"Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul." -Marilyn Monroe
Hello, i'm Emily Valentine, formerly Emily Wynne-Hughes. A whole lot of women. I've been singing since day 1 out the cave. I grew up watching my mom shine on stage. Graduated high school and immediately started playing in a punk band called Go Betty Go. We were lucky enough to tour both nationally and all throughout Europe. In 2008, I auditioned for American Idol and made it till about the end of Hollywood week. I wasn't planning on auditioning for The Voice, but as soon as I found out Cee Lo Green signed up to be a coach, I knew that it was meant to be. I've always wanted to open for Gnarls Barkley. I'm hoping I will end up on his team, he's my hero!

When I got here, I thought I had this in the bag, turns out, I have never been in the company of such incredible talent. I completely respect all of my piers. Makes me so much more nervous for the Blind auditions. Apparently, in the first round, the celebrity panel won't be able to see us, and if they like the sound of our voice, they push a button and their chairs turn around. In one interview, the producers asked me if I thought it would be a disadvantage for me that the coaches won't be able to see us. At first, I was a little offended, and my reaction was, "WHAT?! Excuse me, but I sing as good as I look! I think..." I want the world and the Coaches to see my cute new hot pink lipstick, or my gorgeous black stilettos!
There are a lot of really awesome people here, personalities to match their many talents. I can already tell who i'll be friends with. The first person I met was Curtis Grimes, the country boy. He's nice and maybe we'll be friends, or at least play words with friends. Kinda lonely here. Everyone is so intimidating. Today I also met Frenchi and Tyler, and hopefully we'll bond, they have cute style and i've heard they're both super talented. Maybe i'll even be able to build some lifelong friendships with some of these people.
My mom has been so supportive throughout this entire process. I'm so lucky to have a parent that believes in me. Today, she bought me an, "Adorable Humidifier", that's what it says on the box. It's a frog that steams. Sooo good for your voice. I'm also prepared for the journey, armed with Throat Coat Tea and and endless supply of honey. I've worked on my song about a billion times and hopefully my voice alone will get me through. Keeping my manicured fingers and toes crossed.
