tuesdainoelle | September 17, 2008
...can I just be honest, I like the idea/message of the contest w/ prizes followed there in, it’s GREAT for someone who “dreams” of being in a stars “presence” rather than being right next to the star and the “presence” is equal. I don’t like or desire to be in any shadow or presence unless, I get to be showcased as Tuesdai. Not to sound “ugh like” or mean about it, it is indeed inspiring, but contest like seem as thought; They always show a “FAN” that’s star stuck and anxious for a celebrity’s attention (reason for them entering automally) more so, than a person with a huge talent that entered wanting to be recognized in that moment for who they are, for they are LONG overdue for being noticed. Maybe, I’ll always be the only who comes to comment on here, who thinks they are just “as good as “, rather than just being satisfied as another number in a crowd once upon a time. Just sayin…but Congrads at the winners in advance :)
RosJen28 | September 17, 2008
Hmmm.. I might try this. Smooches Ye.
GregParker | September 17, 2008
@ Tuesdai--Very true, I feel the same way...I would rather win and be acknowledged for my music..be featured at the show or something, not as some fanatic thats just star-struck backstage..Im not directly hating on the contest, but the underlying motive of it is messing with me. I feel as if im going thru a lot of stuff just to "hang with the stars." Why should I have to pay 20 dollars, dedicate a lot of time to making a video, and all I get is to hang out...To some of u it may sound arrogant or unappreciative, but its just how I feel. One day I will be able to hang with the stars for my true accomplishments in the music industry, not from a contest that views me as a fanatic....

Well said Tues! =)
essi | September 17, 2008
@tuesdainoelle and GregParker, "(1) Lucky submission will have their video snippets appear in the Official "Dreaming of Your Love" video." you c, the effort isn't useless!! the video of 1 winner will be used!! and there for he's talent will be a lil bit acknowledged
GregParker | September 17, 2008
@Noelle156--Tony is Kanye's cousin..dont know where he is from though, probably Chicago more than likely..
I_dream_of_Jeanie | September 17, 2008
i wanna be the judge. this is a great idea.
TLSW5000 | September 17, 2008
A lot of artist are doing this kind of thing now. It's a good way to possibly get exposure, but ultimately I think of it as the artist looking for the next big thing and being able to either say that they jumpstarted that person's career or getting free labor out of someone instead of paying big bucks to get an A-List Director...Neither of which can I say is a bad idea....

@ESSIS I agree with you this contest could help someone whom has been struggling for timeee to get recognition for their work. In regards to being seen as a FAN as others have expressed, that shouldn’t really come into it, cos that is what you are anyways, (we are all fans of anything to an extent) its all to do with your intention and how you carry yourself. If your crazy and win, so be it, talented and win a gift from GOD. Although its true that at times the long way is usually the best way to be fulfilled, to not enter a competition because of your FEARS of not feeling or being seen credible when you know INSIDE YOURSELF that you have what it takes to win and open yourself to wider opportunities, would be letting PRIDE get in the way of your dreams, which as humans we are all guilty of at times. This is a gooood project for someone with the right vision and intension to elevate themselves, think of it as a stepin’ stone to launch something of ur own, not a label of laziness, coz
Yaasakaa | September 17, 2008
--coz if ur not real you wont last a MINUTE, when its all OVER its time for you to let your LIGHT SHIINE an’ start running the show. Hopefully that’s when you start seeing your dreams form into your reality.
Anyways that’s what I feel on the matter, I hear what the others r saying still… but hey, don’t knock till u tryyy it you might be surprizzzed…lol
@ KANYE IS THIS THING ONLY FOR RESIDENTS IN THE USA??
wetheroses | September 17, 2008
@Yaasakaa: what's up with your 3DUBS(www) LOL...if you have a blog, let me know, b/c your insight is inspiring.
DonSuave | September 17, 2008
@tuesdai-its always apleasure to read comments from a legit fan and not a groupie. You sound serious and well educated, maybe 1 day i'll check your blog.
Good
luck to the winner!!!
