Last week I had a RisingStar Game contest and put up a rare Stacy card as the prize. I changed up the rules a bit for that giveaway because of the rarity of the card. Let's take a look at the requirements for the Stacy card giveaway:
In order to qualify for this giveaway, comment below and tell me your favorite musician (it can be a solo artist, band, group, etc.) and you'll get one entry. If you happen to name one of my top 3 favorites, I'll multiply your entries in the drawing to 10 (and share my top 3 favorite musicians in the next post)! Limit of one comment entry per person, and you can only name one musician. Entries will be accepted until October 27, 2021.
There were a total of 11 entries in the comments on that post that included the name of their favorite musician. As promised, I will reveal my top 3 favorite musicians, and also let you know that nobody has the same favorites as me. Honestly, most people are shocked when they find out who my favorite artists are.
#1) Eminem - I've been an Eminem Stan since middle school when I first heard his breakout single, My Name Is. One of the most amazing concert experiences of my life was attending the Home & Home tour with Eminem & Jay-Z in Detroit, MI. Dr. Dre, D-12, 50 Cent, and more special guests showed up for a once-in-a-lifetime event.
#2) Everclear - This is another favorite of mine since first hearing their hit single Santa Monica in the 90's. In fact, I'd probably be considered a groupie for this band and at least one of the members knows my name on sight. When they toured a few years ago I purchased a VIP ticket that gave me side-stage access but it turned out the venue didn't have a side-stage area so I got to be ON stage with the band for their entire performance. This was another once-in-a-lifetime experience for me and Freddy even let me strum the final chord of the show on his bass. The looks I got from the people in the crowd wanting to know how the hell I was up there, were priceless! I was also able to hang out in their tour bus before the show. Art and Freddy are two of the nicest guys in the business and I love supporting their work anytime I can!
#3) Lil Nas X - This is a brand new addition to my favorites list. I just can't get enough of this guy! I'll be honest, when Old Town Road first came out, I changed the radio station or skipped the track because I just couldn't understand the popularity. Then he dropped some more singles including Montero and Industry Baby and I was hooked. Now, going back to listen to the Billy Ray Cyrus feature version of Old Town Road and I actually like it. I'm a huge fan of the Industry Baby collaboration with Jack Harlow. There's also something to be said for the way that Lil Nas X rose out of obscurity to then become the artist with the record for the fastest a song has reached RIAA Diamond status. His first album, Montero, is also one of the few that I actually enjoy listening to from start to finish without skipping a track. I look forward to seeing more from him in the coming years.
Okay, now that I got my top 3 out of the way, let's see who won the rare card giveaway!
Congratulations 
I wasn't sure if I'd continue my card opening and giveaway series after opening my 12th pack last time. But, I've decided to keep going and buy another 12-pack of cards and keep up a weekly giveaway post. Let's take a look at the next three packs I'm opening:
Pack 1:
Pack 2:
Pack 3:
