Hiii everyone, today I'm with myspace
Good evening Brisbane! From the studios of Bruce 31 and in conjunction with Oz Karaoke,
welcome to the talent showcase of the 90s, the Karaoke Kangaroo. And now, here's your
host, Mr Billy Masters! And welcome again. Welcome again to another fine,
sprawling episode of the Karaoke Kangaroo. God, they're enthusiastic today. Well,
we're going to have a lovely time, we are indeed. I'm sorry, tonight, tonight. I nearly
gave the game away. Ladies and gentlemen, let's introduce our judges very quickly
before we go on. Let's have a big round of applause for Dice Debenham Waters, Mr Des
Rogers, and the lovely Desney Toya, direct from Karaoke Times, your window on the
karaoke world. Very quick wrap up of how we run our show. For those of you who have been
watching for the last ten weeks or so, it's very simple. Our judges will score, if
someone is very good, they just simply score them on a point system. If they're
lousy, they will hold up their thumbs. Can we have a quick shot of the thumbs there?
And then finally, if three thumbs are up, so to speak, I mean down,
three thumbs are down, we then hit King Frog and he rules. This is the ruler here,
Mr King Frog, right? So without any further to do, let's introduce our very first
entertainer. Let's hear it for Debbie Taylor, and she's going to do Tell Him.
Let's hear it for Debbie!
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now.
I know something about love. You've got to show it and make him see the stars of the
night. Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now.
Ever since the world began, it's been that way for man and women were created.
Love that does good, and why should true love be so complicated? Oh yeah!
I know something about love. You've got to take it and show him what the world is made of.
One kiss will prove it, if you want him to be always by your side. Take his hand tonight
and swallow your foolish pride and tell him that you're never going to leave him. Tell him that you're always going to love him.
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now.
Oh Debbie, you did very well indeed. You did, you got through. Okay, so we're going to cross over to our judges now and see what they've got to say. Do you die?
Deb, I gave you a nine, and I think I only took one point off because when you sang complicated I think you lost your breath a little bit. Okay, goodbye.
Okay, Desi, your judgement? I gave you a nine. You really enjoyed yourself. You used the cameras brilliantly.
You just looked like you had a great tone, so alright. And finally, Mr. Rogers.
Yes, I did actually quite enjoy it. I probably, I think it was the volume where you get to see a bit more projection in the voice a bit more.
And the eyes contact sort of more with the audience as well. I think this ended up really closing a bit there. But the performance overall was quite enjoyable.
It was very generous for me. I'll give you a seven and a half. A big seven and a half from Deb. Thank you very much indeed, Debbie. Good on ya.
Alright, moving right along now we have a gentleman who's going to vocalise for you and give you a wonderful song. It's called One. Would you please make welcome Paul Sutton. Let's hear it for Paul.
Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame. You say one love, one life. When it's one need in the night.
One love, we get to share it. It leaves your baby with you, don't care for it.
Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love. And you want me to go without.
Well it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light. We're one but we're not the same. We've got to carry each other, carry each other one.
Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the letters in your head? Did I ask too much? More than a lot? You gave me nothing now it's all I got.
We're one but we're not the same. We hurt each other and we do it again. You say love is a temple, love a higher law.
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl. And I can't be holding on to what you've got when all you've got is hurt.
One love, one blood, one life you've got to do what you should. One life with each other, sisters, brothers.
One life but we're not the same. We've got to carry each other, carry each other one. One.
Baby, baby, baby.
Very good Paul, excellent. Very well done indeed. Okay, we've got enough time left for judging here. Let's hear it from Di.
You look good, sound good, vocals look quite good but I just felt you didn't put enough emotion into the singing. Feel the words that you're singing.
Okay, A's. Very good. I gave you a seven and three quarters I would also like to see you put a little bit more feeling in it and you've finished off your words which was really good.
You don't see it very often in modern music so seven and three quarters. You lost a quarter there. And finally let's hear it from Des Rodgers.
Well I feel the same as far as the emotions. I mean you're selling the song also and between the verses and the choruses you seem to like to be in neutral so you've got to carry that emotion all the way through and it carries the whole entertainment factor with that.
It didn't do a lot for me so I just sort of fixed it. That's it.
There you go from Des. Okay. Alright thank you Paul and we're going to take a very short break and we'll be back very soon.
