Publisher’s Note • June & July 2013
“IT’S CONTEST TIME”
That means the biggest 3 Karaoke singing competitions of the year are about to begin. KaraokeFest 2013 proudly presents the hugely popular and highly prestigious Crème de la Crème singing competition that will be held at 22 venues throughout Southern California beginning on July 6th and continuing through the month of August. This competition has been called both the mother and father of all Karaoke contests everywhere, so don’t miss your chance to compete for thousands in cash and prizes, your opportunity to perform on the main stage at KaraokeFest 2013 and be named “Male or Female Karaoke Vocalist of the Year.”
Many of you will remember that 2009 Male Karaoke Vocalist of the Year, Abraham McDonald, was “discovered” at KaraokeFest and went on to appear on national television and win $250,000 at Oprah’s Karaoke Challenge; and 2010 Male Karaoke Vocalist of the Year, Clint Gamboa made it to the “top 24” on the recently concluded American Idol. Who knows what could happen this year? You could be next!
We are so happy to welcome back radio & television personality (and now author), Manny Pacheco, who will be coordinating this exciting event again this year. And remember, you may qualify at as many venues as you wish in order to increase your chances for making the “Finals” at KaraokeFest 2013. All of the Crème de la Crème venues are listed on the KaraokeFest™ website.
Then there are the “Crème de la Kids” singing competition for juniors 17 and under, and the “Crème de la King” singing competition for Elvis singers/impersonators. We are so pleased that Candice Worl is back as coordinator of the “Crème de la Kids” contest and thrilled that Tony Christina will again be heading up the “Crème de la King” competition. Please see the KaraokeFest™ website or all of the exciting details.
KaraokeFest Live Broad Cast!
All three contest “Finals” at KaraokeFest (“Crème,” “Kids” and “King”) will again be streamed live to our website, KaraokeScene.com so that anyone, anywhere in the world, can enjoy the program. What a great opportunity for the families and friends of contestants as well as other Karaoke enthusiasts who cannot make it to KaraokeFest to be able to watch the show as it happens. Live streaming will start at noon on Saturday September 14th.
KaraokeFest would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. I would like to take a moment to personally thank the Major Sponsors for KaraokeFest 2013, Ace Karaoke and VocoPro. We sincerely appreciate their support in making this the biggest and best “Fest” ever! We strongly encourage you to show your appreciation to these fine companies and their products.
