New online singing contest
Â
Aspiring recording artists hoping to become a household name can compete in a new online talent search sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive and MySpace TV.
Through April 14, unsigned singers nationwide can show off their vocal talent online in the Max Fresh Video Music Competition. They can upload their video auditions at www.myspace.com/colgatemaxfresh.
Contestants can choose from a list of 15 contemporary songs, ranging from Brad Paisley’s “Letter to Me” to Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You.” They must submit a track from the contest list to qualify, according to a news release.
Eligible contestants also must obey all contest rules stated on the competition Web site.
The public will be able to vote on the entries April 15-27. The five entries that get the most votes will be the finalists.
The finalists will be judged by a celebrity panel featuring Bryan-Michael Cox, Grammy-winning songwriter and producer; Tito el Bambino, Latin singer-songwriter; and Danyel Smith, editor-in-chief of Vibe magazine.
The winner of this year’s Max Fresh Video Music Competition will get to particpate in a professional recording session and video production, featuring an original song written and produced by Cox. The winner also will get the chance to perform his or her original song at the All-Access Lounge, the pre-party to Z100 FM’s Jingle Ball, one of New York City’s most popular concert events.
“Standing out in the industry is an incredibly difficult task. I decided to partner with Colgate Max Fresh because the contest gives us a way to find fresh new talent from across the country and the online entry makes it easy for the contestants to share an audition video with a wide audience. It’s the first time I’ve ever written a song without knowing who will end up singing it. That creates an element of excitement for me in addition to finding a fresh voice,” Cox said in the release.
The winner will be revealed May 26.
