Spirit of LJ Idol

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Since Season 2, we have had a ritual here in LJ Idol.

It's a very special vote. Some people value it more than winning. Most of those actually won as well. ;)

As originally conceived, it was an award for the contestant that people thought "Man, if this was based on who has really uplifted me and helped make this a wonderful experience - they would win!"

As it turned out, there is a 3-2 advantage for the person winning this to actually turn around and win the whole thing as well. Which was surprising. But certainly not a guarantee. . . nor should it be.

HOWEVER it is someone that you, as a group, are saying that you trust enough to give them a title and special powers that could make a major impact on how this all ends. You could very well be putting your game in their hands. . .

Who are they?

They will become Season 7's Spirit of LJ Idol. Who has done the most. Who has meant the most to your experience here.

It's time to give them that little bit extra - because you think they are what this season is all about... or SHOULD BE.... who transformed your landscape and made a positive impact on the competition?

This season there is one special twist... a first time for us, hopefully it works... this season the Jury will also be able to vote!!!

In the past it's just been the people still in the competition, but the Jury are going to be able to have a say as well.

Who is eligible??? Well, that hasn't changed. It's the 11 current competitors. So make a list of 1-11, who you most want to have it to who you really wouldn't be putting on the top of your personal list... and send to clauderainsrm@gmail.com (DO NOT POST IT HERE) by Thursday June 16th at 7pm EDT.

Thank you - and thank you to everyone for making this season special.

THANK YOU GARY! Now I'm even less cut up about being eliminated, because I only wanted to stay in one more week so I could vote in this. AND NOW I STILL CAN! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Well considering what the Spirit Award is actually about and all, I am so sad to see comedychick gone. She exemplified what Idol Spirit is about in my eyes. She brought in new players, wrote rec lists and tried to share the love evenly amongst everyone. She was always a presence in the GR's cheering people on and socializing. All that is what makes Idol great in my opinion. Obviously it's something different to everyone, but that's my take on it.

So to me, that's what the Spirit of LJ Idol is. She fit the award perfectly in my eyes and it's a shame she couldn't have won it herself as I feel she deserves it. Not to say others don't, and trust me, I will be voting...but I just wanted to put that out there so she knows she would have had my vote had she been here still <3

And no, I promise...I am not just biased because she's my secret girlfriend and all that :P

AGREED. She was at the top of my list, and then I realized she was out. :(

You can still try and vote for me even though I can't win it ;) (I have had a couple people tell me they were going to anyway).

Seriously, though, that's an excellent warm fuzzy right there. ♥

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I love you. ♥

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Aww you know I love you too. You're one of my favorite people ever <3

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

You know you're one of mine, too ♥

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

[amenquohi.livejournal.com]

Add my THIS, as well.

I don't think I would've won it if I had stayed in, but I wanted to say that it means a lot to me that someone not even on my flist agrees with Pixie.

Sorry, I'm confused - are only the jury and current contestants allowed to vote for the Spirit award, or can all of us vote for the Top 11 who are still in it?

[phoenixejc.livejournal.com]

Second!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Just FYI in case you didn't see Gary's reply to me: Current contestants and Jurors only get to vote. Oh well!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Contestants still in, and jury members get to vote.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Okay, that's what I thought but I was still sleepy enough to want additional clarification.

How many jurors are there, btw?
