The dreams of sophomore Aubree Bouche became a reality from the moment the golden ticket reached her hands. Bouche auditioned for ”American Idol,” but was unable to disclose exactly how far she’s advanced until recently, when her first audtion was televised and it was revealed that she earned a place in the Hollywood round.
Fighting her nerves, Bouche sang her heart out and made it to the next round of eliminations.
“I was nervous,” Bouche said, “but I tried my best to give it everything I had and just live in the moment.”
Since the age of three, Bouche has been singing in hopes of one day turning her passion into a career. After ten years of waiting to be on screen, Bouche’s anticipation has finally reached its end.
“I have wanted to try out for “American Idol” since the show first started,” Bouche said.
After facing the judges and listening to them critique her singing, Bouche’s emotions flew through the roof when she found out she had made it through the auditions.
“I was so excited that I burst into tears the moment I saw my family,” Bouche said.
After being viewed on national television, even people who did not know Bouche showed enthusiasm about their local television star.
“A lot of people came up to me and congratulated me that I don’t really know,” Bouche said, “It was nice, but it seemed a little strange to me.”
Now that Bouche has started to pave the way for a successful career, her life has seen shifts in everyday activities and normal routines. However, Bouche has crossed her fingers that life will continue to change as she hopes to use this opportunity to further promote her career in the music industry.
“I am looking forward to continuing my singing career and hopefully go somewhere with it,” Bouche said.
Bouche not only has the drive to sing, but has also expressed interest in acting.
“Singing is my main passion, but I do love acting as well,” Bouche said. “My ultimate goal is to pursue film and singing.”
Bouche now has the pressure of school and pursuing her singing goals, realizing that she has to juggle both aspects of her life equally.
“I have missed a week of school already and it is very hard to catch up,” Bouche said.
However, Bouche is not going to allow her school work to get in the way of her lifelong dream.
