Hello everyone. Thank you all for helping Jordan win February's YouTube contest in both the Awesome Musician and Awesome Channel categories. They're every month this year, so I've updated the links below for March. I know it's tedious to vote every 20 minutes, but just a few votes help whenever you have a little time to spare. 
Jordan Jansen is an 11-year-old singer who lives in Australia and needs your help to win three contests. You can hear his songs by clicking on the videos below, or by visiting this link to hear a lot of songs he's been experimenting with to test his range: http://www.youtube.com/user/jordanjansenmusic. Would you please help vote for him?
Soundcheck contest (can vote once a day): http://www.soundcheck.com.au/showEntry.do?entryId=1708
YouTube contests (can vote every 20 minutes) - Jordan is being voted on at the following links:
~ 1st one says jordanjansenmusic AND littlecherubs above pic so please vote for both for Jordan as a musician - http://tweeter.faxo.com/Top_YouTube_Musician/2010/03
~ 2nd one says jordanjansenmusic AND littlecherubs above pic so please vote for both of Jordan's YouTube channels - http://tweeter.faxo.com/Top_YouTube_Channel/2010/03
~ 3rd one says JordanRicqui (Jordan's Twitter account name) and is for Jordan as a musician also as this one allows people to vote from Twitter as well, but you can also vote here without signing onto Twitter - http://tweeter.faxo.com/Musician_of_the_Month?page=3
If you enjoy Jordan's music, would you please help vote for him to keep him at, or get him to, the top spot(s)? You can vote every 20 minutes!
You can also add a video at both links, so if there's someone you'd like to enter (your own channel or music, for instance) those links are where you add them. You can vote for as many as you wish too, so while you're voting for Jordan, you can vote for yourself too, so if it's fame you seek, perhaps you too will end up in YouTube's Hall of Fame. 
What I do is keep a tab open for each of those links while I'm doing my homework and keep going back to vote so while you're browsing the web, why not do the same thing so you can get the votes up? Fame could be just around the corner. Woo.
