Fan Fair Schedule Announced
Posted on Saturday, April 20 2002

Martina will be performing on the CMT Flameworthy Award show on Wednesday night, the RCA Label Show on Thursday night at the Adelphia Coliseum, and she will also once again take part in the YWCA Charity Auction on Sunday.

There is no Fan Fair fan club party this year, and Martina will not have a booth at Fan Fair. Martina will be continuing her fan club meet and greet program during her upcoming tour, so if you want to meet Martina your best chance is still to sign up for her fan club and attend a show in your area!

CMT AWARDS--MARTINA NOMINATED IN FOUR CATEGORIES

They used to be known as the "Music City News/TNN Awards," then the "CMT Country Weekly Awards." This year they're called the "CMT Flameworthy Music Video Awards." They're the fan-voted awards presented during a live show from Nashville during Fan Fair and are regarded as one of the three major country awards shows (along with the CMA's and the ACM's).

Martina is nominated in four categories in this preliminary round of voting:

Female Video Of The Year (Blessed)
Video Concept of the Year (God-Fearin' Women)
Fashion Plate Video of the Year (Blessed)
LOL (Laugh out Loud) Video of the Year (God-Fearin' Women)

In addition, Deaton-Flannigan received a nomination in the Video Director of the Year category for "Blessed." The voting in the semi-final round started Tuesday (April 16) and will continue through Sunday, May 12. This round of voting will determine the
five nominees in each category for the final round of voting. Final nominees will be announced and second round voting will begin Tuesday, May 14.

Let's help Martina become a final nominee in all five categories. You must register at CMT and each registered user can only vote once. To vote, go to:

CAROLYN DAWN JOHNSON LAUNCHES FAN CLUB

Carolyn Dawn Johnson is launching her official fan club and has tapped our very own Martina-Webmaster Darren O'Neill to run it!
As most of you know, CDJ was formerly a member of Martina's band, so she's family. In addition to being a hot new country artist, she's also an acclaimed songwriter (Chely Wright's "Single White Female"). She can be heard singing harmony on "I Love You" and "Blessed." Here's your chance to join Carolyn's fan club on the ground floor (and get a really low membership number). For all of the details, go to:
