Wow, Michelle, your revelations are amazing. If only someone had told me before I posted that a bar was a business! I thank Obvious Guy for helping me realize this wonderful notion! Of course a bar is a business, that does not mean they have to rip people off. In the old days you did not have this crap with having to check if a business was running a scam. I live in Ohio and you live in Oklahoma, you don't have to deal with the drugged out trash that we do in this hillbilly state. Of course the judges are not see through, but they are invisible to the audience because no one knows who they are, sometimes they told who they were, sometimes they did not, because they knew they were making crooked decisions and 'judging' results. Again, a karaoke contest is based on talent, and this was not, so it should be called a lottery, a heist, a fraud, and many other things. If my friend is so talented then why don't they go somewhere else more realistic? They did. And I will also not go to any businesses in this area that runs karaoke contests anymore.

OK Brandon, lets go over some of your report , which i had to double check the location of because after reading half i thought for sure it would be Tupper Lake! 1) "You say they are making people bring business into the bar " You do realize this is a business and the idea is they make a profit ? 2)You Say " bribe the contestants to do the advertising for them." Actually im sure thats their plan . You see for a business to run a promotion like this , they hope that the resulting word of mouth advertising will make them a profit , bring in more customers etc , its a funny concept ,i know . 3)You Say "ghost contestants and invisible judges" Well they should end the karaoke contest and just advertise it as a haunted bar , im sure more people would come to see ghosts and invisible people than liquered up wanna be singers ! Are you sure they are invisible judges or maybe you had just one too many ? It sounds like a fun little promotion ran by a club to bring in to help sagging business ,and your taking it way too serious , if your friend is indeed so talented , put your money where your mouth is ,pay his/her way to try out for a REAL idol show !
