Reedy (BET)
If you've been watching BET's gospel talent search "Sunday Best," you know all about Saginaw native Jessica Reedy and her amazing voice.
An alto reminiscent of Billie Holiday or, more currently Oleta Adams, our girl Reedy, 20, has what it takes to become a major recording star.
"I've never been professionally trained, but my whole family can sing," says Reedy, a single mom who got her start singing in her grandfather's church. "Everyone is so happy for me."
This is where you, the reader, come in. Reedy is one of two finalists competing for the "Sunday Best" title, an honor that comes with a national recording contract, a brand new 2009 Lincoln MKS and a prize package for her community.
The "Sunday Best" finale airs 9 p.m. Sunday on BET, and we have to vote for Reedy in order for her to win. Voters can call (877) 701-0141 or go to bet.com/sundaybest to vote online. For details on texting votes, go to the Web site for instructions and fees.
Etc.
