The Fourth Annual Video Madness tournament is underway and for this year we have 12 competing videos from all levels of country stars, from superstars (Sara Evans, Tracy Lawrence) Rising stars (Jerrod Niemann) to upcoming stars (Joe Bachman, Tyler Farr). Sarah, Tracy and Jerrod are joined by Craig Campbell in earning first round byes due to their recent success, with Craig Campbell's previous success (winner or Runner-up each year) on each year of this contest gaining him the first round bye. What this means is that these four artists have a first round bye in thier regions and will fight the winners of the first round to go to the final four video portion to happen next week!

The contenders for this first round are Natalie Stovall & The Drive vs. Joe Bachman in Region 1, Robby Johnson vs. The Black Lillies in Region 2, Austin Webb vs. Katie Armiger in region 3 and Tyler Farr vs Small Town Pistols in Region 4.

Finally, the final two winners will battle to see who will follow Craig Campbell, Andy Gibson and Aaron Lewis in being crowned the winner of the Roughstock's Annual Music Video Madness.
While all these video votes are in good fun, we have a handful of prize packs to give away featuring swag (CDs and/or photos, shirts, hats, etc) from EACH artist in the contest so that means if you win that contest you will get something cool from each artist, not just one item from each of the artists.
