Tuesdy, November 15th

Today Monte gave us a project to work on that took up most of the day. The radio station here in New York is Z100 and they have a contest every year for singers for them to get a chance to open up the Jingle Ball. The Jingle Ball is a huge concert here in New York that huge artists perform at. This year, Monte is a judge to pick who wins the Z100 contest and as of right now there are only 25 contestants left. So Mara and I sat down with the list of 25 singers, links to their websites, and the voting sheets, and we listened to every single person and wrote down scores from them. The scores were supposed to be from 1 to 100 so I scored mine in intervals of 10. There were different things that we had to score them on, and then we had to add up all the scores and come up with a final score. Some singers were good, but most of them...weren't. It was hard to listen to 25 singers in a row and still keep an open mind about each person. It took a long time to listen to each person, and by the time we were done, we only had time to do a few artist news stories and then it was time to leave. It wasn't the most exciting job, but it was pretty fun compared to office work.
