Sounds like this may really be a great deal for those who perform. I'm not sure it brings much to the table for those of us who write lyrics or melodies... or both... and don't consider themselves performers.

To my way of thinking... there is only one contest. The "Charts" where the big boys and girls are plugged into the income stream big time... along with the songwriters who provided them with the opportunity for that success.

Good luck to those of you who can use this new "vehicle."
