OnlinePopstar Seeks Judges!

Onlinepopstar.com, the world's ONLY international online karaoke contest website, is looking for judges for the next online contest.

As a judge, you will be added to the OnlinePopstar Judges Panel and receive your own Judges bio page, complete with your bio, pictures, music, and advertising links.

Please visit the OnlinePopstar Judges link for an example: http://onlinepopstar.com/judge4.htm

OnlinePopstar.com receives over 30,000 hits/day and has seen 500% growth in each month since it's launch in January, 2006. This is a great opportunity for anyone in the music industry, music education, or entertainment business to help aspiring artists reach their goals as well as to promote themselves and their services and/or products to a targeted audience of singers and music industry professionals.

OnlinePopstar judges are also given the option to have their own forum in the members-only CyberStars forum. You can post your articles, tips and advice here for our members and become known as an expert in your field.

DETAILS: As an OnlinePopstar judge, you will be required to spend approximately one hour per week scoring song submissions. You will be scoring only the top 5 singers each week. The scoring rubric is simple and is based on a 1-5 point scale on six different talent criteria. Your individual scores are never revealed to the contestants, just their collective scores from all judges are given. You are not expected to reveal your scores on any individual and are not expected to enter into any conversation with any contestants outside of the site.
Each OnlinePopstar judge hosts one edition of Inside The Singer's Studio, a live chat session on the site that allows the site members to chat live, ask questions and seek general advice.

REQUIREMENTS: OnlinePosptar is an industry leader in talent and our Judges Panel aims to be prestigious. To be chosen as an OnlinePopstar judge, you should work or have expertise in the music industry, have professional credentials or projects of merit that you have accomplished and have a great ear for vocal talent. You must be completely comfortable in scoring vocal competitors according to their level of talent; the contest is not a love-fest, we are looking for honest, accurate scoring from the judges panel.

Judge applicants will be asked to provide a brief bio/resume and references.

If you're interested in becoming an OnlinePopstar Judge, please send an email stating your interest, your bio details, references and a link to your website.

OnlinePopstar Launches PopstarKids Talent Search!

"School's out for summer!"

It's the jubilant war cry of kids everywhere that induces panic in the hearts of parents.

OnlinePopstar answers the call and is here with ready-made karaoke fun for kids of all ages!

With a leap of joy, we proudly announce the launch of PopstarKids at OnlinePopstar!

The PopstarKids section is now open and ready for your song submissions!

Any OnlinePopstar member with an All Access Pass can upload recordings of their children (ages 2-14) singing (or reciting a poem, etc.) and they'll be posted on the public site where anyone can go and listen! You can also upload a picture and a message to share with friends and family!

This is a great way for our members to share their love of karaoke and singing with their kids and also lets the kids have their own moment in the spotlight!

There is a message board on the PopstarKids page for family and friends to leave messages for our PopstarKids, too!

Kids who are so inclined are welcome to submit their songs (karaoke, a cappella, or originals) to the site and enter in the PopstarKids Contest!

Music is a wonderful creative outlet for people of all ages, children especially. Musically-involved kids are far less likely to become bored with free time on their hands as musical pursuits are completely creative and engaging!

Kids who pursue musical interests perform better in school and socially than those who don't and statistics show that children who pursue creative interests rarely encounter trouble with drugs, alcohol, and the law.

We hope that everyone takes advantage of the fun and excitement that is offered at PopstarKids and comes up with some great sounds to show off to the world!

We hope you all enjoy this new site feature!

Another OnlinePopstar Singer Wins The Cash Prize!

The talent at OnlinePopstar just gets better and better!

Bravo has James Lipton and Inside The Actor's Studio...

OnlinePopstar has Ken Pearson and Inside The Singer's Studio!

Esteemed OnlinePopstar Judge and Bluesprings Music Owner, Mr. Ken Pearson, graciously invited all OnlinePopstar members to participate in a discussion with him on Monday, May 1st, at 9:00 pm (EST) at CyberStars Chat.

Mr. Pearson has been involved in the music business all his life, performing on stage at the Grand Ole Opry at the age of 13. In the 60’s he was opening for such recording artists as SAM THE SHAM, JERRY LEE LEWIS, SAM COOK, OTIS REDDING, and others. Ken Pearson has played on stage, and with such diverse artists as Charlie Daniels, 38 Special, Cheap Trick, Wet Willie, The Bellamy Brothers and others.

