[quote="zenkalia"]hm i checked early on and hadn't seen a lot of these... my money is still on acoustic hybrid for having over 6 times as many views as anyone else... hahaha. his is also the only one i've watched multiple times... it's damn good.


i wonder if he cheated.

No, it's been up for a year already. The views from before he responded to the pillows comment video will not count. So the user only have 1,000-2,000 views, not 13,000.

Also, viewcount has NOTHING to do with who the pillows choose for the top five. The view count only qualifies the top 20, after that, it doesn't mean anything anymore.

[quote="Tidusauron12"]Byre, you guys better hurry the fuck up. If you're too late, you might not have a chance to make the top 20.

That said, I think you guys are gonna do something awesome. [/quote]

The contest ends August 16 right? We have plenty of time to catch up, counting
that our cover will be one of the best when its up there.
I swear guys, all of you are going to like it, like a lot. Its a little
different but thats what makes it our own

I want it up by this Monday, dead serious on this. Thanks Tidus, we are trying to
speed this up. I need to get started on the music video

The shortlist (top 20) is announced August 16th, the actual contest ends August 1st. Also, wtf is up with some of the shitty ones having over 1.2k views all of a sudden. Yesterday they only had like 800 or so, and today they exploded. Viewspamming bullshit, much?

Good luck to all. Here is mine, hope you like kool spice.

I don't see what you see... All of the views have been increasing more or less consistently. The shitty Hybrid Rainbow cover for example, it around 1,300... it's been growing since it's been up so long. It's rate of change is SLOW AS FUCK though, so if you just get fifty a day, you'd pass it. I'm pretty far pass those guys and I uploaded a full week after them.

Don't worry Mare, I don't think anyone's viewspamming yet.

There was one that I was sure only had 800 views the other day, but now has 1.3 or 4 k, and it confused the hell out of me.

^Which one? I didn't notice any drastic change like that.

I also noticed that I'm pretty sure it was the girl who did Patricia. And alot more some of these videos are getting pretty high view counts in just a few days suspicious
But some people uploaded there videos to early so they don't count. At least that is what I understood from the rules?

^I uploaded my video the same day as the girl who uploaded the Patricia video, and she's only 60 views a head of me, plus, I've been watching her vid stats. She's been rising consistently the entire time. She's been over 1,000 for days now.

The only person who's view count is much smaller than it appears is the guy who did acoustic instrumental Hybrid Rainbow... since he uploaded his cover a year ago.

hey TJWX5,
honestly, that was some bad ass playing man.
keep it up!

Thanks Dewith, I probably should have picked an easier song but I think I pulled it off without to many mistakes.

^^ Do you know if the videos uploaded before 6/16 will still count?

yeah, but you still nailed that song pretty well.

I would do some covers, but all my equipment is still packed and i don't get into my house until the 15th

[quote="TJWX5"]^^ Do you know if the videos uploaded before 6/16 will still count?[/quote]

They count, but the views they accumulated BEFORE the 16th will be disregarded.

lol
