  • What's Going On With The Top 1

    • From: Sincere
    • Description:

      We apologize for the confusion there is a widget issue were fixing. The Top 10 are and going into final round:

      jael
      RobynZ
      mikelyrik
      KatieConley
      Sincere
      Kim Desir
      Kerri Lynn
      RayDawn
      Imagin 276
      Kobina

      Spotlight

      I've emailed Lincoln several times asking them about this but for some reason they don't feel inclined to reply to me, and since no one else is talking about this, I'm wondering why the top 10 on the homepage keeps changing along with the Highest Rated page. If these "deadlines" were supposed to be actual "cutoffs" then why are all these videos that didn't make the most recent cut (even the top 25 and top 20 cuts) starting to arrive in the top 10? This is no type of disrespect to these videos but at the same time it takes away from the actual top 10 videos that actually made the cut. It's not fair for people to be able to just come back after they already did not make the cut.

      I don't expect these people to stop doing what they're doing but something needs to be done, whether by lincoln or by voters. The top 10 as of 2pm WST (5pm EST) Apr 15 were : (I forgot the exact order after my video)

      Robynzdotnet - Somethin In Common

      MikeLyrik - American Dream

      Sincere - Reach For The Sky

      Kim Desir - On My Way

      Raydawn - Dreams that drive me

      Jael - Your Season

      Kobina - Live Your Dream

      Kerrilyn - Reach for your Dreams

      BeonPnt - Inside Track

      Imagin276 - Got to Believe

      Again this is not disrespect in anyway but I believe these videos are the ones that need to be focused on especially since there is only one cutoff coming up April 29th. I believe Robynzdotnet congratulated all of the top 10 also so that also will tell you which videos made top 10 BY THE CUTOFF . Thank you

      I just wanted to drop a message to all of the top 10. Through all of the madness that was the voting system, you survived! I truly believe the best of the best are here now. This competition has been great and I look forward to seeing the winner crowned. Keep working hard in whatever you do daily and keep reaching higher.

  • A note to the haters

      A note to the haters

      Some things do not deserve a reply I know, Yet I still wonder, what motivates these particular individuals to write these nasty remarks. I'd say do something, write something, create something then you won't feel so bad.

      I have been extremely busy with my band and my agency rehearsing, recording, shooting. We have been performing all around Manhattan we have been in the bodog Battle of the bands as well.


      Three weeks ago, I had posted a blog about the making of this video, which was quite challenging.

      For those who would like to know a little more about me, I work with a great group of people. Wonderful artists, singers, producers, directors, agents. I have a beautiful following and simply registered for this contest to write something uplifting for Lincoln Spotlight. My body of work you can find at www.myspace.com/kobinaevolution.

      Be blessed and I remain to do what I have decided to do a long time ago, to be the Mandingo Warrior of Peace and Truth I was born to be, wielding my sword against injustice, ignorance and hatred, clearing a path for respect, dignity and a Greater Love.

      Thank you very much for all those who voted for my video. Please come and see us at one of the
      upcoming concerts.

      Love,

  • Popularity or Talent

    • From: dee
    • Description:

      I'm just a fan of good music and love to support those thats trying to do something positive. I think everyone should have a chance to vote on videos but who is to say it's fair. If you have John Doe that has 400 ratings but did not follow the rules then you have Jane Doe that may have 95 ratings but followed the rules,If your going by ratings who is to say that the person who followed the rules will be in the top 5 even though they have a nice song and video? just something to think about.So is it popularity or talent?

  • THIS Lincoln CONTEST 40+ 30 +3

    • From: caseyfour4
    • Description:

      I heard about this Lincoln- Common competitionthrough several artists myspace pages and I was so eager to get on here and see someamazing Original vi deos with Verbal Technique and visually sophisticated material!

      I'm no artist myself but I think I speak for most music consumers and contest voters when I say I'm a little disappointed.
      But hey, with shows like american idol, it is evident that are an overwhelming amount of people who have dreams and their heart is in the right place, but that is the only thing in teh right place.

