Well, we finally held the finals for our Sing Your Heart Out karaoke talent contest. We had 11 contestants, 2 didn't show up. All went well. Everyone was well dressed and excited. I know we were excited and nervous for the contestants. We didn't have a favorite, but wished everyone a good show.
I don't remember every song that was sung but here was the line up according to my memory:
We opened with AJ who belted out What's Up. Tom came up next and sang an unfamiliar song in his falseto. Annie really got into Jacked Up. And Rayzer thrilled us with Thriller. Babs stole the show and worked the room with Another Little Piece Of My Heart. Andre' did a wonderful job with John Legends' Ordinary People. Mary crooned OOh Baby Baby! and Ilya did his striptease with a few girations to I Believe In Miracles. Idara showed that she's a winner with I will survive. The General broke our hearts with He Stopped Lovin' Her Today. And last but certainly not least, Mida sang her operatic aria Oh Mi Babbino Caro (I think I got it right). We think opera karaoke is the wave of the future.
Our winners were: 3rd Place, Mida Lane, receiving $25 as well as an interactive C.O.R.E. vocal training CD donated by Dot Todman Vocal Studios and a gift certificate for lunch for 4 at the Agave bar & Grill. 2nd Place, Idara Udoffia, received $50 as well as Dot Todman's C.O.R.E. Vocal
Empowerment DVD and a gift certificate for lunch for 4 at the Agave Bar & Grill. Our 1st Place winner was Babs Benson who received $200 in cash as well as $300 worth of free voice lessons donated by Dot Todman and a gift certificate for lunch for 4 at the Agave Bar & Grill. All of the winners received our very own karaoke dollars in the denominations of their winnings.
Although they didn't place in first, second or third, all of the remaining contestants received consolation prizes and Rayzer took home the prize for best moves, donated by Dot Todman.
We would like to thank all of the judges that have donated their time, ears and expertise over the last 5 weeks. And a special thank you to Dot Todman for her wonderful donated prizes and her critiques and counseling of the contestants throughout the contest. After the contest, Dot even graced us with her rendition of Blues In The Night (what a performer!).
If you weren't there we forgive you, but you may not forgive yourself. You missed a great night. But do not fear, although the contest is over, karaoke lives on every wednesday night from 8pm 'til midnight at the Agave Bar & Grill. Join us next wednesday and every wednesday thereafter for karaoke, great food, drink specials, drawings, tribute nights and loads of fun.
