Country Contemporary Christian Music singing contest lets you pick the winner

TheNetStar.comhttp://thenetstar.com/country_contemporary_christian.php is hosting an online singing contest and you get to vote for the winner.

There are five contestants remaining, and the top three spots have switched drastically during the weekend.

Lisa Illobre, of Lebanon, Tennessee, has risen from third to first place with 1,269 votes.

Martine Kelsey, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, has dropped to second place from first with 1,094 votes.

Cheryl Lynn Moore, of Denton, Texas, has dropped from second to third place with 623 votes.

"Desperado," is what Illobre chose to sing for session one and Kelsey sings, "Face To Face".

Moore sings, "Who I am", a song she wrote herself.

"This song I wrote, "Who I am", is probably the closest to my heart. I hope it touches you in a special way," Moore said.

Personally, I listened to Moore sing her beautiful song over and over. It touched me. It meant something to me. I hope it touches you, too.

I hope you take a minute out of your busy day and cast a vote for her beautiful voice before she loses her chance at a recording contract. She should be singing God's word to the masses.

It is very important, for your vote to count, you must complete the voting process by confirming your vote in your email.

The winner gets to record with Grammy award winning musicians and engineers and an internationally acclaimed producer in a state-of-the-art studio. A package worth more than $75,000.

Moore said on The Net Star, "I know that each one of my fellow contestants not only have amazing voices and talents, but also have a dream. Mine is not more important than yours. I am praying for God's will to be accomplished in each of our lives, regardless of what the final outcome is for this contest. I pray that each one of you would always remember the gift that God has blessed you with, hold on to that, choose the right thing to do in every situation and you will always come out a winner. Keep on singing!

"Remember, there will always be someone better than you, but there is only one of you. Celebrate you and live life accountable. In the end this is who you are," Moore concluded.

The song really touched me too - it's something so many of us can identify with. Cheryl Lynn definitely has a gift for putting those unexpressable emotions into song. Here's a little "fun fact" about Cheryl Lynn: She's a stay-at-home Mom who doesn't stay home! She spends her days bringing little gifts to those who need a pick-me-up (literally - EVERY day), helping her husband with his business, and raising their three beautiful girls. (And we try to fit shopping into our schedules, too! She probably gives away a minimum of HALF of everything she buys - when I say she's a "star" on earth, I'm not exaggerating.) Whether or not she wins this contest, I know the Lord has big plans for her!
