An oldie but a goodie! My apologies if I've shared this video before.
A nearly full half hour with some of the SPN Family. Enjoy!

Finally getting to my videos from the Saturday Night Special from last October's VanCon.
Louden Swain kicks off the show with a couple of great songs and then Matt Cohen sings.

Had to cut off the first video because I was conserving card space & battery power for "Carry On" at the end. ;)

You've gotta have a Backstreet Boys song at Karaoke, it's almost a requirement at this point. But Kim & Briana doing an interpretive dance to it? That's new! :) Then Matt returns to take over the last half of Karaoke alone.

Always love singing the Taylor Swift song at karaoke and we got our one surprise guest, Kat Ramdeen, during "Born This Way"!

I'll be honest: this was the most disappointing Friday Night Karaoke I'd ever been to.

It wasn't for a lack of enthusiasm or energy from the crowd, but there was hardly any star power on the stage! All we had was Matt, Briana, and Kim and for the last hour it was only Matt! Obviously, Rich wasn't there due to directing, but where was Rob??? Where were the usual surprise guests or local actors that would stop in for a song or two? I was so excited when Kat Ramdeen appeared, but then she was gone just as fast.

It was mighty lackluster and by the end, I was almost sorry I even went and stood for those 2 hours. This karaoke was NOTHING like all the other ones I've attended at VanCon over the years. *sigh* It sounds like Rich isn't even going to do any Friday Night Karaoke at the cons next year, so that's sad, too.

The 2 final songs and videos from the Saturday Night Special!
I love the song "Amazing". Rob first sang this for us at last year's SNS and it's just as beautiful as ever. Then everyone gets on stage, including a lot of the SPN to join in on the kazoo solos for "Medicated".

One of the great things about this year's SNS is that we got so many new songs! Here we get one of those from Matt Cohen...along with a new song by Louden Swain.

Here's the last 2 Karaoke videos.
Our last surprise guest was Osric Chau!!! He didn't sing a song though...no, he had a song sung to him! Btw, if you watch the first video you'll notice some major camera shake and black screen in the middle. Well, that's because Jason Manns started going though Osric's backpack and pulled out a pair of grey underwear. Which he then rolled up and tossed into the crowd - and right at me! Amazingly, I caught them with my left hand (I was holding my camera in the right hand). I didn't even think about it. It was just a gut reaction to reach out and catch them. I quickly looked around to see if anyone wanted to take the garment off my hands and a gal next to me eagerly took them. But then almost immediately, a gal approached us (I'm assuming she was a Creation volunteer) and took the underwear away. So yeah, I caught the underwear....hope they were clean. LOL

And of course, you can't have Karaoke without singing the show's unofficial theme song at the end. Seemed a little odd that they didn't invite the Creation volunteers onto the stage as they usually do. Maybe because they're paid now? Anyway, singing that song with the cast and fellow fans is always such a magical moment. :D

One of our many guests for Karaoke, Jerry Trimble, Jr., who played Ramiel in Season 12 joins in on the fun.
