Labels: 2008, american idol, songwriting contest
I have no envy for the people judging the, dare I say, songs?
Hopefully they can find a diamond in the rough because I pistened to about 15 of them and that is all I could take.
thanks for compiling this list.
My friend, Keith, submitted 'I Dared to Dream' It ROCKS!!!!! Check out http://www.myspace.com/haymansongs

Please check out. "My Time Is Here"...the change of pace might be interesting...
http://www.myspace.com/victoriagydov
I submitted one, too. It's called "Bigger Plans" and it's the top song on my MySpace page -- http://www.myspace.com/jenniferspengler -- going anywhere in this contest is a long shot, but at least new songs come from it, regardless! :))
If we could get on the list, our entry can be found at http://www.myspace.com/douglaspaulheckman. The song is called "Better Than This" . Thanks for putting this list together.
hi los cheerio, thanks for doing this, this is by far the best compilation of AI entries, very easy to access! thanks.

Hi:
I co-wrote a song called "The Curtain Call" with my friends, Brian Mechlowicz and Brooke Fox. Please feel free to add it to the pile. It can be found here: www.myspace.com/sorenbrian

I couldn't wait for this list to go up again this year. It was greatly appreciated last year and this year I'm even contributing! I'm still working on finishing my artist page, but my song "I"ll Dream For You" is already there. the address is: www.myspace.com/danlukas
Let me now what I have to do to include it in the list! Thank you...I'll be on the blog at the end of the day. Good luck to all!

Thanks for adding my song to the list. By the way, I really enjoy your blog. You're right; you are an amazing wordsmith. A very intelligent and witty being, indeed! :) However, the Rite-Aid/Walgreen's incident caused an only-slightly karmic loss of credibility. ;)
~Jen
These aren't the only songs entered are they? They said thousands on the website. Mine isn't here...just wondering...
Hey there! Thanks for compiling this list. So nice of you! Now that the voting's over, I'd like to share our entry for the contest: "Gotta Make It My Own" by Norman and Ruth Foster.
