Singing Audition That Will Make You Cry

Hi there. Hi. How are you? I'm sweaty, but great. That's how I live my life. Yeah. Well, what is your name? I'm Nina Daig. Where are you from? Beaver Dam, Virginia. Wow. That's cool. Love that. There's like three churches and a gas station. And y'all are gonna be the first people that I'm singing in front of. So you don't sing anywhere at home? No, I just, I write songs. Just, it's just what I do and they're secret. And then all this happened, so. What will you be singing for us today? I'm gonna sing a song I wrote for slash about my brother called Average Joe. His name is Joey, so. I've never written a song about my siblings. My brother Joey is three and a half years older than me. Growing up, people would ask like if we were twins because we both just had the same level of chaos going on. Who are you gonna make friends with today? Him. Yeah. Mentally, he's about three or four. He was born not breathing and there's lack of oxygen and caused brain damage. He's really taught me more than any other experience in my life to trust in myself. Since I was little, I always loved singing. Standing on the bed with the CD player going. I just have a lot of insecurities and started telling myself that it's not good enough and no one wants to hear it. So it's not that I didn't want to be a musician, but it's just never something I thought possible. But growing up, I watched Joey his whole life. He doesn't care what people think. He's just happy that he's him and he accepts himself fully. I think I'm still learning from him in a lot of ways. I got this? Here. I love you. You do? Yeah. I love you too. I mean, he's the reason I'm here. ♪ Hiccups from belly laughing again ♪ ♪ He's not my brother, he's my best friend ♪ ♪ Dollar store guitars playing for grandma ♪ ♪ VCR outlaws, we'd watch them all night long ♪ ♪ I didn't know you were different ♪ ♪ And it didn't make no difference ♪ ♪ And the laughs or the cries or the tears from my eyes ♪ ♪ I'm done asking why, cause I've seen the light ♪ ♪ God made me for you to help you get through ♪ ♪ And you for me to set my heart free ♪ ♪ You're anything but the edge, Joe ♪ ♪ Some people don't get it, sometimes we get lost ♪ ♪ But if you taught me one thing ♪ ♪ They're just learning how to love ♪ Thank you. You did well. Thank you. Oh, great job. Thank you. Love so many things about your voice. Thank you. To write from that place, it's how you formulate the beginnings of being a crazy good songwriter. And you've got the voice and you've got a tone that's just yet and really put all the puzzle pieces together yet, in my opinion. It was one word that kept flashing, experience. Experience. Yeah. And what I'm trying to decide now is, is it the time to push you through or is it time to let you hold for a minute and see if there might be something you can work on to come back to us? Sometimes by rushing through you, you might do more harm than good. Yeah. You know, so that's my dilemma right now. Yeah, I think it's very brave of you to come and share not only your voice with us, but your song. Especially if you're not really used to doing that. Was every note perfect? No, but we felt your heart. I feel like you're gonna have to work on that confidence a lot. You've gotta quiet all the voices in your head saying that you can't and be like, I know better and I can and I'm going to and lay it all out there every single time. And I believe you can. So I'm gonna say yes. Luke? I mean, I think singing is the right thing for you to be doing. I mean, there was a couple of missed notes, but I'm gonna roll the dice on you. It's a yes from me. As Kerry said, confidence behind that sound will be amazing. It's a yes from me. Thank you so much. You're going to Hollywood. Oh my God. Thank you. Congratulations. You gotta come get this. Wow. Wait, this looks like the rest of the tribe. Come on in. Ah, we get to meet him. We've heard about you. Yeah. How are you? How are you Joe? Good. Hey Brian. What's up buddy? How you doing? Hi Joe. Do you like this? Yeah. You want one? Yeah. Hey Joe. Yeah. You're going to Hollywood. Yeah.
