 Edition 16: Dumpster Fire18/07/2024 in ACUWelcome spies! Grab your shades, set your watches, and put your phone into the fridge. For this is an edition full of mystery and intrigue. Quick! Follow me behind this burning dumpster, there’s no time to explain! Is your best friend actually a secret government agent? Perhaps. Is there someone watching you? Absolutely! Are you being wire tapped while you sing? I don’t think so. Our contact has revealed that 22 spies (who shouldn’t’ve picked being a singer as their covert identity) are coming together at checkpoint Alpha Charlie Uniform. We need help to get some counter intelligence on the AIVD, the FSB and the CIA, to unravel one of the greatest mysteries in Utrecht. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, starts at 21:00 sharp. Briefing at 20:00. But please keep this information confidential. We don’t want another leak in De Telegraaf. Please note that this message will self-destruct in 5 seconds. Best of luck! !!! DETAILS !!!

 Edition 14: Divided by Music09/05/2024 in ACUPolitical songs only for this very special edition of Europe’s most appreciated anti-talent show. For the first time a jury of semi-professional drag performers will share their opinion on the performers but our lines will also be open for televoting. If you want to represent your country, be on time! 22 people will be eligible to shine on stage. Part of the proceeds, and 100% of the bribes collected for this edition will go to to support independent Palestinian civil society organizations operating from the Netherlands. Some more rejected words from our marketing team: “The Worst Karaoke Song Contest is more than just a song competition; it’s a celebration of the power of music to tear people apart.” “’Divided By Music’ encapsulates the core values of the Worst Karaoke Song Contest, which has a rich history of promoting humiliation, exclusion, and autistic expression.” !!!

Blaas ’m eruit tijdens onze workshop Stembevrijding! In dit muzikale onderzoek verkennen we de weerstand van muurbloempjes en hebben we geen ruimte voor talent. Alleen verliezers worden geëerd. Lieftallige presentatrice Yvette schept de perfecte onveilige omgeving om weergaloos in te falen, dus spreid je vleugels en spring op het podium* van Boot 122! Alle liedjes zijn welkom, zolang ze niet langer duren dan vijf minuten, er een karaoke versie van bestaat en het niet Tequila van The Champs is. * Wij zijn niet aansprakelijk voor eventueel letsel na springen op het podium. !!!

 Edition 10: Happy New Fear14/12/2023 in ACUHey losers! Our Hall of Shame is practically begging for another pathetic Wiener to join the ranks, step right up, and it might just be your unlucky day! As we bid farewell to this dumpster fire of a year, let’s take a stroll down the lane of utter disgrace and applaud all the monumental fails. Just remember, only 22 acts get the dubious honour of sucking in the spotlights. Unless you come with an enticing bribe. Join us for a year-end drink that perfectly mirrors the quality of our collective achievements. Bring your lack of talent, questionable decisions, and a sparkly outfit that screams “I’ve given up on this year.” Here’s to a night of auditory chaos, where bad singing isn’t just tolerated—it’s celebrated. Cheers to the end of the year and the beginning of your journey into the Hall of Shame!
