This year, the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest gave one musician the chance to have a single turned into a music video (and Doritos commercial) for Sunday's Super Bowl. The winner: Kina Grannis, a 22-year-old singer-songwriter from California, whose "Message From Your Heart" aired early in Sunday's game. The song is also now available from iTunes, and Doritos and Grannis also teamed to make a full music video for the song.

I was a little surprised that such a folky song would be the winner — wouldn't people watching the Super Bowl be ready to rock? Still, the snippet in the ad was sweet and catchy, if a little generic, and it scored Grannis a record deal with Interscope Records. What did you think of it? Check out the ad and then let me know if you liked Grannis and her Doritos tune.

I didn't get to see it. I'm intrigued.
1Oh, and I can't watch it now at work because I don't have speakers...but I will check out the clip at home. Thanks buzz!
2I think it is awesome what Doritos did for her. And I think it's a cute song too.
3I think it was a good idea, but I didn't think that that song was very good.
4She reminds me of Michelle Branch. I liked it. The first song by a new signer is usually generic anyways
5i thought it was kind of boring. There were better bands that could've won I think
6Gah it was horrible, I listened to it and my hand was twitching for the mute button, but I stuck through it, and thank goodness no part of it is remembered in my brain. I would off myself if it was "catchy" you know?
7Not a fan.
8Meh...
9I was so not impressed with the song. Boring!
10that was such a boring song. really, who voted for this?
11I went to the myspace page for the contest. I really think there were better people in the contest than the winner. Gina Cutillo and Metafore were my picks. I don't know who votes for these things but I think It should be quality of the music and lyrics and not who can get the most people to vote. It sort of isnt fair. Maybe Kina can go far but I am not a fan.
12When she first started singing, I really didn't think she had that great of a voice and the song was kind of generic. I didn't go see who the other contestants were so I don't know what kind of competition she had. I don't know. I think she'll be forgotten in a few months.
13boring, bland, generic and hence why the music industry is a load of b.s.
14well of course she won, once she got all of digg behind her
15I haven't heard this song yet...i haven't got earphones and am work
but i've heard
her other stuff before on youtube and think she's really great and talented. She did a song for Digg.com called gotta digg which it pretty catchy...nut i personally love her orginal called
Stay just a little. look it up on youtube if u get a chance.
16God...i just read my own comment and just gotta say sorry for the typos...make me sound like i really can't spell or speak english
17I think she sounds good, its a cute little song
18i thought it was pretty generic... but okay. lots of that kind of stuff seems to be out right now.
19Song, eh.
Video from hulu? Way better quality than YouTube.
20I'm surprised it won. It's nothing special. ;/
21i liked it - but i wasn't wowed by the whole thing. there was such a great build up in the commercials that i thought it was going to be something big - and she's very 'michelle branch' which is fine - don't get me wrong but it was very anticlimactic
22I like this song; it's rather cute and sweet. It's pretty cool that Kina is so young (graduated from college last year) and that she is making a name for herself now. She is actually a friend of a few people I know so it is nice to see that things are going well for her. I like that her voice is pure and that song in particular isn't muddied by tons of music in the back.
23She sounds just like Colbie Caillat, whom I don't like.
24love the song, but not very fitting for the brand
