If you like American Idol then you should have been out at the Viking Plaza Mall this last Saturday!
We had our annual Alexandria Idol Contest for kids!
It was a good time with some awesome talent!
Check out the pictures below to see what you missed!
Mark your calendars to watch for next August
when we will have Alexandria Idol 2009!
9am The Stage is Set
9:30 am Contestants were signing up
10am The crowd began to gather
The judges were ready (that is me on the left hand side)
Derek Lee with 104.7 KCLD Started the Show
The talent was amazing! Here is Kendra who is 8 years old and could really belt out a song. Her first song was "Right Now" and her second performance was "A Picture to Burn". She had the moves to go along with her voice and had the crowd loving her! She has got a future ahead of her! Congratulations Kendra for making it into the second round!
Some really got into the music and had the voices to go with the performances!
This is our 5th year for doing Alexandria Idol and the talent is getting better every year. Which makes being a judge very difficult! We had 23 kids sign up for the contest and narrowed it down to these three! It was such a difficult decision, they were all wonderful! Each sang three different songs and performed along with them.
Audra Jones of Alexandria, MN took 3rd place.
She also happened to win 2nd place in our 2007 Idol Contest!
Ashley Klein of Avon, MN took 2nd place!
Amanda Richards of Carlos, MN took 1st Place.
Here is a picture of our top three winning contestant's with Derek Lee and their trophy's!
They won some fabulous prizes!
A big Thank You to all of our contestant's!
I am happy to say that we able to give each of our contestants a Mall Gift certificate
and some other prizes that were donated by mall merchants
and other local merchants from the Alexandria area!
I am looking forward to Alexandria Idol 2009
It looks like you all had a lot of fun! I love to see natural talent like that.mdsyrmj
