Well, I am planning to sing for the Hmong New Year, but I'm not sure in which city yet. I'm from Wisconsin and I've thought about singing for the MN Hmong New Year, but it hasn't been engraved in stone yet. I'm still a little hesitant because of lack of information. The farthest I would travel to compete is to MN. As for Cali or NC, that's too far. Anyway, I am interested, I just need some information. If anyone knows, please feel free to answer. For the Singing Competition or talent show, what are the requirements? Specifically, is there a genre that you have to stick with? I know someone mentioned before about singing in Japanese, but do you have to sing Hmong Songs only? Can you sing American Songs? Does the song have to be original or can you sing other people's/artists' songs? Can you dance and sing? Can you compete at both the Minneapolis and St. Paul New Year? How are you judged? I actually heard that some of the competitions in the past were rigged. For example, some contestants in the past were favored because of relations with a judge. This could have been just a rumor though.
Anyway, if I do compete in the MN Hmong New Years this year, it would actually be my very first time setting foot there. I have never been to any of the Hmong New Years up in MN. I don't travel much. I'm from a small city called Oshkosh in Wisconsin. We do have a Hmong New Year there, but small compared to those in the bigger cities of course. We don't have a singing contest. We have dance competitions but it's usually rigged here as I mentioned earlier. It's a smaller city here so almost everyone knows eachother here. And if there is a singing contest here, if I'm not mistaken, it's with the dance competitions. In my opinion, I don't think that's fair. You can't put up a singer against a dancer, it's two whole separate different categories. That's why there's American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. Unless it's like America's Got Talent, then anything goes.
I know I asked a lot of questions but there aren't much information on the internet that I have found. If anyone knows, I would appreciate it if you can direct me to it. We don't get MN Hmong New Year flyers here either. I'm not sure why. Well, I better go. Thanks to anyone who replies.
