    'Dorm room' entrepreneur wins global competition

    Milun Tesovic is just 24 years old. He's one of those guys who make you feel like you should be accomplishing more with your life.

    The British Columbia student at Simon Fraser University trumped 32 competitors at the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards in Kansas City yesterday.

    Tesovic is the founder of MetroLyrics.com, a popular music site that provides song lyrics.

    I just visited the site, and was thrilled to learn the lyrics to Lady GaGa's hit "Bad Romance" actually consist of these sounds: "Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Roma-roma-mamaa! Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!" (That's the most requested set of lyrics on the site. I can sort of understand why.)

    Tesovic skyrocketed to entrepreneurial fame because he recognized a need and found a way to fill it, according to a statement from the competition. He discovered song lyrics were some of the most searched items online, but that consumers' needs weren't often met.

    MetroLyrics.com reaches more than 35 million unique monthly visitors, and is ranked as the fifth largest music site in the world. And it sure doesn't hurt that the site is the exclusive lyrics partner for AOL Music, Billboard and MTV.
