THE MAGICAL KARAOKE CONTEST -The Show Starts Next Sat at 5pm

Post by otakuforlife »

The magic will fill the convention center once more..
The people will gather from near and far.
For one shot at karaoke glory!

THE EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE CONVENTION SAT AT 5PM

Also this year we will have a TROPHY :)

What's more magical then love!
So let's start those sign ups!

In case your wondering how this all works
The next 5 people who sign up here with all the information we need are in..
People who sign up after those 5 people are on the online waiting list.
This in case someone drops out of those first 5 available slots.
Another 5 people will be signed up on Friday of the convention.
Just stop by the karaoke desk we will have sign up sheets for the karaoke contest and
karaoke shuffle available. Why do we add five people on Friday?
Not everyone is forum savvy :) So we do this to make things fair.
You can change your song, however after March 19th you cannot change it again.

You need to know these things.
1 The karaoke contest is not open karaoke it is a contest, if your in the contest stay in the room please.
2 This is rated by audience ballot voting, any cheating will not be taken lightly.
3 Music that is hard to get etc. Should be sent to us so we have it ready for you.
4 Any musical equipment you bring your responsible for.
5 There is no rule five
6 All songs will be under 6 minutes
7 Duets are allowed but only one prize will be awarded to the pair.
8 This is a public performance people tend to tape it.

Again no pre-screening?!
Yup.. Worked fine last time.

You lucky first five posters need to include all of the following:
Name (Stage Name):
Song :
Artist:
Song Running Time (UNDER SIX MINS):
Instruments (if any):
Song Link (if hard to get)
Personal Email:



This Years Judging:
Real printed ballots!!
Also our staffer votes count for three each (18 in total) there by weighing out popularity.

FAQ

Do we allow lyrics?
Yes! Lyrics are okay but people will judge accordingly.

Do we allow non-karaoke versions of songs?
Yes! Non-karaoke versions are okay but people will judge accordingly.

Can we make a karaoke version for you?
No! The audio filters used to do that will make the track sound terrible.
(we can lower the music a lot and turn up your audio)

Why the online waiting list?
To cover anyone who wants to drop out before the convention.

Can I sing anything?
The restrictions are JPOP,KPOP,Anime,Game Music (Within Reason)
Has to be pg-13 or less content as well.

The First Five
1 Kari
2 Yes Guy#1
3 Jay-Shay
4 Arisa

The waiting list
1 Akari Minami
2 42believer
3 Jackie-hime

Hello there! If I sign up at the convention, do I just come Friday morning, or do we have to sign up during another karaoke event? Also, are we allowed to bring our own karaoke song to sing along with? (a CD or mp3 player? Ipod?) Thanks for clearing this up! I would LOVE to be able to do this, but want to be at the right place at the right time to be able to sign up! Thanks again! :)

Okay! Thanks for the help! Two more questions, where is the karaoke sign up desk located? 3rd floor? And are we allowed to wear cosplays for our performance (even if they don't relate to the song?) Thanks for clearing all this up for me! :) AB staff rocks!!

Now that I've seen the schedule, I'm starting to worry. I know this event didn't want to compete with JAM Project, but right now it's competing with the Attack on Titan Dub premiere. Not gonna lie, Attack on Titan is gonna pull in a LOT of people.

Just wondering, will the sign-ups be available pretty much as soon as karaoke opens on Friday, or later on? I have a personal photoshoot at 10:30 but I want to make sure I'm there to sign up for one of the at-con slots as soon as they're available!

If you have a version of your song, in a format that hooks to 3.5 stereo jack bring it.
CD Players, Mp3 Players and smart phones... Save us the time looking it up :)
This also makes sure it's the right version for you as well..

This is the last time I'm posting before the contest.
Good luck see you all at the con.
