After everyone and their mother (including our Voices site) posted this video below of Kina Grannis, the very compelling and obviously adorable singer whose clever ditty about Digg (complete with pop-up-from-behind-the-couch backup singers) became a viral hit last week, Hollywood arrives with potentially piqued interest.

Grannis is also one of the 10 semifinalists competing in Dorito’s “Crash the Superbowl” contest on MySpace to win a contract with Interscope Records and to have a 60-second video played during the game. Fans can vote through tomorrow.
