@Rawk4Life That's true. I thought it was funny that the show's vocal coach was having me practice my nasal tones. Speaking of vocal coaches, did you know that Al had to take vocal lessons because he was damaging his voice? He would lose his voice mid-way through shows. Now he has an amazing vocal range, thanks to coaching. Thanks for the comment! =)
That's one thing I noticed that you sounded less nasally than Weird Al Yankovic. But, it's probably for the better based on what you said about him losing his voice midway through his concerts. Many of the vocalists that scream or growl in their bands' songs do warmups between song takes and before shows so that they don't permanently damage their vocal chords.
I watched most of Season 1 of Your Big Break and the stand out performances to me were the guys who sang as Frankie Valley and Louie Armstrong. However, some perfomances sounded forced almost as if they were doing karaoke rather than trying to sound like their favorite artist.
I gave Al a copy of the VHS tape. I don't know if he ever got around to watching it. It was weird that a lot of the people on the show had worked with Al before. Mike Malone the stage manager and Larry Klein the producer both did this show and the Weird Al TV show! So I'm guessing Al is aware of it.
The first contestant on this episode, the Beatle guys...you need to get that video on here. I love the guy who plays Paul..I know him...I'm sitting on his couch right now in fact.
Oh, and also, I randomly paused it at 5:44, and that face looked so familiar, and then I just realized that that's the same look you used for the AlCon III picture that you took with Al himself, it's posted on his website under Misc
Oh so he is a Genius!

You did ok, but your voice sounded a little too clean. Weird Al typically sang through his nostrils when doing parodies in the 80's.

I am not sure what you mean by "years before American Idol" because A.I. debuted just 2 years after season 2 of Your Big Break.

@Rawk4Life Your Big Break came first, at least here in the States. That's all I'm saying. I think you are saying the same thing as me.