Today, as the CEO of Bluesprings Music Group, Ken promotes artists and works closely with important decision makers from every major record label in America and Europe. As such, he has keen insight into the inner-workings of the music industry and was kind enough to share his wisdom and knowlegde with OnlinePopstar members during the 90 minute live chat.

OnlinePopstar members were given the unique and wonderful opportunity to ask questions about the music business.

The questions he answered pertained to ageism in the music industry, writing your own music, the specifics of press kits, and artist promotion and representation. Many of his answers dispelled long-held beliefs and myths that people have about making it in "the biz."

OnlinePopstar hopes to offer "Inside The Singer's Studio" on a monthly basis as part of it's expanding list of perks and benefits of membership.

OnlinePopstar Weekly Winner!

Linda (songbirdx) has been chosen by the Judges at this week's OnlinePopstar Winner!
Linda was astonished when given the news, since she never expected it!
It came as no surprise to many, however. Her stirring rendition of Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back To Me is truly award-worthy!
Linda was thrilled with her cash prize, and honored to be featured on the OnlinePopstar Home page with a link to her winning song.
Linda advances to the OP Grand Finals in July, where she will compete against the other weekly winners.
Check out her winning performance HERE.
Congrats to Linda!

OnlinePopstar In The News!

OnlinePopstar is making waves in the karaoke community, and making headlines along the way!

The website has been the subject of a feature article in The Northwest Karaoke and Live Entertainment Guide, published by Bayview Publishing in Seattle, WA. An OnlinePopstar press release is also featured on the NW Karaoke website at http://www.nwkaraokeguide.net/.
Even more exciting than this very significant regional spotlight is the phone call OnlinePopstar received from NBC (WCAU) in Philadelphia. Patty Hartman of NBC-Universal contacted the offices of OnlinePopstar to discuss her interest in doing a feature story on OnlinePopstar.com and the advent of the relatively new phenomenon of people becoming famous online.

OnlinePopstar.com is a niche website in that we are the only online karaoke contest to offer participation to karaoke clubs and venues worldwide. Club winners will have their winning performances posted online to compete with other winners from around the globe! The contest culminates in a head-to-head contest between the online CyberStar and the ClubStar champion.

Another novel feature is that OnlinePopstar contest judges are entertainment industry professionals, who all work with stars in the music business.

OnlinePopstar is exquisitely pleased with this recent development and we're so excited about the attention our members will receive as a result of this news coverage. We are also looking forward to a huge upsurge in contestant applications for the online karaoke contest.

More news will be forthcoming as the air-date approaches.

The Contest has begun and we have a winner!

The OnlinePopstar karaoke contest is underway and we are thrilled to have our first weekly winner!

cameronnat (Nathalie) has been chosen by our panel of judges as the best singer this week for her stirring rendition of ABBA's Super Trooper !

Nathalie takes home the winning cash prize and will advance to the OnlinePopstar Grand Championship in July, 2006!

OnlinePopstar Announces People's Choice Winner!

The OP People's Choice Contestants for March were announced on March 24th. Please be sure to vote for your favorite!

Give Some Lovin' To The King...You Must Be An Elvis Fan

Besides talent, what does it take for a performer to achieve the iconoclastic status of Superstar? Some might say a great agent, while those with a little wisdom will tell you that it's all in who you know. While these assets might propel a performer in the right direction, the deciding factor of fame is in the fans. Moreover, the frenzy of the fans is what differentiates a "flash-in-the-pan" for a true Mega-Star.

Each Superstars fans are a breed unto themselves. Any seasoned DJ can tell you who a person idolizes just by sizing them up for a minute or two. I most certainly have noticed certain shared qualities in the fans of many different Stars. As the site administrator of OnlinePopstar.com, an online karoake site, I listen to karaoke versions of songs by these legendary artists performed by some of their most avid fans!

We have an online singer's forum called CyberStars where a lot of discussion takes place on favorite singers, music styles, and general chit-chat. From these discussions I have gleaned some very keen, and often humorous, insight.

Below, I will profile the fans of Tom Jones, Jimmy Buffet, Elton John, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, and Bon Jovi. These guys are some heavy hitters in the music industry and have some of the most faithful fans in the world.

