Boy sure hope they are total legal. Talk about putting a target on your back. |

That is an awfully big library, but I'm more interested in the league concept. |

I've heard of this "Karaoke Leagues" thing quite some time ago. Although the article mentioned NY (where I am from), I have never seen or heard of it being done here. |

Competition wise - If I can't time it with a stop watch or measure it with a tape I don't participate. Subjectively judged events aren't worth the headaches, anger, and inevitable hurt feelings over the results. |

I like the singers in costume idea - but yes the judging part can be a pain and I wonder if there's prize money, etc. |

So any contest at a fair (ie quilting, flower growing, biggest fruits, anything that CAN be judged on, etc....) is bad since they are judged.

So any contest at a fair (ie quilting, flower growing, biggest fruits, anything that CAN be judged on, etc....) is bad since they are judged.Biggest fruits would support empirical measurement so that one would fly in my book. 8>) I could almost support a "Country King & Queen" or a "Heavy Metal God" type of contest, anything where people are competing in a similar category. Having a Harry Belafonte go up against an Aerosmith or a latin Rumba is unjudgeable as far as I'm concerned. Can you honestly say that the Best Dog wins Best of Show at Westminster every year? Hell no. Big money is involved and skews everything to the point where even if it was possible to compare the breeds against each other, the actual rankings would have little to do with the final outcome. Biggest turnoff is the criteria or lack of usually used to judge a subjective event. Throw in the politics, the "friends" vote, and the most drinks purchased scores higher, and the whole thing is a fiasco right from the get go. |
