Colgate toothpaste puts together a country music competition every year through out the entire nation for country music singers who arent discovered the chance to get noticed. This year was the 27th anniversary of the country music competition and I drove to Marietta Ohio to watch the East Coast Finals, where the winner would get to appear on national television and play for 100,000 dollars.
The competition was in the Marietta High school auditorium, the sounds crew set did an amazing job helping the house band set up and helped each singer by giving them a great PA to sing on.
The show went on at 6pm and the radio station involved broadcasted live so everyone could listen to the people singing on air.
The night was cold and there were alot of poeple packing into the auditorium to listen to thier favorite contestant. The radio DJ's were throwing out shirts and frisbee's as well as a surprise guest performance from grammy award winning country artist "confederate railroad".
Each contestant went on and did a great job! It looked like a tight contest because every single act was just as good as the other. But in the end, Korey Blake from the state of Kentucky took the trophy and was thrilled for the opprotunity he has just won. He is 17 years old and on his way to the top. He won a all expence paid trip to Nashville TN. and will appear on national television to compete againts 4 others winners from arround the nation for the title of the "best new act in country music"
