No sooner had we won Ms Twitter UK than we find she (and the UK Top 20) had been entered in a continental competition with the Top 20 in this to qualify for Global Ms Twitter. For all of us who put in hard during the UK comp, thankfully this one only runs for 7 days. We will have no probs making that Top 20 but a good show of strength won't go astray tweeterwall.mallplace.com/tw/continental/ms-europe |

I vote again and again, more and more; Sharon must win. But where is the frenchgirl   Not sure, maybe the local comp not completed or held yet. Current state of play is that "our bloc" (Shaz,MrsStephenFry &Mia) have moved to the head of the field and are holding positions 1-2-3. Sharon is currently away for a few days holidays before undertaking the UK promotional slog so we have been deprived of the flow of laughs we were subjected to over the weekend where Shaz, "Mrs"Fry & Gavin had us all laughing our heads off. Our only competition appears to be Ruth Lorenzo who is @200 behind Shaz & Mrs Fry and about 150 behind Mia. Let's keep on voting for "our team especially Mia !! On a darker note, it appears a couple of disgusting adolescents from Team Diana are venting their true selves by continuing to attack Lisa (Oz Queen) from COL accusing Team Sharon of cheating back in the UK comp. The facts speak for themsleves. A rogue minority (amongst a majority of undoubtedly decent D-V fans) took it apon themselves to cheat .... and got busted. The reasons for Team Sharon's success were simple: - The Corrs WERE a very successful International act and there still remains an enthusiastic fanbase in many corners of the world. - As part of her solo project, Sharon has continued to communicate and engage with the intl netbase and the scale and nature of this engagement has seen this base energised and enthused. This contest has just been a vehicle for this to be demonstrated. - The fact that both Sharon & her supporters have engaged positively and shown immense goodwill to other competitors (ie Mia, Mrs Fry) has seen this reciprocated with "bloc voting" esp in the late stages of the UK comp & this Euro competition. Finally, there IS another comp going on for Global Best Solo Artist - Female. Some fan DID enter Sharon in this but it must be said people are less enthused about this one and in many people's eyes it should take a back seat to the others ... hence a lesser voting rate. At this stage Shaz is 13th .... maybe we can climb higher but other comps will take a higher priority in the mean time. tweeterwall.mallplace.com/tw/worldwide/best-female-solo-artist |

Well into the last day of the Ms Twitter Europe. Shaz (who has just returned from 5 days hols in France with the family) is @450 ahead of nearest hostile challenger Ruth Lorenzo. She is probably safe if we keep up a regular voting rate. Our other team members are just under 200 votes ahead of Ruth and may come under fire in any major late surges. We DO want to protect their "podium spots" as much as possible.
In the solo artist comp, Shaz has been plugging away very steadily and has made it into the Top 10. Currently there is a battle for positions 9-11 with Ruth Lorenzo & Celine Dion which may go on for a while. This is likely to have the effect of bringing no.8, our friend Diana Vickers, into the equation. No finish date advised atm for this one but a Top 10 finish will be good.

Sad to report but the Ms Twitter Europe comp came to a rather unsavoury end. From @1am to 8am GMT, there was a massive surge of votes for Ruth Lorenzo at a rate of @150/hr. Seeing as she is a UK artist with minimal exposure o/s UK (altho Spanish nationality) AND this is definitely the "off period" for UK voting; this HAS TO be viewed as highly suspicious.
Her fans MAY have arranged the grand-daddy of all voting operations (lets face it this is way past previous voting record rates (and over a compressed time period) and IF this is so then all due congratulations to them.
The thing is their record has been for v steady voting but NEVER anything of this magnitude. A general consensus amongst Team Sharon "senior command" is that a voting hack was involved. Quite probably, in my mind, NOT by Ruth supporters but by a rogue element of Diana Vickers supporters.
This walking advertisements for birth control have continued to harass Lisa (Oz Queen) and in making accustions of cheating have actually demonstrated THEIR knowledge as such. Diana was too far back to make it even vaguely plausible but Ruth was close enough and one suspects that their putrid little minds thought such an action to be "payback"
Not sure of the exact position at the close but it was definitely Ruth 1, Shaz 2, 3rd I think was little Mia just ahead of Sharon's forgotten sister .... who actually does all the playing while Sharon mimes. There have been enquiries made requesting investigation .... we will have to wait for confirmation.

It never ceases to amaze me - the extent that TV motivates: how people can be so enthralled as to vote for a tonally-challenged bimbo like DV!  But there you have it: with the abdication of radio and even. to an extent. the traditional MTV and VH1 outlets (now relegated to reality shows), network TV exposure is king. |
