About Beantown Rising Star

Hot97Boston’s morning show is launching a year long search for Boston’s next big star. Boston has produced many of urban music icons such as Donna Summers, New Edition, New Kids on the Block, amongst many others. Hosted by morning show hosts Notorious V.O.G. along with co-hosts Lady V., B.Shakes, and Lady Love empowers contestants and listeners to share their voices in deciding who will be the next Beantown Rising Star. This radio talent competition takes place every Thursday on Boston’s Hot 97 Boston urban radio station, live online at www.hot97boston.com and broadcasting on 87.7fm locally.

New England in particular has a tremendous amount of talent and every years New Englanders struggle to find ways to showcase their talents weather its rapping, singing, acting, comedy, or something else in the arts. Well, every Thursday morning on Hot97Boston is Beantown Rising Stars – where the show's judges – Notorious V.O.G., Lady V., Bobby Shakes, Lady Love, and the listeners search for the next Beantown Rising Star.

Initially each contestant submits a radio edit song consisting of original lyrics and production and each week contestants are winnowing down by competing against each other to form a select group of local artists who will sing and rap their hearts out each Thursday for the entire world and listening audience of Hot97Boston. During round two contestants will be invited live on the air for interview and live audition.  The eventually finalists will compete live in front a of a live Hot97Boston audience for the title of Beantown Rising Star 2010.

The on-air radio judges have their say after every song is played on the radio program, then the phone lines are opened up to the listeners to call in and volte and voice their opinions on each contestant and song. Although the radio judges have a big part in determining the week to week winners, it’s the listeners who will ultimately decide who will become Beantown Risings Star 2010. Voting is done via telephone calls during Notorious In the Morning & the Breakfast Club and online at www.hot97boston.com immediately after each morning show, and the results are announced during the following Rising Star Thursday radiocast.

Eventually the competition is narrowed down to three finalists who compete for a major recording/production contract with Pipeline Studios, with produced song added to regular rotation at Hot97Boston, and the title of Beantown Rising Star 2010.
