Below is a link to this contest that is going on at "One Tree Hill" which started today (January 10th, 2007) and ends on January 21st.....WHITNEY STEELE, who just happens to be the granddaughter of a very very old friend of mine, is competing in this contest and the winner will appear on the television show "One Tree Hill", singing the song he or she has submitted! And in her case, it is a song Whitney Steele has written, too.
Whitney is a very very talented young woman and I know because I have her CD and I think she has got "IT"! Truly!
So, do go here:
http://www.cwtv.com/thecw/rocktheprom
and give WHITNEY STEELE a listen---and, then vote for her, please. A 'break' like this----getting on this show, I mean----can mean so very much to someone's future career in this very very difficult business....That dear Whitney actually got into the five finalists says a whole lot about her talent...Help make the difference with your vote, and by the way, you can vote on your computer or another computer, too, once a day through January 21st. That's what I am doing, having already voted...well now...yesterday, and I will continue voting each day through January 21st....
By way of the history here: I went to High School with Whitney's dear Grandfather Burt Robbins...and Burt's 'late' sister, Zoe Olin, was a dear dear friend from those early days in Great Neck....In fact, The Robbins family were the first people I knew in Great Neck to have a television set.
One of those big huge pieces of furniture with a little ten inch screen....I used to go over to their apartment on Tuesday Nights to watch Milton Berle...Yes....'Uncle Miltie'. We all would sit around the tv set, mesmerized by this amazing miracle of an actual 'live' talking picture in one's living room....My mother finally broke down in self defense and bought a TV set just so I would not be at the Robbins house 4 nights a week watching different TV shows....Indeed, we all became addicted to television almost immediately back then, just as people are addicted now....(lol)So, do go on over to that link and give a listen to this incredibly talented young woman....And just think how really good it will make you feel if Whitney Steele wins and you know that by voting you had some part in making that happen and in supporting a very hard working gifted artist to achieve her dreams....It will make you feel like a million bucks, I promise you!
So, here is that link, one more time....And I thank you, in advance for your support in this very worthwhile endeavor....Yayyyy Whitney!http://www.cwtv.com/thecw/rocktheprom
More To Come.......

I have to say, despite what you wrote, I listened to her and all the other bands on that page. For me, I liked her sound best, plus she was the only female singer on there. That's pretty cool. A close second for me was the group "Within Reason" ... I also liked "The Pinder Brothers".
But, since I liked her best, she's the one I voted for. :)- Thursday, January 11, 2007 at 11:14:00 PM PST
- had this to say:
All I can say is just WOW!
She is awesome! So Talented!
I will vote everyday as well, I book marked the page. I looked at the others and yanno, I would have voted for her even without knowing. Of course I would never have known where to go to vote without your linky.
GO WHITNEY!
Have a wonderful day!

In french I would say "ça alors" which is an expression of big surprise ! Of course I know this girl, I just never realized that her name was on your blog ! But I recognized immediately her voice ! She has such a beautiful voice it sounds like crystal. Of course I voted for her.
Don't worry about cat's on tuesday, you don't have to write a 1000 miles long post ! A funny or cute picture would do it too. Just like you want.- Monday, January 15, 2007 at 3:22:00 AM PST
