Yes please, let's avoid judging entries solely based on the artist's rep.
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style. :D

Try entering your song under the name "Johnny Cashpoint". See if it helps.

I dunno, you were the one who made it to the finals last year. :P

I will be entering Rone Rivendale after the ploy pays off.

Can we update the first post in this thread to say "send your song" rather than "send a link to your song" then?

This is not an auspicious beginning, but I tried starting from the production side, thinking the song would come naturally, eventually -- and it did not. A massive force-out of a song. But it is done, and I'll have it mixed and sent by 9pm PST.

Niveous - what's the preferred bitrate for nur ein songs? I'd imagine 128-192, but is it an issue if we go higher?

SF rule applies: Please use the lowest bitrate that sounds decent.
Use your best judgment, Andrew.
