One of Bonners Ferry's own talents is vying for
the chance to fulfill the dream of a lifetime,
the opportunity to share the stage with American
Idol winner and heartthrob Taylor Hicks, but
Amber Reed needs your help, and she needs it
quick!
 On
Sunday, Amber entered a video of her singing
Adele's "One and Only" to become a contestant in
a competition sponsored by the Clearwater River
Casino & Lounge, where the winner is to be
chosen partially based on the number of viewer
votes they get.
The only problem is, she waited until the last
minute, barely making the entry deadline, and
tomorrow, New Years Day, is the voting deadline
for those who'd like to help her see her dream
come true.
"Yes so I need lots of help today!" Amber said.
"Leave it to me to wait till the last day. Busy
mom schedule leaves little time for me."
Amber is no stranger to the stage; she performs
regularly at events around the community,
including on one of the world's smallest stages
at her Dad, Rick Reed's, famous comedy venue,
The Tower, the World's Smallest Comedy Club.
To cast your vote to put Amber on a stage much
larger than the Tower in its entirety, you need
to go to
http://www.crcidol.com/, where you'll be
able to get a gander at the contestants, and
there are a bunch, coming not only from Idaho,
but from Montana, Oregon and Washington as well.
It helps if you sort by "most recent."
Amber is way behind, too, so it's going to take
a truly concerted effort to put her over the
top. Since her video went up last night, she's
received five votes as of this morning. The
contest leader, whose entry has been online
considerably longer, has amassed 3,505 votes.
It's a long shot, but Boundary County folks
thrive under that kind of pressure.
If she wins, Amber will open for Hicks, who won
the fifth season of American Idol in 2006 and
has gone on to become one hot artists of the
day, at a concert at the Clearwater River
Casino & Lounge in Lewiston on Saturday, January
11.
Three judges will make the final selection this
Friday.
"HELP ME out peeps ... I need ya!" Amber pleads. |
