Alabama resident wins CMT singing contest
A 20-year-old Alabama woman has won a national singing competition sponsored by County Music Television (CMT). Brittany Davis, a 2008 graduate of Spain Park High School in Hoover who is now a junior at Oklahoma City University, garnered the most online votes in the “Country Strong” singing challenge being held in conjunction with the January release of the movie by the same title, starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw. “I’m still in shock. This has been a real whirlwind,” Davis said. Davis was one of 16 regional winners who made it to the national competition. Online voters had six days to choose their favorite. As the national winner out of about 500,000 votes cast, Davis will be flown to Nashville around Jan. 2 by Sony Records for a tour of the CMT set and to record her own version of “Country Strong.” “There’s also the strong possibility I’ll get a meeting to talk with a Sony representative and a shot at an appearance on the CMT Top 20 Countdown,” Davis said. It would be “a dream come true”, Davis said, if she left Nashville with a record deal. “I’m going to bring my guitar and my songs and let them know how strong my passion is for country music.” www.brittanygdavis.com.
