I am a lawyer. Never was good at math. Somehow I was thinking that they will be taking one out of every 2000, I just needed to be the best out of my group of 2000!!! Thanks for your comments, Andre.

Holy Crap! Perry's song made the Top 20! HUUUUUUGE congrats to you & Audiorayne for an AWESOME achievement!You must be so unbelievable stoked right now...you've got my vote for sure!Best of luck,André

Hi there,Brilliant song, congratulations!!! The rest of them are damn good too Lindsey

Yeah, the competition is stiff, for sure. Thanks guys and thanks for the encouragement. I am the definition of an amateur in this stuff and I got pretty lucky. No, really, really, lucky. Bottom line: Without Logan's incredible vocal; no chance. He sold the song like no one else could sell it.I don't think I will sleep tonight.Perry

As I have mentioned here and at other forums (at which I used Andre's song as an example of the high level of competition), I believe Andre's song was extremely worthy and my position is the same notwithstanding the competition. I feel very very lucky. And I cannot say it enough--Logan sold it for me!!!

Hi Andre - Thanks for your reply - I am sort of assuming that you are registered/logged in..... In order to vote or even register it seems you need to be a U.S resident! I am trying to do 10 things at once - so I could be wrong!

Here's a wink to Aub's moving song as well. I'm a bit bummed to see that, as with last year, no songwriter info is shown in the AI Media player (or anywhere else on the site that I can see). I hope that info is made public at some point...anyone who gets this far deserves some recognition (and maybe some business) for it on a grand scale!André

They will put the bios and info up AFTER THE VOTING IS CLOSED. Last year the Bios, pictures and songs (without lyrics for some reason) stayed up for the whole year. In fact, they are still up right here:http://www.americanidol.com/songwriter/ ... ants.xhtml
