Vote in the 1st Ever Coldwell Banker #HomeRocks Award

Home and music. Music and home. The two certainly go together. Outside of love, my best guess is that more songs are written about home than anything else. There is something special about coming home after a long day, an exciting day, a great day or any other kind of day and letting music soothe or pump us up. Home is our special place and music makes it even better.

Home and music.  Music and home.  The two certainly go together.  Outside of love, my best guess is that more songs are written about home than anything else.

There is something special about coming home after a long day, an exciting day, a great day or any other kind of day and letting music soothe or pump us up.  Home is our special place and music makes it even better.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate will showcase how music and home go together in a BIG way during the January 26 Grammys on CBS.  That is when we debut a one minute commercial that lets Mötley Crüe’s “Home Sweet Home” showcase why #HomeRocks.

You can get a sneak peek at the commercial beginning on January 22 at 11 a.m. Eastern right here on the Blue Matter blog.

We believe in music’s involvement with home.  Last year we used the music of Phillip Phillips’ “Home” and this year “Home Sweet Home” in our commercials, but there are other great songs about home that deserve attention.

And since there is no Grammy’s category for these songs, we decided to do something about it.  Or actually, we decided to let you do something about it.

We are proud to announce our nominees for the first Coldwell Banker #HomeRocks Award.  The criteria is simple. It has to be a song about home that was released within the calendar year of 2013. The nominees are below and we want you to pick the song that you believe was 2013’s best song about home.  Over the next few days we will post about each of the songs and why they have a chance to win the #HomeRocks award.  So, without further ado, here are the nominees:

  1. John Mayer – On the Way Home
  2. Mariah Carey – Almost Home
  3. Sheryl Crow – Homesick
  4. Midnight Red – Take Me Home
  5. Drake – Hold On, We’re Going Home
  6. Elton John – Home Again

This is a really big deal that will allow you to help one of these artists have an enjoyable Grammy’s weekend as the winner of the first Coldwell Banker #HomeRocks Award.

Voting is open through midnight on Tuesday, January 21.  The winner will be announced right here on Thursday, January 23! And don’t forget, come back on January 22 at 11 a.m. EST to see how  Mötley Crüe and Coldwell Banker combine to show that #HomeRocks!

Voting is now closed. Thanks for your participation and see why we believe that #HomeRocks in our latest ad that can be seen here!

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

  2. Interesting collection of artists/songs! Glad to see the Drake song isn’t cutting it – wouldn’t want us to be associated with the violence on the video. Might want to consider “Our House” by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young for the future. The two parts of that song that would resonate is “our house is a very, very fine house” and “now everything is easy ’cause of you”. These could tie neatly into the homeowner (our house is better than yours) and the agent (Coldwell Banker doing the work for our clients). Just sayin’…..lol!

  7. Listened to all and just depending on what kind of ‘feel’ CB wants could determine who should win: Midnight Red- Take Me Home is fresh, upbeat & catchy: Sheryl Crow – Homesick is more mature and soft and has the feeling of being homesick – those 2 were my fav’s – I think upbeat is best for marketing though…. so Midnight Red-Take Me Home wins for that category

  9. I’m so happy to see Midnight Red being recognized for their amazing music! I just became a fan 2 months ago and I can honestly say these boys deserve every bit of success they work hard for and im in love with them. I hope they take home the win!

  12. The Midnight Red song fits best I think. I also think you should change the voting to one vote per person. You can see for example somebody who is a Mariah fan just keeps hitting refresh.

  16. I really think that the Mariah Carey song would be great on an ad, the chorus is perfect, says all the right things, it is deep, the music uplifting & is “actually about going home”, where some of the others is about a significant other. Hits more of the Actual “Home” points. The midnight red has a good beat,but think its more of a “Teen” song, more akin to Bieber fans, and didnt appeal to me to put lots of money down to buy a home. Mariah is a legacy, her voice makes you get goosebumps and get emotional, and to buy a home one must be emotional :). Just my thoughts

  18. I hope Midnight Red wins, in all honesty. Everyone has been around for awhile, but MNR, is a group who is trying to make it big, and this might propel them.

