Tammy, I hope you don't lose your home, I don't have that worry, I have no mortgage.
As far as Ourstage goes, I think, like Brian said, it would be a fairer contest if there were no prizes. There would be less of this block voting (I believe) and you'd get more honest feedback. $100.00 is not a great prize ($5000.00 is), but some people will do just about anything so they can boast that they won cash for one of their songs. My aim was just to finish in the top ten, which I did a few times, but lately I can't get a look-in, while the quality of the top ten has gone down, so there has to be some block voting. I'm fast losing interest, I'd like to compare my songs against other songs on a level playing field, but not against a bunch of street teamers that vote for their song regardless.
The more you taste the bitterness of defeat, the sweeter final victory will be
May the flowers of love forever bloom in your garden of life
