After a long and hard season of MTV’s latest reality show Rock the Cradle, which had rock star offspring going head-to-head in a singing competition, Crosby Loggins came out on top, trumping the other two finalists, Chloe Lattanzi (Olivia Newton-John’s daughter) and Jesse Blaze Snider (Dee Snider’s son).
“It feels very surreal,” admitted Loggins of his win. “My ultimate goal was to get second.” Despite going for a modest second-place finish, Crosby managed to take home the grand prize of $100,000 and a contract with Jive.
During the final three’s last performances (which was attended by another famous singer, Britney Spears), each artist’s legendary musician parent took the stage with them. “That was fun,” says Loggins of performing with his dad Kenny. “It was a little hokey, but every time I sing with him I sing better.”
“I’m thrilled he won!” chimed in proud papa Kenny. “This show has ended the drama of how hard it is to be the son of Kenny Loggins. He’s a serious performer and he earned this.”
In the eyes of their famous parents, all three were winners. “She did a great job!” Newton-John said of her daugher Chloe, who boasted, “Being the last girl standing was pretty sweet!”
“I thought Chloe was going to take us both out!” chuckled Jesse outside of his dressing room, while his dad Dee added, “Whatever happens he won to me!”
As for what’s next for winner Crosby Loggins, he says he plans to “appreciate this moment of mainstream success.” –Jessica Herndon
