And the winner is….Karen Nason who wowed the audience and the judges with a song “Stand Back Love” written by Bonnie Lee Sanders and Ellen Schwartz from a show being developed called “Come up “n” see me”. Karen was born and raised in Portland, Maine. She has lived in NYC for 20 plus years and had a plant store on 26th and sixth in the plant district for over 12 years and was known as the plant lady to the stars. She always sang, but gave most of it up to raise her son and focus on her business – but now it’s her turn.
Watch her award winning performance. If you have trouble viewing the video, click here. (Video: Jim Vern)

The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
