CHRIS A MEGASTAR IN THE MAKING
THE state election isn’t the only poll Gold Coast voters are being urged to support.
From 7am today, music lovers can help turn a local musician into an overnight megastar by voting for his performances in a groundbreaking global talent search that carries a first prize purse of $1 million.
Singer and musician Chris Black is on the verge of securing a place in the December 14 grand finale of Megastar, a mobile-first talent contest being overseen by US star and judge Usher.
Black’s soulful vocals on tracks including Sam Smith’s Too Good at Goodbyes have struck a chord with Megastar voters and propelled him through the contest’s early rounds.
Fans who download the Megastar app on their mobiles have 48 hours to vote for Black’s latest video and keep him in the contest.
“I have a really big chance to potentially take this thing out,” he said.
