You may be perfect for the Bad Karaoke Contest if...
You have ever been told you can’t carry a tune in a bucket.
People often have to pull you away from karaoke bars.
When in a karaoke bar, do you hear the words, “Don’t give them a mic, please” often?
Does none of this stop you from getting up and singing karaoke?
If any of these are true you are who we are looking for!
With so much talent being displayed on Steemit, even the karaoke contests look like an episode of The Voice. We love to hear talented singers, but also feel that Steemit needs some CrAZy fun in the karaoke department too.
What we want to see is bad karaoke. The kind you find at the karaoke bar in town after the one good singer has moved away to make it big time. We want to see the off-key performers, the tequila operas, and soulful sonnets.
The Bad Karaoke Contest will be a contest for those who love to sing but aren’t about to quit their day jobs! We will be searching the entries of the contest for the best of the worst. This does not mean the worst singing.
The performance of the song will also be considered in the voting process. Just because you don’t have the best voice doesn’t mean you can’t perform. Pick your favorite songs and sing your heart out. We are not here to judge; at least not your singing!!!
The only rules are that this contest is not open for professional performances, and the video must be of the person entering the contest.
We do not encourage any illegal activities, although karaoke may be better while intoxicated, please do not record and post any illegal activity, or anything that will incriminate you or any other person in the video! Always sing safely, and don’t hurt yourself.

This week we are giving people an extra day to get the word out about the new contest.
