PASSION!

I know that there are alot of qualities you must have to "make it" but i want to "keep it" and I know that passion is one of them.  During my second round of auditons, The judge told me that I have passion.  Although I already knew it, it was important for him to see it and feel my passion.  I get emotional at times because I sing from a place that I keep a tight hold on and don't allow that place to get out very often. My inner deep feeling, experiences, and insecurities. I still somtimes feel that my voice is...... idk..  Unique was another term that the third round judge used to describe me.  Remember this is the same one who told me no.  Not Bitter, im just saying. I have to be comfortable in my own voice and although I may seem like I am at times, I still get a little nervous bug in me telling me that on one will understand my sound, or my heart. But I know God does and so does my 15 fans. I love you all so much.

And another one! Youtube Arianne Dabney

Just a little somthing while sitting in my stressed free closet!

SONG WRITING

  I have to be honest with you all, when I started this blog, I was really afraid of giving too much of myself.  I am such a private person and I hold so much in which is so unhealthy and being in the counseling profession, I should know better, however, I am still human.  I have been writing some new material and the more I write songs, the more I release myself. It is so theraputic and I now see what song writers mean when they say write from the heart. I wrote for the first time how I HONESTLY felt as a child and the way I was treated and felt so insecure. I'll tell you a few tittles.....



Mission- It's about the crule motive to completly take over a weak mind, and having a true friend who wants so bad for you to just get out of the situation, but as much as this friend tries to help you and support you, you can't seem to move. That friend goes through the motions with you and it is an emotional rollercoaster for ALL PARTIES INVOLVED!

Rollercoaster- It's self explainatory.  It's more of the make up than the break up and the force behind the make up and the highs rather than the lows which make it so hard to leave a toxic relationship.


Inspired-I was inspired to write this song after listening to IF IT'S MAGIC- by Stevie Wonder because the meaning behind it can mean so many things. Love, Forgivness,God, The sounds of children playing, the sounds of the ocean, a cool breez, or even a flower bed.

Day 2- OMG I love this song. It remindes me how jocked out I was about a guy I knew nothing about.  I was compleatly infactuated even before I spoke with him on the phone and honey after day 2, I just knew this meant forever. LOL, how crazy was I ha. When this happens, you don't even go into the situation with a clear understanding of anything and anything he tells you or shows you, it will always be better than it really is.  THINK! JUST THINK!

LOVE- What is it? I know what is from God, and my family, but......... love? nawww, not for me..... you think... I guess

Song writing.

This is my new Passion. I can do this anytime, any place, my favorite time to write is exactly when I'm going through that emotion or experiencing inspiration.

Back in the swing

           I am just getting back into the swing of school and still dealing with life as we all are.  I am looking foward to balancing my schedule and making sence of all of this madness.  I have music, studies, a home to take care of, responsibilities. I am so blessed and grateful for my constant support. 
          
       

TYPOS

Ok, so my dad calls me while I'm waiting on class to start and he tells me that it is unexceptable for a graduate student to have all type of typos on my blog. I lol so hard. My respond was, " oh so you do keep up with my blog," He said of course. I type on my phone alot and my phone has a mind of its own.  I guess I could do much better. I promise to do better, but what can I say. I will make sure to view my posts before I publish them. I thank you anyways for excepting me and all of my flaws. lol see you all later.

My first day back in class.

The moment I stepped back into the class room on the fifth floor of Xavier University, I felt calm. I felt so at piece. I saw my class mates and I hadnt seen them in a long time. I went to southeastern for the summer. I must say, I really miss them.

Second round of American Idol auditions.

I made it again, I have a video but for some reason I can't upload it on my blog so make sure you all go to my Facebook page.

First round of auditions.

I made it!!!!!! I didn't want to wake up at Three in the morning but I wanted IT. I was all sleepy and my nerves made my tummy hurts. But it was soon all over.

AMERICAN IDOL.........

On season 12 I Arianne Lee Dabney tried out for American Idol. I waited in the long lines like everyone ear who wanted the same thong I did which was a chance. After hours in line, I finally auditioned for the guy who said YES! He told me to be careful with my runs but I had a great voice. I went home feeling good and I celebrated that night with my loved ones including D.J. Capt. Charles who said drinks on him. He was so proud of me, and wk was my friends and family. I explained to my dad that because I didn't know how this would play out and niether did American Idol, I would take a semester out from school. He wasn't happy but he understood my Passion and my faith. On yesterday 9-10-12 I again went to Baton Rouge to the next round of auditions. I walk into A room of at least 15 people on a panel waiting to hear me sing. I sing and after a quick silence, they say YES! ANOTHER celebration with my family. 10 min later. I walk the most intimidating room of 15 more executive producers of the show with cameras and lights everywhere. I sing the same song. Whitney Houston you give good love. My heart is ponding so hard and so loud I van hear it clearer than I hear my heals click. All of them in there British accents give ONLY compliments but say " I'm going to say NO!" I was in total shock. I wasn't angry. I said thank you and walked off into my third interview but my last with this show. The same day I got back into new orleans I went to Xavier University to get back into class for the semester to see if it was too late. Dr. Hale did not take it easy on me. Because of the hurricane, classes were postponed and I was able to get back in class. God has total control over everything. He made this all possible. He always does. This was a step of faith I took in his name and he knew it. American idol was not apart of my journey and he showed me. I sit in class as I type this message on any phone thanking all of my family memebers who still stood by me.
