ORLANDO The local finals
of the Talent Quest Florida
2010 season went out with
a bang on June 27 with the
last local qualifier at
Lounge 11/12.
"These were some of the
highest scores we've seen
all year," contest co-owner
and head judge Phil Garris
told the singers and their
supporters. "A lot of you
made it through because
your performances were
just so strong."

The local final for Orlando, sponsored by Sounds for Fun Karaoke, operated a little differently
than in other cities. Some contestants qualified for the finals at other venues that lead to the
Sunday final. For emcee and Talent Quest Florida co-owner, that system worked.
"We expected some good talent out of Orlando based on our previous experience here,"
Blanchard said. "The group didn't disappoint. The vocals were incredible and these singers
have some amazing talent. If they can get their appearance points up, several of these singers
could be Top 10 material for the regional finals in July. Hopefully they'll do their homework and
use those judges' critique sheets to really bring on the wow factor in Tampa."
In all, 22 singers qualified for this year's regional finals, which are expected to be the largest in
the contest's six-year history.
Qualified singers advance to the regionals at no charge since Sounds for Fun Karaoke covered
their entry fees. Tickets for friends and family are available through this Web site. In all,,
approximately 350 singers are expected to participate in this year's regionals July 9-11.
