Well, the voting for the initial stage of the 2014 edition of the KidVid Tournament from my list of favorite kids music videos of 2013 has ended and the top vote-getters are (alphabetically)...
Duke Otherwise - "Brussels Sprout Shout!"
Frances England - "Day You Were Born"
Karen K and the Jitterbugs - "(I Woke Up in a) Firetruck"
Alison Krauss (via Sandra Boynton) - "End of a Summer Storm"
But there's little time for the four of them to rest on their laurels as we move directly in the final, er, four. Semifinal #1 features Frances England's stop-motion collage video (from Antonina Clarke) for "Day You Were Born" from Blink of an Eye going up against a bunny's courageous trip home in Keith Boynton's video for Alison Krauss' "End of a Summer Storm" from Sandra Boynton's Frog Trouble.
As always, the rules are brief and simple:
1) One vote per family.
2) Deadline to vote is 8 PM Thursday night West Coast time.
3) Be nice, play fair, have fun, don't get obsessed with it.
With that, watch both videos and vote!
