[DALS4]Put your money where your mouth is

[Un-rêve]

^^

OK well there's still part of me that wants to donate but there's another part of me that doesn't.... but like was mentioned before about all those fans who can't donate.. imagine how they might feel?

Well I hope Alizée gives all you international voters/donators a special thankyou.. well she should win no matter what anyway.. but I think she already has.

I don't think there is any way to know. There is no limit on how many times a person can vote, other than the time factor. Well, I suppose also the cost factor.

Don't they show total number of votes recieved by participant?

I don't think so. If they do I sure haven't seen that this whole time

I don't want to ruin the atmosphere , but some Leatitia fans ( or TF1 channel ) could find that she receive " unpredicted" help from abroad and consider it as cheating. Which could create a controversy if she win the competition.

Well, anyway I don't think that would be a big fuss... maybe it could add some buzz on her, at the end.

Well the effort came a little too late anyways. I think that's the reason DALS in France is has no 'open vote' like in USA it has Toll free numbers and internet voting, limit around 10 votes per email address and time restricted. I mean it would be bad enough to just pay carrier charge for SMS or voice call but on top of that pay 0.65E per message is insanity. What better way to keep the riff-raff from having a say in the show's outcome.
And it was never a secret initiative... it was sent on Twitter so after the first tweet about it went out, whatever it ends up being it, will be.

well I don't know any shows in Europe, except Eurovision, where would be possible to vote from everywhere. However maybe now its weird for Alizée fans they cant vote for her... from other side its show of one country, so it make sense to leave just french public to vote.

it seem you never saw much shows like this and similar in EU... I think 0,65€ is less compared to other shows. By us is normal to pay more than 1€ ...

maybe... yea, it was tweeted... but in that time nobody had idea how it was planned to realizing it. Like I wrote on A.France... we didnt know how and to who.

From business perspective it does not. The more people vote, the more money they make. But i guess the show is too small to spend all that money and resources to set up an international voting

[Ray4AJ]

I think the reason that votes are only permitted to come from France, as well as the fact that none of the videos are supposed to be viewable in other countries is that TF1 bought the rights to a French version of the show from whoever created the concept. I think I read that was in the UK. So their rights limit the program to France. (Just my guess.)

I've been reading some of the things on the French forum, and many of the fans there do vote many times during each show, and sometimes describe how they had their whole family voting. (This has already been mentioned here.) This must come at considerable expense to them. I figure at the very least, assuming the whole plan works as intended, (will it?) perhaps some votes will be cast for her that wouldn't have been otherwise due to the costs to the voters.

well from business perspective, you are right... but why then in most countries, including french and mine too, its possible vote only from that each country in which the show is airing? I don't think they don't care about the business Well that the rule or license is saying you can vote only in THAT ONE country, thats ok... but weird thing is, TF1 is blocking everything.

I remember well, how some people asked our TV provider why there are not any normal french channels. And easily answer, TF1 and other channels have no reason to and dont want to broadcast outside... weird, but its working great for them... they have much better home-made shows than we and good viewers rank, without "help" of "outsiders"...
