Julie, great photos and coverage. we luv mybaycity

Talk about stuffing the ballot box...
Debbie Kirkbride didn't even perform on the 9th and she got 11 votes????
This online/in house voting is ridiculous...
Obviously, more of a popularity contest...or should I say, skewing the totals in someones favor. This voting has totally taken on a life of its own...
What a joke!

Hey Sillie --> Lighten up, babe. The top vote-getters are the best singers & entertainers. Just because your guy ain't winning the vote is no reason to get all crabby.

Well Green dog...
I guess you must think the votes should be for someone who did not perform...Mystery performance...
Oh and by the way...I know 2 people that voted for Rex and they only tallied one vote...I personally looked at the paper ballots...and I am sure that she voted for herself also...
What a farce!
Once again, intelligence strikes in Bay City...
Lets face it, the winner is probably already determined and has been for weeks now.
They picked 5 finalists in June to complete the 15 for the finals here in July...
There were only 5 "new people" that were actually competing the last 4 weeks...HA HA HA
No one got cut, so it was a given.
During that last 4 weeks, the rest of the performers were already finalists, no new blood...
Now that's a Surprise!

Just an fyi . . . Julie, Marlo and I went table to table picking up ballots after the competition at Stables. We only counted what we picked up or what was turned in to us.

I personally dont think they've already picked a winner. Why would they? I think this competition is a great chance for young singers to get some stage time. And there's plenty of young singers to go around.

Who cares if it's rigged, it's not like it will be a life changing experience for the winner. It's a local karaoke competiton, more for laughs than anything.

Hey Badass, I don't even have Geno in my top 5. He's a great harmonica player. But everybody doesnt like harmonica. Last lady harmonica player got really mad too when she didnt make finals.

GreenDog your top5 don't mean nothing anyways your probly a no talent Bum anyways so keep your opinons to your self and thanks for the thing bout me being a great harmonica player.

Joe DiPiero clearly has the best voice, probably the most talented of the bunch - Yet he's voted near the bottom. Hope the judges recognize this...

Alto is clearly the best performer, knows how to work a crowd and the stage.

Drew is "All SHOW and no GO". Maybe he shoud be in a hair contest instead!

All the rest I think are quite mediocre, again I think the two bog standouts here are Joe and Alto.

Just my humble opinion - Good luck Joe, I don't know you but I think you have a lot of potential. Hope the judges see this as well.

I thought DiPiero was the best for a long time too. But last week, he did real shabby on "Low Places" Bummer!

Alto and Joe are definatly not the best. Alto is a great preformer, but he has no special voice. He was screeching when he sang on Mowtown night. Joe is even worse, he mumbles!
