Herbie I have been surprised shocked and dumbfounded at some of the judging since I first came across Ourstage.....Fickle does not even come close...But hey...it is only a bit of fun. I have seen songs in the top ten for nearly the whole month plummet a hundred or so places in the last day....Happened to me a few times. I am still convinced that the system is flawed and sometimes the voters have a different agenda than picking the best song.

Big Jim, it ain't over till it's over. And just think, I might be doing better now had you not voted your version "Way Better" than mine. I'm finishing up a Steely Dan track to try next month. Got any new covers up your sleeve?

...yours is too like the original.LOL HA! No imagination... dang it. Well, don't hate me folks. I might actually have a shot at this thing...50 minutes till quarterfinals, and I'm "Number 9". (Appropriate somehow...number 9...number 9...) Could have been any one of us and should have been someone else as far as I'm concerned, but it looks like we still got the JPF flag wavin' at OurStage.

I wish we could stop it right now while Mark is sitting at #1. Hey Mark Congrats! on that! Despite however that whole crazy system works there Do you know how hard it is still to drop into that #1 spot? I had an instrumental there once hit #3 near the end then get blasted back! Any how the BIGGEST kick I got out of posting there was the cool comments from complete strangers. They left me great remarks and they DIDN'T have too. Especially since I totally dismantled and restructured a classic. They could have hung me for that.. Any how that to me was special. I have remember to thank all 6 of them LOL.... Kidding! I do appreciate that! PS- In all the voting I never got to vote for or against myself even once. Do they still let you do that?

Congrats Mark!
I thought there was some really nice work in the covers category and you are (just looked) at the top of the heap. I'd say that's a major accomplishment!
Best of luck between now and the end of the month!
Scott

We won't be able to live with him now..Congrats to Mark! I looked at Ourstage this morning and realized that my version has the distinction of being dead last..of all the covers even. To quote my favorite philospher, Dr. Suess, "sometimes there are winners and sometimes there are losers, but we never can win against so many Poozers." That's from I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew..in case you have a hankering to read some Dr. Suess today. I did see that mine has over 200 plays though. I guess that means over 200 people think it sucked! OK - back to work.

Take heart Wendy..... JPF got ( so far ) dead first, and dead last. There's gotta some kind of record there ? I'm going to hang out with you. I can't hang out with Mr K, cos his head won't fit through the door. cheers, niteshift

Is this it? Is the roller coaster ride finally over for the rest of us? I made it to 324 but no comments. I guess it left all 81 listeners speechless?

Wow, I just looked! There were a few songs I thought were locked in at the top that didn't make the cut...quite a re-shuffle. Well heck...If I pull this off somehow, free potato chips for any JPF friend I should ever meet in person.

Dude! You did really well, speaking from the #324 position. You're still a champion to me. Oh. Wait. That's a different thread. Nevermind!
