Tom's Vlog: Tiny Sheep and Six-Legged Cows

Friday, March 19th, 2010

So, some of you will have noticed that Tom’s Vlog has been missing for the last couple of weeks. Mainly because we’ve all been extremely busy working towards Boot Camp, Backstories and the 3rd Quarterfinal.

However, he’s back this week with a BIGGER, FUNNIER, MORE EXCITING* episode of his wondrous vlog. Today, Tom gives us a mini run down on all things Quarterfinal and takes a look at a lost lamb and malformed cows. (Where does he get this stuff from?!)

Anyway, check it and don’t forget to rate, comment, subscribe and the one that everyone forgets; favourite!

*It’s actually pretty much the same…

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.

Just for the record. . .

Friday, March 12th, 2010

It’s Friday! So, we’re feeling a little silly here at the 1Click offices. (It’s allowed, because it’s Friday). Anyway, we stumbled across an article today which immediately caught our attention. Sleeveface is a book by Carl Morris and John Rostron where they tell us to “Be The Vinyl.”

The idea is that you pick any record sleeve you like and re-enact the image anyway you want to. There are some amazingly creative ones and one rule applies: NO PHOTOSHOP, or any other digital tweaking. You can take a look at some of these here, on their website, www.sleeveface.com. Our favourite has got to be this one! And, we couldn’t resist but to make our own as well. We raided the office and found this rare 1982 single by Neil Young, “Sample and Hold,” once edited by our very own Head of Music at 1Click2Fame, John Ingham.

Let us know if you come up with any crazy ideas!

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!)

True Belieber

Monday, March 8th, 2010

There are two things we love here at 1Click. That’s Twitter and Justin Bieber. “Why?” We hear you ask. We love tweeting! We tweet all day, every day about things that we’re doing and sometimes (most of the time) things that are completely irrelevant. And Justin, well it’s no wonder really, he became famous through the 1Click way! Justin began uploading his performance videos onto YouTube a couple of years ago and became a sensation! So, when the two combine, we just can’t contain our excitement.

Our video parody of the original “3 year old crying over Justin Bieber” caught Justin’s attention on Friday and he enjoyed it so much that he decided to tweet it! He even posted it on his Facebook. So, if you haven’t seen it yet then, WHY NOT?! Watch it now, at once!

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…
