JPF Home Page Forums General Messages General Message Forum So Where Does Your Song Rank On Ourstage?

Hmmmmm....

Let's see if we have this all straight. Cost to participate on Ourstage: Zero. Requirements once you enter to win: Zero. Rights you give up to your songs by participating: Zero. # of JPF Members who have made the finals in the last 3 months: Over 100. JPF Members who are message board users who have won the $5000 grand prize the last 2 months: 2. (i.e. BOTH winners). And.. Ourstage is now a JPF sponsors, helping make the entire organization possible.

And here we have Big Jim among MANY other JPF members in the finals for THIS month. And the BIG problem is WHAT exactly?

If this company/site is the enemy here, I sure wish our friends were as supportive of our grassroots community.

Have they had problems? Yes. Have they worked for fix them? Yes. Have they shown good faith and good will towards not only ours, but the entire grass roots music community? Yes. Find any other site out there who is doing more for less in return. And here everyone is biting their hand because of what exactly? Because you don't like how people have voted? And that is THEIR fault?

People here spend day and night complaining about how terrible pop music is. That is ALSO controlled by fans. You realize you don't agree with their choices there.. but you expect to agree with their choices here? Remember all those deluded idiots who audition for American Idol who can't sing at all but are positive they can? Those are the same people who are posting the horrible music on Ourstage and they and their friends and family who have told them they are amazingly good are the same people who are voting. What do you all expect? When you make a system "fair" for the Democratic masses.. you get these types of results. Look at the US political system. Ever wonder how some of the complete idiots and liars and cheats get elected? It's the same people making the judgements as are voting on Ourstage. THAT my friends is an open democratic voting system. The music industry has long tried to take it out of the hands of the public and artificially control what music we get to hear and people scream bloody murder because of it. So here we have the masses voting for whoever they want and you guys aren't happy with that either.

Why blame the messenger because the message is not what you hoped? Ourstage has been gracious to every complaint and problem and comment made here. I am pretty disappointed to see them attacked unfairly.

Who else out there is doing more for less for the community other than JPF? And who is one of the sponsors of JPF? Right.