Anytime is a good time. Welcome back indeed. Alright moving right along because we've got some very fine singers for you today and we've now got Kimberly for you and she's going to be singing Killing Me Softly. Let's hear it for Kimberly Redding.
Killing me softly with his song. Telling my whole life with his words. Killing me softly with his song.
I heard he sang a good song. I heard he had a style. And so I came to see him to listen for a while. And there he was this young boy.
A stranger to my eyes. Drumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words. Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
Telling my whole life with his words. Killing me softly with his song.
I felt a fleshed with fevered fur. Embarrassed by the crowd. I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud. I prayed that he would finish.
But he just kept right on. Drumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words. Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
Telling my whole life with his words. Killing me softly with his song.
He sang as if he knew me in all the dark despair. And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there. And he just kept on singing.
Singing clear and strong. Drumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words. Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
Telling my whole life with his words. Killing me softly with his song.
La la la la la la. Oh, la la la la la.
He was drumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words. Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
Telling my whole life with his words. Killing me softly with his song. He was drumming my pain. Yes, he was singing my life.
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song. Telling my whole life with his words. Killing me softly with his song.
Kenderly. Delightful. Absolutely delightful. Alright judges, what do you make of that? Dye.
Well I gave her a nine and a half because I thought it was an excellent performance. You looked good and sounded good.
And Desney, what are your thoughts?
I gave you a nine. At times you tended to say Kellen instead of Killing. So just finish with the In.
It's my country politics here. Alright, a big nine and Des.
I must say that was a Roberta Flack classic and when someone is taking off another person's song and doing it really, really well, I'm really impressed actually.
So I give it an eight.
What are they? Thank you, Kenderly.
Alright, okay we're moving right along now. We've got a young gentleman who's going to sing for you ladies and gentlemen. Let's have a big round of applause for this young man. It's Chris Greenheld and Born to Be Wild. Let's hear it for the boys.
Looking for adventure
From whatever comes our way
Here's our little man
Take the world in your hands
Follow the signs of wonder
It's from the days
As we're pushing my things
Every middle thunder
Of the two meanings
And the feeling that I'm under
Yeah darling, I'm a man of my own
Take the world in love with grace
Follow your guns and function
It's going to space
Like two naked skulls
We were born born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never want to die
Born to be wild
Music
Taking motorhomes
Heading out to the highway
Looking for adventure
From whatever comes our way
Here's our little man
Take the world in your hands
Follow your guns and function
It's going to space
Like two naked skulls
We were born born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never want to die
Born to be wild
Music

Well done Chris, top job mate, have you got a motorbike at home?
You should have, you did very well indeed, alright let's go over for a bit of adjudication, Di what do you thought of Chris?
Chris I gave you seven and I'd like to see you enjoy the song a little bit more when you sing it
It's a boppy song, just smile a bit more and dance around a little bit more ok?
Alright, Desi?
I gave you a seven and a half, I'd like to see you have a bit more fun too, karaoke is supposed to be a fun thing so just get up and have a great time ok?
Alright, and finally Des?
A classic song, it's more an adult song myself I think really, no animation throughout, I know you're younger and you've got more experience, go save a few years time, a bit of training experience and get into the song full on, it's a real raunchy song
Yeah, sorry, good one
Oh it's good
Get off!
Thanks Chris, alright moving right along ladies and gentlemen, we have a young lady now who's going to sing out, this young lady went through a lot of trouble to come here, she's all the way from Gunda Windy, make her welcome please Vivian Ash with Old Time Rock and Roll, let's hear it for her
I like that old time rock and roll, don't want to type me to a disco, you'll never even get me out on the floor, in ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock and roll, still like that old time rock and roll, the kind of music that soothes the soul, I'm reminiscing about the days
Oh Vivian, you're wonderful, you're wonderful, but unfortunately it's a long way to come for a big song, you can keep that, you can take that up, in fact the frog rules I'm sorry, no Vivian come back, the judges have something to say, you're standing judgement, you're standing judgement, here we go, here we go
I'm sorry I had to do that, I think you were really nervous and you were sort of not catching the lines and things like that, and I wonder whether you can get a refund on your ticket back to me
Moving right along Desney
Well you looked like you were having a good time but you were under the net a lot, sorry but you were, but at least you got up and enjoyed it and thanks for coming all this way
Good on you, ok, alright and finally Ted
You had me on the stairs actually, I think you got a great set to Huma for just getting up there because you were funny
