Hey everyone, this is Misa. Kina's still busy being in shock but you can bet she'll be back here soon to thank everyone! I know you must be disappointed to not hear from her first, but rest assured she'll be back, she still loves all of you and she has not forgotten who got her this far. I cannot tell you how excited we all are right now, and thank you all so much for your support (on her behalf)!!!
In the meantime, check out the front page of iTunes and buy the single so we can show Interscope what Kina's fans are made of!!!
-->Click here to buy the song!!! <--
All the love in the world,

Hi Misa!

Yep, I'm here in Phoenix! :)
-Misa
misa - congrats to kina AND you AND emi and all the grannises! She couldn't have done it without such a loving, supportive family!
(Also, I heard that kina originally thought that you were posting under the Gene Parmesan pseudonym. As if!!)
Haha yeah I saw the iTunes logo at the bottom and I was like no way is it already up. But sure enough the single was available. If we all buy it we can make it a top song too! All three of you girls must be really excited and probably very overwhelmed.
Not sure how long dorito's had this up but for the time being, here is dorito's making of Kina' video:

Awesome. And Congrats, gal. Ya did it.

Well the Patriots lost... that sucks :( but you won, and that's AWESOME! CONGRATULATIONS! :)
Congrats to all of you! I'm sure this is a huge high for you guys!

Congrats Kina! I'm off to buy your song on itunes!
Wow Kina, congratulations to you and winning the Superbowl ad spot!
I'll be honest, and I admit I hadn't heard of you until I saw the commercial, but afterwards, I was hooked!!!!
I'm buying your song on iTunes as we speak, and I hope your career gets even bigger from here :). I'll be sure to tell everyone about you
(although by now, who wouldn't have? You were on a SUPERBOWL commercial! Whoo!)
YES! you won! we here in the Chi are relieved that you won! hope for the best for you in the future! congrats kina!
-that was a message from my heart
Bought the single in the first fives minutes after the video aired. Hope it makes the top ten list cause it will.
congratulations, kina!!! i voted for you and i LOVE your work. you are a very beautiful person :) i was SO happy to see your video come up on tv tonight!! yayayayayayay!!! soooo happy!!!
-lisa in ottawa, canada.
Kina needs to get on iTunes plus! Protected AACs are the way of the past.
May the name "Kina Grannis" be remembered through the ages! I was so excited for you the last few seconds before the end of the 1st quarter that I almost felt like throwing up! GO KINA!!!!!!!!!!
me again - upset that the single is only available in the US itunes store, not in canada :( i wanted to buy it to support you!
@rack88:
Well, her label doesn't sell unprotected songs on iTunes, only Amazon (and the single's not there yet). E-mail Interscope/Universal and tell them how you feel. That kind of thing is out of Kina's hands from this point forward :(
look at all the artists that are signed with interscope reords. wow kina u are one lucky girl. good luck, don't forget about us please.
def already bought it!
awesome job Kina and congrats again!
Well done! We knew you could do it! Wish you the best, don't forget where you came from and just be yourself - you'll do just fine!
BTW, Glad they used the "heart" shape at the end. Wish they would have played the whole song, but never-the-less, it was the highlight of the night!
(Oh yeah, and the Giants won, too) ^_^
Congratulations... I think you deserved it.
OMG KINA YOU WON!! AHHH!!!!!! Dhruv and I all the rest of my friends started screaming when your song came on and we were like "SHES FROM MISSION VIEJO! SHE"S A USC GRADUATE! YAYYY GO KINAA!!" and we were pounding the table and everyone around us was like.. who is she??... hahah
aww, kina i'm so happy for you =)
don't forget us little people!
and you should totally have a celebration party back at home and invite all of mission viejo. haha
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EEEKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
You're the best, Misa, for keeping us all in the loop! What would the "Gotta Digg" song have been without you and Emi? The whole family is still busy FLIPPING OUT over here -- we can only imagine what's going on with you in Phoenix! Much love - Gabi
One of the first reviews of the commercial:
"9) Doritos Sing Along. The one straight commercial which didn't need schtick to make its point. The ad wasn't about the chip, but rather has a new singer, one Kina Grannis, doing her song, "Message From Your Heart." Very nice. A+"

Kina so happy for you. i first heard your work and found you on General H but I have quickly become a fan. Congrats.
So awesome Kina, well done. You had it in the bag the whole time.
Great work and it has been a mere success - you simply have the talent and make the most of it.
Keep your feet on the ground and keep on reaching for the stars!
I'm so happy for you!

