Yeah, the choice of Jonas Bros. made the old, grizzled and embittered judges cringe, but it was absolutely a good video and really won over the crowd. Congrats.

Whatevah was a lot of fun, and one of maybe 2-3 videos we got this year that actually did a good job with lip sync. Congrats to you too!

Corpsegoddess

Itadakimasu, Krauser (Resident Evil 4)
Darkotsu

Apathy and Empathy - AkuRoku (Kingdom Hearts)
Noelle Moore (KaitousWish1292)

That last one was really over-the-top and was put into the comedy category ironically. It wasn't going to win Drama anyway, and wouldn't have even been a finalist but for a lack of comedy submissions.

In general, though, categorizing was really tough and we really did put them into the categories where we thought they had the best chance.
