Lisa Nunes of Alliance Title in Los Gatos took the honors and was named this year's SILVAR Idol at the Los Gatos/Saratoga District's Karaoke Night. The popular event, which was held last Thursday night at Mountain Charley's Saloon in Los Gatos, drew about 150 fans and Idol wanna-bees.

SILVAR's counterparts for Simon Cowell (Mark Miano), Paula Abdul (Connie Martinelli) and Randy Jackson (Rusty Karraker) deemed Marisa Thompson of Alain Pinel Realtors, as the second place winner. "Best Worst Performance in Show" went to none other than Brian Thornton of Finet of Saratoga.
 
Brian Bernasconi acted the part of Ryan Seacrest and served Master of Ceremonies for the evening, which turned out to be a fun night for everybody, with great entertainment, singing, dancing, and lots of laughter and camaraderie

Aspirants for the title blasted tunes like "Summer Nights" from the musical "Grease" and Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive." Then there was Chris Alston, who sang Garth Brooks' "I Got Friends in Low Places" and runner-up Marisa Thompson, who delivered her rendition of Faith Hill's "Breathe" and Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools."
