The GiGi Sisters, also known as ‘The GiGi’s’ for short are three Canadian sisters aged 19, 17 and 14f who hails from the city of Mississauga. Alexandra, Stefanie and Katharine Petkovski have been involved with music their whole lives – being classically trained in RCM piano since the ages of 5 and having grown up performing in various festivals and galas, they just want to share their love of music with as many people as they possibly can. 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. Their music style is a combination of indie/folk/country/blues/soul in a pop casing – creating a fresh, youthful sound in a surprising amount of maturity for their ages! Truth in life, love and experience is a quality that The GiGi Sisters honour and reflect in their style of singing and they hope to spread this source of honesty with audiences of all demographics. Having fun and a sense of humour are also key aspects in their lives in general. Besides their popular YouTube channel, they also have a Facebook page: www.facebook.com/theGiGisisters. Most recently featured on the cover page of the Arts & Entertainment section of the Mississauga Newspaper, The GiGi Sisters are excited to show their music to the world and are currently working on their official demo CD.

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.

  4. Alissa & Lyz remember Fans are my favorite thing in the world. I’ve never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their friends and their fans. The line’s always been really blurred for me. I’ll hang out with them after the show. I’ll hang out with them before the show. If I see them in the mall, I’ll stand there and talk to them for 10 minutes. Go get them Girls, I have my eye on you********************************

  6. Errazors Errazors Errazors Errazors Errazors Errazors Errazors Errazors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you guys <3

  12. I agree with Jessy! A lot of the singers are good but i think that the interplay crew is the best. i have seen them perform at the balloon fiesta here in New Mexico and they are so good! They work very hard and definitely deserve to win!

  16. Natalie – I agree with your comments as we should all be proud of these kids, they are all great………

  17. Interplay is awesome and they are breath of fresh air and they are excellent role models for young kids.

  21. I HOPE THE GiGi Sisters WIN!

  23. Hey all, I would just like to take a moment to point out that Elizabeth and I are NOT famous, lol. We’re the farthest things from it. We would appreciate if you all understood that we are noticed just as much as the Errazors, and therefore we do not deserve this title any less than they do.
    Best regards and luck to all competitors, and thank you voters!

  24. Hey guys, I just want to take a second to thank everyone that has either voted for us or even believed in us at all from either when we started or as we continue in our music journey. You guys mean SO much to us, and I also wanna take a second and say that I think everyone in this competition is INSANELY talented and deserves to win this contest. Best of luck to all, and thanks to the fans! WE LOVE YOU!!! <3

  27. Querido lunatico,

    Lo siento porque hablo solo un poco Espanol, pero Alissa & Lyz no son muy famosas. Casi todas las personas que escuchan a su musica asisten a nuestra escuela y no hay muchas personas alli. Alissa & Lyz no van a ganar porque son famosas. Van a ganar porque ellas son personas muy simpaticas y muy talentosas 🙂

    Sinceramente,
    Jared Schaffer

  28. hey, alissa & lyz!!!!! i really like my sisters picture that you used for this contest!!!! where’s the photo credit though??!
    click the link to see other pictures by my sister, meghan farrell!!!

  30. alissa & liz van ganando porque son famosas solamente… deberian darle oportunidad a Errazors, ya que ellos tienen esta como unica oportunidad para surgir, en camio alissa & liz tienen trayecto y muchos eventos y ya son reconocidas ( se ve reflejado tanto en youtube y facebook)
    POR FAVOR LOS QUE VOTEN PIENSEN “QUIENES TIENEN OPORTUNIDADES? QUIEN NECESITA SUS VOTOS? QUIEN MERECE SUS VOTOS?”

    ATTE: LUNATICO LYKANZ

  33. Elwood may not be on the map- it’s got more than 10,000 people though, and it’s because it’s surrounded by places like Commack and East Northport and Greenlawn. The town as a whole has more than 200,000 people. So stop making this an argument over small-town v. big city stuff.

  34. MaluAndLily are the best, THE BEST ok? I love your songs, why? because it’s just wonderful, your work… and your SMILE make me smile. It’s not normal, it’s just wonderful. Lot of love for them xx

  35. VOTE FOR THE CHOIR ROOM CONUNDRUM!!! …… or Alissa and Lyz. Yeah, vote for Alissa and Lyz. But check out The Choir Room Conundrum on youtube! 🙂

  37. Alright yeah I’m sorry, i didn’t mean to make it sound like it wasn’t difficult. I know its very difficult, all i was trying to say is that we weren’t from a small town like everyone was saying. Sorry for making it sound like it was easy, i bet its not.

  38. lol you have no idea dude.. it’s difficult. they need everything they can get. yes they’re extremely talented and I’m a huge fan/supporter, but it’s a hard business, and catching a break usually just means that- you get lucky

  39. Yeah but we’re like 45 minutes from the city and here we have people blabbering about how its such a small town and how there’s like no people…. please we are in a suburb and there are basically 2 high schools super close(northport and harborfields) so lets chill with this “small town” crap. Other than this, don’t get me wrong alissa and lyz are amazing and I’m rooting for them of course but we don’t live in such hard to make it places like some of these guys. If they don’t makee it its not the end of the world we neighbor freaking NYC. With their talent and the things they are doing now it won’t be too difficult.

  42. Hey to all Alissa and Lyz fans, as one myself i think we should stop being rude and saying bad things to the other bands considering we are pretty much representing Alissa & Liz. Lets not make them look bad and lets keep the negative comments to ourselves even if some of of the other contestants fans get rude. Alright. 🙂

  44. These girls are amazing. They’re both of my friends older sisters and I just wish I had their voices and talents:* you girls are gonna win it all!

  45. omg i really love my sister’s picture for alissa & lyz.
    the website with this post is to her pictures. go look!! (:
    my sister, meghan farrell, is amazing at taking pictures. isn’t her photo of alissa & lyz really good?! ^^ it’s right up there if you haven’t notice (:

  48. Members of the competition- I would just like to start off with wishing the Errazors- as well as the other competitiors- the best of luck with this competition.
    First of all, I know almost all of the comments posted by people on this site, they are all either friends or fans. Some have abused the power a bit, but I would like to make it clear that Alissa & Lyz do not condone vulgar behavior or language. We try to represent the underdog, the one who doesn’t always win, and the one who doesn’t always get what they want, and that’s why this is so important to us. Fortunately, we are lucky enough to have very passionate fans and friends who support us and would also love to see us win. Some mistakes have been made, some things have been said that we wish could be taken back, and we’d like to apologize for any comments that may have been targeted at other bands. Lyz and I personally think that all competetors are extremely talented, and like I said before, we are blessed to be a part of this competition. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful to have come this far- and just because we are from America does not mean we get everything we want, either. We are fortunate enough to be able to chase our dreams, but we have nothing else over the other competitors. We all come from small towns, we all are the underdogs. We all have dreams. And none of us are ever giving up.
    Please continue to vote, I hope you see the talent of Alissa & Lyz and decide to take a chance on us.
    -Alissa

  50. Referee – Is is time to stop making negative remarks aimed at other groups entered in this contest. You are all very talented or you would’t have been selected to compete. We have another 16 days left and lets make every effort to respect one another. If you want to make a comment try to find something positive to say. Good luck to all.
