Written by a high school drop out? The FAQ page has similar bad grammar. There are no 'charts', artists, previous winners or anything else. Are there really people stupic enough to give money to assholes like this?

They do it all the time because they think they will be taking the shortcut to STARDOM.

There are no shortcuts in the game of life and tons of us lose all day, every day.

Don't give leeches your hard earned money.

If it seems too good to be true, it more than likely is.

I once met a guy on Venice Beach in California who showed me his demo. He told me he spent $20,000 on it and was looking for a record deal. I spent 15 minutes lecturing the guy on the difference between a record deal and a distribution deal, how publishing rights work, how an advance works, etc etc. He was shocked that there was so much to record deals he didn't understand. Frankly, I was shocked that he had spent $20,000 and still didn't know sh*t about what he was doing.

This guy's demo was very good, and he had a lot of talent and personality. While I might have saved this guy from getting screwed, I can only imagine how many musicians don't meet the right people and end up being had.

Me thinks if he spent 20K on a demo he's already been screwed and ready to give birth.
