Hey does this means we will have to upload new videos every week?If we do I think I won’t have the time because I’m going on vacation and this means the world to me:(
Thank you Careem! Well, being in the contest really boosted my confidence from all the feedback people were giving with the comments and votes. I didn’t think I had a chance with it all but I guess everyone liked me best. Also, I finished my demo after the contest and they are being distributed to various companies.
awww jessie your so welcome and thats awesome all thats happening for you!!! i will record my demo soon too! i hope you get signed! have you had any luck with record labels??
Congrats Jessie Mariem,
That’s awesome that you won and that you are coming back this season to keep up with contestants and vote
How awesome Jessie!! Congrats on all of that!
I just found out about this today..mannn..i hope i get to do it the next time around…
I haven’t heard from any labels yet but as always I keep trying. Thank you Jen Leigh and Ashley!
I think if music is really a passion you do any little thing to get your voice out there. You never know who’s listening. Good luck Jessie and all other singers.
Thx Nicole Marie and JessieMariem I am so happy because of you keep us posted about your music career:)
Shaye u rock
When does week 2 begin? The site isn’t allowing me to vote any longer.
Week 2 will begin this week and will be announced at the top of he post. The voting poll is now closed for week 1.
I vote for Jennifer Leigh !
Why is the site only allowing me to vote once a week instead of once a day. I log in with my email and it tells me I have already voted in this poll. It does the same for my husband when he logs in too. We would like to be able to vote once everyday. =)
I vote for Jennifer Leigh.
Hey Anita, I think they mean you can comment vote everyday because I have tried to vote once a day and It only allows me once a week too. A bunch of my friends have come across the same problem.
Kathy
i vote for hannah-noelle, forever and always. <3
Shaye is going to be fantastic…So many rooting for her.
GO SHAYE!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Kathy.
Good sound – keep singing
@Shaye Good sound – keep singing
My vote goes to Hannah Noelle! She sings so wonderfully. =)
Go Hannah Noelle!
Hey FTV if you click under Hannah Noelle’s video on her name it pulls up her video of “Breaking Free” but someone else’s version of “Take A Bow” not hers. I thought you might want to know so you can fix it.
Thanks
