Megan Paige is a girl on a mission. She's determined to prove that the female powerhouse voice isn’t just for divas, and aggressive music and lyrics don't require gothic dresses and a lot of black make-up. Instead the girl next door is kicking in our doors and telling us like it is.
A singer/songwriter since childhood, Megan Paige began her public vocal performances in 2004 with the Boston acappella group The Downbeats. This granted her the opportunity to fine tune her ear and stage performance, before she moved back to her home in New Jersey in 2007 to get down to business and record her original compositions.
With her heart set on getting the right sound and style for her demo, Megan chose to be produced at the notoriously alternative rock shop, Moonskull Studios in Paramus, NJ. What do you get when you mix the clever mind of a female alternative pop singer with "out of the box" rock production? You get a demo that rivals Fiona Apple in eeriness, threatens Amy Lee's (Evanescence) big dark melodies, and sits next to Amy Winehouse as lyrically potent and refreshingly original.
Her self-titled demo is available now at www.myspace.com/meganpaigemusic. Refer to this site for photos, show listings and updates.

Congrats to "Rantings of Eva"!!!I also wanna say congrats to everyone in this comp for getting heard and getting the recognition that you all deserve. I know I at times displayed my emotions in ways that was not cool. But it's all in the growing up department, and we all evolved from this.
Just keep keeping it real, and we will once again (soon I hope), be side by side in our quest for success and being HEARD!
Here's another idea for being heard!
There's a new page on MN called "Collaboration Nation" for the listing of music that are collabs between 2 or more artists on MN.
It's not just there you can be heard, but if you collaborate with other artists in other genres, then your limitations to which contests you can enter just opened up to an endless selection. Use whatever you can to BE HEARD!!!!!

I love you all to DEATH!

YEAH, IT´S OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)IS THERE LIFE AFTER CONTEST? :) LOL
NOT SURE IF I MADE THE TOP 20 OR NOT? I WAS #15 SHORTLY BEFORE THE END, AND HAD TO GO DO SOME SHOPPING, AND WHEN I GOT BACK IT WAS OVER!!!! :) THINGS MOVE QUICKLY HERE, SO NO ONE CAN BE SURE OF ANYTHING.
YOU COULD BE #1 ONE MINUTE AND #250 THE NEXT!!!!!! :roll:
I SAW IT HAPPEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE!!!!! PEOPLE TEND TO GET JEALOUS, AND JUST VOTE YOU DOWN.
THAT HAPPENS IN EVERY CONTEST, BUT IT WAS REALLY EXTREME IN THIS ONE!!!! :roll:
I MADE IT TO #3 AT ONE POINT, AND IT WAS ONLY FROM PEOPLE I KNOW ON THE SITE, BECAUSE I NEVER ASKED ANYONE TO VOTE FOR ME OUTSIDE OF THIS SITE!!!! :) I ALSO ALWAYS SAID, "VOTE IF YOU LIKE THE SONG". I WON´T VOTE FOR SONGS I DON´T LIKE, AND DON´T EXPECT MY FRIENDS TO EITHER. :)
ANYWAY, MAYBE I MADE THE TOP 20?! BUT IF YOU´RE NOT A YOUNG ROCK BAND, (WHICH THEY SPECIFICALLY STATED THEY WERE LOOKING FOR IN THE SPIN VIDEO) YOUR CHANCES ARE NULL!!!
I´M ALSO #3 IN LATIN AT OURSTAGE.COM WITH MY SONG "DO YOU WANT MY LOVIN". I´VE BEEN #3 FOR OVER A WEEK, SO I IMAGINE I´LL PROBABLY MAKE THE QUARTER FINALS, SEMI FINALS, AND WILL ONCE AGAIN LACK THE VOTES TO GET IN AND WIN THE FINALS, UNLESS MY 100´S OF FRIENDS HERE AT MUSIC NATION COME OVER AND VOTE FOR ME!!! :) THAT WOULD BE COOL, BECAUSE I´VE BEEN IN THE TOP 10 SEMI FINALS 5 OUT OF 6 CONTESTS IN 4 DIFFERENT GENRES. IT WOULD BE COOL TO FINALLY WIN. :)
BY THE WAY, THERE´S SOME INCREDIBLE TALENT ON THIS SITE!!!!!! A LOT OF YOUNG TALENT!!!! ONE OF THESE ARTISTS SHOULD WIN, BECAUSE SPIN IS LOOKING FOR THE NEXT BIG ROCK BAND!!!! :)
AT LEAST I KNOW MY SONGS ARE GOOD, AND WHICH WERE THE STRONGEST IN THE CONTEST!!!!!!
SINCE WE WERE ABLE TO CHANGE OUR SONGS DURING THE ENTIRE CONTEST, I DID SOME EXPERIMENTING!!! :)
THESE ARE THE SONGS THAT DID THE BEST;
1."LOVE IS THE KEY" IS A WINNER!!!
2."YOU DID IT TO ME" DID EXTREMELY WELL!!!!
3."DON´T STOP" DID GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
4."DO YOU WANT MY LOVIN" DID VERY WELL!!!
5."IN THE NAME OF" DID VERY WELL!!!!!!!
I TRIED OTHERS, BUT IT WAS PRIMARILY A ROCK CONTEST, SO JAZZ, FUNK, ELECTRONIC, GENERALLY DIDN´T DO THAT WELL FOR ANY LENGTHY PERIOD OF TIME!!!!!!
THIS WILL VARY ON DIFFERENT SITES AND IN DIFFERENT CONTESTS, BUT IT WAS AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT, AND THE 5 SONGS ABOVE ALL DID EXTREMELY WELL!!!!!!! :D
AS I SAID BEFORE, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT MY FRIENDS AND FANS HERE.
I´M VERY GREATFUL TO ALL OF YOU. :)
I´VE HEARD SO MUCH GREAT MUSIC, MET SO MANY WONDER FUL PEOPLE, AND HAD SOME GREAT LAUGHS HERE IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, IT´S LIKE FAMILY FOR ME. SO I´LL BE AROUND HERE IN THE FUTURE. MAYBE NOT EVERYDAY, BUT A FEW TIMES A WEEK FOR SURE.
THANKS FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
ALL OF YOU ARE WINNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

Wow what a night! I've been on a marathon voting session and put myself way down in the rankings :(Seems like I could use a boost here, lol.
With one day left I am continuing to vote and you are on the receiving end.
While I would love to move on to the finals, 499 others also share that desire...since only 20 +4 will achieve that I have to be realistic.
The artists in this competition have so much talent it's hard to choose at times, but know that you are one that I chose.
Best of luck to you....I hope to see you in the top 20 when voting ends.
Much Luv
Peace
