I disagree. I think your chances are much better of doing well with an early entry. But if another song that's better than mine comes in late and does well, that's fine with me.

But I have an entirely different view of OurStage than you do...and it's not because of all that whisky you drink...I view it as a showcase, whereas you view it as a contest.

If I won $5000, I'd be very pleased and surprised. $100 I don't care so much about. (Being from Scotland, of course, you'd happily bash my head in with a golf club for a hundred bucks...but I feel pretty safe over here in Minnesota. wink ) What I do care about is getting my work in the public eye, and I think this is great for that. Winning...that's overrated.
