We’re not surprised Carly Calbero made it to the final four of Rolling Stone’s Street to Stage contest. After all, the Marysville teen won Seattle Met’s Battle of the Buskers with a terrific acoustic cover of Michael Jackson’s "Beat It" (see below)—and Pike Place Market regulars have always shown a lot of love for this curbside musician.

Your votes determine the winner. Visit rollingstone.com/sprintstreet to support the hometown girl, who’s up against guys from Los Angeles, Atlanta, and New Orleans for the chance to sing professionally in the Rolling Stone Rock Room in Austin, Texas, during “one of the biggest music festivals in the nation.” (Hm, might you mean SXSW, not-so-subtle RS editors?)

Go Carly.
