1Click2Fame Valentine's Day Countdown: 6

6 days until Valentine’s Day! And who better to make a contribution to our countdown then our lovely 1Click community. Today’s surprise comes courtesy of 1Click2Fame competitor, Jack Martello.

Jack gave us an exclusive performance of his self-penned track “To Fool in Love.” We love listening to this here at the 1Click offices and felt it would be fitting to include it in our Valentine’s Day Countdown as it makes us feel all nice inside. So sit down, make yourself a nice cup of tea and enjoy. Oh, and listen out for “The Jungle Book” bit!

Thanks for such a brilliant song Jack.

Tom's Vlog: Post-It Notes and Killer Bees

There are a number of common mistakes you can make in the workplace. Accidentally sending rude e-mails to “all@…”, falling asleep at your desk and waking up with Post-It’s and paper-clips stuck to your face or thinking it’s ‘Bring your Pet to Work Day’ and ending up trying to tempt your badger ‘Montgomery’ down from the air conditioner with some M&S digestives. Yes, we’ve all seen these mishaps happen all too often, none of which we are guilty of…well, just the one and we still can’t figure out how Montgomery got up there in the first place. He’s still there.  The mind boggles.

And so, Tom returns with Episode 4 of his vlog and this week shows us a very stupid worker who makes a very stupid mistake…on live television! As usual, don’t forget to rate, comment and subscribe. We’re off to buy more digestives.

Web site story

No, you’re not having a deja vu! But yes, we have done this feature before. However, we thought we’d make it more of a regular item and bring you footage from our 1Click2Fame archives as often as we can.

So, this week we’ve had Tom look through the many videos that he’s filmed and edited and this one still managed to put a smile on our faces and gives us such precious memories of being back at the Turning Point Festival held at The Roundhouse in May last year. We took our first Performance Pod there and it was a huge hit, if we do say so ourselves. Have a watch as we meet London-based busker, Puncture Kit and convince him to have a go in the Pod.

First winner of 2010!

You’ve all been clicking away everyday to see your favourite act make an epic climb to the top of the chart. So much so, that your mouse is starting to look abit under the weather.

But, worry not, 1Click friend, your efforts have not gone unnoticed. We’ve counted up all the votes and here is where your contribution lies:

Sarah Duce – It’s a good start to the new year for our Pod Princess Sarah as she walks away with the top prize of a professional recording shoot with top production company Flynn. We spoke to Sarah and here is what she had to say: Sarah Duce

“I’ve had so much support from my family and friends so I would like to say a big thank you to all of them. I’ve had people voting for me in the Isle-of-Man, so it’s great to see the support. It’s a great start to the new year, thank you!”

Sarah came out in 2nd place last month, which already secured her a place in our 3rd and last Quarterfinal before we head into our Annual Final. So joining her will be the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place competitors of this month: Kkv91, Himandmetv and Hollie McKinlay.

These talented lot will be heading over to our Boot Camp in March where they will be given tips and training from our Star Coaches.

The song itself has had thousands of hits on Lucie’s MySpace page and with a rocking video to match, it is sure to be a hit with her fans.

A sense of Euphoria

Since winning our 1st Quarterfinal back in July, 4-piece rock band, Euphoria Audio, have been busy writing and recording new tracks and performing countless gigs up and down the country.

We caught up with Lloydy, Shirty, Ben and Danny whilst doing their first acoustic set at The Hawley Arms in Camden last week for an update on what they’re going to be getting up to in the coming months.

Tom's Vlog: The Luckiest Man?

Kylie sang “I should be so lucky” and Bruce Springsteen sang “Honey, you’re my lucky day.” But nothing compares to the luck that was witnessed in Russia as a pedestrian attempted to cross the road.

This week, Tom is back with his 2nd vlog (a day late, but then again punctuality has never been one of his strong points) giving us his view on what’s hip and happening in the webiverse right now. So sit back, have a watch and let us know what you think. Rate, subscribe and leave your comments. Oh…and don’t forget to tell us where you want to see the chicken!

January's Final kicks off!

Gather round my peoples. We have 12 top acts that have been voted in by you and they’re ready to battle it out for the top prize of a professional video shoot.

The top 3 also make it to our last Quarterfinal before we go into our Annual Final. So, this is your chance to vote for who you would like to see put through their paces at our Boot Camp. Here’s the rundown for who is in this month’s running (in no particular order, of course):

Jack Martello – 21-year-old Jack hails from Kent and since he joined 1Click2Fame, has been campaigning for votes through Twitter and Facebook. We’re sure he’ll be pulling out all the stops for this month’s final.

The Angel of Music – Poppy Mills is only 12 years old but don’t let that deceive you. Her voice is exactly that of an angel’s and has been a favourite on the site since she joined.

Nena Kubu – This 5-piece band from Doncaster are no strangers to the monthly finals. We share their love for La Roux and Calvin Harris, so here’s hoping their 80’s inspired tracks will get them to the top of the chart.

Sarah Duce – When 16-year-old Sarah stepped into our Performance Pod we knew she’d be an instant hit. Her rendition of “Think of Me” from The Phantom of the Opera is enough to give anyone chills.

The Many Faces of Louise Stokes – Comedienne Louise has always been a big hit on the site and has already gone through a number of monthly finals and the first Boot Camp. She’s still determined to make it to the top of the charts and she needs your votes to get her there.

Kkv91 – Kulpreet has a large following on YouTube, with over 30,000 subscribers to her channel and an oh so sweet voice such as hers, we can understand why she’s so popular.

Thea Kate – At only 13 Thea is already a singing sensation, and she’s hoping you can help her run up the charts against all odds.

Chris Gunn – Chris is a 16-year-old video maker. He describes himself as a “technical person” and even has his own website where he gives reviews and tutorials on all things gadgetry. We think he might be Inspector Gadget.

Hollie McKinlay – 15-year-old Hollie from Essex is a singer, dancer and actress, plus, she plays the guitar and piano! Surely that’s enough for anyone to make it to the top of the chart?!

And finally, we come to the Wildcard choices as chosen by Stevie Lange, Kate Prince and Jayne Collins. They chose these lucky lot who will be joining the others in the battle for the top spot:

Him and Me TV – This comedy duo recently headlined our first comedy night and they went down a storm. It’s no wonder Jayne Collins saw potential in them saying she found them “absolutely hilarious.”

The Management – “Good vocals and great harmonies” were the words used by Stevie Lange to describe this 3-piece girl band.

Love Dance – Kate loved the “flow of his choreography” and we were pretty impressed too.

So there we have it. We’ll leave it up to you to decide! Voting ends this Thursday, so get clicking and you could change someone’s life. Click here for the chart page and to cast your vote.
