On October 27, Kristy Starling will appear as a judge for Today’s vocal competition although it was only last fall since she was discovered, after winning second place from a crowd of 4,000 contestants on NBC’s Today’s Superstar.

"I'm extremely excited to be making a return visit to the show," comments Starling. "The NBC staff has been so great and the exposure and once in a lifetime opportunity they've given me has changed my life more than I ever imagined. I jump at any offer to go back and be involved with Today, especially this time where I get to sit on the sidelines and be involved, but not have the performance jitters knowing five million people are watching me sing!"
