The winner will be contacted by phone.Lauper, known for her Queens, N.Y. accent, wild hair that changes colors often and her offbeat fashion sense, took the music world by storm with her first album "She's So Unusual" in 1983.
Lauper won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist and became the first female artist in history to have five top-10 singles from a debut album.A mixture of teen-friendly pop-rock and edgier, almost punky sounds, the album's biggest hit, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," quickly established itself as a female anthem.
Along the way, she has continually won accolades as a singer, musician, actress, and writer. She has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, 2 Emmy Awards, 2 American Music Awards, 7 American Video Awards and 18 MTV Awards.
Her other most successful songs are "Time After Time" (1984, #1 US, #2 UK), "She Bop" (1984, #3 US), "All Through The Night" (1984, #6 US), "True Colors" (1986, #1 US), "Change of Heart" (1986, #3 US) and "I Drove All Night" (1989, #6 US, #7 UK).
Lauper, whose voice range is four octaves, is ranked #58 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock N Roll.
And says, Lauper: "You always have to remember — no matter what you're told — that God loves all the flowers, even the wild ones that grow on the side of the highway."
