It's time for "Gimme the Mike," and Monday night, was the start of an exciting new second season.

Congratulations go out to TJ Spears, from Tahlequah. The judges chose him as the winner of the week one competition. He now moves on to the grand finale.

TJ had a lot of great competition and viewers gave one of Monday night's runner-ups a chance to go to the finale as a wild card. This year you can vote over the phone or on www.kotv.com.

More than 14,000 votes were cast online and by phone. With 57% of the vote, Keevie Ridener is this week's wildcard contestant.

There will be a wild card contestant from each week of competition. Viewers decide each of them, and then vote on which wild card contestant makes it to the finale.
