Archuleta at Stadium of Fire?
America’s Freedom Festival at Provo officially released today the final online poll for the Stadium of Fire’s “Vote the Voice” event.
After aggressive grassroots and viral lobbying among thousands of fans, the community may now choose between David Archuleta, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Bon Jovi and Eric Dodge to become a potential performer in a future July 4 Stadium of Fire celebration.
Fans must visit the Freedom Festival’s Facebook page to access a link to the new online ballot. Over 15,000 votes have been cast since Oct. 15 to narrow the list of favorite contenders to five. The new online poll of five names is comprised of leading nominees from the last two phases of the Freedom Festival’s “Vote the Voice” campaign—an ongoing vote held since September on the festival’s Twitter and Facebook pages.
Apparently, David Archuleta fans dominated Twitter discussions about Vote the Voice. Their lobbying for the American Idol runner-up was so relentless, one of the largest David Archuleta fan pages on Twitter took notice and encouraged its thousands of followers to get involved.
Members of the community should visit the Freedom Festival’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/freedomfestival to learn more about how to vote for their favorite performers. Fans can also stay up to date with Vote the Voice on Twitter at www.twitter.com/freedmfestprovo.
Stadium of Fire lets fans vote for headliner
PROVO — Stadium of Fire fans want the 2010 headliner for the popular Fourth of July event to be either David Archuleta, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Bon Jovi or Eric Dodge.
At least that’s the list that resulted from an online poll that has solicited 15,000 votes since Oct. 15 to narrow 27 potential performers down to five, prompting the question: Who is Eric Dodge? (For the answer, see www.ericdodge.com.)
Chad Mustard of Blue Helm Communications, who is working with America’s Freedom Festival at Provo to promote the event, said fans of the southern-Utah-born country singer had coordinated their efforts to get Dodge in the final five, despite his relative anonymity.
The Freedom Festival is now asking fans to vote for one of the five finalists on its Facebook page, www.facebook.com/freedomfestival, before Jan. 1. But the top vote-getter isn’t guaranteed to appear at the Freedom Festival in 2010.
“We haven’t made a promise,” Mustard said. “But I think good choices are there.”
He said the effort to involve the public in selecting this year’s performer has been successful in at least one area: “People are talking about the Stadium of Fire in November, which is great for us,” he said.
