The Bader UK Karaoke Challenge Karaoke Info is pleased to promote this worthwhile charity event in aid of The Douglas Bader Foundation. 15 finalists will take part in The Grand Final to be held in Fes - Morocco in December 4th - 7th. The heats have already started but there is still plenty of time to get involved, if you think you know of a venue that would be interested or you would like to know where the heats are please contact Roy ukkaraokeking@yahoo.co.uk. The idea about the competition is to make it fun and to raise much needed cash for The Douglas Bader Foundation. We are looking for approx 60 venues to run a series of heats and have the house final by September. Check out the The Bader UK Karaoke Challenge room for latest details. The rules of the Competition are as follows: The way the winners from each heat are picked are as follows. There are 2 judging methods.The first way is the audience choice. This is how the money is raised, it is very straight forward £1 equals 1 vote. So the singer that raises the most money go through to the next round. The second method is the best singer based on ability, who will be chosen by a judge. This system will apply up to the semi final. Each House Final will produce 4 winners, 2 that are chosen by audience and 2 by the judge. Then the regional/quarter final where we break the 60 venues down to 20. Each venue will have 12 singers where 2 will chosen. Creating 40 semi finalists The 15 finalist will then be selected from the singers that attend the semi-final in Central London.
