Sean's Audition


Watch!
 
  • Why should you be a Much VJ?:
  • I should be a Much VJ because I have a vast knowledge of pop culture and have a very outgoing and approachable demeanor. With attitude, wit and a great sense I'd be a great asset to the VJ family.
  • Formal education completed:
  • Grade 12
  • Languages spoken:
  • English, some French
  • Last job(s) held:
  • Rogers Video shift leader
  • Describe your personality and style:
  • I'm flamboyant, witty, intelligent and outgoing. My style is kinda funky, classic, evolving and a little rock 'n roll. I'm always changing - never be the same twice.
  • What are your strengths?:
  • I'm a fast thinker, quick on my feet, outgoing and will always rise to the challenge. I love to entertain and meet new people, some of my strongest assets.
  • What was the best concert you've ever attended and why?:
  • Cher - the Farewell Tour. The show was a constant moving experience of lights, dance, music and video, you couldn't help but leave in awe. Cher's my mom. I love her!
  • What are your two favourite CDs, and what's the most recent you've listened to?:
  • My favourite CDs are "Spice" by Spice Girls and Sheryl Crow's "Greatest Hits". My most recent CD is by Ashlee Simpson.
  • Name three books that have influenced you:
  • To Kill a Mockingbird, He's Just Not That Into You, and Queen Bees and Wannabes.
  • What magazines do you read?:
  • Cosmo, Rolling Stone, and People
  • What are your goals?:
  • My goals are to pursue fame and fortune by any means necessary (excluding porn). I just want to be happy and fabulously wealthy, is that such a crime? Seriously, I just want to leave my mark on this world and make my mother proud.
  • What three artists would you most like to interview?:
  • Cher - she's my mom, Jann Arden - amazing Canadian artist, Robbie Williams - British shock rocker!
  • If you had the opportunity what one question would you ask...
  • 50 CENT: What hurts more, getting shot or getting a bad review?
    AVRIL LAVIGNE: Do you ever regret wearing "the tie"?
    THE KILLERS: Why "The Killers"? Seems a little hostile dontcha think?
    COLDPLAY: Was it easier breaking into North America or Europe?
  • What social issues interest you?:
  • Discrimination. We live in an age of tolerance, ideals, respect and individuality. Why then are people being persecuted for who they are? This world needs to be as modern as it pretends to be.
  • Who, in your opinion, are the most influential artists in music history?:
  • Elvis Presley, Ludwig Von Beethoven, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, and Cher. They all pioneered one style of music, fashion or ideal in their time, and have all found a place in today's culture.
  • What does MuchMusic mean to you?:
  • MuchMusic is a platform to express one's ideals and beliefs. It's an experience that gives the youth of this country a platfrom to get their voices heard. Much helps to open the eyes of kids who would rather be blind to the world.
  • What are your favourite shows on Much?:
  • MOD, It List, Top Tens, Countdown, and MuchNews. These are the shows that let you know what's hot and what's going on in the pop culture world today.

Coming Out On Top

Sean

Sitting here the day before the final elimination, my head is running wild with thoughts, questions, and a whole lot of wishing I could get a hug from my best friend, my mom, and my boyfriend. For the longest time in this competition, I've started to lose confidence, not so much in myself, but in my ability to win this thing. I kept telling Nikki to win it for me, win it instead of Erik, but I remember a time back in the Gladstone (man that feels so long ago), where I told myself that if I'm not going to win, I'm going to beat Erik. Here I stand at the cross roads between both of those things, winning...and beating Erik.

I can continue to sit here and doubt myself, beat myself up, let all those people who've doubted me from the minute I opened my mouth in this world...win, or, I can decide that it's my time to shine. I came all this way, and I've come all this way to start doubting myself? I don't think so. We make choices in this lifetime, I'm proud of all of mine, be they right or wrong...I made them. I don't regret what got me here and I certainly don't regret anything in this lifetime. However, I feel I may have made a mistake in doubting myself along the way. There's only two days left until I go home...is it too late to have come to this revelation? Absolutely not! If you've always got time for Tim Hortons...then you've definitely got time to believe in yourself.

I'm going to come out on top in this situation. I have what it takes to be an amazing VJ, but more importantly, I have what it takes to survive in this lifetime. No matter how much I've doubted, and lacked confidence in this game...it was all due to the lack of control. I fully have no control of whether I win or lose at this point...I've given it my all and done my best to rock this bitch. Here's hoping. I believe that I have what it takes. There's no such thing as too little too late. I'm here. WATCH OUT!

Curt - I only hope I've made you proud.I can't wait to see you.

Andrea - You told me how proud you are. I'm doing this for you.

Mom and Dad - I'm sorry for anything I've ever said out of anger. I love you both. Your little boy is going to make something of himself yet. Thank you for everything.

To everyone else - Thank you for your support. Thank you for your friendship. And most importantly, thanks for believing in me every time I felt I couldn't.
