Show Host Scott Hayes CommentaryThe definition of insanity is to repeat the same thing whilst expecting different results. So, this year we're trying some new things. One of our contestants failed to show up. You can't win if you don't show up, and this year everyone that shows up is a winner! Another of our contestants had some technical difficulty - that's ok, we invited him back to try again on 4 March 2016. It was the compassionate thing to do, because, after all, he is from Iceland and could probably use a little warmth and hospitality from down south. DB2's GOT TALENT 2016 - ParticipateOur call for contestants is STILL OPEN! Only 20 18 8 slots available! Unlike prior years, contestants will only present ONCE! And, every Contestant will earn an honorarium prize ranging from $10 to $75 just for giving a short 7 minute presentation! DB2's GOT TALENT 2016 - ROUND #1We have three contestant videos for you to watch and learn from. They are conveniently embedded below. This year voting is achieved via "Liking " the videos. So, if you like a contestant video, if you like the contestant, or if you learned something from the video, then click the THUMBS UP to like it! Apparently the ability to "LIKE " a video (thumbs up) is only available on YouTube (not via the embedded videos below). Download, and listen to, the complete replay files below to hear the comments made by our judges. The feedback from judges is intended to help our contestants improve their presentations via compliments and constructive criticism. The DB2Night Show is free. The education is free.
