LOVE it, LOVE it, LOVE it...
competition gettin' stiffer,
but the votes are in and...
Wooo-eee, gonna have to start getting in line! Just amazing how many gorgeous voices are out there! We had 2 record breakers this past week. This was the most entries we've had, and with the most popular votes ever, our winner... @alejandra23! She sang "The One" by Shakira and was just off the charts. Excellent job! Fantastic singing and congratulations to you!
This guy, @rickyaaron, has some serious lungs. Well done with a second place finish. He belted out a version of "She's Gone" by Steeheart. It was obvious this was a song you loved by the passion you sang with. Good job buddy!
The final winner this week is new to the winner's circle. Congratulations to @silentscreamer. A beautiful cover of "Someone Like You" by Adele made us hold up our bics and wait for an encore. We really hope to see you again, great job!
