Hard Luck Bar’s karaoke contestants line up hoping to get
the news they’ve been waiting for after a spirited performance
were Karen, Galen,
Annette, Frank,
Daddy Rich, Phil,
Justin, Mike, and local
legend, Alabama,
who is a beloved mentor
to many of the
area’s best karaoke
singers.
Everybody was
all warmed up and
itching to take the
stage. Several judges
scattered around the room sat at the ready.
The singers would be judged primarily on
their vocal ability, of course, but also on audience
reaction and interaction, song selection
and knowledge, appearance, stage presence,
and something new, whether or not they are
a regular patron of the bar.
Anyone considered to be a regular patron,
automatically gets a ten-point boost,
which could easily push them over the top,
and into the winner’s position. There were no
complaints from the traveling competitors,
they knew they would have to rise to the
challenge and simply overcome the deficit.
And a couple of them did just that!
One by one, the chosen nine turned in
a fabulous performance they hoped worthy
of being selected to receive the five-hundred
dollar prize. While the judges collaborated
in the corner, Mika, Blue, and Andrea filled
the bar with their booty-shakin’ version of
Call Tyrone.
Everybody was movin’ and groovin’
