A NOTE FROM THE BAND:
Thank you to everyone who faithfully voted & supported us throughout the entire contest! Also, we'd like to thank the whole Opening Act and Audacy team for treating us so well.
Special thanks to Che Brooks for running tracks, and our whole family for all your support! We couldn't have pulled this off without all of you and our BIG God!
I love this so much
This is beautiful guys! We just found out we got selected for consideration. It seems they are doing it differently this year
Thank you! That’s awesome you’re in the contest! We wish you well this year. Lots of talent out there forsure.
I can’t believe they even put BLACK EYED PEAS, Sawtiee. We just spoke with their team. WILL Iam assitant sarah. Who works with LIVENATION. She’s aware of this competition is fake & is about to send them a cease & desist for mentioning artists that they have not opened for or have come close to.

This is a scam, these artists have been paid to do this video. I found out, through a colleague who work for AMERICAN suicide . They came out w the truth. They paid them to make this video , so that they could fool upcoming artists and push for votes & have their own group get on board The lies said is really unbearably sad for upcoming musicians . You can push with your money all you want . Your going nowhere they already have who they want to select it’s all made up , to support the artist who they have already selected , the artist selected gets paid to do this with all your money . This is 2022 guys please don’t get scammed anymore.
Brilliant and wise words of faith. Always listen to that inner voice! Congratulations Young in a Million and marvellous documentary
