October 4, 2014
By: O. J. Cunningham
It was madhouse at VNO's on Wednesday night.
Week three was the most enjoyable week yet.
Big crowd . . . CHECK!
Long list of performers . . . CHECK!
There were 15 contestants.
Idol Judge, Hairball John was impressed with both the turn-out and the talent level. "It had the feel of a true Idol competition with more than just a few contestants with a good chance of winning the $500 first place prize money'" Hairball John said.
Hairball John credited co-Judge Bruce LaFrance with raising the level of singing competition. "During the first two weeks, Bruce had relentlessly urged the contestants to "bring it" and it was great to see that some of them took his words to heart and really "brought it", said Hairball John.
Hairball John went on to say, "I am really looking forward to seeing who rises to the top in the remaining 5 weeks of competition."
Judge LaFrance liked the competitive level of the singing. "New contestants showed up," LaFrance said. "And that really forced some of the "regulars" to step up their game."
And as Bruce Lafrance would say, BRING IT . . . said organizer, Josh Sharrow.
Dave Green stopped into VNO's to see what all the hype was about. "We had a great time at VNO's for the Wednesday night Michigan Idol show," Green said. It was a great group of performers. So much Talent," Green added. "I'll be back again for the show."
Level 47 is providing sound for all of Michigan Idols at VNO's.
Judges were Shawn Doyle, Joe Gibson & Hairball John
