KSS2012 "Awards" - Visual Masterpiece

The award for Visual Masterpiece goes to Amy for Mim Ukes, performing her version of "Connection" by Elastica with lights out and Christmas lights on, wrapped around her as she rocked out. Some insider info: I do believe Amy rewrote the lyrics to have a Christmas theme. I swear I hear "Karaoke Secret Santa" somewhere in there...

[Note: first Vimeo upload, too; check it!]

This one goes out to Noelia for working with "hair metal" and "rap" to come out with a KSS video. She performs "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake.

KSS2012 "Awards" - Best Public Performance

[Note: In no way is this me tooting my own horn, but you'll soon find out that these "awards" are not exclusionary.]

The "award" for Best Public Performance goes to Joe R.'s video for Sian, performing "Best of You" by the Foo Fighters at the Canberra Irish Club. Was this the first public performance video for KSS?

Check it out and send them some love!

KSS2012 Roundup

Hey, guys!

Quick roundup before I officially start posting videos.

First, I would like to thank you all who participated for contributing some wonderful videos. Everyone was really trying to deliver by Christmas on their secret elf's time, which is great and very thoughtful.

We had a few newcomers who stepped up to the plate, as well, and a special shoutout goes out to them: Noelia, Jen Y and Amy!

I will be posting the videos in a somewhat different manner than previous years. At first, it won't be flashy, but I think it's important to officially share them amongst the KSS group.

That being said, Karaoke Secret Santa 2012 is not quite complete, yet, as we did not meet our 100% participation goal this year. But, we do have 2 videos coming up, so watch out for those.

Thank you all and hope to see you next year (maybe sooner than you think)!

Happy New Year!!!

Sincerely,
Joe R.
