Tori Amos had a musicvideo contest for her "bouncing off clouds" song from the new album. I made a video, uploaded it to where you where suppose to but then read the rules where it said you had to be from USA to participate in the contest, I am from Sweden.

So I was disqualified and pretty ashamed that I had not read the rules before sending in the video.

Anyway. Then I got an email form Sony/BMG that said I had won the contest and a trip to LA to see Tori Amos. I replyed and said I was from Sweden and then I got an email that said they were sorry but I couln't win the contest.

So I sort of won a trip to LA and then I didn't... pretty weird. Here is my video:

    Pretty cool that you won!

    Sorry that you didn't... :(

    Mixed blessing that, wasn't it.

    That really sucks, they should take more note of the entries and where they are from before picking a winner.

    Dusseldorf 21/06/07, Manchester 17/08/09, London 18/08/09, LA 06/10/09, LA 07/10/09.

    Impressive video!

    Seriously though, as if Sony/BMG couldn't afford a plane ticket from Sweden to LA...

    That's awesome! Did she actually choose your video? It's really good, you should be proud. It reminds me of a friend of mine who makes drawings in a similar style.

    Saturnal - I don't know who picked it, I guess it was the record company... would be really proud if Tori Amos herself would have picked out something I had done :)
