Impossible to get off topic on Page 27 of a thread. Babette, it's a lot harder to move up the ranks when you enter later. They do say that their software takes late entries into consideration and bumps up the number of matchups for that song, but from what I've seen, your chances are much better when you enter it right away.

But the point of this place, to me, is not to win. It's to hear and be heard. I've gotten a LOT of plays on OurStage, and have met people as a result, some in the industry. I think too many people freak out about the whole contest aspect and miss the point of what they're trying to do with their music: get it heard, get it advanced, move it forward. This place does that. If you really want $100, start clipping coupons. If you want to get your music noticed for free, this is an excellent place to do it.
