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 created by Warner Bros and VH1. Inspired by the upcoming romantic comedy “Music and Lyrics,” Warner Bros. Pictures partnered with the music and pop culture network to give songwriting hopefuls the chance to have their original love song professionally recorded in the “Your Music, Your Lyrics” songwriting contest.

Running from December 26, 2006 through January, 20, 2007, the contest asked contestants to write, record and upload an original love song to a special VH1 site. 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 February 2 at http://www.talentload.tv/musicandlyrics, and the top-rated videos will be judged by a panel of experts from VH1 and Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. The winning song will be selected on February 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 February, 14, 2007, “Music and Lyrics” is the story of Alex Fletcher (HUGH GRANT), a washed-up ’80s pop star who’s been reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. The charismatic and talented musician gets a chance at a comeback when reigning pop diva Cora Corman invites him to write and record a duet with her, but there’s a problem-Alex hasn’t written a song in years, he’s never written lyrics … and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days. Enter Sophie Fisher (DREW BARRYMORE), Alex’s beguilingly quirky plant lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter. On the rebound from a bad relationship with the newly famous novelist Sloane Cates (CAMPBELL SCOTT), Sophie is reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobe Alex. As their chemistry heats up at the piano and under it, Alex and Sophie will have to face their fears-and the music-if they want to find the love and success they both deserve. The film has been rate PG-13 for some sexual content.
