You're going to want to mark your calendar for August 8th.  That's when our Townsquare Media top 10 Ultimate Idol finalists take the stage and perform their hearts out.  On the line is the $2000 first place prize and as far as I can see, all top 10 finalists are definitely in it to win.  Last night at Foothills Performing Arts Center in the semi-final round with 20 total singers, it was clear from the first singer to the last that all contestants meant business.  There was cheering from the audience during each performance last night which is unprecedented in the many years we've held this competition.  In my humble opinion, last night's top 20 was the best we've ever had in Ultimate Idol.

Best of all is the variety of music performed and different personalities of all the singers.  As they say, there's something for everyone.  Needless to say, if you want to see the "cream of the crop" perform for the sheer joy of it, then make plans to spend the evening of August 8th with us at Foothills.  Click here for event details.
