Good news and bad news. First the good news: Blue Jupiter won the popular vote! A million thanks to our fans who voted us to the top of the HLN's Morning Express with Robin Meade Theme Contest. You were there for us when we needed you! The bad news is that Robin chose the "other group". Of course we're disappointed, but we also wanted to pass on our congratulations to these girls, tell them to keep up the great whistling, and wish them all the success in the world! On to the next project! Thanks and big hugs to all of you!
