Audition trauma experienced by Chappell Roan on The Voice recounted
Rewritten Article:
Chappell Roan, a 27-year-old pop sensation, has laid bare her harrowing audition tales for prominent reality TV shows – The Voice and America's Got Talent.
In a candid chat with glossy mag W Magazine, Roan shared her crushing experiences, beginning with her The Voice audition at the tender age of 15. She belted out Rihanna's 2012 smash hit, Stay.
Being as bold as a gazelle, Roan decided to put her creative spin on the then-popular Bruno Mars track, When I Was Your Man, by changing the lyrics to "When you were my man" to bring a unique gender twist to the song. However, she realized that it wasn't so rare after noticing that many other young female contestants were attempting the same.
Recounting the audition, Roan expressed that her performance fell on deaf ears, as the judge or producer never even raised his gaze from his phone. "He casually said, 'Next.' Belting it out a cappella was the scariest thing ever, and he barely looked at me," Roan reminisced.
Her memories of the America's Got Talent audition, which happened when she was just 13, are equally bitter. "We froze our butts off, waiting in line with a thousand fellow hopefuls at 4 a.m.," she recollected. Shaking off the cold, Roan performed Cyndi Lauper's True Colours, again, to no avail.
During the interview, Roan also revealed an unexpected first encounter with her music when she heard her song Good Luck Babe on the radio while in an Uber. "My heart was pounding, but I didn't scream like you'd expect – I'm not one for displays of emotion. I squeezed my friend's hand and scribbled 'Oh my,'" she shared.
Fast-forward to the present, Roan has a major outdoor summer show lined up at the Royal Highland Showgrounds in Edinburgh, Scotland. Although she has faced shares of disappointment, she continues to shine brightly in the music scene.

Who, at the age of 15, auditioned for the popular reality TV show, The Voice, was none other than Chappell Roan, a 27-year-old pop sensation. Despite her audition for The Voice featuring Rihanna's 2012 hit single, Stay, she was ignored by a judge who seemed more engrossed in his phone than her performance. In another bitter memory, Roan, then only 13, waited in freezing cold with hundreds of other hopefuls for her audition on America's Got Talent, where she sang Cyndi Lauper's heartfelt ballad, True Colours. However, her unique talent shows remained unseen, as neither of these performances were aired on television. In a surprisingly casual encounter with her own music, Roan recalled hearing her song Good Luck Babe on the radio while in an Uber, even though she is known to keep her displays of emotion under wraps. Despite the early setbacks in her entertainment career, Roann has climbed the ladder of success and now preps for a major outdoor summer show in Scotland.
