I have used it and I thought it was a great way to have my song critiqued without having people take a shot at my stuff...it is fair and anonymous...there were over 700 entries in my catagory...my song made it to #70...that means my song was thought of as at least more liked than 90% of all the songs...or it made it into the top 10% of all those songs...it made me feel good...this way no ones feeling get hurt by a harsh review...you still can post your lyrics at JPF and work on it and get crits...then when the song is ready to record go to the Ourstage site and have at it...the voting will let you know where your stuff fits in... Wow Ted, thanks for sharing! I wasn't aware that some JPF folks may have already posted some of their songs at Our Stage. And you got top 70 out of 700 entries, that's pretty good! We could certainly use Our Stage to get some meaningful feedback from an unbiased worldwide "marketplace" of fans, especially since we'd be exposed to people that have never heard of us (yet) and therefore can judge only by what they hear and not by our personality or fame, etc. MP3 Forum idea...I'd love to get something going on our MP3 boards where each month we could all pick or maybe "vote" for a song (from among us songwriters) that might have the best shot at winning the next contest at Our Stage. Of course we can individually decide which of our songs (if any) to upload, but I thought it would be cool to get everyone's input... like of all songs posted for the "Our Stage" pre-contest review, which song/s for each genre (channel) might have the greatest chance of winning. That might prompt some writers to specifically upload those songs. Then they could report back their contest ranking(s) and maybe some of us will win the cash prizes! It could be a fun thing to participate in! Maybe cash-prize winners could donate 10% (or whatever) back to JPF to say "thanks guys for helping me pick my winner!" Of course all donations would be only suggested and purely voluntary, but I bet most folks will be more than happy to "recycle" a bit of their booty!  Due to the sheer size and numbers of JPF members, I bet we could "stage" more winners than almost any other musician's group in the world. Somebody's got to win, so why not us? Michael
