Well, I thought it was about time we posted a blog about our recent stint on the new BBC3 show 'Upstaged' earlier this month. For those who don't know, Upstaged is initially an internet based competition. Acts have to make a profile for themselves on the website (www.bbc.co.uk/upstaged) and then audience members have to 'become a fan' and rate all the videos, photos etc. of their favourite acts. If an act gets enough fans and high ratings they get put into the top 5 vote and one of those acts gets voted into each of two glass stages in Millenium Square, Bristol. The acts must then battle it out for 6 hours and the audience view the live streaming on the website have to rate the acts (preferably 5 stars for us please!) and you can rate the acts every three minutes. After 6 hours the votes are counted and the winning act goes through to compete another day against a new act voted in from the top 5. Acts can stay on a maximum of 4 days before they have to leave even if they win and then return for the finals.
And how did we do...?
WE WON ALL 4 DAYS (24 hours of playing)!! So now we will be returning for the finals around the 24th of March and we will once again be needing your votes. The competition is still going on between other acts so definatley have a look at the site (streaming starts at 3.45pm).
So thanks everyone for voting us through all 4 times and thanks in advance to anyone who's planning on voting for us in the finals! We really appreciate your support!
