  1. Just wanted to say thanks to all my fans, friends and family who support my music in so many ways. Thanks for remembering to vote for me each day. Also to my beautiful sister Lucy who asked many of her school friends to check out my music and if they liked it to vote for me. It’s humbling to know so many of you took the time. To the other artists your music rocked.
    Peace, Love and Light

  2. by the way, how arrogant of you to say, “I always say these thing don’t be real, and I’m right about it.” yeh…righty-o then.

    *rolls eyes*

  3. what was so unreal about it, alice? is it really unfathomable for these artists to have friends and fans to consistently vote for them on a regular basis? i, along with many other people voted for caitlin almost every day. why is this concept so hard for some people to grasp?

  4. I feel that your voting was not done right. Just think about the two young lady getting points the way they did. It just unreal. I always say these thing don’t be real, and I’m right about it. This comment is for the people who have the magazine. Thank you

  5. Hands down RNB’s voice is hot! The song is very commercial and catchy – I can hear it on a major radio station alongside all hit songs out now.
