The Final Call

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

It’s exciting times here at 1Click2Fame, what with our 3rd and last Quarterfinal kicking off next Thursday. Our 12 Quarterfinalists will be battling it out for a whopping £25k sponsorship and the top 3 will also win a place in our Annual Final. These lucky 3 will be joining the Top 3 from Quarterfinals 1 and 2 to compete for the grand £100k sponsorship prize!

What’s that you say? Only 9 competitors? There should be 12? Well, yes, you’re absolutely right! And that’s where our Star Coaches come in.

Vocal coach to the stars, Stevie Lange, Music and Broadcast Executive, Alex Donelly and Founder of ZooNation UK, Kate Prince will be getting together very soon to choose the all-important Wildcards for the last 3 places in the Annual Final. The 1Click2Fame Star Coaches will be trawling through the site for the next couple of weeks to see who they think deserves this amazing opportunity.

So, if you think you’ve got what it takes to be in the running and to be the Star Coaches’ Wildcard choice then upload your video performance now! Get involved! Whatever your talent, whether it’s singing, dancing, freerunning, iceskating, even juggling, our Star Coaches want to be impressed and who knows, you could be on your way to competing for £100k sponsorship and follow in the footsteps of last year’s winner, Lucie Evans.

The Drama Unfolds. . .

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

With Boot Camp being a not-so-distant memory now, it was a case of “business as usual” as we all arrived back at the 1Click Towers today.

Yesterday was another exciting and busy day for three of our Quarterfinalists as JUiCE, Hollie McKinlay and Nena Kubu stepped inside Stevie Lange’s Studios. It was a long day of vocal warm-ups, breathing exercises and hitting the right notes as each competitor was put through their paces by Stevie and her team of producers.

And let us not forget our other Quarterfinalists! Last week we took Boot Camp to them as 1Click favourite, Louise Stokes, had a one-to-one session with stand-up comedian Gary Delaney in her hometown of Birmingham, whilst Munks had lessons with Tae Kwon Do instructor, Alan Sparks in York.

You can catch up with all the latest news and see our photos from Boot Camp on our Facebook Page. We’ll leave you with some behind-the-scenes footage from the last couple of days; watch as the “drama” unfolds!

Music Boot Camp: Day 1

Monday, March 1st, 2010

We’re here at Boot Camp 3 and what a busy day it has been so far.

Ayda, KKV91, The Angel of Music and Sarah Duce all rolled up to Stevie Lange’s Studios bright and early this morning to get their sessions underway. The four girls started off with a group session with Star Coach Stevie, followed by an individual session to improve on their performances which are currently being recorded now. We are all sitting in the Green Room listening to each performer belt out their chosen tracks. We won’t give it away just yet, you’ll have to wait and see what our competitors have delivered when our 3rd Quarterfinal begins at the end of this month.

We will be updating you soon with some behind-the-scenes footage from Boot Camp. For now, you can follow all the latest news on our Twitter feed. You can also @1Click2Fame us with any questions or messages you have for our Quarterfinalists. Let us know!

Tomorrow will be the 2nd day of the Music Boot Camp. Watch this space as Nena Kubu, JUiCE and Hollie McKinlay have their turn inside the studio…

Quarterfinal 3 Commences

Friday, February 26th, 2010

We’ve hit a double milestone here at 1Click. Not only has our last monthly final finished today but we are officially launching our 3rd and last Quarterfinal also. Yes, we’re all pretty excited here as the tension and excitement builds towards Boot Camp and the competition. Over the last 3 months, you have been voting for your favourite acts in the hope of seeing them reach their goal of winning the Monthly Finals, meeting the 1Click2Fame Star Coaches and competing for a whopping £25k sponsorship prize.

Who are these rising stars? Well, we’re glad you asked…

DECEMBER

First to make it to Quarterfinal 3 were December’s winners; trickster Munks, Pod Princess Sarah Duce and her with the “many faces,” Louise Stokes.

JANUARY

January’s Top 3 were singing sensation KKV91, celebrity spoofers Him and Me TV and the all-talented Hollie McKinlay.

And now let’s introduce you to this month’s finalists. Fresh from battling out in February’s Finals are…

JUiCE – This pop band made their way to the top of the chart with their brilliant cover of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” They even created their own mini campaign by making their own appeal video.

The Angel of Music – Poppy has the voice of an angel so we feel the name is very fitting.

Nena Kubu – This 5-piece band from Doncaster impressed the judges with their mix of modern dance music and 80’s popular music.

The final 3 to make it to the Quarterfinals are the Wildcards as chosen by our Star Coaches. They are the amazingly talented Ayda, the girl with the moves B-Girl Lyra and Football Freestyler, AR.

WILDCARDS

Remember these faces, as you will be seeing a lot more of them over the next few weeks, as we prepare for Quarterfinal 3. But first, it’s Boot Camp, where our performers will be giving their all to win your votes. For all the behind-the-scenes action and excitement, keep watching this space…

February's Final is here!

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

This month’s Final is slightly different from all of the other finals we’ve had. The reason for this is because it is the LAST monthly final before we go into our LAST Quarterfinal before we hold our Annual Grand Final! Yes, it’s pretty exciting times here and with Bootcamp plans already underway, 3 more competitors will have the chance to be put through their paces to propel them to the next stage on their road to fame, not to mention a professional video shoot too.

So here are the Final 12 for February, as voted by you lovely lot:

Stephen Cullis – Stephen recently joined 1Click2Fame and has shot up the charts almost overnight. His self-penned song “Rainbows” has proved to be very popular with our judges on the site.

JUiCE – This 4-piece band from Preston say that their music is influenced by Busted, McFly and Paramore. Their upbeat sounds are sure to get your feet tapping and maybe some mouses clicking too!

Also joining these 2 are the all-time favourites and contenders from this quarter; Hollie McKinlay, The Angel of Music, Sarah Duce, Nena Kubu, The Many Faces of Louise Stokes, KKV91 and Thea Kate. The Wildcard Choices, as chosen by our Star Coaches, are The Management, Soul Mover and Kyle Newton.

So there we have it. We’ll leave it up to you to decide who you want to vote for! 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.

First winner of 2010!

Thursday, January 28th, 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.
