This event I host is more of a fun time rather than a serious contest...we have some semi pro singers come in but we give them a handicap similar to golf so even the usual cast of characters get a chance to win ...money isn't a big thing but we run it similar to American Idol ..usually the judges for the night have open bar so I'm the only sober guy in the place...fun event and the bar makes some money rarely any probs I usually bring vocals up front so you can distinguish between the vocals and back tracks...all in all a great event..
