Yahoo bought a site I never heard about

Ever heard about Bix ? Bix.com to be precise. Don’t be ashamed to admit that you never heard about it either. I read about the site today and decided to pay a visit to website I never heard about before. I always thought I know everything that is going on but it seems that some sites seem to slip through my grasps. Back to Bix: Bix is a contest site that seems to be pretty famous for it’s Karaoke contests.

Everyone is able to create a contest on Bix. Christmas contests seem to be all over the place at the moment, you can win prizes if you win them. Everytime you visit a contest the site presents two videos from contestants that you can listen to. After doing that you have to pick one of the two and the pick will get some points. Bix features more contests than just Karaoke ones of course, you can view beauty contests, dance contests, a cappella, writing, photography, lip sync and more contests on the site.

You find many contests within each category. I found some real interesting ones, vote for the hottest Stanford Profs, the sexiest female biker or poems that touch a nerve. Most people will of course view the Karaoke competitions, for a good laugh. Don’t get me wrong. You find talented singers amongst the contestants but also some that are not that great. Just take a look at all those tv shows that are looking for singers, those people participate. Good ones, bad ones, you name it.

If you have the talent you can take part in the contests. I read somewhere that they had contests with prize money of up to $50.000, not bad for some minutes of singing, performing or smiling.
