Was Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney Or Bruce Springsteen This Good At Seventeen?
He's young -- just seventeen. He's charismatic. He's talented. He is fast building a repertoire of impressive songs. And he is already topping a music chart the likes of which the world has not yet seen!
His name is Anthony Melillo and at the moment stands at the top of the recently-inaugurated Alive with Clive Top 20 Music Chart with over five times more votes than his nearest competitor.
The Alive with Clive Top 20 was created by Clive Swersky, host and producer of the popular and inspiring television show known as Alive with Clive -- Turning Your Passion Into Profit!
The Alive with Clive Top 20 consists of musicians who have been guests on Alive with Clive. Ranking in the Alive with Clive Top 20 is determined first by the number of votes cast at www.alivewithclive.tv, the Official Web site for Alive with Clive, and then by the number of plays on a musician's My Space page.
Other dynamic emerging musicians who have been making major moves up the Alive with Clive Top 20 Music Chart in recent days include Cassandra Kubinski, Jeneen Terrana, and Joséphine Ancelle.
The Alive with Clive Top 20 Music Chart is updated biweekly and the most recent chart was published at 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 3, 2008.
One song from each musician who is in the Alive with Clive Top 20 on the last day for voting is going on a compilation CD consisting of 20 songs. Clive's plan is to sell at least 50 million CDs (or a downloadable version of the CD) for $20 each to raise at least a billion dollars for people suffering from AIDS in South Africa.
"That's My Son," one of the songs performed by Anthony Melillo and his brothers, Joe and Nick, during their interview on Alive with Clive is available for viewing on YouTube and can be seen after clicking on the following link or copying and pasting it into your Web browser:

"I believe every son wants his parents to hear That's My Son," says Clive, "and I also believe it is destined to be a # 1 hit all over the world. Now, the question remains: Were Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney or Bruce Springsteen this good at seventeen?"
Alive with Clive is broadcast on Channel 76 in White Plains on Mondays at 8.30 p.m. and on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. It is also broadcast at other times in certain other areas in Westchester. Segments of some of the shows will soon be available for viewing on the Internet. For more information about the show, guests who have been on the show, musicians who are eligible for inclusion in the Alive with Clive Top 20 and voting for the musicians, visit www.alivewithclive.tv
