About this Community

Music Nation is an online video contest for the Rock, Pop, and Urban genres. Beginning January 29th, every week for 12 weeks, 2 winners will be chosen – one by a panel of expert judges, and one by the fans. One winner in each genre will receive a record deal with Epic Records and an appearance on Clear Channel's Stripped.

[info]musicnation_mod will be posting the weekly winners, and other updates, but this community is mostly for you! If you're a Music Nation contestant or a fan of one (or a few!), use this space to gain exposure and votes – post your videos and share with the community a little about yourself or the artist(s) you're lobbying for. If you're not yet a contestant, but want to be, you can still enter!

We've recently started getting some non-Music Nation videos submitted to the community so I IM'd the guys over at Music Nation and to my surprise they were really excited about having them get unscreened.

So here you guys go.... we'll be letting them through. If you like the videos, go comment to the poster and encourage them to enter. Maybe we can get an LJer to win this thing after all.

We'll also continue to pull out the top videos from Music Nation so let us know which genre you'd like to see pop up most on your friends page...

Poll #946558
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: None

What's your favorite Music Nation genre?

Rock
54 (75.0%)

Urban
7 (9.7%)

Pop
5 (6.9%)

All
6 (8.3%)

Placebo music video

  • Mar. 6th, 2007 at 10:34 PM
I made this with a friend last year.

All feedback is appreciated.

The Judges' Choice winner in the Rock category for Week Four was Wake Up, by Panima. They have a unique sound and and Howard Benson said it reminded him of a "younger Hoobastank." Joel Madden was nicely succinct with: "Good song, cool video, really fit in with what’s happening today too."

What do you think?

First group of three are the Judges' vote winners. The second group of three are the Nation's choices.

Keep voting, and help get your favorites into the winning slots for Week 5! Post videos to this community that you think deserve the votes - the more people who see it, the better their chances, and the more stars they'll get.

Moving on to the quarterfinals! )
Updates!

* On this page, they have the most discussed videos on Music Nation's website. You can see all of the Nation's Choice and Judges' Choice winners clearly marked, and then the ones that haven't made it to the quarterfinals yet, so this might be a good place to start checking out different videos and seeing if you think they're worthy of the comments they've garnered so far.

Plus, you can look psychic to all your friends when you say confidently that one's going to make it to the next round.

You can also, of course, check out the actual standings and subscribe to those. If you want to find a band in your area to support, they have a neat little tool here that allows you to do that.

* Judges' Choice comments are up for their selections.


There's been a bit of confusion about how you can interact on the boards there, and how you can come to livejournal and post here, so let's see if this helps you a little:

Once you've got your LJ mojo working, we hope you'll come back here and start promoting your favorite videos! Tell your music loving friends to join us!

The Screening

  • Feb. 13th, 2007 at 10:44 PM
So their myspace (http://myspace.com/thescreening) says their from good ol' England, but on their Music Nation profile they claim to be from Albany, New York...wherever they're from I think they're bloody awesome!  The video isn't super flashy, it's just 4 guys playing music. No stories, no themes, just sounds. I think they sound great, what do you think?
