The GiGi Sisters write their own original songs as well as do unique covers, singing in three-part harmony while playing various instruments such as the piano, guitar and percussive instruments.

7. Alissa & Lyz

Alissa Liebler (15) and Lyz Mortati (15) have been best friends for a number of years now so it is no surprise that they are connected by their mutual love for singing country music and especially their mutual admiration of Taylor Swift. They are both self-taught musicians and they both play a variety of instruments including guitar, piano, and banjo. Ever since they found out that their voices complimented each other, they began to harmonize down the school hallways to some of their favourite songs. After creating their own YouTube channel and recording their first song, they were suddenly requested by a number of people to sing at various gigs, charity events, and school programs. Currently, they have around 8,000 views on their biggest viral hit “Marry You” by Bruno Mars, 24,000 total video views, 200 subscribers on their YouTube channel and over 200 likes on the Alissa & Lyz Facebook page. Both girls have now become songwriters and they are grateful for the opportunity to do what they love. They would also like to thank anyone who has ever listened to their music or supported them in what they do.

  1. okay honestly there is NO need to compare whose school has less kids…what kaitlyn was saying is that they really dont have a big group of people in the school that it would make a vote unfair…they are pure talent and that is worth more than any vote. they dont have any edits on their videos and all you hear is their voices and guitairs not any auto-tune or editimg and no flashy music videos. they sit in their basement and work on each song and do the best that they can on each song, which is quite amazing. lets not make this based off of how many people you know. make it base off of talent. isnt that what its supposed to be? a talent vote? alissa and lyz are extremely talented and amazing plus they are wonderful people they deserve this vote

  5. OKAY WHOEVER SAYS THAT ALISSA&LYZ ARE ONLY WINNING BECAUSE THEY KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE, SIT DOWN SON.
    do you know where alissa & lyz live?!?!
    we have like maybe 200 kids per grade in our district, and compared to a lot of schools thats a really small amount.
    we live in a small town so don’t you dare say alissa & lyz are winning only because they know a lot of people,
    cause that’s FALSE.
    they may have a dedicated fanbase, but their talent is what is gettting their votes.
    i actually took the time to listen to the rest of the groups
    they are all good, but i still think alissa&lyz have the best potential.
    sure their videos might not be the best qualities but i swear they can practically play a song on guitar and sing it amazingly only hearing it once.
    they are insanely talented, so no they are not getting their votes because they know people, they are getting it because they are the most talented.
    take a seat complainers, you’re obviously just jealous (:

  6. Sorry Lyz for spelling you name incorrectly. You have so much talent and you are a very special person. I was very happy to meet you at Alissa’s Sweet 16 Party. Have a nice day. BobBob

  7. Thanks so much everyone for all of the support! We work hard and it’s really so amazing to see the feedback.. We’re up against some rough competition, every one of these bands is more talented than the next and we are so blessed to even be considered for the title, thank you StarCentral! Keep voting! 🙂

  8. the GiGi Sisters care about music and are so down to earth!! SO talented as well, got my vote!

  13. It’s been a pleasure having Alissa and Lyz go to my high school and hearing all the wonderful music they make. They really are some of the most talented people not only in the school but, from what I’ve heard, on the web too.

  14. I understand that many members of your Fan Club have downloaded your songs and video’s to their IPads. That is a real compliment to the talent of Alissa & Liz. Apparently they are also voting for you in this contest.

  15. malu and lily are the weirdest british girls i’ve ever seen. so quirky, they get my loving vote! (it’s a vote packed with love so it should really be worth like 48 votes)

  16. After watching all of the videos i’d have too say that The GiGi Sisters are the best. They have such vocal power and I also came across some links from their youtube to vids of them playing piano when they were like little kids! So talented – and obviously doing musicc their entire lives — TRUE dedication. They deserve it, hands down

  18. The GiGi Sisters definitely deserve to win!! Ive never heard such unique originals, their vocals are so powerful and theyre so young!! best of luck girls

  19. After looking at all the videos, I think Alissa and Lyz are really good. They may not have the best quality videos but it doesn’t mean they’re not the best.

