One of the main events at the 2007 Conquest Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention was the Conquest Idol Competition.  This was the first year for this event at Conquest, but its popularity will ensure that it will continue next year. 

The effect of listening to a bunch of dedicated nerds get up on stage and try to sing was both painful and hilarious.  The best acts, unsurprisingly, were those that embraced their bad singing and used it along with intentionally horrible song choices for maximum comedic effect. 

Though the singing was almost universally bad, the event was a blast and I hope to see what next year’s entrants can do.
