| From the Where2sing.com forum: A DIFFERENT KARAOKE COMP
My target contestant-pool:
(1) Professionals, semi-professionals and retired professionals who do not otherwise qualify for other singing comps.
(2) Professionals, semi-professionals and retired professionals who see this as a chance for some further exposure, and a good chance to win some money along the way.
(3) Performers who don’t normally compete at other comps because of perceived bias, and see this as something different (as EVERYTHING is made transparent to all, and they all participate in some collective decision making at the outset too)
(4) “Real” performers who excel in several genres / styles.
(5) Performers who see this as an “easier” comp : Don’t have to win Venue Heats to get into a Venue Final to compete again to be a Venue Winner, and then, as with some comps then have to compete further with other Venue Winners to be judged a State Representative, then compete further still at a National Level : This is one comp, one shot, competing against 49 other contestants.
(6) Lead singers of local bands trying out as a solo artiste.
(7) Affluent “baby-boomers” wanting to surprise friends and family with their “hidden talent” by inviting them all to a night out and then holding centre stage for 30 minutes or so.
(8) Participants of the “Weekend Warriors” program looking for yet another avenue to showcase their passion ($250 is what they pay too under that program).
(9) Pushy parents / grand-parents and spouses of wannabes.

PS: Once again thanks for all your feedback. There are only 2 responses thus far at the Karaoke Club Australia site – both positive, both from singers who are interested – one interstater who even contemplates travelling to Melbourne for it!
