Grant, Barrymore to Help Judge Aspiring Songwriters' Entries in Contest

(BI) Michael Worringer

NEW YORK-- Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore are taking their roles in their latest movie, "Music and Lyrics," to heart by personally judging entries submitted to the "Your Music, Your Lyrics" songwriting contest.

Inspired by the upcoming romantic comedy "Music and Lyrics," Warner Bros. Pictures partnered with VHI to give songwriting hopefuls the chance to have their original love song professionally recorded. The contest asked contestants to write, record and upload an original love song to a special VH1 website. The contest site ultimately received nearly 400 entries, while the actual contest page tallied 750,000 page views during that period.

Videos of the entries will be streamed via the website and assessed on the basis of theme, lyrics and overall musicality. Entries are currently being rated by online users until Feb. 2. The winning song will be selected on Feb. 3, 2007. The lucky winning songwriter will be flown to Los Angeles for the red carpet premiere of "Music and Lyrics" and will also have their song professionally recorded.

Opening nationwide on Feb. 14, "Music and Lyrics" is the story of Alex Fletcher (Grant), a washed-up '80s pop star who gets a chance at a comeback but has to come up with a hit in a matter of days. Sophie Fisher (Barrymore) is Fletcher's quirky plant lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter.
