Unfortunately she won't be singing in that competition again. We went last week, only to find out that nobody else had turned up. I thought that surely she would have gone through to the next round automatically, but, no, they said that she could sing & have her score carried over to this week. It's a farce. Most weeks the regulars that have entered the competition are all sat with the judges. The landlady told my girlfriend that she was at a disadvantage because she didn't have much support with her. In other words, our group weren't putting enough money over the bar. Each time we have been there, there has usually been 6/8 of us & we usually spend £25 each whilst we are there.

Silly me, for thinking it was a singing competition. If we weren't spending enough money for the landlady's liking, that unfotunate. We'll be spending even less now. i.e. nothing.

Not at all mate. She would have got through to the next round easily. I was annoyed with what was said, that's all. We'd had a natter the previous week with the landlady, & she seemed really nice. (smiley's aren't working. doh.)

Hello AccyJay,

We at the Cross were disappointed to read your comments about our recent competition and would like to try and clear up any misunderstandings.

The competition was marked in 4 different categories - voice quality obviously, choice of song, stage presence and audience appreciation. We don't know specifically who your girlfriend is, so cannot comment on her singing etc but we had some wonderful singers both male and female. Unfortunatley ballads and older songs generally are not as well received by audiences, so if she sang something in that vein - there's the first hurdle.

Second hurdle = having 3 judges with different tastes who each gave marks out of 5 in four categories meant that we got some very interesting results! Am not sure if that's actually an hurdle but that's why there were categories and marks out of 5 for each, with a final total out of 120.

We can only apologise for the inadequacies of some part of the competition organisation but that's an internal problem that has hopefully been resolved for any competitions we may run in future.

As an aside - we really can't help where people sit! The judging panel never sat in the same place twice and if people come and sit next to us - what are we supoosed to do? We can't really tell them to ****** off, can we???

We are sorry if you felt put out in any way but as the saying goes "You can't please all of the people all of the time" and we do try our best to please where we can. Introduce yourself if you're ever in again pet and we'll have a chat. John & Toni
By the way, it was the final tonight and Dave Hill won with possibly the best karaoke performance of The Devil Went Down to Georgia EVER!
