I guess I don't understand soundstage folks so help me out if you can. I siged up was going to post a song, checked the categories. Under folk music the number one position was held by a European lady doing techno music. Good job also but that isn't folk to me, it is pretty hard for a folk singer to compete with modern music in a folk category. Likewise with the exception on country I find that to me more the case then not so I pass on soundstage. Am I wrong or missing something. by the way my friend barry closed out number 1 in bluegrass I think he got a shopping voucher or something. Likewise I dont see a way of deleting your music once it is uploaded. Uploaded a song couldn't delete it. wrote them and they told me they don't have a delete capability yet ... what the heck is that about on a copyrighted song by the artist and he can't delete his own music

don't understand soundstage so please set me straight my friends

Dan,

You've hit on the mysteries of OurStage quite well (LOL!). They will delete songs for you if you ask in an email. I think they like keeping them there for "historical" needs. I wish you could just obsolete or retire songs that you don't want to see any more. Right now it is tough to manage stuff if you want to upload a new version. All in all, I give the site a thumbs up, though. They are filling a very interesting niche and the pluses far outweigh the minuses (IMO).

My stuff bombs out there all the time (I'm always in the bottom 1/3 or worse) -- but that just means I'm not commercial. It's not OurStage's fault, it's my voice and performance.

Hi Nitepiano. A belated congratulations. If you check some earlier posts on this thread, you'll find out the answer to your question.
Now that there's no comedy genre, I've entered into other genres and have been pleasantly rewarded with more plays(this is those other than the battles). So I'm getting more exposure now than I ever did in comedy - although I'm not placing as high. In the end the exposure is worth more.

I must confess that I've been otherwise occupied and not had a look at Our Stage for quite some time. I intended removing last month's entries from this month's competition, especially since they peaked at around #1430, but never got around to it.
Anyway, this month's Our Stage newsletter helped jog my memory, so I went to the site and saw that my folk entry "Weight Of The World" was sitting in the #1 spot. Is this a joke?
Funny old world innit?
Cheers,
Steve R.

Mark,
did my lawyers contact you yet? Please remove 'your' song "Weight Of The World" from any and all promotional avenues forthwith. Or even fifthwith. Oh yeth...
Thanks for the words of welcome, by the way. It's been a while since I contributed anything worthwhile (if ever). I really must make more of an effort. Funny; that's what my wife always says.
Good luck with your music.
Cheers,
Steve R.

Mark,
Is "Weight Of The World" on there? I didn't see it, but then I did get distracted by your cover of The Kinks' "Picture Book". I love that song and I have to say that you did it proud. Brilliant job, mate. I have to run, but I'll be listening to more later. Your affection for the song definitely shows; there's no hiding it.
Cheers,
Steve R.

Mark,
had a listen to Weight Of The World and really liked it. You really have a cool and assured delivery. Do you have a band or do you do the solo thing?
I would have listened to more but I was listening at work and it kept closing Safari on me; don't know why. It's a shame because I was looking forward to hearing you have a bash at "Hey Bulldog" (another one of my faves). Maybe tomorrow.
All the best with your music,
Steve R.

I stuck a couple in the April contest on a whim and my instrumental is presently number 1, so I am bragging now because it probably will never happen again.

Whow. Has interest in OurStage waned a bit. There's almost a month between the previous post and this one. Just entered "White Collar Man" in Contemporary. Got up to 236 quickly. I have no live show going on anymore(A wife, teenage son, 2yr son, and newborn daughter kinda makes that impossible if I'm gonna do right by my family). So it's just whatever fan base I can develope online. Contemporary is a good genre for exposure. I had lots of plays with it the last time I put it there. One can find out how many songs are entered by selecting that genre to judge. I agree with Big Jim that it seems pointless to list only the top 100 at any given time during the competition. If one wants to eliminate abuses, just refrain from listing the current standings. Yeah it takes away the "transparency"(boy is that word overused lately)but it's worth not giving those who abuse that listing a means to try to fix a contest. As long as the contestant can know their current standing, that's sufficient.

Ron,

They used to be JPF Sponsors and their site has changed greatly since we were involved (we at one time helped them with their genres etc. but all that has changed with new management). I can't vouch for what you will find there today as I think it is much much different than it once was, but feel free to let us know what you found!

Please someone inform me as to how I can get one of my demos into this contest. This is the one I would like to be first.

This apparently is the link to the entire dashboard on this site. The ones I would like to promote first are "Lady of the Books" and "Jeannie (I Didn't Mean to Hurt You).

Just go on the site and follow the instructions. At least that's what I did.

What is this site all about? First time I've seen this. Not much info on site, not unless you join which I don't like doing without knowing what I'm joining.

Didn't realize this was a like to Number One Music, which I am already on and have all 17 of my demos on there. Don't believe it is connected to JPF, is it?

To me,
It seems like a streaming site where people are going to hear, mostly new, original music. They offer the contests as a way to get singer/songwriters and bands/artists to upload their music to them. they do not sell downloads of your songs. They have a sister site, AmazingTunes.com where you can upload your songs, and they say, take 100% of the profit. As Brian said above, they used to be a sponsor for JPF but no longer are.

These guys were Sponsors from their inception until after the 2009 Music Awards. Our contact who was an artist like most here has gone on to become a best selling author Daniel Palmer. Great guy. Once he left and we stopped working with each other they significantly changed their format. I am not even currently aware of who is running it or what their site is doing. I reached out to them to show them this post and that it still gets very good traffic, but they didn't even respond so I haven't really looked into them further after that. I have no idea any current info about them. They were legit back then and may well be now, but I can't confirm if I can't even evoke a response from them.

I just put one on for the first time in a while. "You Shine", my co-write with Simon Kay. So far it started out at 95th and is up to 45th in 4 days. Hopefully it continues to climb.

After joining Ourstage and uploading a track I clicked the link to go to their Amazing tunes (sister site).
Clicked to join and a screen explained that Amazingtunes no longer takes new users, but to head to their sister site, (amazingradio.us). there you have to pay a fee to become a member and upload a song...

Price: $30.00 Upload Limit: 8 tracks.

I decided not to as Its $30 for each artist and I have many singers doing my songs.

God Bless to all

Sounds like another scheme to get money from songwriters to make someone rich.

I agree. I hadn't tried to upload any to sell so I didn't know. Thanks for the info.

It could be but if you only use the contest part of it, you have nothing to lose and more people get to hear your music. I don't figure to ever get rich doing this but I like to share, though no free downloads...
