According to independent research conducted by Headphase Media, both potential contestants of the popular television talent show and viewers are ready to look elsewhere for their chances at both fame and entertainment. While the show still commands incredible popularity and quite a loyal following, many have begun to look online or at alternate entertainment sources to see the next big star born To this end, a new online singing contest will be launched on February 28, 2009 called “Sensational Singer 2009”, with the winner receiving an Xbox 360 prize package.
The ratings for the ever popular television show (a 10% drop) suggest that less people are tuning in to watch contestants perform, and even less are turning out to vote. “This data suggests that more and more viewers have grown too accustomed to the show during its run, and tire of it. We live in an on-demand society in 2009. Everyone has a lot going on, and we want our entertainment to be on our own terms. DVRs, movies on demand, and streaming online video are rapidly advancing, adding further proof that on demand is the wave of the future.” says Dave Orlowski of Headphase Media.
In combination with the book “Be the Next Singing Sensation”, written by Dr. Oh, Headphase Media will be launching the Sensational Singer 2009 contest, which will be held online from February 28, 2009 to May 1, 2009. With a much lower entry standard than previous contests or its televised counterpart, the Sensational Singer contest is available to US and Canadian residents alike. There is no prejudging or screening of talent to enter – which means singers of all talent levels have an equal chance at winning.
“We're very excited to launch this contest on February 28th because it marks a new chapter in online singing contests. The mere fact that anyone who enters has an excellent chance to win is a rather new concept in singing competitions.”
Prizes for contestants of the online singing contest includes an Xbox 360 console (60GB), autographed copy of Lips for the Xbox 360, iTunes and Amazon gift cards, autographed merchandise, and autographed books. The Sensational Singer 2009 contest is at http://www.sensationalsinger.com.
Headphase Media was started in 2008 as a web media publisher, specializing in ebook distribution and promotion.
