To be fair, please watch all the contests’ videos before voting in the poll at the bottom of the post.

Voting will end on March 29th, which is when we will announce the winners. Good luck!

1) Stephanie Ciotta
Singing “Hole in My Heart” by Alphabeat

Stephanie is 19 years old. Though she attends school in Boston, she was born and raised in New York. She loves music and hopes to pursue a career in the field later on. Enjoy her cover of the song “Hole in My Heart” by Alphabeat! She actually spliced together video of her singing both of the parts! Neat!

2) Jack Savige
Short Film -- “Don’t Stop Believin’”

Jack is 19 years old, from Melbourne, Australia and currently studying screenwriting. He made a hilarious video based on the concept of three Glee fans writing an episode for the premiere of Glee‘s second season. It is hilarious and definitely shows off his talent for film making! When deciding who to vote for, remember: W.W.C.C.D.?

3) Mary Pascoe
Singing “Mercedes Benz” by Janis Joplin

Mary lives in Los Angeles, California, and submitted a video of a live performance she did there. She’s both an actress and a singer-songwriter. She plays the guitar, trumpet, and piano, and even self-produced an album called “Who Brings a Cat to the Disco?”! Enjoy her lively rendition of “Mercedes Benz” by Janis Joplin!

4) Cara-Lynn Branch
Painting…

Cara-Lynn Branch is 21 years old and lives in Canada. She writes books, lyrics & scripts for musicals. Despite her major in musical theater, the talent she chose to display is more unique. Describing it just as “painting” doesn’t do it justice. Just watch it. If you don’t appreciate it, then you aren’t a true Gleek! XD

5) Celeste Kamiya
Singing “A Case of You” by Joni Mitchell

Celeste lives in San Francisco, California and has been a huge Glee fan since the first 2 seconds of the pilot. Also a huge fan of the Broadway musical Spring Awakening, she enjoys singing, acting, and dancing. Although she’s too young to audition for Glee, I think you’ll love her version of “A Case of You” by Joni Mitchell that she sang for our Gleek Talent Showcase.

6) Steven Karunphand
Singing “Ordinary People” by John Legend

Steven Karunphand is from Belleville, New Jersey. He’s 21 years old and currently attending college at Fordham University in New York. For our contest, he sang “Ordinary People” by John Legend. Enjoy!

7) Rebecca Michelson
Singing “Terrified” by Kara DioGuardi & an Original Song

Rebecca goes to school in Boston, but lives just outside of Philadelphia. She’s a freshman in college and loves to sing, play the guitar and play the piano. She says that she secretly wants to be on Broadway someday, but has major nerves. Maybe one day! Enjoy an original song about her love of Glee, a Kara DioGuardi song and a bit of piano playing.

8) Jean Ryan Escalante
Singing “Swallowed in the Sea” by Coldplay, a cappella

Jean is 22 years old and his hometown is Yellowknife, NT in Canada. He’s currently attending Vancouver Film School. His musical background includes three years in his high school’s choir, one semester in concert band, and a supporting role in a musical with a solo. Also, he gets a lot of vocal practice by singing in the shower every day. Here’s his a cappella version of “Swallowed in the Sea” by Coldplay.

9) Katherine Paige
Singing “Someone to Watch Over Me” by Gershwin.

Paige is 14 years old and lives in Bakersfield, California. Recently she played the role of Mrs. Potts in a production of Beauty & The Beast, and although she’s too young to audition for Glee, she sent us a video of her singing “Someone to Watch Over Me” by Gershwin. Enjoy!

10) Elena Dudum
Singing “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles

Elena is 17 years old, lives in San Francisco, California and is Palestinian-American. She loves being in musical theater productions, both in her school and with local theater companies. When she isn’t singing, she enjoys designing and sewing her own line of clothing. For our contest, she sang “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles. [Warning: the audio's a little quiet, so you may want to turn your volume up.]

Cast your votes!

In the spirit of Glee, please do NOT spam vote by voting a ton of time for one person. Every voter should vote once, selecting all the contestants that they’d like to win. Let’s keep this contest as fair as possible, so it’s truly the most talented person winning, not just the person that got the most spam votes. Thank you very much and good luck to all the contestants! :)
