FIrst thing I checked (and found out) was that OK Go won the vote last nite! HUZZAH to all the fab ppl who've contributed to those amazing numbers!!! *cue party poppers, streamers, confetti, horns, cheers etcetc* : )
Who woulda thunk it'd take so much effort to prove that a video with 19m+ views would be more popular than one with 1.6m+ views? sigh. roughnecks are a wholly different order of ppl i suppose o.O
Just goes to show that Cyberbullying does NOT always hv its way...and also - the world has eyes and ears after all! ; ) so proud of the boys (and us for making this happen)! x
Odds are they won't make it past round whatever-this-is, they're up against people like Rhianna and Eminem. But hoorah.
I finally yelled at that Brantley kid over Twitter, because, dude. Get a hobby. Go ride your bike or something. All of those people getting angry on the Fuse comment page sound like...angry 16-year-olds who don't have anything better to do but be angry 16-year-olds.
I don't believen in the integrity of this entire voting thing. Fuse knows who they want to come out on top, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was rigged by them. That being said, at least they picked OK Go over Generic Angry White Dude Rock.
LOL, yeah, when I saw this round, I thought "yeah, here's where we lose to Rihanna and Eminem." But I'd rather lose to Rihanna and Eminem than Stone Sour any day. Even if the contest is rigged, there was an ad for another Fuse show that was about Corey Taylor being a Genius on the page right next to the voting. I'm sorry, it just seems counterintuitive for a network to proclaim someone is a genius and then rig a contest against them. "So this guy, we love him, and we think he's a total genius, but THESE people? We totally think they're more genius."
I juz realised, that means we would be beating Eminem, Rihanna (twice), Megan Fox AND Dominic Monaghan (not to mention the other 38 entries) if we win this votedown.
What ho! Pip pip and all that. This afternoon the gang and I are having a little voting party.
Sipping our darjeeling, chatting, and voting OK Go.
And of course we are chomping away on some grammy noms (we like to bite they little heads off)...
What? [totally innocent eyelash batting] ... but that's what we always call our graham cracker snacks at teatime.
Do pour yourself a cuppa!
Are you really British? Because you just hypnotized me with your typing. I wanna be British, or maybe I just want a nice Jewish British boy or maybe both or maybe I should stop rambling.
Anyhoo. i'm happy with whatever they come out with, I hv nth but pride and love for these boys :D
ANNNDDD i just wanted to express my newly developed fervent love to all of YOU out there who share my love for them; reading thru the comments on the Fuse.tv page (everyone else is EFF this and EFF that, and OK Go supporters are all, ugh stop it already i'm so sick of all this, can't u just learn to respect and lovveeeee :P), I realise I am in a super chill, loving environment full of happy thoughts and wisdom and geekchic ;) ME LUBS!
srsly, thruout the whole voting hullabaloo no one has ever talked any smack abt any other artist from start to finish. you make me soooo proud :') x
Well, TTSP definitely should have been at #1. To me, no question, it's the #1 video of the 2010.
But having gotten into the top 2 is still great. That many more people have had a "whuh? who was that?" moment, and a chance to learn about the band. And maybe it takes seeing OK Go in a couple of different contexts to realize how amazing they are. That's how it worked for me, at least.
From there... only a few short steps to world domination... BWAHAAHAAHAA!
Erm... where was I? I quite enjoyed voting (esp. when it involved sitting with friends, laptops, and tea), as it isn't everyday that you get a chance to contribute to something that gives the band greater recognition. And goodness knows these guys deserve recognition!
Tempe, I'm not a Brit, although my mother is, so I guess that makes me haff-and-hawf. Because of her, I have a penchant for circumlocution (aka rambling), and an abiding obsession with tea. Apropos of Britspeak (and tea) I posted a link for you over on the geneneral discussion side of the board (under "goofy giggles")...

Since OK Go was the top vote getter for round 3, are people even voting for Eminem or Rihanna? Are they even asking their fans to vote for them?
Actually, it seems that there is yet another round...
OK Go vs. Eminem
Congrats to OK Go for making it into the top 2!

…and that is kindasortareally MAJOR. : D
LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN! x

When I posted earlier, FUSE was on the #5 spot in the countdown.
The boys ended up with the #2 spot. Which I actually find highly suspect. But whatevs, they beat out 38 other videos.
Well, TTSP definitely should have been at #1. To me, no question, it's the #1 video of the 2010.
