performing in front of a live audience will interfere with school.
Carlson believes that the producers will provide her a tutor or her high school will provide the work and books for her
studies.
Season seven runner-up David Archuleta received tutoring during the show and is one of the youngest contestants on Idol.
Singing has been Christina’s life-long dream. Now she hopes to hear “You’re going to Hollywood!”
“I might miss prom, but it’s okay,” Carlson said. “Singing has always been my dream and there’s really nothing else I like
doing, so I hope this is my calling.”
