Mic @ the Metro MOB SCENE!

Ok so I said that last week's Mic @ the Metro was a hit...but that would be a HUGE understatement if I said the same for our second edition of 'The Mic' (that is what all the cool kids are calling it). It was CRAZY last night. People actually showed up a thirty minutes before our show to get a place in line and the chance to sing. FOX-5's Sue Palka mingled with the singers and their supports throughout the whole show and we had some great live guests sing for our 5pm newscast. If you watched the show, what you didn't see is mass of singers who sang off-air to compete to be a finalist. We were up late sorting through the contestants but after much deliberation we picked our 5 finalist for the week. Check them out under our 'entertainment tab' and then you can vote starting at 5pm this evening. Mic @ the Metro: Week 2 was a blast and I can't wait to see the talent that comes by next week at the Silver Spring Metro. SEE YOU THERE!

The coolest thing was when Paul busted out "Ice Ice Baby" -- just pure... raw... talent!

Paul, are you jazzed for Silver Spring tomorrow? I am!!:) I hope I get there early enough to sing, because I have a hunch more people are going to show up, and they're going to start lining up earlier than last week. I'll be happy just to get a turn, but this time, I really am hoping I get to sing live on the air. That would be WAY cool!! Looking forward to seeing you and Sue again!!:)

I am commenting on Steve's comment. Where did he see you perform "Ice Ice Baby" and were you boo-ed at this performance?
