We started off the evening with a fantastically fun group we affectionately nicknamed "The Misfits" They sang as a group -Summer Nights and Love Shack- they had fun, we had fun watching them and singing along. The staff at Agave Barb (te-he) & Grill were even bopping along.
Finalists from last weeks contest, Mary and Annie brought along newcomers Tommy, Deanna, Matt and Babs! Remember Babs from the earlier years of TJ Entertainment? (How is it that we've aged and she hasn't?). Tom wowed the audience with his vocal talents and Babs was as entertaining and just as energetic as she was 12 years ago!
We had many newcomers last night.
Among them were Roger (who did a fantastic job and sings a vast variety of styles and genres) and Nobel (she was sitting in the back as quiet as could be), stepped onto the stage and belted out Lady Marmalade...it was Awesome!!!
Annie was ON last night. Every song she sang was like listening to a recording. We were so hoping to hear more of Mary singing Norah Jones, but she had over worked her vocal chords earlier in the week and needed to rest up....girl, you better be well by next week!
Beautiful Athena had a large group of friends come in for karaoke and boy do they know how to have fun...the Spice girls, Ashley, Christie, & Meaggan hammed it up, as did Kevin, David, Darius, & Ilya (and we can't forget Big Mike). Ryan (aka Opie) Paula & Marco were working on their liquid courage and just never quite gathered the courage to sing....this time, (but we thank them for their support).
Our contest winners this evening were: Babs in first place, Tom in second place and Nobel in third place. Ilya placed as an alternate, should one of the top 12 be unable to attend the finals Oct 28th. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, (shhh, you can't tell a soul). So far, there have only been 3 or 4 contestants for each round of the contest. Which means, almost everyone goes to the finals. So, although the competition is stiff, there is every possibility that YOU too can make it to the finals. So join us on wednesday Oct 14 for a funfilled night and enter the contest. Remember, you will be judged on your appearance, and your moves as well as your vocal talents. So come looking nice and shake your groove thing ( if the song calls for it).
We would like to thank Dot Todman and the rest of the judges for their time, diligence and fairness. We look forward to having Dot judge again next week. It was a special treat when she gave her critique to the contestants. She does the same thing for the American Idol contestants, and she is a celebrity vocal coach, so our contestants were thrilled to have her take the time to offer advice on how to improve their performances, as well as complimenting their high points.
Well, that's all that I have to share with you for today. Until next time. Luv ya.Val
