At OurStage, the site is just as much about the fans as it is about the artists. They need each other to stay busy and happy; fans need artists to listen to and artists need an audience! That’s why we ask fans to judge the music the way we do. We also want to help real fans have an even bigger voice on the site. This is the reason we launched “You Be The Judge: Fan Picks”. In these posts, we’ll feature an active fan on the site with an impressive and honest judging history. This month’s featured fan is Cathie Fredrickson.
Stats: 4 Judging Excellence Badges as a fan, 1 Channel win and 2 Top Ten placements as an artist.
Bio: Cathie is a music and animal lover from Fergus Falls, Minnesota. She’s quite humble about her own music, which she uses as a positive tool in her life since going through some very rough times. She says, “I love finally being able to share with others in music, the language of the heart.”
We asked Cathie to pick her 3 favorite tracks in the June Semifinals that she’d love to see win. These were the ones she liked best. Check them out!
“This is an exceptional example of Spoken Word, combining both top notch musical production, heartfelt vocals and lyrical content depicting the ongoing struggles of the People of Africa that I believe needs to be heard around the world.”
“Her vocals are pure as silk, clear and vibrant with a hint of accent!!!! The song is a very relatable story of keeping oneself safe, but are you really….?”
“She is the future of our continued music for the world to hear. Awesome in all respects, positive energetic vocal delivery, great original lyrics and an awesome instrumentalist and performer!!!!!”
Thanks Cathie! Stay tuned for more Fan Picks in the future!
