A distinguished panel of judges, led by OP Chua, OP Joherman, and including Sazzy Falak and Mr. Alexis, diligently evaluated the contestants’ performances.
The competition featured two categories, the OP Category and the OP Family Category, each recognizing the outstanding talents among the OPs and their families.

The event concluded seamlessly at midnight, with the judges taking 30 minutes to tabulate the results. The entire OP community thoroughly enjoyed the performances, creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere.
To add a unique touch to future events, incorporating live streaming or interactive voting through a dedicated app could amplify audience engagement. This could also provide an avenue for broader participation, even beyond the immediate OP community.
This time however, we had hundreds watching our livestream, as witnessed by OP Rombi who was handling the streaming camera.
In conclusion, the OP Idle 2024 – Karaoke Contest, Heat 1, not only showcased the remarkable talents within the community but also demonstrated the success of a OP camaraderie to put up an organized and entertaining event.
