They spoke about how people like to be involved with helping up &amp;amp; coming artists &amp;amp; being apart of that.I've been very excited to see such reactions since I've released the "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;fiZ&lt;/span&gt;" CD. So it's a very exciting time for me indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A fan recently told me how he wished my studio tracks were available so he could play his own version of drums on them...I found this very interesting...after I spoke with him an idea came swarming in my head...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;fiZ&lt;/span&gt; Karaoke Contest " . Basically,...I'm going to have a karaoke version of  "This Is It" available for people to download . They make their own version of "This Is It" and upload it on www.youtube.com .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I'm going to get big sponsors involved &amp;amp; have some great &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;giveaways&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;for instance ,perhaps...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Grand Prize Winner would receive a Gibson LesPaul or a gift certificate from Sam Ash or Guitar Center, The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;fiZ&lt;/span&gt; Karaoke Contest 1st place award,&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;fiZ&lt;/span&gt; Gift Set(see my store http://fizband.com/store/ ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2nd price an Ibanez acoustic guitar signed by me &amp;amp; the fiZ gift set&lt;br /&gt; 3rd Prize The fiZ Gist Set...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was thinking of getting a radio station to be one of the sponsors ..like 95.5FM ... having it where the winner would have their version played on the radio...Their video on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;fiZTV&lt;/span&gt; ...and having all the runners up on there too...perhaps even having links to everyone that entered videos on my website too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was going to get judges... for instance....maybe Fingers from WBAB and some others OR I'm wondering if it should be ...whomever gets the highest ranking on You Tube....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are allot of reasons why I like this contest&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. It's very family orientated. Something the whole family can enjoy together...I've been witnessing this more &amp;amp; more everyday as I have fans that are moms that play the "fiZ" CD with their kids...and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;they're&lt;/span&gt; all loving it. Even what some people thought was a questionable demographic,...teenagers...teenage boys &amp;amp; girls are loving this CD too...I knew this CD could &amp;amp; would do that...something for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. It creates an interactive,friendly &amp;amp; loving fiZ community ...exactly what most&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt; fiZ&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;fanZ&lt;/span&gt; are....nice people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. It's fun &amp;amp; inspiring for people to be seen singing &amp;amp; performing music....after all "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;everyone&lt;/span&gt; is a star".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. It just sits nicely with my vision of where I see myself in music.Helping &amp;amp; inspiring others to have fun &amp;amp; follow their dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have other ideas regarding this but in the meantime I'm curious to know your feedback. Perhaps someone reading this would like to get involved...be a sponsor...whatever you think might be able contribute...I would greatly appreciate it.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your continued support in my &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;career&lt;/span&gt;...I hope to see you all at a show real soon...until then...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;peace.luv.music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;fiZ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1844941844078786664-3311170091263983550?l=fizband.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fizband.blogspot.com/feeds/3311170091263983550/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fizband.blogspot.com/2009/08/im-working-on-fiz-karaoke-contest-fiz.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1844941844078786664/posts/default/3311170091263983550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1844941844078786664/posts/default/3311170091263983550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fizband.blogspot.com/2009/08/im-working-on-fiz-karaoke-contest-fiz.html' title='I&apos;m working on &quot; The fiZ Karaoke Contest &quot; , fiZ fans input is most welcomed'/><author><name>fiZ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11524852447314387461</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5imwmspKIf0/SeDAj3IqtWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/rtvGWX9ret4/S220/FizComp2+(1).JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844941844078786664.post-3096103993720815365</id><published>2009-05-19T07:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-19T07:24:34.979-07:00</updated><title type='text'>fiZ @  Sunken Meadow Beach this Wed May 20th ...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5imwmspKIf0/ShLAZzs9uVI/AAAAAAAAAAw/hhgkOw9X_yA/s1600-h/FizFront+small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 250px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5imwmspKIf0/ShLAZzs9uVI/AAAAAAAAAAw/hhgkOw9X_yA/s320/FizFront+small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337540057995524434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;fiZ @ Sunken Meadow Beach May 20th 6-9PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;And every other Wednesday after until the season ends.I highly recommend you bringing yourself,or family and friends to this Beach...it's beautiful....and it's FREE!
