Are You The Next Urban Idol? One Last Chance To Find Out!
JANUARY 16, 2005 (ATLANTA, GEORGIA) The Ultimate Urban Idol Reality Show is slated for the taping of its last chance round on January 21 -22, 2006. Those who make it to the final can breathe a little easier knowing they are [that] much closer to bringing their dreams to fruition. If you are a singer with a blissful voice or a rapper with enough lyrical dexterity and potential to step up as the premier MC, the Urban Idol is the place. Well maybe you do not have the pipes for singing in the gritty alto range of todays stars and you are not a rapper. But you have a poetic vibe coupled with street-smart or youre equipped with enough dancing moves to upstage Usher, and then let the Urban Idol become your musical platform.
During the last taping the Host and supermodel/actress Kash Howard (Revlon, Blackmen, XXL, Bet Comic View (R. Kelly - Fiesta, Snoop Dog Lay Low, Outkast Bombs over Bagdad) with her turbo-charged personality played host to the audience packed theatre. And greeting interviewees backstage with her infectious smile was the beautiful Co-Host Trina Braxton (of the famed Braxton Sisters, Meet the Browns, A Stranger In My House, Dream Girls, Vibe, Jet and Sister 2 Sister Magazine).

Notable acts who made it to the ATLANTAS FINALS Heart To Hustle (HTH), Young Vet, Jugg, Cheeto Gambino, Jason Johnson, Sawed-Off and R&B group sensations Sincere, Kat & Twin Flava (Twin Production) and Kahryn.
Since the inception of Urban Idol each round had been decided by a formidable judging panel which included Jason Rome (Platinum Recording Producer/Engineer Dopler Studios) a Grammy Award winner, Rome has no shortage of accolades. No stranger by any means to the musical world, he produced tracks for several top-selling artists (Ce-Lo, Dru Hill, Backstreet, Kelly Price, Ludacris, Swizz Beats, Patti Labelle, Jagged Edge and Luther Vandross.).
