From a media release:
THE VOTES ARE IN! COVER ME CANADA REVEALS CANADA’S CHOICE FOR IMMUNITY AND WHOSE JOURNEY ENDS IN TONIGHT’S EPISODE
CBC’s new live weekly musical competition series, COVER ME CANADA, announced that Melanie Morgan Band garnered immunity and was safe from elimination in tonight’s episode. Immunity was granted after the results of Canadian audiences’ online voting and social media engagement for the bands were tallied. At the conclusion of tonight’s show the COVER ME CANADA judges Jordan Knight (New Kids On The Block), chart-topping R&B sensation Deborah Cox and star-maker manager and record exec Ron Fair (Christina Aguilera, Black Eyed Peas, Pussycat Dolls), also announced the name of the first eliminated band: GO7.
Even though eliminations are beginning, Canadians have the chance to bring back one band who thought their COVER ME CANADA journey was over. In a one-time vote on October 23, 2011 fans will be asked to put their support behind their favourite eliminated band. The eliminated band that garners the most online votes will return in episode seven and continue to compete for the $100,000 cash prize and a recording contract for an original single to be released by Universal Music Canada.
