Contest Controversy is still ON!


Putting my BUTT on the line!

Hey, has anyone ever stopped to consider what this controversy stuff is actually doing for my career?

Let me be the first to tell you that writing is great for the soul, but sometimes harder then hell on the nerves! No, seriously... I'm really not laughing anymore---well, occasionally a chuckle-- BUT That's IT-just a chuckle!

I've received some great reviews, and some pretty negative comments. I've had tears come to my eyes on more then one occasion of people generally being just plain mean! And, I'm thinking... What the heck is going on?

Have I trespassed into some foreign country that has no ruling government? Am I willingly taking a hand-gun to my head with a finger sitting on the trigger?

Dramatic as this may seem to those of you who are not part of the contest controversy... but for some, well-many may want to pull the trigger and have me silenced, and still others are standing beside me-- saying go girl go...

No, I'm not going to be silenced. And I am also going to put the facts out to everyone and see if this thing can perhaps at least open everyone's eyes to all sides of the story!
This is NOT an easy task... Let me assure you!

Has anyone looked lately at the poll on the "Welcome Page"? It shows that 100% of the voters don't believe that the judges are screened enough to judge an Elvis contest! 100%!!!! Isn't it amazing, that each and every person that took a minute to vote -voted the exact same way? Why is that? Why do people feel that way?

I don't have the answers everyone is looking for, and I'm not sure if anyone really does... or will have! There are signs of discontentment everywhere you look. No matter who you talk to, no matter which competition, or entertainer.

So lets take an inside look and go from there.

First off, let me tell you a few things about me... It won't take long...

I am not making any money from any party for ANYTHING! This column is my baby, which is devoted to ETA's, their Music, and ELVIS! No one hands me a paycheck, and the only thing I get out of this column, is my own satisfaction at helping the guys, and the music- to last forever!
I have two full time "day" jobs that often run into the late hours of the night, and weekends. Only one of those I get paid for... And this isn't it!
