McDonald’s R&B Soul Search winner is…
The McDonald’s R&B Soul Search wrapped Friday night at the Loft, with Kristin Stimage taking the prize for her a capella rendition of Oleta Adams’ “Get Here.”
Stimage, who wasn’t at all considered a front runner in the singing contest, managed to pull out a surprise win in the super-tight contest. When her name was announced, she fell to the floor and cried.
Stimage won a one-time contract with Sony, and recording time with Phat Buddha studios. She’s the first female winner in the three-year-old competition.
Stimage scored 175 points out of a possible 200 from the judges, which included a Sony rep. First runner up Sieglinda Fox scored 172 points, and second runner up Bernard Jefferson amassed 171 votes.