  28. I guess I don’t understand why the Midnight Red song was nominated.

    CB says “The criteria is simple. It has to be a song about home that was released within the calendar year of 2013. The nominees are below and we want you to pick the song that you believe was 2013’s best song about home.”

    “Take Me Home” by Midnight Red is NOT about home… It’s about sex. Am I the only one who sees this? Did anyone read the lyrics or listen to the song before the nominations were made? Or was it simply nominated because the title and lyrics contain the word “Home”? Did you know that the following lyrics are also in the song?: “You love so good. How can I forget? Girl your touch still the best, you can see all over my chest”. Hmmm…. That’s not how I feel about my home… Maybe I’m the only one… Great job.

    1. Did you know the Take Me Home song by Midnight Red was the Coca Cola Summer theme this year? Was on the Disney Channel? Just played on the Today Show this morning? Its all about interpitation. Nothing wrong with the song. Its a great song.

    4. This was quite amusing. Ha. Take Me Home by Midnight Red is NOWHERE near being a song about sex. The boys were asked what the meaning behind the song is. Neither of them mentioned sex. Like are you stupid ?!
      The song is about missing home, being with someone that makes you feel at home. Just because there’s literally only a verse that says “You love so good. How could I forget? Girl your touch is still the best. You could see all over my chest.” DOES NOT make it a love song. Get your facts straight. Thank you very much.
      These boys deserve to be in this category as much as the others. And they deserve to win.

        2. I’m a dedicated 20-something fan of Midnight Red and I will prove you wrong about our “mindless” fanbase in a couple easy words.
          1- Absolutely this song is jam packed with double entendres and sexual innuendos. Almost our entire society today buys and sells sex. It’s been so integrated into our social fabric that we now, blur the lines so to speak. It doesn’t mean the song can’t be used as a catchy marketing tool.
          2- Our fanbase is rabid, and will always ask “how high” when we’re asked to “jump.” These guys have worked their asses off since 2009 and contrary to poular belief, we not brought together by a label or a reality show. These guys came together on their own, and fought hard for what they’re getting.
          3- These guys have absolutely mastered social media and are truly using it not just as a communication/social blog etc, but leveraging the power of it for business and marketing. They have figured out the power of the hashtag.

    5. The professionals behind this thing listens to the songs and sees what is best to use have on the poll. If Take Me Home has nothing whatsoever to do with home, then it wouldn’t even be on here. The people behind this are not stupid. I am actually happy Midnight Red are even in this.. They get little attention for a band so talented.

  66. lol im seriously laughing at how pressed some of these people are over Midnight Red being nominated. you’re just mad because they’re actually winning right? Oh, and I really love how everyone thinks just because you’re a fan of a popstar or a boy band, that automatically makes you a 12 year old girl. Every member of Midnight Red is already in their 20s, i’ll be turning 19 next month and yes I love them. As for the song being about ‘sex’, there’s nothing sexual about the song or the video at all haha. Just because that one line may suggest something sensual doesn’t mean the song as a whole is about sex. Obviously CB nominated the songs they thought fit the category the best and like I said before, I’m happy that they’re acknowledging MNR’s music and how popular they’re getting lately. Don’t be a sore loser….it’s bad for the soul.

    1. I’m sorry? Just because it’s a boyband doesn’t mean all their fans want to sleep with them. And they’re not 12 year olds either. Most of their fans are above 18. These guys are genuine and actually talented. They’re not manufactured like a lot of boybands. They worked hard to get where they are now and they still work hard. They are one of the fastest rising artists at the moment so winning this would be a great opportunity to get the word out. Nothing against Mariah Carey but she is already famous worldwide. If anything, Midnight Red deserve this the most. It’s not unfair because these votes are real. Just because not many people have heard of them doesn’t mean they don’t deserve anything.

