I see Emily's video's are gone now but they did keep the winning one "Little Angels" don Yes Don, you are right. Just a bit strange, as they wrote during updating: "We're currently updating .... please check back later today to see our exciting changes!"So "exciting changes" were represented by deleting all Emily's videos. Sad for me. I only hope that, that only one her video in final will stay there. (It is my secret wish.) I didn't find another "exciting changes" they made there. Petee

Hi all, just one "off topic" note and a bit of math. I always thought that every video could achieve X stars, where X is less than (number of views) multipled by 5 stars. It is valid except for two videos I found so far: Batman Jr. - 11371 Views - 207686 Stars Halleljuah - 3954 Views - 99402 Stars INTERESTING AND STRANGE! Petee

Petee Peter, I may have an answer for Halleljuah and it's not really that strange. I have been doing alot of voting for Halleljuah, I just love that video and here is why it's not so strange. I use my IE (64 bit) to vote, this version of IE cannot play the video's so they are not loaded or watched, just the votes without the views. As far as Batman, I have never voted for that it's just not that good but someone else may be using the same method, personally I can't wait till he wins his day then the video will be gone. Some of the others I like are michael & maricia #9, and Ashley Childers #17 and I'l also do some voting for Teresa so you may see there #'s out of sink also. don

It is sad (for me) that Emily's videos are gone but I'm glad 'Little Angels' is still there. Once all the mad voting is over (probably by the beginning of next week), I'm looking forward to seeing the competition develop between the young talents. Some of my favourites are in the top 30: Sungha Jung's guitar video of Pirates of the Caribbean (that Petee introduced us to), is on Wonderworld and is at number 19. Also another Sungha Jung video that is number 24. And I'm very pleased that Elli Choi is number 7. I also liked Halleljuah and have been voting for it too. Oh thank you Don that is very nice of you to vote for the Teresa video Allegra

Hi all, thanks Don for explanation of my voting obscurity. Allegra, I am already voting for my favorite guitarist Sungha Jung, but also some of my votes I devoted to your composition. However, there are other interesting talents I want to support but they have in the meantime enough stars. Petee P.S. Allegra, yes those were real strawberries and very delicate . And I see you have new "avatar".

Hi Petee, Firstly, you are so lucky to have nearby walks where you can pick strawberries! I am also voting for Sungha Jung's Pirates of Caribbean video. I hope soon it will be on the first page. I've just seen Ashley Childers video and it is a really nice looking video. I love the undersea scenes! Ya I did change my avatar today. This is me playing on stage And finally I wanted to say.... Allegra

Hi, just one angry comment. I just noticed that new Jackie's video was added to the contest. Please, can you tell me what for. Money or what. I don't understand. I still like Jackie but why do they do that. Now Jackie has 11 videos in contest (6 in final, 4 in top 10). Petee PS. Sorry, but I had to give vent to my feelings.

Yea Peter I noticed that, but they have to be running out of Jackie video's soon that is unless she records more and no I don't think is has to do with the money. That have a little angel here and they are doing what they can to promote her, can you imagine what it would be like if Connie had 10-15 video's on here with her support group (myself included) no other kid would make the top 10...as for me I'll just keep voting for the kids I like and eventually all of Jackie's will be gone. and batman too I hope don

Even though I loved the way Emily was tickled by receiving a "Ribby award", I have refrained from voting ever since I've come to the conclusion of what this style of "voting" means. Not to say that I didn't get caught up in the moment for a bit, but I think that Emily deserves much better than this, and the sooner that we forget that the "Wonderworld" TV thing even exists, the better off we all are for the most part. (Sorry Allegra, and little violinist Choi... (She really is extraordinary too)) Maybe I sound like sour grapes, and if you think I'm not in the right frame of things, then by all means, keep on helping Emily out here as well. (as well as everyone else on the list that has our attention. ) - accskaguy -

Hi Petee, I was also very angry yesterday to see -yet another- Jackie video has been uploaded and it is already at no.8. Actually on YouTube Jackie has several more videos and I have the feeling they are going to constantly add new videos to the contest. I'm not sure if it's for money but I do think Jackie's team have their priorities wrong. It is not healthy for someone as young as Jackie to only think of short-term gain and winning. That is why I'm proud of Emily's family for choosing to remove her videos. They are thinking of Emily's long term future and don't think of winning. Allegra

Well, just to put my 2c into the conversation. I'm a fan of both Emily, Jackie and one other young talent recently in the WonderWorldTV top 10, Brieanne Jansen. The real purpose of these contests is to promote, just by entering more people become aware of their gifts, and isn't that what's really imprtant?
Win or loose, the kids should be encouraged to be gracious and show good sportsmanship.

Hi all, I am happy today because I found another Emily's videos I didn't see so far despite being there (in my opinion) for a longer time. Nevermind. As all Emily's in-contest videos have been deleted there were and still are others which are available on this webpage. So for me new Emily's plays: Etude, Kabalevski Giving
And one more well-know Emily's composition: Northern Lights
Enjoy. (happy) Petee

Hi all, long time I didn't post something concerning Wonderworldtv contest. I am still watching it and also voting for my favourite talents. However, I was still a bit angry that new videos of some talents with strong support have been uploaded and so making difficult to other talents for breaking through. Just look at current status at final: Jackie Evancho - 10 videos Brieanne Jansen - 12 videos other talents in final - 1 video per talent So how I was surprised and pleased when I saw this message on wonderworld contest website: "Starting September 1st 2009 only one (1) of each person(s) entries will be allowed to win the $100 daily contest per month. You may still enter as many times as you like. All other entries uploaded for that person will be pulled from the site and will be reinstated at the beginning of the following month."At last they a bit fixed one big shortcoming of this contest. Petee PS: However, I still don't know what I should think about Connie's video uploaded to this contest but this is question for another forum. Sorry.
