That’s a reference, of course, to one of the great scenes in movie history.

Now you can go up to 11 too!  Because we’re always looking to boost participation and diversify the musical tastes of our voting population, the following offer is now on the table:

For every new voter you bring in, you will be granted the ability to give a song of your choice an “11”.  That means when one of your very favorite tunes is pitched in a tough battle, and you easily would have given it a “10”, and just need that little extra kick…now you can take it to 11.  Guillermo and I will limit ourselves to one “11” under the new system, but for other folks it’s open season, so take the chance to roll with it.