      1. They’re not manufactured?? Agree with everything else : ) They are pretty good singers and surprisingly are able to dance too, which is rare for today’s boy bands. Both Mariah and the Midnight Red are good, very different, but both good.

        1. They really are not manufactured. To prove my point, lemme tell you how they started. Eric and Anthony were already friends and they started the group. Eric met Thomas when they were participants at Making Menudo but they didn’t get really far. Then Thomas joined the group. They found Colton on youtube and Joey through a mutual producer. They started in a GARAGE. No talent shows or record label auditions were involved. So like I said, they worked very hard to get where they are now.

  103. As an old school singer/song writer fan, it pains me to see a manufactured boy band that’s been auto tuned getting pre-pubescent girls to get their robot apps on their I-phones to get these guys voted the winners. Their 15 minutes of fame are almost up. As for Mariah Carey, has she even ever written one song? Yeah, she can sing, but is a drum machine and a synth really music? The three most talented are easily Elton John, John Mayer and Sheryl Crow. I remember a time when Mariah Carey was nothing more than a pop tart that had a singing range of 3 or 4 octaves. Now, she’s just a Diva trying to still be a pop tart. I’ll take awards like this one seriously when they actually put serious artists in the category.

    1. Your a loser. Do you know anything about Midnight Red? They are not manufactured at all and that is part of their story. They put themselves together by themselves. They sing 100% live. Have you seen their videos? Before you spout your mouth off do the research.

  104. Elton John’s Home Again is a moving and beautiful song about the human desire to return to what represents love and stability. In other words home. This beautiful song with lyrics by the talented Bernie Taupin will stand the test of time. I know it is popular to vote for the latest ten band, I get it. But, honestly, listen to the song, and tell me this is not a perfect song about home and its meaning.

    Reply

  106. I’m a 51 year old Coldwell realtor. I am a huge fan of Elton John, like Sheryl Crow and don’t like John Mayer much (honestly more dislike for his personality than his music). I have to admit I only learned of Drake after watching Saturday Night Live this weekend and he was pretty funny. I checked out his music and didn’t like too much. I never have heard of this group Midnight Red.

    After doing some initial research I immediately discovered this is a young generation boy band type and took a breath. Here is where the honesty comes in. They are good. Not a little good but really good. Seem like solid singers, put themselves together (not like kids on American Idol or XFactor) and after reading about them seem like likable boys. I admit I was skeptical but after listening to their song Take Me Home, listening to them, watching their fans be so passionate I actually voted for them. They seem like they want it more.

    At the end of the day its about what song would make the best commercial. It’s not about who you like the best or some over dramatic reason why “Home” is represented. What its about is the song is catchy and I think the marketing is genius. Without this Midnight Red group rabid fans I would have never even knew about this…and I work for the company!! Kudos boys and good luck.

    2. No mention of Mariah Carey in your comment… you must not have heard her take on “Home” which has a good contemporary up-beat while showcasing brilliant vocal talent. It took me a few listens to really like, cause I’m always expecting so much from her, but the message finally hit “Home” (pun intended). I hope you get a chance to check it out!

        Reply

    2. the fact that you think that your statement is correct obviously shows that you know nothing at all about music in general. Midnight Red’s song Take Me Home can have several meanings to it. Yes, you can see it as a song to get laid to but you can also see it as a song that tells peolpe that they feel home with others. They’re not a wannabe Nsync boyband, just because they’re inspired by them doesn’t mean they want to be them. If you knew anything about both bands you’d hear the differences in their music. And about their fanbase, most of the Redheads are 18 years or older and even if we all were 12/13 year olds, we’d still beat Mariah Carey. Midnight Red wants to win this, they deserve this and we’re gonna give it to them.

