Why do you want to be a judge? I love hearing people sing. I love music. I love Tengaged Karaoke Idol! I've been a contestant a few times and would love to cross over to the other side of the competition and hear all the wonderful talent this site has to offer.
What makes you think you will be a good judge? Each time I have been a contestant, I have made the finals and most recently won the competition. I feel like I will know not just how to judge contestants, but also how to mentor them and find things they are comfortable doing in order to showcase their strong points and help build their confidence.
What kind of judge will you be? A constructive judge. I think every single performance will shine in it's own way. I'll never be overly mean or nasty to contestants, I'll be constructive and fair to every act. It's very important that the judges aren't too harsh on people as that will effect their confidence, so I believe my comments would help acts realise their strong points and let them have more belief in themselves.
What kind of music do you like? I don't have a particularly type that I listen to. Jazz to pop to hip hop to rock - it's all brilliant. If I connect with a song, I connect with it, no matter what style of music that is.
Do you have any theme suggestions? I would LOVE a rock week. It would be fun, upbeat and challenging. There's so much choice for rock songs. I also like the idea of a "Unplugged" performance, where artists have to strip back the song to it's roots and push the meaning, rather than the production, of the song.
Will you be able to post comments at least once a week? Of course :)
What days of the week would you be able to listen, comment, and rank the contestants' recordings? Any day is fine with me. Tell me the day, and I'll do it then!
