Texsox Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Voting has begun for the 2007 Chicago Music Awards. Deadline is January 10th. Pop Entertainer of the Year includes an amazingly talented friend of mine, Joan Hammel along with Jennifer Hudson, Kanye West, R. Kelly, and Ladi Lyke. The awards encompass a wide range of music, venues, and productions. As you can imagine, against some "names" Joan probably doesn't stand a chance, but to be nominated a couple years in a row is something to be proud of. We went to college together and she was my Feature Editor when I was Managing Editor of my college paper. I have had the pleasure of listening to her for the past couple of decades and hearing her voice mature and depth grow is really neat.

Most of the voting seems to be live shows and other works, not just album or song of the year stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I see. i'd still prefer to see our artist of the year go to someone not as well known to get more notoriety. Maybe if kanye had first broken on the scene, but it looks like they were thrown on there for credibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
