The Singers – Week 1

Every year brings together a diverse and unique field of singers chasing the Fargo Star title.
This year is no different as we feature a field that ranges from young girls singing their favorite songs to a 90-year-old cowboy singing the standards of Hank Williams.

In between these extremes, we have people who are singing pop songs, country songs, R&B songs and even a few original compositions.

Our first group of singers today emobides that wide swath of variety.

Among the singers is “Texas” Ed Anderson, a 63-year-old cowboy from Wyndmere, N.D., who dips into the catalog of Conway Twitty and Cameron MacKenzie, a 13-year-old regular on the Fargo-Moorhead theater circuit who is performing an original song.

And there also a couple famliar faces as two of last year’s Fargo Star finalists are in this first batch of videos.

They are Shalyn Hample, who set all kinds of Fargo Star records for vote totals, and Bailey Hurley, who was singing Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” before everyone in the world fell in love with the song.

It’s up to you to tell us if they deserve to be in the finals again.
