Senior citizens own the ‘beach idol’ stage

Senior citizens own the ‘beach idol’ stage

Move over Carrie and Clay, there are some golden kids on the block and they’re stealing your thunder – at least in Brooklyn.

Ebullient elders at Palm Beach Assisted Living, 2900 Bragg Street, put a sparkling new twist on the phrase, ‘golden oldies’ when they fine-tuned their vocal chords and took to the stage for a rainbow of show-stopping gems during a song-fest, modeled after the hit television show “American Idol.”

Six finalists shared the spotlight, crooning a medley of crowd-pleasing tunes, and vying for bragging rights and cash prizes.

Jerry Abramowitz was the first place winner. Ed Bondy and June Goldberg were the runners-up.

The contest gave the seniors “something to look forward to,” said Admission’s Director Diana Corda.

“It really brightened up their day,” she added.
