Got some news from the folks down at the CACF about Asian Idol II (thanks Cynthia) and word has it that this event was so hot last year that they had to turn people away - and this year's event is going to be even bigger.
You know you can't turn down the chance to karaoke, become an Asian Idol and help out a great organization:
GET IDOLIZED…AGAIN!Get those pipes ready (and maybe an occasional ear plug)!
One Stage. One Night. One chance to be an Idol.
