| Costume clause. To keep this event colorful we factor in costumes though they are optional. If singers are wearing costumes related to songs whether it's characters from a broadway play, musical or just a reflection of a character in the song,(or theme of a song) the contestants will get the 5 points above even if they stand there staring at the monitor like they're in a choir. So they don't have to work that hard to get the 5 points above. But if they earn at least 4 or more points in the category above and are wearing costumes related to the song, judges will tack on an extra 2 points.So a contestant wearing a costume and getting 4 points above would earn 6 points. If they got a 5 from above they would earn a combined 7 points. |