      With the exception of few , there are so many top videos that are all about the artist and what they are wearingOR how many different locations they can film at.
      That's not original at all, especiallyif thats THE ONLY THING that is in the video. I've seen comments saying "boring" and I couldn't agree MORE.
      Where is the WOW or the AWWWW, and the HAHAHAHAA and the OOHHH SNAP, what was that? or DID YOU SEE THAT??
      Some have it, but many don't :(

      And verbal technique: I've listened to all 25 top videos and there are some who's lyrics I can't make out... Not because I wasn't trying, but because theres not much verbal technique consideration. Just because you can rhyme or sing, doesn't mean the listner is going to understand each word- SO TRY TO BE MORE CLEAR.. PLEASE!

      AND as far as VISUAL SOPHISTICATION, this goes back to the first point.
      What is SO visually sophisticated about watching someone or people just standing in different places or in one place, doing their art? Where is the element that makes the viewer say "Oh Im gonna remember this video because of that..."

      Surely we've all seen videos that made us remember them before. Michael Jackson's face morphing in "Black or White" or dancing as a zombie creature in "Thriller", or even Kanye West "All Falls Down" where we are wondering where he is until we see his reflection in the bathroom mirror. I know no one here has a big budget like those artists, but that's where creativity comes in!

      This is NOT coming from a "hater". I'm just so eager to see originality,uniqueness and evolution in the music industry. So many artists have dreamsof becomingthe next (so and so) but how about being the FIRST (your artist name here)!

      Those are the artists who make waves and get other artists who aspire to be like THEM!

      Good luck to you all and I hope Lincoln gets it right when the winner is announced!

      feel me.

  • The Voting Process

    • From: craster
    • Description:

      I myself believe that Common and Lincoln should be the only judges in this situation, after all, they are the professionals who arranged this contest. I feel we the people should be able to express our opinions for the videos we enjoy even if it means choosing all of them. Take the word “vote” out of the equation. You should make clear that Common and Lincoln are the people who will make the final choice. If you give us the right to choose who we like best, then allow us to do so, letting us know that we are not the final judge, this just might stop the constant competitive nature of the beast and give the people who work hard on their video the moral support they need, especially in this profession. No one deserves to be knocked down, no one needs to feel degraded, there is enough going on in this world, not to mention life is just too short. Where is the respect we have for our fellow man? If you are saying the final cut is based on 40% originality, 30% verbal technique and 30% visual sophistication, then that should make it original, verbally, technically and visually up to the professionals to make the choice, to vote, who they feel best qualifies as the winner. Keep the main focus on what it should be, don’t get off key………thank you giving these very talented people a chance to do what they do best and for allowing us to post our opinions and let us all play nice.

  • Voting Alternative

    • From: RayDawn
    • Description:

      Ok, I understand that every registered member should have the right to rate any video they choose. However, it can be argued that the rating system is greatly flawed. In a Utopian world, yes, the rating system would work. But, how can the #1 video consistently have an average rating below 3 stars? It’s simple. This has become a contest of 5’s vs. 1’s: Meaning, to stay on top you’ve got to hustle up as many 5 star ratings as you can, and dish out 10 times more 1 star ratings just to be in the Top 10 for 30 minutes.

      In this Democratic society we live in, we’re allotted one vote for the Presidency: That’s one vote per citizen, and one vote per member of the Electoral College. The President isn’t chosen by an average rating. With a 1 vote system, everyone gets to vote equally… with 1 vote . By allowing members to only vote once, I feel that that the rating system would hold more weight while simultaneously vanquishing the negative voting trend which is tarnishing the integrity of this contest and frustrating the “few” talented artists in the Lincoln Spotlight.

