As he wraps his nation-wide, headline “Back to School” tour this week, American Idol® finalist Chris Sligh has asked his fans to have some fun and help him create his next video, lip-syncing to the original vocals for Sligh’s debut, top 10 AC hit single, “Empty Me”.

”’Empty Me’ is a special song, and I always knew that the video for the song would need to be something special, too,” explains Sligh. “As we’ve seen people react to the song, I knew I wanted the video to be something involving the fans. I say this every night in concert, but this song is a simple prayer that we should be praying whether you’re a dog walker, a cheerleader, the President of the United States or some chubby guy that was on American Idol – to be emptied of ourselves so we can be filled with Christ. So, I want dog walker, cheerleaders and maybe even the President (or maybe a candidate for President) to video themselves doing cool stuff lip-syncing to my song!”

Video submissions can be made as of today through October 24th by emailing the file to EmptyMeVideo@gmail.com or by posting it to www.yousendit.com and sending that link to EmptyMeVideo@gmail.com.

The length of each video submitted will be limited to 35 seconds, and depending on the first letter of a fan’s last name, they’ll be asked to submit a video for a certain portion of the song. Fans are encouraged to record in non-traditional situations (in an elevator, in line at an amusement park, in the back of class during a lecture, at the Washington Monument, at Mt. Rushmore, at Grand Canyon, during a football game, while water-skiing, etc). In addition, any quality video file is welcome, whether that be via use of a cell phone or a broadcast quality camera. Full guidelines for submission are available now at www.BrashMusic.com, and/or Sligh’s blog.

Sligh’s follow-up single to “Empty Me”, “Arise”, has just been serviced to Christian AC radio and hits the New and Active chart at both R&R AC Monitor and Indicator charts this week.
