Singing To Fame

When I was blogging extensively on music and entertainment reality shows like Malaysian Idol and Akedemi Fantasia, some readers told me that they absolutely cannot understand why I am so fascinated with these shows but I like to know that I know of these people BEFORE they became STARS and that I had a hand in MAKING stars out of them through my votes. Hehehe does that sound like I am going on a power trip?

You know, I don't have the luxury to watch TV anymore and most of my entertainment is obtained online so I was delighted to know there is something like the "Idol" show online and it is called Algeka. Through Algeka, people around the world who dream of being music and video stars can showcase their emerging music videos for free. They are letting the world decide on how talented they are! I wouldn’t have the guts myself!

Algeka will help to promote these videos and stars and browsers get to decide who they enough to support. We get to buy their music in downloadable audio and video files and the artiste will receive a 20% royalty.

If you think that you will be spending too much time sieving though "crap" music videos on Algeka, then think again! Algeka has a team of dedicated staff who will manually go through all submissions before posting them on the site for public preview. This is a great quality control measure.

After browsing through the site, I must say that there are so many talented people out there and they are just waiting for our help to get that big break. If you ask me to choose just one video artiste, I don't think it is possible. My personal favorites are Sherri Miller and Eddy Austin. Both are very professional and polished singers. Eddy Austin's video is very compelling as well and carries across the message of the lyrics so well. I think they both deserve a record deal!!

Do check them out if you are into emerging new artistes!
