My sister is competing in The Voice of McDonald's

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

She will go to Orlando, Florida to compete in their competition. So, no not a concert.

If she wins she will get $25,000. And if she wins the fan voting this round she get an extra $5,000.

It seems to be a pretty big deal. They gave us a bunch of flyers advertising her so people will go vote. They are also putting them up in local businesses and are set to put up, I think, three billboards telling people to vote for her.

But what happens then? Does she do commercials or something? (I’m hung up on why this is focused on singing.)

I don't actually know. :-k I'll have to ask my sister. I guess they mostly do this contest to promote McDonald's (not that they really need to >_>)

Oh, I didn’t even think of that. :P Sure, this could just be a competition for the purpose of holding a competition. I was thinking that they must be looking for a singer for something.

My family is holding a voting party for my sister tonight from 7 to 9pm (EST). It is where we get people to get together to vote nonstop for two hours. Our goal is 4,000 votes tonight.

If you would like to vote along with us during this time (even if it is just for 15 minutes straight) that would be really cool. \:D/ You can tally your votes and let me know your total so I can add them to our total votes.

This is exactly why I can’t take anything with unlimited voting seriously.

I feel the same way. But I guess it is unlimited because they probably wouldn't get many votes otherwise. *shrugs*

If you could vote unlimited, can't a bot do the same thing? :anxious:

Just because something's against the rules doesn't necessarily stop it from happening :p I voted, but I forgot. .was there a Captcha to fill out in order to vote?

You have to type a series of numbers to finalize your vote, yes.

We are having another voting party tonight. =] It would be great if you all could vote at least 25 times a day (it literally only takes five minutes)..or if anything 5 times a day (which only takes ONE MINUTE). Click here to vote.

Here is another cover she did:

Yesterday we created a facebook event for the last voting party for my sister. \:D/ I am asking you all to help us out by joining us. We want to make sure all our votes were worth it! So PLEASE, help us out tomorrow!
The voting polls END on Monday, December 2nd for the Voice of McDonald's!!! WE will NOT be able to vote for Sarah Beasley after Monday! BUT the polls aren't closed yet! I think it's time for this competition to see the VOTING POWER OF SARAH'S FANS!!!

The goal is 20,000 VOTES in one day - Sunday!!!!

PLEASE, we NEED YOU to spend one day to vote as many times as possible!! Invite your friends, family, and friends of friends to this event. WE NEED at least a THOUSAND PEOPLE INVITED! We can do it!

HERE'S WHAT TO DO:

1. INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO VOTE ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 1ST!

2. SUNDAY GRAB A COMPUTER, OR PHONE, and VOTE!!! It doesn't matter where you vote! If you can't vote all day, at least vote 50 times!!! Statistically, it takes ten minutes.

3. TALLEY YOUR VOTES! We must have exact numbers.

4. WHEN THE EVENT ENDS AT 11:30 (EST) SUNDAY NIGHT, post your total number of votes for the day below.


"Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success." ~Henry Ford
20,000 thousand isn't too far fetched either. We've reached 10,000 with only 17 people before.

So, Let me go over some encouraging statistics:
If 200 people dedicate themselves to voting, each person only needs to vote a 100 times to reach our goal of 20,000. Only a 100 times!!! Sunday is tomorrow and time is running out. Invite your friends. THE MORE THE EASIER!


You can vote by clicking this link: http://www.voiceofmcdonalds.com/voting/sarah_beasley
