Publisher’s Note: October November 2013
KaraokeFest 2013 was huge and delighted audiences both at the Fair and around the world! The entire show (all 11 hours) was streamed to KaraokeScene.com and was available for viewing by everyone, everywhere. And what a show! Highlighted by fantastic singing performances and overflow crowds, KaraokeFest 2013 was spectacular! Probably the best KaraokeFest ever!
First, we wish to thank our major sponsors, VocoPro, Ace Karaoke and JoySound for their generous support of this event. These fine companies make it possible to have this day-long celebration of Karaoke every year for all of us to enjoy. Please show them your support for all they do for Karaoke.
The overflow crowd witnessed a most exciting day of fabulous singing and entertainment! The children in the Crème de la Kids contest were about as good as it gets performing just about every genre of music. The Crème de la King competitors were next honoring the memory of Elvis in grand style with their elaborate, colorful costumes and exciting renditions of the King’s classics. And the adults in the Crème de la Crème Finals again graced the Plaza de las Americas Stage for nearly 5 hours with outstanding, concert quality performances.
Thanks again to Marshall Thomas of KFROG 95.1 FM for another fine job of hosting the Crème de la Crème Finals Competition again this year. Thanks also to our good friend, Manny Pacheco, the best event emcee that anyone could ask for. And in his 4th year at KaraokeFest, the popular host of “What’s Up Orange County,” Scott Stewart, hosted the Crème de la Kids Final Competition. Thank you, Scott for another excellent job! And new this year, the multi-talented Karaoke personality Phill Cross, webmaster and “cyber king” of KaraokeScene.com, handled the hosting honors for the Crème de la King Finals, and what a job he did! Also our sincere thanks go to Crème de la Kids coordinator, Candice Worl (assisted by Tony DeFazio) and to Crème de la King Coordinator, Tony Christina, for their tireless efforts in making the dream come true for all of their talented contestants.
And GIGANTIC thanks go to every one of the generous volunteers who gave so much of their time and energy to make KaraokeFest such a special event for everyone. We are deeply appreciative of all your efforts.
