In Living Room...LIVE!, viewers submit videos of themselves performing, strutting their best stuff, doing whatever it is they do best. Viewers vote online, and the act chosen as the favorite in the Ultimate Finalists' Round at the end of the series gets to appear on the show.
Keep watching for more go-rounds of this talent search!
We are not accepting submissions at this time. But we plan an entirely new series of Living Room segments in the near future. Keep checking back for word that you can again submit your videos.
We got the idea for
Living Room...LIVE! from
Sandi Thom, a British singer who
used the power of the Internet to get fans to notice her and music giant Sony to offer her a contract. Thom posted a video of her performing, and word about her spread in a hurry.
Thom chatted with
co-anchor Julie Chen about her rise from obscurity to stardom.
