Wow this one seems to be a fantastic show as well! Thanks for sharing the prize detials may be now I might make an effort for this one! I am digging this useful information: http://digg.com/users/choicefreedom20/history
Maybe the freehold partnership invest in a better sound system so it is fair for all who participate in this contest
I think the judges were mistaken on this one!!
Freehold should invest in a good sound system so these kids who enter this contest every year have a chance to really be heard clearly.
That sounds like a really neat idea. A small little contest, because we all know how difficult it is to actually get on the show “American Idol”.
I hope it must be a good show and kids must take active participation in this kind of shows. Good to know about American Idol.

Interesting way to promote musical talents. Our local schools have done similar types of contests for the show choirs in the area and its been a big draw and has allow the kids an opportunity to do something outside of their normal performances.
