if you scroll right down to the bottom of that page you will see a small link saying contest terms(i think thats what i saw and ive read), as i too was bemused to see a 'week 6'. in total there are 12weeks and the contest ends in may(cant remember exactly what i read). but keep voting as it is great to see that he has made it through to week 6 starting in 2nd place. we have to get him to 1st place in order for the 'public vote' to get him through to the quarter finals... phew - hope that makes sense!! ;D Thanks...thats a very small link down there...and I am now as confused as hell! Still think there could be a more obvious part of the website that summerised the idea and rules so us lazy people who can't be bothered to scrutinize every part of the site can see...and maybe they could simplify it!

OK, as I see it: Each week for 12 weeks you can vote for your favourite video (we are at week 6 so plenty of time). At the end of the week one vid will be chosen by the judges and one vid will be chosen as the one with the most votes. Both of these will go forward to the quarter finals. This means a total of 24 vids in each of the 3 categories will be in the quarter finals (72 in all). (With me so far?) For the quarter final the vids will be put up for one week. You will be able to vote for these as before. 12 will be eliminated on votes together with the judges decisions in each category - 12 will therefore go foward to the semi-final in each category. Same rules for the semi-final with another week to vote. Just 2 winners will then be chosen from each category by the judges. They will then go forward to the final. (This bit is copied as I think it is explained well and my brain hurts!) At the end of the Final Round, which will be on or about May 14, 2007, the Finalist Judges will select one (1) potential Grand Prize winner in each music genre (for a total of three (3) potential Grand Prize winners) to receive the Grand Prize described below. In the event of a tie during the Final Round, the Sponsor will select the tied participant with the highest combined score in the categories of Musicianship and Performance Skills. Hopefully this is right, it may just be useful if you don't want to go and read the long and complicated rules. *goes for a lie down*

Sadly, Sammie, it's not just about talent or he would already have a contract. It's also a lot about luck, being in the right place at the right time and having the look and sound for the "moment." Still, this is a chance for us to help and it appears we're now going to be in it for the long haul if our voting is to be any use.
One question though. If we get him through this week does that mean we don't have to vote again until the finals? If he goes through now, then from the way I understand the rules (thanks Debbie) surely they would remove his video from the weekly voting?

Kathy i wondered the same regarding would they remove his video....i guess were all in it for the long haul.

I have a new game - trying to guess who the 'comments' are from and spotting any familiar names attached. Give it a go!

Btw, you can put the video on your homepage, myspace or whatever page (if you haven't already).
