All - New Videoke Site

Calling all videoke fans!

I'd like to invite you all to check out the all-new OP Videoke site!

http://onlinepopstarvideoke.magnify.net/


It's been re-designed (looks pretty snazzy!) and now has two categories:

  1. Videoke Performance - This category is for singers to post their live performances in, singing, playing instruments, live on stage, or just in front of the web cam.
  2. Videoke Slideshow - This category is for singers who create slideshows to accompany their songs.

Each month, we will have one winner from each category, who will win a one-month free All Access Pass to OnlinePopstar.

There are a great many cool features to:

  • rate videos
  • upload your karaoke videos
  • create video playlists
  • link your videos from other sites
  • grab widgets to post on your pages, websites, and blogs
  • email your favorite videos to friends

And if you're a real Videoke/talent expert, feel free to leave a review! Comments can be posted and Top Reviewers are featured on the site!

If you haven't already, please sign-up on the Videoke page and start reviewing and scoring all the great talent!

The winners will be announced on the first day of each month!

We LOVE your feedback! Please send any comments, suggestions, and ideas to us via EMAIL.

Break a leg, Baby!

Online Popstar...When You Wish To BE A Star!: OnlinePopstar Seeks Judges!

Online Popstar...When You Wish To BE A Star!: OnlinePopstar Seeks Judges!

Still looking to add more fabulous industry members to our fantastic panel!

Onlinepopstar.com, the world's ONLY international online karaoke contest website, is looking for judges for the online talent 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/OurJudges.htm

OnlinePopstar.com receives over 70,000 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. CyberStars is a rapidly-growing social networking community of karaoke lovers, singers, and fans. Here, you will also receive your own web page. 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 month scoring song submissions. You will be scoring only the top 5 singers each month. 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: OnlinePopstar 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 (if you have one.)

Become part of something GREAT!

New OP Judge - MusicGorilla.com!

With the addition of MusicGorilla.com, OnlinePopstar has added another amazing entertainment industry judge to the OP Judges Panel!







Music Gorilla is a complementary website that showcases aspiring artists to hundreds of music labels, A&R reps, and studios. With their solid contacts deep within the fields of entertainment and industry, Music Gorilla is able to guarantee their site members to be heard by the movers and shakers in "the biz" who can make an enormous impact on the careers of up and coming superstars!



Industry members are so impressed with MusicGorilla that they will fly out to listen to live MusicGorilla showcases and artist-member gigs!



The heart and soul of MusicGorilla are:
  • ALEXIA HELFAND
  • LAWRENCE ERLICHMAN
  • BETH MITCHELL
  • FRED BLACK

These fine folks are cutting-edge and passionate about what they do. The passion at MusicGorilla is to put aspiring artists directly in the line of fire; right in the center scope of music industry professionals who are looking to sign new acts, publish new music, produce music videos, and place new talent in tv, movies, and even video games!


Despite the recent deals that they have gotten for new artists such as: Milhouse, Ghost In The Machine, Kevin Schaeilling, Big Wolf Pappa, Shelley Laine, and Fell Boyzs, MusicGorilla takes NO cut in any deal!


That's right. As a MusicGorilla member, your deal is the one you strike with the Industry Members at MG. MusicGorilla claims no "finder's fee" for either it's Artist Members or it's Industry Members. It is simply the most innovative and ground-breaking opportunity for aspiring artists on the web!


Because they believe that the world's "next big deal" is going to be found in the wealth of unsigned talent on the web, MusicGorilla is extending it's expertise to the OnlinePopstar Worldwide Online Karaoke/Talent Contest.

As members of the OP Panel of Judges, MusicGorilla will apply the same intuitive insight into true talent that they do for the music industry. Each month, they will listen to the OnlinePopstar TOP 5 singers and score them on the basis of talent, voice, style, and overall entertainment value.


Additionally, MusicGorilla.com will sponsor one of the prizes to be won in the OnlinePopstar Grand Finals in October, 2007! In addition to the other cash and prizes, this season's OP Grand Finalist will also win a one-month FREE MusicGorilla membership! With this, the winner can submit their original song (another great OnlinePopstar Finals prize!) to MusicGorilla.com and be guaranteed that an Industry Member will listen to their submission!


As an added bonus, all OnlinePopstar Members can now enjoy a special 10% discount on membership at MusicGorilla.

The benefits of OnlinePopstar membership are growing by the day!

All-New CyberStars! It's stunning.

In March, 2007, we officially launched the brand-new OnlinePopstar members-only site, CyberStars!



The all-new CyberStars is an amazing, interactive social networking site (much like MySpace) where OP members can have their own web pages, complete with video uploads, their own mp3 players, and comments sections.
The great thing is, now that OnlinePopstars can easily interact together, the community is taking off!


Another cool thing is that it's so easy to share your web pages with anyone on the internet, because all OnlinePopstar members get their own URL! Check these out:


That's just a small example of what you can do with your very own web page at OnlinePopstar!


Other cool new features include:


  • Blogs

  • Photo Gallery

  • Member Ratings

  • Live Chat

  • IM

  • MP3 Players

  • Quizzes (take & create)

  • Polls (create & answer)

  • Events Calender

  • Guest Books

  • Friend Invites

  • Cool new forum

  • ...and more!

People really love the new CyberStars site and OnlinePopstar has welcomed over 900 new members just since it's launch on March 22!
