From a film that was pegged to be a hit (until people saw it), Empire Records, we have a visit from Rex Manning, a teen idol turned has been who appears at the store to do an autograph signing. Really, he is there for there to be jokes at his expense, as he comes off as a douche and as this is a film with a strong tie in to music, they needed someone to look down on.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Empire Records (1995)
Actor:
Maxwell Caulfield
Songs you might remember:
Say No More (Mon Amour)
Why you should vote for him:
All we have is that this was a really good soundtrack.
Why you should not vote for him:
It was a Soundtrack that this character had nothing to do with, and he was treated as a joke.

A spin off of Hot in Cleveland, “The Soul Man” follows Sherman Boyce “The Voice” Ballantine who was a former R&B star who was living it up in Las Vegas who somehow receives the calling to return to the church and become a minister at his father’s church. We have always like Cedric the Entertainer, though we don’t know if this is his best work, or even something that addresses music enough to earn him an induction.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Soul Man (2012-)
Actor:
Cedric the Entertainer
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
Does God want you to vote for him?
Why you should not vote for him:
Music is not that important to the show.

Rembrandt “Cryin’ Man” Brown was so named for his ability to cry real tears on command during his performances. He involuntary gets sucked into a sliding vortex (while he was in on his way to perform the National Anthem at a San Francisco Giants game) and along with three scientists where they travel from one parallel Earth to another. Although he started off as a supporting character, he was the only one to be in all five seasons, and in the last season, he was the focal point of the show.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Sliders (1994-2000)
Actor:
Cleavant Derricks
Songs you might remember:
Cry Like A Man
Why you should vote for him:
He was presented as being moderately successful.
Why you should not vote for him:
This is a science fiction show, and the fact that he was a singer was not really that important.

Reggie Wanker

From the early 80’s cult film, “Get Crazy” we have a series of bands who played at the fictitious Saturn Theatre (modeled after the famous Filmore East) for their 15th New Year’s Eve Show. The main event of the night was Reggie Wanker (Malcolm McDowell) who was Rock and Roll excess all the way, with his over the top stage persona, drug and alcohol consumption and love of women. His pairing with his Drummer, Toad (played by John Densmore of the Doors) also led to some nice comedic work; but what else would we expect from McDowell?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Get Crazy (1983)
Actor:
Malcolm McDowell
Songs you might remember:
Hot Shot
Why you should vote for him:
McDowell was arguably the musical star of the film; with all due respect to Lou Reed.
Why you should not vote for him:
Does headlining a concert in a film that hardly anyone saw make him a realistic contender?
