Rejected for being "Overqualified" - My Audition on National TV
Arena McLellan • March 1, 2025
2024 Audition for a Reality Singing TV Show
With over
250K views across Instagram & Youtube, my audition was one that many debated over.
On National TV, after singing my little heart out, I was told I was "Overqualified" to be on the show - a comment I never thought coming.
I look back on this moment from 2024, and it still blows me away that it all happened... what a unique experience.
It was however an experience that taught so many lessons and fuelled my work ethic to then create opportunties for myself and some of career highlights.
That's what I see as a true win!
