KaraokeFest™ 2017 will take place on Saturday, September 16th at the fabulous L.A. County Fair in Pomona and, by popular demand, will again be held on a Saturday. All of the exciting details for KaraokeFest 2017 will be available at KaraokeScene.com and in our coming June/July issue.
By the way, KaraokeFest finally made it onto the long-time hit TV show, “Jeopardy!” Pretty cool to have been seen by millions! Thanks Alex Trebek.
It’s voting time for the “Oscars” of Karaoke, the “KJ of the Year Awards.” These awards are so important because they provide a way to honor the KJs whose special contributions to Southern California Karaoke deserve to be recognized. Whether it is great song selection, outstanding sound system, fairest rotation, entertaining personality or just overall a provider of a most special Karaoke experience, the “extras” provided by the nominees in their prospective areas make Karaoke better for all of us.
Remember, the more votes that are cast, the more representative the results. You may vote online at KaraokeFest.com. The voting begins on May 15th and ends June 15th. In the interest of fairness, only one vote per email address and two votes per IP address will be accepted. Again, the KJ of the Year Awards depends on YOU, the Karaoke community, to participate and let those KJs who are worthy know that you appreciate their efforts. They are there for you; please be there for them! Vote for your favorite KJ… they deserve it!
KJs, please remember that to be eligible for KJ of the Year you must register at KaraokeFest.com prior to the start of the voting (May 15th). Don’t wait…register NOW!
