the day we have all been waiting for...

i am so sorry i have been so absent this week! i've been wanting to get on and read through and reply to all your comments all week but things have been completely crazy and nonstop. i don't have time to look over them today but i just wanted to stop in briefly before the big moment to re-emphasize how completely grateful i am to have been supported by such an amazing community of people. thank you all so much for all of your encouragement and support and i please know that regardless of the outcome, things will be going up, and having made it this far is winning enough for me.

i'll be back soon!

No need to apologize :)

Heck, we've been adding to the mountain of stuff you have to read

aside from the over 100 comments from your last posting, I'd hate to see how many messages you have to go through on MySpace and Facebook :O

[sorry for adding to the Facebook clutter]

It is absolutely the day we've been waiting for! But we also can't wait to hear about the Counting Crows show and sing along to the next song you'll share. By the way, it's the other Vancouver - so when your tour brings you to Portland, Oregon (just across the river), I'm buying front row tickets so I can waive to your camcorder!

I second what Deana said and can't wait until tonight. I'm going to TiVo the entire game, pre- and post- just so I don't miss one second. I just wish the football game wasn't in the way. :)

Man, I'm going to have trouble sleeping today (I work nights) wondering about the Super Bowl results, eesh. Well here's to hoping talent equals success ;)

Can't wait to hear the collaboration you did with Landon & Nivla! Oh, and I think they're doing something after the first quarter that might be of interest too ;)

I seriously could not sleep last night. I'm so excited for you!!
here's hoping! *all fingers crossed*

Kina,

Today is THE day. Knock 'em dead, Kid. (Suddenly I feel like I belong in the rat pack)

Can't wait to a video tomorrow all about it. Do me a favor; don't have wardrobe, not a good idea for the younger fan base.;-)

I'll be back to congratulate you later,

Alan

Kina deserves the best. Cross those toes, people. Cross those toes!

Kina! I can't wait!!!! The suspense is killing me, I know I probably won't be able to see the commercial because I'm over here in Taiwan, but I will be spending as much time as I can so that I can find out when you win.

the sun is shining and the grass is green (under the 3 ft of snow i mean) this is a day where it's hard to where a frown!

everything is coming up kina!

we love you kina! YAAAAAAAAAAY!

jRo =D

p.s.
so i hear there's some other contest called the superbowl in addition to your big day; i guess i'll watch that too haha =P

I'm not flexible enough to cross my toes :(

not that I'd need to, she doesn't need luck to win this ;)

(I'll cross an extra pair of fingers)

@amy - thank you, thank you for posting that link. that's all i need is to get more excited about this!! haha, there's also another interview with the 3 finalists -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7Fm18MYP54

Woohoo todays the day!!! I bet your week has been crazy...and once you win, it will probably become even more crazy...cause we all know you are gonna win!!!

 
At February 3, 2008 12:55 PM , Blogger wwar1ace said...

Wow.... just a few hours to go. I'm not sure who is more anxious, Kina- or Kinanation.

As for wondering how it is possible to have so many super-positive people in one place?

To me, it's like watching your favorite feel-good movie (and you all got one), where the story is great, and the protagonist's character makes you just want to jump in and help them in any way you can... because you know they HAVE to make it.

I felt that way since listening to Song1. Any one else with me?

Oh... also because we want more of your music; positive support seemed like a good way to get it. We COULD hold a puppy ransom for 1 song/week, but this works out better. They get big after a while and eat you out of house & home. ;-)


See you in a few hours.

i dont think its good either way for the patriots, if they win the media will blown this belicheck year suspension and the cheating scandal way out of proportions. if they lose it will be oh they couldnt win because they couldnt cheat, point is they will be haunted forever like barry bonds. cheaters never prosper

God Bless You Kina Grannis! It's only because of you and the commercials i suppose AND the parties and food I will stuff myself with, I will be tuning in to the Superbowl. Because of the legitimacy of the game in this case the cheating Patriots which some have brought to attention even a huge football fan like myself am not that interested in the NFL anymore. I'm ready to jump up and down and make a fool of myself when I see you on T.V.! That would surely make it a Super Sunday! If it doesnt happen at least Super Tuesday is coming!

@Amy & deana - Thanks for the links! I'm pumped!

Kina and the other 2 were just on the fox pre-game. Hope everyone saw it! It was just a minute or two of all of them, and I'm sure it'll be on YouTube. It's almost here!!!!!

Ok, I'm back (again)... I just realized that not only do you get a record deal with Interscope you also get $10,000. Whilst this is but a pebble in the pond from whats to come, I'm curious, what do you plan on spending your newfound wealth on? I personally suggest a nice vacation... You deserve it :)

I am eagerly awaiting tomorrows blog post, however, I wont be too upset if its a little late as I think some partying tonight might be called for... =D
