{UPDATE #1} LIME Barbados Karaoke Championship – First Two for Big Cash Chosen
Round one of the LIME Barbados Karaoke Championship started last Friday with the first two qualifiers for Eliminations Rounds being chosen. With only one point separating them Judith Alexander and Shelly Chase sang their way closer to the big cash prize of $5,000.
(L to R) Janelle R. Walcott - Event Coordinator and MC, with Judith Alexander who's 1st Place qualifier.
Chosen from a field of twenty contestants, Alexander of Bush Hall, St. Michael sang an expressive and crowd pleasing rendition of Tammy Wynette’s Stand by Your Man. Chase delivered Jennifer Hudson’s, ‘One Night Only’ with plenty passion, singing the entire song from memory. This Husbands St. James resident ensured she needed one night only to secure her place in the Elimination Round.
An eager crowd gathered inside and outside Braddies Bar, every window and door filled with faces peering in creating an exciting atmosphere. People from all corners of Barbados gathered at this Dover Christ Church Bar and Restaurant to see who would be first to jump in the ring for this vocal battle.
Within the coming weeks, the first (20) twenty people will be registered at Braddies Bar on Friday nights between 7:00 pm and 9:30 pm. More information can be found on the website www.barbadoskaraoke.com or the facebook page Barbados Karaoke Championship.
