Kate's L.A. Story

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Whilst we’re in preparation for our 3rd and last Quarterfinal, we thought we’d remind the 12 talented lot what they could be winning at the end of this month. And who better to demonstrate this then our lovely Quarterfinal 2 winner Katem3.

Kate travelled to the “home of celebrity,” Los Angeles, last month where she worked alongside producers and songwriters Mark Maxwell, Asia ‘Persuasia‘ Whiteacre and Ted Bruner, who has worked with the likes of Katy Perry, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus!

We caught up with Kate the other day and she said: “It was fantastic. Really loved every minute of it. It’s so much bigger and more colourful there. I got back into Paddington and saw all the grey buildings, train tracks, clouds and angry people and was like…whoa, cheer up England! It was amazing working with those guys and pulling out songs everyday.” We’re definitely looking forward to hearing Kate’s brand new tracks. We can’t wait!

You can catch up with all the latest info on her time in LA by following Kate’s Twitter feed or you could just watch her brilliant video diary she made while she was out there.

(Oh yeh, just one more thing, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!)

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…

The winner takes it all

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Whilst Simon Cowell’s false promises of Christmas number one have been disillusioning X-Factor contestants since 2004, here at 1Click2Fame we do stick to our promises, as 1Click competitor, Tom Andrews, found out when he bagged himself a music video shoot with London’s award-winning production company, Flynn.  Tom met with top producers to discuss the setting, theme and even casting for the video.  They then set about the shoot at an Islington warehouse and finished with a pretty smart looking video to accompany his song ‘Carry me on.’  Not bad for an afternoon’s upload and a couple of friends clicking on a thumbs-up!

Now, we know what you’re thinking, “I want to have my own music video. I want to sing in an Islington warehouse whilst playing my guitar!”* Worry not loyal 1Clickers. You too can have this great opportunity but there’s not much time! The February Finals are fast approaching and this will be your last chance to win this amazing prize, not to mention securing a place in our Quarterfinal, before we head into our Annual Grand Final.

So what are you waiting for? Upload your performance, get those all-important votes in and maybe, just maybe, you can give Beyonce a run for her money and have one of the best videos of all time (of ALL time).

In the mean time, you can check out Tom Andrew’s official music video for “Carry Me On” here.

* We read minds. It’s kind of our thing, it’s what we do.

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.

Quick Catch-up with Kate

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Since winning our 2nd Quarterfinal and walking away with the £25,000 sponsorship, Kate McGill, otherwise known as Katem3, has been incredibly busy working towards the limelight. Kate has started 2010 off with a bang and has already got a heavy schedule for the rest of the year. With such an already-large following on the world wide interweb, she will surely not disappoint.

P1000493

Kate, from Plymouth, travelled to London last week where she was given the same treatment as Kylie, Robbie Williams and Stevie Wonder at Wendy House Productions where she spent three days writing songs and recording brand new tracks. As if that wasn’t enough, Kate also had an interview and photoshoot with Company Magazine on Friday. We caught up with Kate last week to ask her how she’s feeling about it all and here’s what she had to say,

“We’ve written 2 songs so far and I’m really excited. I’m enjoying it so much but I’m more scared than anything else. I can’t look forward to anything because I’m so scared!”

To top it all off, Kate will be jetting off to LA and Sweden in the next two months to write and produce even more songs. We don’t know about you but we’re quite excited to hear what she’ll be coming up with. So stick with us, we’ll be giving you constant updates throughout Kate’s journey. You can also see exclusive updates here, on our special playlist dedicated to all things Kate.

We’ll leave you with a little reminder as to why Kate is just so great!

And the biggest stocking goes to…

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Our December Final has been a very tense and exciting last-minute bout between our 12 competitors.

Whilst we were very excited to see the top three positions continuously swap places, we eventually had to close the competition and we’re very happy to reveal who the Top 3 Finalists are and who will be making it to the 3rd Quarterfinal and 1Click2Fame Boot Camp.

Here’s who you voted for:

Munks

Trickster, Munks, flew into the top of the charts and scooped the prize of the professional video shoot with top production company, Flynn.  Thanks to his diet of Coke and Mars Bars, Munks has been flying off walls and doing flips and tricks since the tender age of 4! He describes his style of tricking as a “mix between martial-arts and gymnastics.” We just think he’s Spiderman.

Sarah Duce

16-year-old Sarah stepped into our Pod when it launched in Coventry and sang her heart out to “Think of Me” from The Phantom of the Opera. We were all pretty impressed by Sarah’s voice, even our Star Coach Stevie Lange picked her as a favourite from the site. Sarah is currently busy starring in the pantomime version of “Jack and the Beanstalk” where she is playing a fairy. “Oh yes she is.”

The Many Faces of Louise Stokes

This is somewhat of a deja vu for Louise as she has already ‘been there, done that’ in Quarterfinal 1. She has always been a popular favourite on the site and is more than ready to battle it out again in Quarterfinal 3 for her chance to win the £25,000 sponsorship prize.
