Chronology
2013

The fourth season of Vote for the Girls, also known as Vote for the Girls 2013 premiered on November 1, 2012, and concluded on June 18, 2013. The site underwent a number of changes from the third season, including the move from a Wordpress site to its own domain name at {{#invoke:URL|url|1=www.voteforthegirls.us|2=}}, and the addition of The Voice. Ava Zinn and Holly Everman returned as moderators for their fourth season while Hillary Matthewson and Michelle Steele joined the judging panel following the death of Robyn Hurd. It is the first (and thus far only) season to have three transwomen (Zinn, Steele, and Matthewson) and one female (Everman) on the panel. Zinn only participated on The Voice from the Top 12 onwards and American Idol from the Top 6 to the finale as she said she was done with Idol as well as was busy launching Vote for the Girls UK and developing Vote for the Girls Australia.

This season has marked three firsts in the site's history: this season is the first to have a victory (guaranteeing a female winner) after the last male contestant was eliminated (American Idol for the site's first, and thus far, only victory); on season four of The Voice, Holly Tucker was originally selected for Top 6 week, but after the performances, the website switched to eventual winner Danielle Bradbery[1], marking the first time the website had changed its mind on which contestant to vote for based on performance alone; and lastly, multiple female winners, or VFTG Victories (Cassadee Pope and Danielle Bradbery of The Voice and Candice Glover of American Idol).


Changes from past seasons[edit]

Robyn Hurd, who had been a moderator since the first episode of the first season, died on May 24, 2012 after suffering a stroke. In November 2012, it was announced that Michelle Steele would join the moderation panel while Hillary Matthewson filled in as guest moderator until Ariel Swaringen joined the panel at the start of the following season.

There were a number of other major changes in Vote for the Girls 2013, from the moderators to the format of the site and YouTube episodes themselves including the theme song, which occurred on June 1, 2013, from Here Come the Girls by the UK girl group Sugababes (now used sparingly in the event of a Vote for the Girls Victory) to What You've Done to Me by Australian X Factor season 4 winner Samantha Jade. Ava Zinn commissioned in her role of executive producer, also commissioned uncensored versions, of which, the instrumental version the theme is used.

In May 2012, Ava Zinn confirmed that she was done watching American Idol and would only be present for the twelfth season of American Idol only if there were two females competing in the finale as she would eventually be busy in Britain launching Vote for the Girls UK and Australia developing Vote for the Girls Australia.

Therefore, Hillary Matthewson was added to the panel. There were also guest moderators planned due to the success of the guest moderators that filled in after the death of Robyn Hurd, but no guest moderators appeared.
