» maria | One Dollar Jackpot - 25 Words or Less Competition

Whew - I am rested after a three day break. It was great to get away just as autumn is popping down to the Southern Hemisphere. So welcome back, things are as they were. One dollar jackpots haven’t started being three dollar jackpots for more than last week’s one (although rumour was that we had tripled the winnings).

So on to our CD and $3 winner! I thought you might have had a few more days to get into the music, listen and enter but still there were only 6 entries. That’s okay, I don’t mind. Maybe it wasn’t the easiest task, maybe you didn’t like the music, maybe you were down the road buying a ham sandwich because you were hungry.

I’m going to list all the entries (reviews of <a href=”http://www.allmankind.net”>All Mankind</a>) and you can see them below:

• Sounds a bit like U2, but it’s a good thing. MySpace page is clean and unjunked up which I love; really digging the tunes actually.
• This music is amazing!
  My new second favorite band now, thank you.
  Finding a good new band makes me feel like I’ve won already.
  AWESOME
• In the song I’ve Been Looking For This: I don’t know what he was looking for, but he finally found it, and it sounds great!
• Their site has a trendy vibe about it, stylish colours, simple but elegant layout. Great video links. Can’t wait for PUZZLES!!!
• Songs from All Mankind,
  do not stick in my mind.
  The singer sounds alot like U2’s Bono,
  with the kissing disease mono.
• Condensing all mankind into a quartet would be a daunting task. No surprises that their music isn’t quite up to snuff. Better luck next time.

What do you think should win? Do you think I should give the CD to the people who didn’t like the music? Or should I cave in and give it to someone who’s being nice to the guys? Well I - as usual will give it to the person who I thought put in the best entry.

Today’s winner though, encapsulates (I don’t think deliberately) some of what others said while speaking about a particular song. Some thought the singer sounds like Bono - fair enough, Bono is a good singer. While Bono hasn’t found what he’s looking for - Maria thinks that Rich has in the song I’ve Been Looking For This. So congratulations to Maria, you have won the CD and three bucks! Your money is on its way, all I have to get from you now is your address to send you the CD.

Meanwhile, I’m off to write the winner for <a href=”http://www.onedollarjackpot.com”>yesterday’s competition</a> and the next competition’s question.
