EdgeMusic Artist Of The Year Preliminary Round #4

So right now, we are running a special contest called the EdgeMusic Artist of the Year Faceoff. This contest decides who was the best EdgeMusic winner of the entire year. Our first annual Faceoff took place in 2008. We had 12 preliminary rounds, 3 semi-final rounds, and one final round. Above All Else was declared the champion this past January.

The official contest for 2009 began back in April. We ran four preliminary rounds in the middle of April, choosing four semi-finalists. We usually begin our preliminaries right at the end of each month while the winners were still fresh off of their reign. The January preliminaries were the first to be held, followed by the February preliminaries, then the March preliminaries, and then the April preliminaries being the latest.

However, the winner of the April preliminaries was Hinder, whose reign actually began on March 29th and ended on April 5th. We usually sort the preliminaries by the beginning of each winner's reign, so Hinder was disqualified. But Kelly Clarkson (March 8 - 15, 2009) was allowed to remain a semi-finalist when Hinder's votes were compared to the results of the March preliminaries. Kelly will participate in the semi-finals at the end of the year along with Locksley (January 4 - 11, 2009) and Seymoure (February 8 - 15, 2009). But the April preliminaries only received 2 votes, with Hinder winning unanimously. The 3 winners from April lost to a winner whose reign began in March.

So today, the April preliminaries will be redone. This round will last the whole day, and it will include all the winners from April except the winners from the Bamboozle contest, as that week had 7 winners, but they will have a big surprise ahead of them. For now, here are our candidates:

*The Airborne Toxic Event (April 5 - 12, 2009)

*The Chuck Shafer Picture Show (April 12 - 17, 2009)

*Junior Doctor (April 17 - 26, 2009)

The poll closes at 11 PM EST tonight. To vote, go to our MySpace profile, or you can vote on here:
