Who will claim the title of America's top singer? The qualifying rounds for the Karaoke World Championships 2026 are currently underway across the U.S., aiming to identify the country's most gifted singers who will represent the nation on the global stage in November 2026.
Our ideal candidates are not just vocalists but performers who can captivate audiences with their rendition of any song, making it their own. With talented individuals like Brooklyn Carney and Ken Mann, who placed in the top 10 in 2025 as part of Team Michigan, we are optimistic about the potential for Michigan to secure both national and international titles.
Due to overwhelming demand in 2025, there will be limited spots available per qualifying round. Register earlyโฆ
Registration will open on May 1, 2026, at kwcusa.org. The qualifying rounds in Michigan will be held every Thursday from May 28, 2026, until June 18th, followed by the finals on June 25th, where the top three contestants will be chosen to represent Michigan in Las Vegas for the national title.
Hosted by 2025 Team Michigan member Alaina Kerr.