      Thank You,

      RayDawn

      RayDawn, this is a very good point on all levels and that's why we have the final cuts based on ratings, 40% Originality, 30% Verbal Technique and 30% Visual Sophistication of the video. Were moving into the final round now and looking at what can we do to make the ratings reflect the quality the contest is looking for.

  • Your Season

    • From: jael
    • Description:
      The themes of this contest made me want to be a participant?living your dream, daring, hoping, and reaching higher. We all need some inspiration in our lives, whether it's getting through a tough day, or trying to achieve your goals. I am so blessed to have people around me that always encourage me to strive for my dreams, even when I get weary and discouraged at times. I wanted to write words of inspiration that could help uplift someone else if they ever started feeling the way I have felt at times. I think we all have the ability to keep going and achieve our best, and it's important for us as people to boost and support each other. If this song and video can do that, then I have done my job. I am truly grateful for this opportunity. Enjoy! I'd also like to send out a special thank you to the people who helped me put this project together: Doris, Manuel, and the Yaras family.

  • Voting or Ratings is just one

    • From: Lincoln52Spot
    • Description:

      How do you think would be best to handle the ratings? We see that everyone should have the ability to rate any of the videos they watch. Why not? There are 100's comming daily rating videos and should not prevent anyone from putting in their ratings.


      The final cut is based on 40% Originality, 30% Verbal Technique and 30% Visual Sophistication.

      If you got the quality and on point your in the top 25.

  • You wanna know who's really on

    • From: JarellP
    • Description:

      *No disrespect to Lincoln Lounge and the participating independent artists*

      Everyone knows this site and this voting system is WACK!!! You want to know what the real rankings are?

      Check the top favorites.

      It's legit because nobody can vote you down for the sake of it; the people who really enjoy your work will want to come back and see it again.

      This disparity between the top favorites, most views, and highest rated videos shows just how screwed up this system is. It may be too late to change it, but I hope we all learn something from this. May the best artist win.

      Peace love and music

      Yes it's not perfect but wanted all to be able to rate each video not just one video. In the end its based on ratings and

  • This Contest

    • From: Saint
    • Description:

      This contest is kind of funny. Well, not so much the contest, but the voting. I'm sure most of you will agree. Trying to get people to vote has been more difficult than any other aspect of this competition. But the really funny aspect is this...after you creatively coerce your friends to vote for you...when they finally give in, you see your profile rise in the ranks. You're thinking, "cool, that's what's up, I got a shot at this." And that's where the vote ghost creeps up on you and plays a trick on you. Say you got 50 votes, figuratively speaking, after your homies done rushed up and voted you up. You go to bed thinking, "man, now I know how politicians feel hustling for votes." You wake up, and now you have 90 votes...and instead of being at the top of the list, you're profile is invisible cause it's at the bottom of the totem pole. Hence, another day to hustle to pull votes from places you never knew existed. The funny thing about that, though, is it's almost statistically impossible to tack on 40 sub-par votes for yourself over night...considering it's taken you two weeks to amass a mere 50 votes. Like I said in my song, "Respect those who don't respect you..." That's all one can do in this format. That, and laugh, put the feet to the pavement and get the sweatin'.

      Saint!!!

      Thank you Saint but everyone should have the right to rate each others video there are 100s comming in so in the end it's ratings and

      40% Originality, 30% Verbal Technique and 30% Visual Sophistication. THE BEST WILL BE RECONGNIZED.

    • From: SingSing_AHMIR
    • Description:
      Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I wrote "Reach" just for YOU ...a person with big dreams that someday would like for them to become their reality. Many of us are trapped in jobs that we hate, unhappy with our lives, and just living day-to-day, all because we've given up on our dreams. Through this song and video, I hope to inspire you to hold on to your dreams and not let the curve balls that life pitches, strike you out (a little cheesy, but you get the idea). "Reach higher than the sky..." and claim what's yours. At the end of the day, you'll be glad you did. I hope you enjoy and God Bless!!! Sing-Sing of AHMIR myspace.com/ahmirmusic
