Honored but Confused aka A Cosmo Search for The Next Female Music Star Looking for Me?
by Samuel Febres
I got an email earlier today from an Amy at FanOrganizer.com letting me know that ‘Cosmopolitan Magazine just kicked off its first-ever StarLaunch national talent search on YouTube, sponsored by FanBridge, CoverGirl, Nikon, and Pantene.’
So, far ok, but the next line is the kicker.
Female fronted bands and solo artists will be able to upload a performance video of an original song to http://www.youtube.com/cosmostarlaunch for consideration. The deadline for submissions is October 6th.
Seems a bit mean to let me know about an awesome contest I could be a part of if only I had boobs (can’t stop talking about these I guess). Anyway, kinda mean to send me such a nice email and I can’t participate.
Oh well. For those of you who are eligible and might be interested in this competition, the deets are below:
Each video will be reviewed by a team of record label executives and producers who will make the first cut, narrowing the entries down to the top 10.
You can Win:
- $10,000 cash
- A 3-track demo created with a hit-making record producer
- Prizes from Pantene and CoverGirl TBD
- One-year membership with FanBridge (a premier fan list management service)
The 10 semifinalists will be revealed on October 21st. Readers and music fans will then have a chance to vote on their favorite artist online at http://cosmopolitan.com/starlaunch and narrow the field from 10 to 3 finalists, who will compete in a live ‘battle of the bands’ at Terminal 5 in New York City on December 5, emceed by MTV VJ Damien Fahey. The three acts will opn the show, performing on the same stage as pop superstar Natasha Bedingfield and special guest Solange Knowles.