  115. Out of every song I heard in 2013, Mariah Carey’s “Almost Home” was the best vocal performace I heard. It is a classic to me now. The ending has her hitting powerhouse notes that are just angelic. That song got no promotion or I think it would have been a radio hit especially at adult contemporary. Also, Mariah is a household name. I moved in 2013 after leaving a job and that song helped me it was like an anthem for me. AND HEY WHAT WAS WITH THE THEATRICAL VERSION? After the movie ended (Oz the Great and Powerful), we didn’t hear mariah. She was well into the credits and it wasn’t her radio version. Oh well. I hope Mariah wins. Best song, best vocal, best looking, best writing, she has it all. 😉

  130. I know for a fact that Midnight Red won due to people cheating and voting more than once. I saw it happen. They were getting ten votes every five seconds and it looked like Mariah had someone who was getting her a few for a while but then they probably gave up because MIDNIGHT RED WON DUE TO MULTIPLE FANS WHO CHEATED. OFFICIALLY THIS AWARD IS CONSIDERED VOID IN MY OPINION.

    1. Even if that did happen how is that cheating? Where did it say you couldn’t vote more than once? If that’s the case both the Coldwell blog AND twitter mentioned Elton and Mariah and numerous times. They featured John Mayer. They didn’t even mention Midnight Red.

      I voted for S. Crow but congrat’s to Midnight Red.

      Jealousy = #Haterade

      1. I wanted Mariah to win, and I think that the contest was void due to the ectreme cheating. If Red Midnight knew that they won due to a hack they may not feel like they truly won so I guess you should hope coldwell banker and the band don’t check this page. I have no reason to be jealous and I will use Mariah’s unmatchable talent as my proof of that. I don’t like cheating; it’s that simple. I don’t think a group of people cheated. I think someone hacked into it. If coldwell banker checked they would see. I think you guys have been hateful if anyone. And hello? It’s cheating when you hack in and vote supernaturally.

        1. If you checked social media and knew about Midnight Red (I didn’t and now I do) you will see that group and its fans are VERY heavy on social media. So somebody “hacked” Mariah’s as well? That would have to be the case and not likely. I think its the younger generation paying attention. I mean look at the last person who commented here and put Elton John 9 hours ago…I mean HELLO the contest ended 2 days ago. Pay attention. Midnight Red fans won. You didn’t. Get over it.

          1. @Diego, if you are going to comment on my issue with this what I will now call manufactured award, you need to make sense. I voted for Mariah and saw the huge gap. I came back to check a few minutes later to show my wife and I noticed that their numbers had gone up very drastically in five minutes. So, I refreshed my page five times and each time I saw that they were getting 10 and then 50 within thirty seconds. I knew then that it was not a contest where one could vote more liike american idol. It was a hacked contest and I know it. And hey the whole thing looks -pretty much abondoned. I think it probable that they notices and.canned the whole thing. I don’t care if Midnight Red is Heavy on Social Media. “Oz” made a ton of money and the song was lovely. And Mariah Carey is a household name. THe name is Mariah Carey, I need say no more. Thank you and good night. 😉

    3. I myself voted for Elton 10 times in 3-4 minutes I have to admit. Look at Midnight Red’s social media, including twitter. Mariah may have almost 15 Million followers and Midnight Red not even a 1/2 Million but they have as many if not more RT and Favs as she does. What does that mean for us old folks? Means Midnight Red has a very active social media fan base They didn’t cheat. This poll was a week long. Some pop groups get that many votes in an hour when these polls hit due to how many people voting. Congratulations Midnight Red. You deserve it and your song is quit good actually.

        1. No no. Their song won’t be in the commercial either. The Grammys commercial features “Home Sweet Home” by Motley Crue. Midnight Red is getting a delivered gift basket from Coldwell Banker with the #HomeRocks award. That’s it.

  133. The winner of the “#HomeRocks” award won’t be featured in any of Coldwell Banker’s marketing campaigns right? The commercial that will air during the Grammys still features “Home Sweet Home” by Mötley Crüe correct?
