The Aracari Resort is bringing to the platter its fourth annual karaoke competition – 3 separate competitions are held annually – that will see seasoned and new amateur singers taking centre stage. The competition kicked off at the Aracari Resort at Versailles, West Bank Demerara last evening and will run for one month.
However, with the long list of participants, an elimination round will be held every Thursday leading up to the grand finale on February 16. This year will see an explosion of vocals and the competition is expected to draw a huge audience.
During the competition, all eyes and ears will be on Damion Apple, Alex Wayne and Laushana Walters who are versed in the trade. Wayne, who entered the competition for the first time, is expected to create quite a stir. He and Apple are presently sparking fire at each other and this undoubted has created some rivalry.
While the entrance fee for the competition is $1000, the eventual winner will take home $50,000 and a trophy while the second and third place finishers will cart off trophies, couples dinners, and gym and pool membership.
Contestants will be judged on diction, presentation, choreography and crowd response. As such, they are urged to bring out their supporters in their numbers.
Interested persons are urged to call the organiser on telephone number 603-1893 for registration and more information. The competition is strictly for amateur singers.
No professional singers or recording artistes are allowed to participate.