Let me preface my profiles by stating the obvious; the fans are as wonderful and as distinct as the artists themselves and my generalizations may be just that: general.

However, my years in the karaoke industry have allowed me to meet a great many very passionate music fans. Like everyone else, I can spot an Elvis fan at 50 yards away; unlike everyone else, I can also easily pick a Van Morrison fan out in any crowd (he's usually not quite sober, of Irish or Scottish descent, wearing a scarf.)

I will attempt a profile with a twist; not only will I attempt to cite some commonalities in the fans of these singers, I will also add what I believe would be their beverages of choice!

Tom Jones fans are in their 60s and have steadfastly clung to their 1970s culture. No slaves to current fashion, the women have meticulous bouffant hairstyles, wear ornate displays of cosmetics, and cleavage-baring two-piece pant suits. The men still sport their jaunty sideburns and their gold-chain entangled chest hair is displayed by the open-front silk shirts they wear. These fans have all been divorced 2.8 times. They are rarely wealthy, but never poor. The money that they should spend on family therapy is instead spent in Vegas. Tom Jones fans can be spotted sipping Seagram's 7 & 7.

Jimmy Buffet fans are in their 40s and 50s. They were Hippy Wannabes in the 70s, they bought the Free Love concept but lacked the idealism then that they now display so fervently in their numerous humanitarian works. Usually enjoying life from the upper-economic status, these fans have taken a laid-back approach to life and have surprisingly few wrinkles. Most Buffet fans are college educated. Many have become teachers and professors as they need to have full enjoyment of their summer vacations. Collectively known as "Parrotheads," these hawaiian shirted, flip-flopping kids can most always be seen with Margaritas in both hands.

Elton John has a lot of gay fans. He has many more straight fans. Sir Elton fans defy any demographic for age as his musical genious has garnered love from people since the early 70s. The next generation of his fans are listening to him sing during their Disney movies. His most avid fans are all rich and famous, which is a good thing as your average person really can't afford his concert tickets. Elton John fans drink anything from Chardonnay to chocolate milk in sippy cups. Elton John fanatics do NOT drink; they are working a 12 Step program.

Billy Joel fans are the blue-collar working-class realists. In their 30s and 40s, his fans relate to his humble beginnings and, like him, they are tough on the outside with hearts of buttah. No matter what socio-economic status, Joel fans are all down-to-earth; it ain't pretty, but it's real. You can spot Billy Joel fans in a crowd wearing baggy pants,t-shirts, and baseball caps. If the crowd is devoid of Joel fans, it's because it's a beautiful boating day and they're all out on the water. Joel fans prefer Long Island Iced Tea.

Bruce Springsteen fans are the blue-collar working-class dreamers. Also in their 30s and 40s, Springsteen fans are idealists. They believe that dreams come true and, despite quiet inferiority complexes, tend to be tenacious in whatever they do. They very rarely divorce. Many are self-employed. Springsteen fans tend to be quiet loners until they gather at one of his frenzied concerts; this is when their collective pain-spattered idealism erupts into cataclysmic joy in the emotional abandon that is reflected from their hero. All Bruce Springsteen fans can be spotted wearing too-tight Levis with boots. The obvious choice of beverage is a Bud.

Bon Jovi fans are female. They are those 30-something girls who are stuck in the 80s; the crowning glory of their tanning booth tone is their Frost-N-Tip hair, teased out to glorious heights and secured with 16 ounces of Aqua-Net hairspray. Most of his fans smoke cigarettes and chew gum at the same time. Bon Jovi fans believe his lyrics and are modern-day Cinderellas, waiting for their Cowboy to ride in on his steel horse and rescue them from a never-ending adolescense. They tend to be overly-friendly touchy-feely type people; superficially nice, but never mean-spirited. A Bon Jovi fan will always try to get a guy to buy her a Fuzzy Navel.

There you have it. A concise fan profile of some very legendary artists. I have presented my thoughts and ideas as would any decent Billy Joel fan; I gotta tell it like it is!

If anyone reads this and wants to yell at me, come on over to CyberStars. I'm tough, I can take it. In any event, come visit me at OnlinePopstar.com for a rockin' good time!

Rock Star II - Audition Experience

Rock Star II - The Series is holding Auditions during the month of March for the next Rock Star to be aired the Summer of 2006 on CBS.

