[LittleFrog01]

Hello, I just wanted to check if my entry went through. I posted it as a video response, but I've received no confirmation that it worked.

[ronnoc588]

i saw them in portland 2 weeks ago. they are selling merchandise.

[argylls27]

Has anyone seen the boys on their safe upon the shore tour yet. I have to wait another month and a half to see it and was curious if they have merchandise for sale?!

[MAfilleduroi]

The entries are so creative! Well done GBS fans! I bet the boys are floored at the lengths their fans would go to show them our appreciation.

[emberscatsootie]

Anyone know how many people are picked as finalists?

[joanve89]

My video hasn't come through yet. It was the first time I have posted anything on youtube so I'm not sure if I did it right. It looked like it worked. Haven't seen it yet as of 12:40pm on the 10th.

[argylls27]

So when does the actual contest start. Don't they have to pick finalists?

[katydai]

@argylls27 Submissions end on the 18th..then we have til the 26th to vote for the one we like the best!

[katydai]

ForeverTrueLove49---Yes you can!

[ForeverTrueLove49]

Can you enter more than one video for this contest?

[mskibeansnap]

UhOh - Now I'm worried -- I changed my video to "public", but it doesn't show up in the Video Responses. Can you make it viewable? Thanks.

[libraonfire1974]

@mskibeansnap Anyone can view your video by clicking on you name in this comment pagethen it is on that page. That is how I got to the best video involving knombs I have ever seen bar none

[emberscatsootie]

@mskibeansnap Did you use the 'video response feature' or did you just upload it?

[emberscatsootie]

@mskibeansnap That's probably a good idea.

[mskibeansnap]

@emberscatsootie yay it worked finally!

[emberscatsootie]

@mskibeansnap Great!

[Fastasican1]

Hey all GBS fans and karaoke contestants!!! Just wanted to let everyone know, that I read on GBS' Facebook page that Safe Upon The Shore can be used as an entry song as well!!!! Good luck everyone, and I will soon be uploading my own entry!!!

[argylls27]

So how many people are picked as finalists? And is it only then that people vote? And how do they vote?

@greatbigseaofficial will it count that I played my own music? In my opinion it's the same. In the contest rules it said I could do anything as long as it's me singing.

[argylls27]

Is there only 5 people entered in this contest so far?

[SqueezeboxJoe]

@argylls27 I'm pretty sure that it's just us five yet. Many more entries appear to be in the works though.

[jiahchia]

@argylls27 I believe a number of people have submitted video responses and set them to "private," just for the viewing of the channel owner :)

[mskibeansnap]

I put up a video, privately just for GreatBigSeaOfficial. Sure hope you got it!

[libraonfire1974]

@mskibeansnap Guess we will have to wait to see your untill you are in the finals and we are voting for you!!

[mskibeansnap]

@libraonfire1974 I'm thinking about going public on the 18th.

[libraonfire1974]

@mskibeansnap Do it , it is a freeing experience!!! Have no fear, jump right in, and do it! Life is for the living!!

[handbells07]

Sorry for the technical difficulties [pout]

Hey guys, so excited about the contest, can anyone complete this verse for me? (or correct anything I've got wrong too), thanks:

Was it the workin' or the tuggin' put a bun in Nancy's oven,

she's prayin' she's not startin' to show

But the wedding's set for April and she's known since November

she ain't got a chance... [and that's the part I can't hear]

Thanks for your help.

[Fastasican1]

@handbells07 Here's your answer "She ain't got hell's chance in a ball of snow"

as well as "Was it the rubbin' or the tuggin' that put a bun in Nancy's oven"

[handbells07]

@Fastasican1 thank you!

[Fastasican1]

@Fastasican1 No Problem!!! Are you getting ready to enter the contest?

[libraonfire1974]

@handbells07

she ain't got hells chance of a ball of snow

[SqueezeboxJoe]

I am IN.

[doodle1790]

@EmmaVe13 ME TOOO!!!! And then it doesn't sound right necessarily at the octive higher! :(

[SuperFryMFC]

Totally going to start practicing on my way to work in the car tomorrow!

[doodle1790]

i really wish they had picked a few more songs but we'll see how this works out :) can't really sing but whats the harm in trying :)

[EmmaVe13]

@doodle1790 Me too. Particularily because the songs they picked I have to sing an octave higher because I can't hit the bottom notes.

[EmmaVe13]

I just wanted to check if my entry went through.

I posted it as a video response, but I've recieved no confirmation that it was actually delivered as such.

[GreatBigSeaOfficial]

@EmmaVe13 Nothing was received on our end, could you please try again? We'll accept the entry so long as it's on YouTube and you can direct our attention to it, but the 'video response' method should work!

Have fun everyone!

[LittleFrog01]

@GreatBigSeaOfficial

I just wanted to check if my entry went through. I posted it as a video response, but received no confirmation that it worked. I've been having a lot of technical difficulties getting this video made, so I just want to make sure I don't miss the deadline. Thank you.

[GreatBigSeaOfficial]

@LittleFrog01 We got it! Thanks!

[songsofexperience7]
