This week we take a look at the first bracket in our Heavenly Sixteen. We saw in round one Ciji Thornton beat out the legendary lonelygirl15, and Jessi Smiles inching out the young Andrea Russett. Voting ends for the Heavenly Sixteen March 7th!
Ciji Thornton (YouTube Personality)
Better known as StarSlay3r, Ciji burst onto our computer monitors in 2006 when she grabbed the attention of MTV for being one of the Top 10 Guitar Hero Players in the CPL Tournament held in Dallas, TX. She has been a recognized gamer for the past six years after dominating several Guitar Hero and Rockband competitions. She has also appeared on FOX and MSNBC and been featured on many Internet websites such as IGN. Thornton continues to post videos to YouTube as well as participate in many fundraising campaigns, which is why she's landed on Fanboys Anonymous's 2014 Internet Goddess Tournament! Also take a look at our own Geek Speak team interview with Ciji!!
Jessi Smiles (Vine & YouTube Personality)
Ever heard of a thing called Vine? If you have, then you most likely know Jessi Smiles. Also known as Jessica Vazquez, Jessi has blown up our Vines with several 30-second clips that will make you giggle each time. She has since broadened her horizons to a YouTube channel as well as appearing in an Epic Rap Battles of History video as Joan of Arc. Recently, Jessi has been caught up in some controversy with fellow Vine-er and ex-boyfriend Curtis Lepore. Although these days most people are focused on the controversy and have effectively taken sides in the war between the two parties, we here at Fanboys Anonymous remain neutral and choose to recognize Vazquez for her Internet accomplishments. Besides, this is a tournament of the nerds, so you guys decide. Is Jessi Smiles worthy of the 2014 Internet Goddess Award?
So who advances from the Heavenly Sixteen? Ciji Thornton or Jessie Smiles?
