Reba McEntire anchors CMT’s online talent search
CMT is searching for the next country music star. It could result in a meeting with country music star Reba McEntire and more. Much more.
The “CMT Music City Madness 2009 Video Contest” gives participants the opportunity to produce their own music video featuring their original musical composition. Fans will narrow the field in an online battle of the bands. And one lucky singer-songwriter will win a trip to Nashville to record CMT Studio 330 Sessions, a private showcase with A&R executives at Valory Music and a backstage pass to one of Reba’s concerts.
To take advantage of the online talent search, go to www.madness.CMT.com and submit an original video performance by Oct. 5. On Oct. 20, CMT.com will reveal the 64 finalists who will compete in a single-elimination, tournament-style contest that is decided by online voting by fans. The grand prize winner will be announced in December.
Reba even has some advice for this season’s Music City Madness entrants. Via CMT.com blogs, she will offer up tips on how to create a music video, how to write hit songs and how to build a music career. In addition, country music stars Jewel, Jack Ingram, Justin Moore and Jimmy Wayne will offer support to contestants throughout the competition.
This is CMT.com’s fourth annual talent search contest. Last year, more than 22 million votes were cast to name 33-year-old Atlanta resident Kurt Thomas the winner for his self-penned song, “Follow Your Lead.”
