Joey Fatone Hosts, and Judges Include Singing Superstar Carnie Wilson, Music Journalist Joe Levy and 2009 Karaoke Champion Brian Scott
Did you know that some of America's biggest singing sensations started with karaoke? Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and others began that way. So who will be the next singer to leap from the karaoke circuit to superstardom?
"Karaoke Battle U.S.A." shines the spotlight on the best karaoke singers across the country in six one-hour episodes hosted by Joey Fatone (*NSYNC, "Dancing w/the Stars").
Fatone and a judging panel that includes singer/songwriter and TV host Carnie Wilson, music journalist Joe Levy (Maxim, Rolling Stone) and 2009 National Karaoke Champion Brian Scott will travel to the regional competitions, semi-finals and finals, along with officials from the pre-eminent Karaoke World Championships USA organization, which crowns two U.S. champs each year.
As part of "Karaoke Battle U.S.A.", the best male and female performers at each regional competition will move on to Los Angeles where they will square off for the titles of King and Queen of Karaoke. In addition to those bragging rights, winners will also receive a prize package that includes a Hollywood Records recording contract and a trip to compete at the Karaoke World Championships in Ireland later this year.
