OnlinePopstar.com is live!

What started as a nifty idea exactly one year ago, has emerged from the mist of promise and is now a real, tangible, living breathing entity! The only thing I can equate this experience to is pregnancy and childbirth, oddly enough. Now, just like a mother with a newborn child, I am up all hours of the night nurturing my needy little creation and preparing it for life out on it's own; on the World Wide Web!

Check it out and tell me how cute you think it is: http://onlinepopstar.com

The idea to create a website that would sponsor a Worldwide karaoke competition was a fanciful one, to say the least. To allow users to post their songs on the website for the world to hear and allow members to VOTE for their favorite; well it just sounded too good to be true. The idea, grew, evolved and became! I was driven by a passion for karaoke, a secret crush on reality programming, and an insatiable need to do what has not been done before.

The fact that I then knew nothing about web design, codes, software, scripting, et al did not deter me. Just like when I was going to have my first baby and read a mountain of child development books, I scoured the web for all the info I would need to accomplish my dream! And, just as my poor first child has been a guinea pig, so it is with OnlinePopstar...

I'll just have to wait for some feedback and comments to come along to give me something to go on. But, so far, I really love it! We have members signing up everyday and the day that the first contest begins will be like every Christmas and Birthday party all lumped together!