Yay! So proud of you, congratulations from New Zealand :-) It's been a long day I had to wait until Monday to find out if you won.
Thanks to all your friends and family for for being so generous with their time and support - we all thank you for the privilege of Kina's time and energy over the past weeks.

avid supporter of you from the Maldives [google it ;)]
Congratulations Kina. ^^
I've followed you all the way, nice to see a good result.
Also, Hello Misa!
You've been missing for ages.
Thanks for the update Misa! Give Kina a big hug for us (that is if she's stopped jumping up and down by now)!
Just saw the note on kinagrannis.com. Just wanted to mention that the link below Kina's note is broken - it should be index2.php, not index2.html.
Good luck this week. :)
Congrats Kina we are ALL SO HAPPY for you!! That was so sweet of your sister to post something, as I am sure you are partying like a rock star now! lol
Good Luck Sweetie and ENJOY! You deserve everything you have coming to you!

Kina!
It’s MIKO – please read!
HI! CONGRATULATIONS!
You have no idea… how happy.. (wow I am getting all emotional/watery eye haha) wthell?! Hahaha
Anyways… yeah, you have no idea how I happy/joyful/excited/anxious I am to see where your music goes from here.
Right off the bat, some notes
1) I love football. I love the Superbowl. It’s a national holiday to me. where everyone gathers and just pigs out for the first time. Pigs out like a bunch of pigs! But the highlight (no joke) was the strum, that strumming sound I heard right as the last Doritos slide said “biggest stage possible…” before they EVEN showed your face, I KNEW YOU WON!
2) I got so emotional watching, I did not cry but I couldn’t smile any more wider??? Hahaha. Yeah… I as along with everyone on here I’m sure felt so involved with the win for you, a person we have never met face to face… I believe in your music so much! We all believe in your music so much! Any thrilling emotion people feel voting for an “American Idol” contestant they voted for from day 1 and seeing them win doesn’t compare to what I felt when I saw you win! How do I know?!?! Because I was a person who voted Kelly Clarkson all the way hahaha and it DID NOT compare hahahaha! I never would have made a vote for Kelly Clarkson rap video for sure!
3) Lastly! As you know, I CANNOT sing at all… and so as a million people are gonna flood youtube with their own rendition, and cover of AMERICA’S NEW NUMBER ONE HIT “Message from your heart” I spent last night working on my “CONGRATULATIONS CARD” for almost 5 hours (labor of love! Hahaha) no, this isn’t a cheesy “congratulations rap” at all… I decided to make this a tribute by hiphop-covering your song! I took the meaning I got out of your song and wrote a verse of my own… this took me over 5 hours… putting it all together hahaa, please watch! I got emotional making it hahahaha…
Godbless,
Miko

