Music Maven is your chance to put yourself on camera and tell the world what you think about any song out there.
We invite you to grab your camera and make a short video (three minutes or less) of yourself talking about what makes any track you choose heavenly, passable or horrible. Upload your clip to Music Maven and it will become part of the fabric of Billboard. The most popular or entertaining reviews will rise to the Billboard.com homepage, so the more folks who watch what you have to say, the higher the chance you'll land up front.
Music Maven is also the place to watch video reviews submitted by other fans, leave comments and cast your vote for the best.
Uploading video is simple. See below for complete How-To details, including technical specs and FAQs.
Music journalists aren't the only ones who care about what sounds good. At Music Maven, your opinion counts just as much.
