Foo Fighters - The Best Of You
Whenever I hear that song now(and I dont even like it) I want to cringe because I picture myself falling face first on stage ::) Hey it was over a year ago and I still work there :D
Haha, thanks Cally! I'm sure you were cute as hell. I'm really nervous but this site has totally helped me get my nerve up.
I didn't audition at my first club; I was hired straight off the bat. But my very first stage song was "What's Your Name?" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The DJ picked the song; I just asked for rock and roll, and mentioned some bands I liked, so he went with Skynyrd. The second song was "Sweet Home Alabama." I had so much fun up there and felt great, though I probably looked like a total doofus.
Skynnyrd! You were probably awesome, Yek.
Right now I'm thinking about a few different songs, including "Iiii want candy!" but it's sort of fast. I thought maybe I could have a lollipop on stage or something, who knows?
I just want to say, too, Yekhefah, that your posts and threads especially on SW have really helped me bolster my confidence. You really seem to have your shit together and it's very inspiring. Thank you.
Aw! Thanks! :blush:
I'm actually a hopeless flake, but I'm glad I can fool people on the internet!
Oh, and if you want to do the lollipop thing (which is a great idea) but don't want to use "I Want Candy" (which is kind of overdone), Mandy Moore has a song called "Candy" that might be good.
First stage audition: INXS "Need You Tonight" & "Devil Inside"
Mine was nickelback 'photograph and ummm i think animals? I can't really remember, I just brought in a nickelback cd cuz it was all I could think of and the dj played two songs for me. hehehe.
it was so long ago: this is how we do it.it was by montel jordan
Go for something with an easy beat for your first time. Dont try and do too much. Just take it easy and smile :D
Ooo, I'm so nervous! I just went and got a bikini wax though so there's no backing out now. The club has an amateur night tonight, but auditions are offically Monday–Thursday. I wonder if I should go in tonight...?
Thanks you guys, you're a big help :)
I can't remember back that far!
Just pick something you feel comfortable too, that you like. I always dance better to music I enjoy.
I didn't audition the main entertainer and mgr asked me to work there when I used to go in with my hubby. My first song I ever dance to was Naughty Girl~ Beyonce.. Everytime i hear it i remember my first night in my little blue dress, feels like so long ago:(
Pets by Porno for Pyros...........It's only 2 minutes long so it minimizes the pain.
"Alone I Break" by Korn- nice slow beat and it made me feel sexy because I didnt have to worry about dancing fast
My audition set was:
Sex on Wheels - My Life w/the Thrill Kill Kult
Gett Off - Prince
After Dark - Tito and Tarantula
My first song I danced to was:
Slow Wind (the jamaican version) by R Kelly! NOT the remix..hehe
I got tipped very good, too, on my first performance ever BECAUSE of that song.. its really slow and sexy so it made it really easy for me to go slowly.
rolling stones, beast of burden
and
fiona apple, criminal
(we had to do 2 songs)
yeah, i had no concept of what made a good music set. heh. then again, half the time i still don't ::)

I want to use that, Webbie & Trina's "Bad Bitch" and Ying Yang Twins "Salt Shaker"...
Oh hell.... I dont remember. I know I did an amateur night long before I was ever workin in the industry... before I was even a DJ... I did INXS's Taste It, followed by Sheena Easton's Strut.
Thrill Kill Kult is fucking awesome. There's this song on '13 Above the Night' that I really like, called "Disko Fleshpot".Quote:

i never auditioned. but the first songs i ever got on stage was micheal jackson butterflies, and some other song "clap you hands if your sexy" or something like that. lol. i didnt leave the pole the whole time, and barely moved! haha
if i was to audition nw, i think id use tamia "im so into you" slow, to remind you not to dance at the speed of light like a newbie trying to hurry time :)
