Helpful Tips

Contestants Should Pre-Register For The Qualifiers.

Singers who wish to audition for one of the three final rounds of Angola Idol 2011 should PRE-REGISTER. Those of you who do so prior to 12:00 p.m. on April 29 and May 6 will NOT have to pay the $5.00 admission fee.

Show Up At Least One Hour Before Showtime

Angola Idol is a very popular event. You should show up with your entourage at least one hour before showtime to get a seat, prepare yourself to perform, verify your disc will play to avoid delaying the show and become familiar with the stage and show notes for the evening. Note: You MUST arrive no later than 7:00 p.m. if you intend to compete, unless prior arrangements have been made.

If You Make The "Finals" You Will Be Performing With the Live Band URBAN LEGEND...

All finalists will be performing with URBAN LEGEND as part of the Angola Idol Finals. This is in addition to performing at least one song with karaoke accompaniment.

TV Monitors With Lyrics Will Be Provided During The Two Qualifying Rounds Only.

We do not recommend that you use the TV's to remember they lyrics to your song. They cut down on your overall performance impression and will NOT be available after the first two qualifying rounds.

Dress For The Part

Pick a song that suits you. Wear clothing that fits your act, and use the whole stage. All of this will be reflected in the score the judges will give you.

Don't Bring Burned Discs

There is no guarantee that burned discs will play on our player. Even if they've played once, that doesn't mean they will again.
