Park Place Idol returns

NORWICH – With the return of the Fox Broadcasting’s hugely popular American Idol – now in its tenth season – it’s no surprise the Park Place Restaurant and Lounge picked this as the perfect time to announce its second annual ‘Idol’ competition. And like the televised vocal competition – which found new additions Steven Tyler, of Aerosmith fame, and Jennifer Lopez joining long-time judge Randy Jackson – this year’s Park Place Idol will feature a new twist, according to Celebration Creations owner and event coordinator Kerri Green.
“Last year was the first time we attempted this competition in Norwich and we really didn’t know how many singers we would have lined up,” stated Green. “Now that we know there is so much talent in the area and considering the great response we had last time, we decided to make this year’s Idol competition an elimination contest.”
Unlike last year’s competition – in which two separate groups of contestants competed for a chance to perform in the final round – all those who register for the second annual Park Place Idol will compete in round one and face elimination, reported Green. Round two of the competition will narrow the field down to its top ten prior to the third and final round.
Those interested in participating in Park Place Idol must register no later than Feb.16, added Green. Rounds one and two of the competition will kick off at 9 p.m. on Feb. 19 and 26 respectively, with the final round taking place at 9 p.m. on March 5.
“Since this year’s competition will be held elimination-style, we won’t be accepting any late entries,” said Green. “There will be a $10 fee to enter the contest and cash prizes totaling over $500 will be awarded at the end.”
In addition, the vocalist named as this year’s Park Place Idol will win a cruise vacation, announced Green.
“We’re also looking for some local judges,” stated Green. “If anyone has a background in music or performs in a local band, we would welcome their experience and professional opinion.”
Anyone interested in judging must be available for all three dates of the competition and must contact Green directly.
Those wishing to register for the contest may do so online at www.celebration-creations.net or pick up an entry form at Park Place Restaurant and Lounge, 7-9 East Park Place, or Fred’s Inn Restaurant and Lodging, Route 12 south of Norwich. For more information contact Kerri Green at 267-8541.
