Fall River's Scottie's Pub was packed with excitement on Wednesday night as it hosted the finals of its eagerly anticipated annual karaoke contest.

What began 10 weeks ago, evolved into a thrilling showdown that saw five lucky singers walk away with a share of the $3,000 prize pool.

The competition kicked off around 8:00 PM on April 17th, attracting participants from all walks of life, each hoping for their chance to claim the top spot and a generous cash prize. With the golden rule stating that contestants could not perform any songs they had sung in previous rounds, creativity and versatility were key.

Powered by D&M Karaoke and overseen by a panel of six judges, the atmosphere at Scottie's Pub lit up with anticipation as contestants and spectators awaited the evening's entertainment. The venue was packed to the rafters and buzzing with energy as the finalists prepared to take to the stage.
