Universal Orlando’s newest nightclub, CityWalk’s Rising Star, opened on March 21, 2008, at Universal CityWalk. The club showcases karaoke with a twist – performing guests are introduced to the audience by an emcee and sing with a full live band and back-up singers! State-of-the-art flat panel monitors and amplifiers throughout the club highlighteach performer and their song lyrics.
In celebration of the club’s opening, Universal Orlando Resort also introduces the CityWalk’s Rising Star Top 10 Karaoke Challenge, a contest that searched for the best karaoke artists in the area. If you think you have what it takes, there will be four opportunities to impress the judges – March 26 and 28, and April 2 and 4, 2008. Guests who would like to participate in the CityWalk’s Rising Star Top 10 Karaoke Challenge will be asked to fill out and submit an entry form, and a raffle will decide each night’s contestants. Finalists will be chosen based on scoring by a three-judge panel, as well as audience applause, with performers evaluated on their star quality, vocal talent and stage presence. The top 10 performers will receive a prize package, including a Universal Two-Park Annual Pass, annual CityWalk Party Pass and a spot to perform in front of hundreds of VIP and media guests during CityWalk’s Rising Star’s grand opening event in April 2008.
