It's funny, in one of my classes today the teacher played the ads that aired yesterday and your song was one of them. I sat for a second wondering if I should have said something since the whole class had a "who the hell is she" expression on their faces. Although they enjoyed the song. Congrats.

Ohh ... you're at the top of the "Latest Media" section of the Interscope front page right now ... right near Sheryl Crow and others.

Congrats with all the superstar success you're bound to have!! Shhhh - Don't tell Landon and Nivla, but we all knew you were going to win :)

Congratulations Kina :) I usually lurk around your blog, but I suppose your win is reason enough for me to de-lurk. I seriously screamed out loud when I was watching and heard your song come on, haha.

Congrats again! Hope you'll keep us updated on your sure-to-be-successful music career :D

So happy for you.... I was sitting in a bar with some friends for the game.. Could have cared less about the game..Not much into foot ball...Crazy I know, since I am a dude,live in Green Bay, and use to play it..People look at me kind of strange around here...So any way..Sitting at a bar.. Seconds left in the 1st quarter...Then, and then, I see...... A squirrel.. Ok, that's not kina...It was a cute commercial though... Then I hear your guitar...YAY SHE WON!!! How ever I had to keep it to myself .. .Umm seeing a 30 year old man get all gitty in a sports bar is not quite accepted here yet... Yeah, evolution has skipped a few generations here:) So anyway.. I am looking forward to hearing more from you in the future.. You are an amazing talent....

"Thank you guys for changing my life, truly...."

It's funny, because soon, you'll be changing thousands of others who haven't yet had the privilege of hearing your songs, but Interscope will take care of all of that for you :).

So you don't really have to thank us, because we all know that you've already repaid it with your amazing singing, songwriting, and wonderful personality.

P.S. You are attractive. Don't ever doubt otherwise.

Congrats!

You deserve this Record Deal and all the fans that come with it because you are truly talented!
Cheers for the shout outs for New Zealand, and make sure you come do some shows here in Wellington!!!
Bye for now,

kina....I think you might be famous... (below fergie on the interscope artists page) I'm still not sure yet (of course you could probably be a #1 hit and i still wouldn't think you're famous) ahhh! Kelly and I were both watching and got tears in our eyes. Every time I re-watch it I do again. Right when it says "the biggest stage possible" and you hear your guitar. And the end when it says "the rest is up to you" I'm seriously so thankful for Doritos to have given you this one push that allowed you to get so much recognition for your talent. I don't think I'll ever comprehend that 90 Million!! (almost a third of the U.S.!) saw you playing :) Oh and I am so jealous you are eating sushi...dorm food not so good. And emi hi!!!! I think you must be a little famous too...you're on the snackstrongproductions website in behind the scenes. <3 you guys

Hey sweety!
Told ya!
You were the only one still wondering about the contest. Ask Miko if he had any doubt about it!
I'm really glad I was part of this. You don't often get a chance of knowing that close a star-to-be before she actually IS a star. Now that's it. You're there, and this is just the beginning.
So we'll always be here for you. There's tons of us right now, but there's gonna hundreds of tons of us in a little while!
Stay cool. Stay little Kina (well, to me you'll always be, even when you're 60, like some sort of little sister)
Lots of love to you and your guitar, to mamma Grannis, Misa and Emi.
Now go have fun. And go get some more sleep too!!! You'll need it soon.

Cheers from France

Fred

Congrats again! So far it looks like Interscope is doing pretty well at promoting. You are going up the list on iTunes!

BaderTV did a report (of course you know this Kina) on Youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7Fm18MYP54

It was posted on January 31. And they actually play the real SuperBowl ad right up to the first part of "Message from Your Heart". I feel sort of stupid now, they actually leaked who the winner was. I guess we wouldn't have known for sure. Oh well, nothing can be more dramatic then watching it live during the superbowl!

@joe
Come on, man, you gotta STAND UP for your sensitive, Kina's-music-lovin' side. I was sitting on my bro-in-law's couch, jumped up and pumped a fist yelling "SWEET!!!" when I saw her video come on. And I'm 5-years your senior...

I mean, it's not like you're taking a bubble bath and listening to Kenny G... (are you?) ;-)


But I agree with you, WE are the lucky ones.

Congratulations!!!! Kina, you deserved it. I was so happy when I saw you on Sunday. You know I am auditioning for USC's acting mfa program. During my monologue I had to think of something beautiful and I had your song stuck in my head. You are great and thank you for being an inspiration.

First off, a huge congratulations to you. You are extremely talented and really deserve this.

I only wish that I had heard about you before the Doritos commercial. I saw you on tv and ran straight to the computer to look you up on Myspace. I couldn't stop listening, so I ordered all three of your cds.

I can't wait to see where this is going to take you in the music industry and I look for to hearing more amazingness from you. :)
Eat some sushi for me too. ;)

Having the daily Kina thought...
I contacted the on-air folks at KINK 102 FM in Portland! And they agree, Kina's an amazing discovery, the kind you can't keep to yourself. Hopefully soon we'll hear "Message from Your Heart" on the air faster than the Interscope machine can say listen! Her video is on the radio station's website...
http://www.kink.fm > scroll down to Rebecca's blog. If you're in the Portland area or listen to streaming on kink.fm, let them know how great she is!

@jesse b - You're absolutely right, they leaked the winner with the bit of guitar on the last phrase. I saw the video before the superbowl, but didn't notice until now. Good ear!

For the kinaddicts, I found a couple old videos on myspacetv of Kina performing live. I post links in the most recent entry.

 
At February 6, 2008 3:09 AM , Anonymous mama g said...

As you might imagine, Kina is going insane right now with so much going on with Interscope, Doritos, interviews, business decisions, not to mention that mountain of cd sales she has to pack, mail, and ship! (you have to cut her some slack on the cd shipments... she splurged some of her hard-earned contest winnings on getting the cds commercially burned, printed and encased.... and the company put the cds in the wrong jewel cases!!!!! We'll have to switch them by hand, which is quite labor-intensive and annoying since buying them was supposed to make this process EASIER)

She is anxious to edit and post her footage of Phoenix for y'all (been around Landon too much) but you're just going to have to wait a little longer.

Just to tide you over, let me say that the Grannis fam spent the weekend in Phoenix and those Doritos people and all the non-Doritos-but-also-essential-to-the-success-of-the-contest people were totally DOPE (been around Raj too long). How they amassed such amazing,cool people all on one project is inconceivable. Everyone was the nicest, coolest, most fun, most sincere, most talented, etc etc... well, you get what I'm saying...

We got to meet Nivla, P. Oberoi, DJ Sharad, producer/promoter Raj, photographer Ravi, and producer Josh who were all so much fun!! And from the Austin camp: Landon, his sister, Dani, mom, dad, aunt and uncle who were the friendliest people on earth.

Seriously, people.... Kina could not have asked for greater "competitors". These guys were absolute gems. I knew them for only 3 days and I love them all! There was some negativity amongst the fans but between the Nivla gang, Landon, and Kina, there was a lot of respect, admiration, and dare I say it? ....love.*sigh*

I want to provide more details, but I'd best leave that to Kina.
Remember: patience is a virtue.
