On November 16, Teen People hosted the second annual 2003 Artist of the Year party, honoring the hottest recording artists on the charts after the American Music Awards. The party, held at the Avalon Hollywood, offered something unique this year by giving celebrities and attendees the opportunity to sign a petition to Congress to ensure that America’s youth get the music education they deserve. The petition is the second tier of a petition drive started last year by AMC and the Justin Timberlake Foundation. The celebrities also had the opportunity to pledge their donation of a signed musical instrument to the cause at a later date. Numerous celebrities lent their support to music education by signing their names to the petition, including Nick Lachey, Jessica Simpson, Ashley Simpson, JC Chasez, Run DMC, 3LW, Clay Aiken, Pauly Shore, cast members of the hit shows The O.C. and Everwood, Amber Tamblyn of Joan of Arcadia, and Teen People’s Artist of the Year Sean Paul.

It seems that all the celebrities in attendance could use some music education. I support this. Where do I send my $5.00?
OMG…you guys are totally rude here! Lay off these guys long enough to realize that Saving the Music in our schools is something that is very important! I’m a strong advocate for Music in Our Schools, and I’ll do whatever I have to! For some of you to come here and use this as a way to trash and bash….it’s such a shame!