  20. I’ve listened to them all and as talented as alissa and lyz are i think they are getting most of their votes just because people “know” them in person. Have any of you taken the time to look at the other ones, i think johnnie and brookie deserve more votes because they are amazing. Take time to look at other bands people and actually vote for the one that’s most talented. Not just because you know them.

  21. Alissa & Lyz are obvs the most dope. I have literally never seen such raw talent in my life. Even if they don’t win i know one day their names will be up in lights next two Taylor Swift and other artists. I am not a big country fan but listening to Alissa & Lyz makes me wanna through on some cowboy boot and my best phlannel and squared dance with my mom. Also Alissa &Lyz inspired me to purchase a cowboy hat. Thankyou that will be all.

  22. The other bands can be great, but The Errazors are joung kids and they deserve the votes; it’s their only way to be what they really want; A BAND, and to share their passion for the music… so…
    C’MON THE ERRAZORS

  24. vote alissa and lyz!!!!! they are amazing and definetely deserve this. vote themm loveyougirlss

  26. Alissa & Lyz go to my high school, so I’ve had the pleasure of knowing them personally. They’ve been very close friends with my sister for quite some time, and recently I’ve been able to become friends with them myself and get to know them better through a performing arts academy that they attend with me and my sister. And for all their talent and despite their popularity both in and out of school, they have not let it go to their heads at all, and they are both very friendly, very approachable and just all-around really nice people. That’s not to take away from their talent though of course. I’ve seen them live a couple times at school events (all fundraisers and charity events I might add), and they always look and sound great 🙂 So if you ask me, Alissa and Lyz truly deserve to win this, so please help them out by giving them your vote. You’d be hard-pressed to find two girls with as much kindness and talent as Alissa and Lyz 🙂

  27. Unfortunately, it’s hard to be a band here in the US too! Alissa & Lyz have been working their butts off for years, and it’s equally as difficult for them to be discovered. No matter where you are, this is the most difficult industry, and all of these bands are doing extremely well even to be discovered! So forget about where you’re from- may the best band win! ALISSA & LYZ!!!!!!!

  28. Maybe, Alissa & Lyz, Malu and Lily or GiGi sisters are good, very good, but The Errazors lives in Chile, a place where is difficult to be a band, because the goverment doesn’t support the popular bands. They are simple ans honest, and I think, very frank, they deserve the votes, cause is the only way to be band for them, because in their country, how I said, is too difficult be a band.

  29. Of course The Errazors! the best band; their aren’t superstars, they look honest and simple and their music is really good! C’mon… they have my vote y)

  30. ALISSA AND LYZ FOR THE WIN OBVIOUSLY.
    keep on voting for them,
    they TOTALLY deserve this, and they are sweetest people you will ever meet.
    just listen to them, they are incredibly talented, and none of their videos are edited to make them sound better, so uh, obviously the most talent~
    keep up the great work!!

  36. Errazors son lo mejor…lejos tienen que ganar…todo el apoyo para ustedes chiquillos!!

  37. Keep voting ALISSA & LYZ!!!! Such talent. Amazing singers/songwriters. Love these girls. Next Taylor Swifts!!!! Check out their channel and tell me they don’t deserve to win the entire thing!!

  38. ALISSA & LYZ ALL THE WAY.. I LOVE YOU GIRLS YOU ARE SO TALENTED!!! 🙂 I LOVE YOU GIRLS AND LOOK UP TO YOU. KEEP ON SHINING <3

  39. @Connorjayy, hey, let the best man win. Don’t insult the other contestants because each and every one of them deserve this. Who ever wins will win because they deserve it.

  40. Malu and Lily should win this, they write original songs that are actually worthy of winning this. Good luck to the rest, however, back off, this is Malu and Lily’s 🙂
