Alicia Keys Outsources Backup Singer Job to MySpace Contest

5/2/08, 10:31 am EST


Alicia Keys has joined the many others before her by recruiting talent off MySpace, as the songstress now seeks a backup singer via the social networking site.

Keys is asking candidates ages twenty-one to thirty to submit a thirty-second or longer video of themselves singing by May 5th, which is Monday, so you probably should stop reading this if you’re interested in competing and go to her MySpace page for full details.

To be honest, we didn’t go to Alicia’s MySpace page, partially because we’re still traumatized by that time she gave us a computer virus, but ideal candidates are asked to be “physically fit and able to dance.”

I don't get people who enter these contests. Don't they have lives/jobs?

Most people who are singers and good at it - they still have to support themselves and have real jobs, but what does that have to do with taking five minutes out of your day to record something for this contest? Obviously they'd have to quit their job if they won, but I think the recognition and if you got to tour around the world, paid for by Alicia Keys?

I'd quit my job.

She'd be much better off going to a music school and picking out an actually trained singer. And I know that dancing makes for more entertaining concerts, but it's bad form to move a lot when you're singing. You need to keep the airways aligned. (see also: Beyonce.) I suspect she's also trying to get out of paying union rates.
