Chris, this is an official message from the Yippi Music contest. We aware of your invalid voting, please remember the voting is from the fans, not from random accounts made. Please make an effort to help keep this contest fair. Thank you for your effort, and music should be able to speak for yourself. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

From Me at 8:45am on April 18 2008 (delete)
In response to the message (we are aware of your invalid voting) I assure you that I never setup random accounts. If you check my IP address you will find 3 accounts from my computer, My account, my wifes, and my son. I cant control voting no more than I can control yippi pulling votes I know for a fact are valid. My first cousin (justlilome) had her votes pulled because she had no picture. Most everyone who voted for me came to yippi because I asked them. Being accused of something I know I did not do is very dissapointing, because I would never cheat. My record set me back over $10,000 and I used some of the best musicians in the business. I've been a professional musician sinse the age of 14, I dont think I have to cheat. In closing, I do appreicate you holding contests for independent artist. Chris Vaughn

On your ip adress you mentioned you only have three to your account...well just on your first page of voting alone, we counted 17 out of 20 votes from the same ip adress.. so that ip address will be removed from all your votes!...once again we fee your music will be speak for itself in the end!

From Spring 2008 Star S... at 7:41pm on April 18 2008
Yes it def wasnt from your IP address, but your fans had about three other IP addresses being used, and they were making vote after vote so we had to delete just those who were abusing the system... we hope you understand, if you look at everyones votes, they have been cleaned up....

Title: FW: fairness
Message: > after 2 or three months of waking up and voting for chris vaughn, last week every one of my votes were deleted...I have now, againts my personal rights of privacy i might add, posted a picture to my profile.
>
> In all fairness EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY VOTES SHOULD BE REINSTATED. Might i add that after I posted my picture, my votes are STILL being removed. And I have a right to know why??? Please feel free to email me and I will give you a phone number where you can reach me to prove that I am not a voting dolphin as you so eloquently put it. (justlilome) Sherry

Title: FW: CHEATERS- - - YIPPI IS CHEATING.
Message: > Yippi is cheating on their vote counts, reason being CHRIS VAUGHN was out in the lead. They took away votes,, I know this to be true, first the # dropped,,second I went through the votes, alot of my votes have been removed, along with alot of my friends,,,there was people voting from all over the world,,,their names & votes are gone..This is suppose to be a contest, where as fans, friends, & family vote for their favorite singer, song writer...
> I'm guessing that,, no matter how many more people come in & vote for Chris, it will do no good..They (YIPPI) will just chance the count again...So if this isn't cheating...What would you call it??? This is an example I guess of bad management,rigged contest,dishonest,I guess I could go on & on ,,but it all means the same thing...""CHEATING""

Title: FW: voting
Message: > It doesn't matter when or how many times you have votes YIPPI RULES yes it is what ever the staff of yippi wants. Winners were decided before round 2 ever started. If your country you don't have a chance here. If you look close you don'e even find a country catagory in there ads. I'm gone my last post and THE WINNER IS whoever yippi desires.

Title: FW: What has happened in the Music Contest?
Message: > Seems a bit strange!! What happened to Chris Vaughn? He was at the top but now sitting around twelth.... people seem to be pissed off with the way things have gone!!

Title: FW: official response a slap
Message: > Here is a message I sent to yippi. Wish everyone luck here,
> I am saddened at all the trash that is going on with yippi. When I came on board I did so as a resource for more people to hear my music. The contest was secondary, but after signing up for it I got involved as well as many of my friends and family. Most people that I got to sign up, as well as many others,did so to vote for me or there favorite. They did not want there picture plastered over the internet and had no intentions of being a major part of yippi. They were here as participants in the voting period. Now you have taken that option away at your discretion. If you are going to have a competition all the rules should be stated in the beginning, not half-way thru the process. You say at the top of this page that you continually work to improve Yippikya. Unfortunately just the oposite has happened. You have alienated many many with the way you have orchestrated the voting. I am truly sorry that I got my family and friends into this mess. It takes away from my reputation and they will question my ethics in the future. I am on another site and it has become frustrating to me to have to explain to everyone that it is not the same old same old as yippi. By manuvering votes you have brought shame and black eye to me and to yourselves. I don't feel you can correct this situation, it has gone to far to help. Wish you luck but you are losing alot of good music people by your actions.

Out of Your Mind
LETTER FROM NEIL AND RASCAL



"Thank you Chris for stopping in and leaving your calling card and for your patience waiting for me and ol' Rascal here to pick a time to have a listen. Actually any ol' time's a good time for Rascal, it's always only me that's got the problem. But actually Chris, I've been listening to your tunes here every so often since you dropped off your card and it didn't take me long to figure out that I'd be listening to them all a bunch of times before I made a final choice. I told Rascal to go pick out his favorite spot on the porch and curl up for a long one because tonight could stretch way past midnight. I'm sure he got to know though which way I was leaning every time I came back and played "Out Of Your Mind" again. He'd lift up his head and look at me in that knowing kind of way that only your best pal does best. What a great intro on the song Chris - awesome lead guitar and sweet pedal steel work playing off each other, setting you up to come in with your richly seasoned great country voice. Your touring and associations with so many fine artists has paid off in aces for you, and it shows in every one of your songs. But to me, this song has it all, beginning with your great lyrics. You are one talented songwriter Chris. As for the arrangement, it couldn't be any better no matter how hard anybody else tried. And lordy, talk about toe-tapping rhythm, you had my foot keeping time right from the get-go ... even when I jumped aboard that blazing harmonica freight train that rolled in to join the rest of your powerhouse musicians. And Chris, you owe your sister Charlie big time for those sweet harmonies she laid down on the track - talk about putting the icing on the cake, she sure did. This is one well-done tune. I lost count of the number of times me and Rascal listened to it, but I tell ya Chris, if this is as close as I ever get to the Grand Ol' Opry, I'm going to be just as happy knowing I had the honor of bringing you here to Legendary Music. Welcome !!
