Honestly, first impressions:

1. What am I looking at?

2. Who is being targetted?

3. What value does this offer me?

4. What do the buttons do on the top left?

5. I can't read the slogan.

I don't get it. Perhaps you should check out http://conversionxl.com/blog/

:) I like the music though

Interesting. I appreciate the sharp feedback. We want our users to see Famocracy as a StumbleUpon or Digg/Reddit for talent. The most important part of the site is at the top - the Discovery Bar. Every time you vote, you are taken to something new, which hopefully you can enjoy.

Is this something you think people would use for their entertainment - and if not, what do you think is missing?

I'd say entertainment plays a major role in crowdsourcing the voting.

You need some logical separation above the fold - ex. Recruiters, Talent, Entertainment (sic).

The thumbnails are a bit weird also, you should make it so that when you click the background you automatically get redirected to the content, instead of having to just click on the title.

You should also explain in short what the site is for - and why is it for you, and most importantly - what can I do on here?

I can also see famocracy as a place where people can go look for entertainment (videos, musicians) they wouldn't otherwise know about. So instead of just artists looking for recruiting, it could create sales for them instead/too :)

Kind regards