I AM SO HAPPY
Congratulations, Kina!! We knew you could do it! Can't wait to see more from you!
(PS - Hi Misa and Emi!)
Wow!!! Girl you have MAD skills! I searched the net for you after seeing the superbowl commercial and I can't wait to buy some of your music! Stay innocent!!! (Don't let the fame ruin ya)
I'll leave a real comment later! Know it's coming!
@Miko Can I get an .mp3 of the instrumental you used to create the remix. I want to remix your remix. I rap and (if you like it) maybe you could post another version featuring MSea. Hit me back.
Congratulations, Kina [and Grannis fambily!]! Everyone I watched the Superbowl with was amazed. The guy with a laptop there went and bought the single off of iTunes after the game was over... and I did the same when I got home. So happy for you!
@Miko: That cover... is surprisingly good. Nicely done!
WOW! i saw u on TV and all my friends and i loved it! haha..u were amazing during the superbowl!! im positive u have been hearing that sooo much but i jus had to tell u!
random awesome news link from ESPN
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs07/news/story?id=3229763
excerpt:
"NEW YORK -- The New York Giants' thrilling victory over the New England Patriots was the most-watched Super Bowl ever, with 97.5 million viewers, Nielsen Media Research said Monday."
ummmm, kina - ur music was just exposed to the most watched program ever... EVER... EVER...
"forEVERRR... forEVERRRR.."
-the sandlot
oh hahaha
CONGRATS!!!! This is going to sound crazy, but I've been following the contest for a while, and I was SO proud when your song came on!! Already bought my copy!! Way to go!!
@miko
told ya it would not be the pats or packers, it was the giants. and i knew it would be the most watched of all the potential matches because of the Week 17 game.
I can't even imagine what you all must feel like right now -- I'd love to hear a second-by-second report of what it was like there when the commercial came on, though ;-)
Many congratulations!
Kina Grannis-- You've just WON the Crash The Superbowl Contest! What are you gonna do NOW?
*Kina*
"I'm going to DISNEYLAND!!!"
==============
Congrats and Much Love to Kina and the Grannis family, we're ALL of us better off now with your music in the world.
Kina- Can't (hardly) wait for your next album... two of my favorites (Together and Cambridge) aren't available to buy yet.
With bated breath...
-wwar1ace
Well, I thought about another poem, the I wimped out.. I'm sorry I let you down... Maybe some other time though..
Any ways, I think Miko should be in charge of any thing poetic/rap/musically related from now on.... Hes got the skillz.. :)
Well I hope you had a great Super Bowl/celebration party! I cant wait to see what interesting things you have to say about the past, present, and future... Hope to hear from ya soon..
J.C.
@miko: not only that, the doritos ad was aired here in Canada as well, even MORE viewers!
hi kina, congrats on the Superbowl ad spot...saw you first in the bubbly cover video since we love that song here in the Philippines. Yes, I am writing this all the way from the Philippines. Hope to see more of your videos soon. congrats again! :)
I was in my office, working on a deadline, watching the Superbowl game on my WatchMan with a 1.5" X 1" screen in B&W when suddenly up popped MESSAGE FROM YOUR HEART!
CONGRATULATIONS KINA! Since the day I saw you at Irvine Spectrum my gut told me you were going places and going to touch millions of hearts. It feels so good to be right.
hey everyone, kina is #51 on the iTunes top songs only after 24 hours!
i'm sure i've topped my posting quota... but i can't help saying, how much does misa rock?! seriously, such supportive families are a precious asset. even for rock stars.
You won? I was unable to watch any of it. Congratulations! Not that I actually doubted. You won on my birthday! What an awesome birthday present, eh?
P.S. I ordered CDs like, a while ago. Did you send them?
Hmmm.. While you were out celebrating I took it upon my self to help figure out how to spend some of your prize money. =D
The thing I came up with that would benifit us all would be a smart phone. It would allow you to check up on your blog while you are on the run as well as help you stay organized with all your shows, tours, CD sales, etc..
Now, which type is the key.. I personally now have a iPhone, it's good, dare I say excellent, but i wouldn't say it is the best thing to type on. Another option would be a Sidekick. Yes they are kind of juvenile, but they have the best keyboard you will ever find on any phone out there. When I had a sidekick 3 sometimes I would type my school essays on it, its keyboard is just that amazing... And last but certainly not least, there is the Blackberry pearl. I have also owned this phone and it is truly excellent, the form factor is amazing, however its suretype keyboard is not the best to type on..
These are just a few opinions of mine that you might find helpful if you do decide to get a nice new phone.. Of course it also depends on what service provider you are using..
J.C.
P.S. Its entirely possible (probable) that you already have a smart phone, in which case I'll feel a little stupid.. :/
I loved the song, and I found the source, and I was listening to it and the others, and my roommate Alex walked in and said "Oh, is that that Kina?"
"yes...do you know her?"
"No, but--did you know Misa?"
"No"
"Oh, she was a 05" *gesturing behind him in our apartment* "Her boyfriend lived in that room"
I love small worlds
Kina,
I'm an old dog from the seventies but caught your Super Bowl promo and was hooked! What a Great sound.
I bought your iTunes song and the Sincerely Me Album to hold me over until you make another one.
God Bless you and your family with health, wealth and a straight path to the top of your profession.
Hey Misa!! You have a myspace...??
