WHAT: Oxygen's open casting call for the hit series "The Glee Project" in New York City on Nov. 12 and 13.

Performers can choose from a wide variety of songs to audition with, including "Ordinary People" by John Legend, "The Edge of Glory" by Lady Gaga, "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz, "Drops of Jupiter" by Train, "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers, "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood, "This Kiss" by Faith Hill and "Out Here on My Own" by Irene Cara from the movie "Fame."
