This guy is just mad because a 16 year old won =p and the top five had over 500 Thousand. plus we could only play on medium, if i were you and you have a xbox live account add CarBonKi11A0 (last character is a zero) to you friends list and i can tell you how it went down. this friend of elel82 was beat by 400,000 and if he is talking about the finals it dealt with showmanship rather then on score because no one wants to see a person on stage sitting and doing nothing. o and by the way i was the one who won the contest. and my myspace name is Phayn so add me or do w/e.

PLEASE do not display it as a Guitar Hero Competition when the judges do not base their decisions on points!!!! My friend's points were literally 400,000 points higher than the winners and he did not win anything!!! That's great thing that it is a charity event; but it is disappointing and misleading to say it's "BASED ON HIGH SCORES" which was obviously not the case!!
