No, we're not giving away the actual R&B singer, Mario, but we are giving away a chance to talk to him live!

BuddyTV recently interviewed Mario, who finished in fifth place with his partner Karina Smirnoff on this season of Dancing with the Stars.  (You can read the interview here.)  He shared with us how difficult it was to balance Dancing with the Stars rehearsals with promoting his album, he finally laid to rest the rumors swirling about a possible romance between him and Karina (it was a purely professional relationship, he said), and he talked about his upcoming tour.  He was also gracious enough to offer some great prizes for a BuddyTV giveaway.  Read on to see what you can win.

Grand Prize Winner:

• Opportunity to ask Mario two questions over the phone (i.e. a chance for a fan to chat live with Mario)

• One autographed glossy photo of Mario

• One copy of Mario's latest album, Go

Runner-Up Winner:

• One autographed glossy photo of Mario

• One copy of Mario's latest album, Go

To enter to win one of these great prize packages, simply go to the Mario Contest thread in the BuddyTV forum.  Reply to the thread with one of the two questions you would like to ask Mario if you got a chance to talk to him on the phone.  You have until Tuesday, June 17 at noon ET to enter.  At that time, the thread will be closed and two winners will be selected at random.

For those of you who simply can't wait, you can buy Mario's song "Music For Love" by clicking here.
