Some of this sounds like sour grapes to me, OL, which is a shame. He deserves to have the ride of his life without backseat drivers telling him all about his behaviorDoesn't britney spears deserve that too!!LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE:((

I guess we'll seeBut that doesn't mean you should have an ego the size of Texas and nowhere on any boards do I see any act of being humblePeople on other forums are even calling you out and complaining about you begging for votes so sure one can look at that as good marketing but another person can see that as you not being confident enough in your own song that it could standout on its own without you telling everyone and their grandma to vote for it and for them to vote every other song a 1, come on dude have some prideI'll probably get attacked by the minions in here but it needed to be said and I said itListen to Sara Bareilles - Love song psmitty, it's not exactly like yours but its close enough to the concept plus its a current international hit, also check Rascal Flatts- The words I didn't sayIt is a good song though after listening to it again I just think it'll be an indie, which isnt bad either but who knows maybe if you get your big break it could be a major cutWhy don't you post a thread in the AI forums and ask if people there agree with your assessment of my "ego" and your allegations of my efforts to force them to vote for my song. If you have been watching, you have seen me spend considerable time answering questions, telling of my short experience as a songwriter and encouraging many others. You will see post after post thanking me for spending the time; for hanging around even after making the top 20. Other top 20 writers have shown up int he forums to get vottes. I was there before the news, offering opinions, chatting with new songwriters, offering demo advice, etc. Now you come here and try to convince those who have not been over there that all I am doing is telling people to vote for me? You are dishonest to say the least.Again, so everyone knows, Ontario/Airun PM'd me and asked for a co-write. When I didn't respond, and then made the top 20, he went around to the forums bashing me. Wonder why?Perry

[pesmitty]

Ontario/Airun, do not PM me again. I am sure if I spent the time, I could figure out how to block you, but how about just respecting my request. Do not do it. You seem to have a strange need to follow me around the internet and bash me and send me links to forums where people hate my song. You're an odd dude, and I would rather you find another object to obsess on. Peace,Perry
