Yeah, my family told me about this on 10/10 and I checked out the site--I emailed them immediately and asked What exactly is the prize?? I don't get it--you just basically sing for free and they just house you for 2 1/2 weeks

oh well, I'm desperate, over the hill and I can crack a few jokes, I'll go for it

I hired the videographers-=we're shootin saturday

Brian,
Your singing is fabulous, and you could pass for Vince Gill. Hope you're the winner.
Jan in Va.

#12 — November 11, 2002 @ 11:35AM — JANELLE

I didn't find out about the contest until too late. I'd really like to give it a shot. Will there be a "Today's Superstar II"? I really hope so.
Thank you,

#14 — November 14, 2002 @ 13:38PM — Krys Griffey

Dan,
I thought your performance today was outstanding. I vote for you. I could not find the site to vote so hopefully you still get my vote. You should be the superstar.

Krys

#15 — November 15, 2002 @ 11:16AM — Pamela Bordeaux

My husband and I think Brian Lee is the next superstar! He has a beautiful voice and a great personality and deserves to win!

brian lee, we hope you win.we feel that your voice is inspiritrational,a voice that is calming and soothing to millions.we would also enjoy hearing you sing gossel songs.good luck on a beautiful voice and a new career.george and sarah

#17 — November 17, 2002 @ 09:58AM — Lisa Johnson

I think Kelly and Rose should be in the finals. Dan should have been voted off a long time ago. Maybe a panel of qualified people should make up the next voting.

#18 — November 18, 2002 @ 12:03PM — MELISSA

DANNY YOU CAN REALLY, REALLY SING. I HOPE YOU WIN. I MEAN CRISTY IS GOOD, BUT NOT ALL THAT GREAT. I WISH YOU THE BEST--WINNING AND A MUSIC CAREER. AGAIN, YOU WERE AWESOME!!!!!GOOD LUCK!!!

I COULD NOT FIND THE SITE TO VOTE. I WOULD LIKE TO VOTE FOR DAN. HE HAS HAD SOME TOUGH SONGS TO SING AND HAS DONE A GREAT JOB. ALSO HIS STAGE PERFORMANCE IS SO GOOD. HE ISN'T JUST UP THERE SINGING A SONG. HE MAKES YOU FEEL THE SONG. HE SINGS WITH HIS VOICE AND HIS BODY. CHRISTY IS GOOD, BUT SHE DOESN'T MAKE YOU FEEL THE SONG. GREAT JOB DAN !!! I'D BUY YOUR RECORDS!!! MY VOTES FOR DAN.

#24 — October 28, 2003 @ 09:38AM — chad

I'm sick and tired of the singers,record companies pick.
Heres a clue they all sound the same
give it up, start giving unique voices a chance.

#25 — October 28, 2003 @ 10:10AM — Cathy

I would like to vote but can,t bring up
the site to do so. today.msnbc.com does
not bring up voting, only the rules and
about the past winner.
Can you help?

#26 — December 3, 2003 @ 13:08PM — Jennifer McElwain

Iwould like to know if today on the show with Harry Connick Jr. the gentleman name Jimmy Grant is the son of Grant Green. because the musicplayed in the background is called sookie sookie by Grant Green.