I attended the second audition at T.T. The Bear's in Boston as moral support for my own personal Rock Star, my main squeeze, my man.

The auditions were to go from 10:00-4:00 and so we planned to arrive just after noon. We got there around 1:00 and took our places at the end of the line.

Let me tell you, the Boston auditioners had to be the most driven, tenacious, and toughest people in the world to stand outside in frigid conditions with wind like knife blades for over 2 hours just for a 60 second chance for stardom!

After an hour and a half we were the next group of 10 to be let in! Oh joy, oh HEAT! To my utter horror, we were told that ONLY auditioners were allowed in the place, moral support people were not!

Thank God for the warm and cozy coffee shop across the street from TT's! It was here that another "moral support reject" and I jacked ourselves up on coffee for the next hour and a half waiting for our Stars to complete their auditions.

Here's the skinny on the audition process:
Be prepared to sing at least three songs, but never will you get the opportunity to do that. You will be given approximately 1 minute to do your thing. You can go a cappella (recommend this!) or bring your karoake disc, musical instrument, or an accompainist.
Once you get into the audition area, someone will take your picture with a digital camera, you'll be given an envelope with your contestant number on it, and you'll wait your turn...
Next, you'll be called...The producer will tell you to "Rock It!" and so you will.
Your audition will be videotaped, to be watched later by the producers. This fact may give you some solace when you realize that your audition isn't getting a lot of attention from the judges. (Some folks reported that the judges were walking in and out of the room, on the phone, doodling, fidgeting, and yawning!)

The day after the auditions is when the "powers that be" will give your audition tapes a LOOK-SEE. This is when they decide who will be called in for a "call-back" the next day. In Boston, I overheard one of the production managers talking with the owners of the coffee shop that they'd be back on Sunday, 03/05 from 12-4 doing auditions (the call-backs!)

My educated guess is that if you don't hear from anyone by, say, 11:30 p.m. on the day after your audition, you're probably not going to...but, hey, who am I to say? I'm just a moral support person.

So, we wait. ...tick tick tick tick tick...

It's a really fun site, and just as I'd envisioned, people are really enjoying themselves at OnlinePopstar. The new Members-Only forum, CyberStars is excellent, too!

Web promotion: O.J.T.-ing it!

Getting the word out about the new website is harder than I thought; actually, I didn't give it much thought.

I spent sooo much time and effort to learn to design the site, then spent hours building it, plotting it out, and tweaking it... There! "I built it and they will come," was my happy final thought.

HA! My simplistic approach was very soon to be revealed to me as a flight of blind ignorance. Since that time (3 long months ago) I have been diligently promoting OnlinePopstar, ever cautious of crossing the line from sharing information over to the "dark side" of spamming innocent people! What is okay for informational purposes on one site is heartily frowned upon elsewhere. No one has yelled at me yet, and I'm diplomatically charging ahead to get the word out that OnlinePopstar is alive and well and, well, an itsy bit lonely.

I mean, site visits have risen over 300% in the last 3 months; that's good, isn't it? I really wish that I knew for sure what to look for in regard to successful website growth. If anyone can tell me what constitutes average, above average, or (ack!) sluggish website progress, please do tell. You'll have a very eager and attentive listener in me!

So, I've found yet another outlet for shameless self-promotion. If you'd like to see my crafty little ads on AdPost.com, please click on the link below. If not to check out my ads, you really should see this site, anyhow. It's an amazing world-wide site where you can post FREE classified ads in myriad categories to bargain hunters everywhere.

OnlinePopstar Membership Explosion!

WOWeeeee!

Who'd have thought this would happen? I am so very delighted to report that OnlinePopstar is seeing explosive growth in Membership and traffic has grown by 300% each month since November!

OnlinePopstar has over 60 Members and those wonderfully talented CyberStars have uploaded over 35 songs to our site.

This is way more exciting and fun than I could have dreamed and I am absolutely thrilled. Everyone loves the site and they're getting acquainted in our forums. What a great bunch of people!

I am so happy that I've decided to extend our FREE song upload promotion, right through until the first Club Contest is announced. So, if anyone out there likes to sing and wants to get in on the fun and excitement (and maybe some prize moolah, too!) they should zip right over to OnlinePopstar.com and Sign up!
