chud, please send stip those Lion King karaoke tracks from a couple years ago so he can sing "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" in the style of Tom Waits

They're on youtube.

It would be much more of a challenge if we have Stip choose our songs or at least the genre for us each round. One round could be Beatles the next could be Top 40 songs from the 80's. Stuff like that. Most of the time people choose such obscure songs they might as well be originals.


I like this

okay, do people want to have thematic rounds? I like that idea too but I don't want to scare away participants.

I probably wouldn't be able to participate with thematic rounds, as I'll most likely have to use something I've recorded already. Though it is a cool idea.

The idea would only work if people were willing to record a bunch of covers within a set schedule. It's probably not very realistic.

I was just joking, dude. I'll post Fearless and Red Mosquito as exhibitions if there's a lull in the entries, but if you sing over those other songs, that'd be cool. Saves me from embarrassing myself by yodeling into a mic.

I'm up for a Theme or Challenge round. Like, a Creed-only round.

Right now, for me a challenge would be "Don't cover a Wilco or REM song. Also, make it sound good." :D

It's a cool idea to let stip choose styles/themes. Though it might make things a little bit more complicated and time consuming.. but interesting..

It seemed like it at first, but there should be a prize for the winner if that's how its gonna go down.

This is the thread where discussion is encouraged regarding the formluation of a contest whereby participants "cover" something by a band other than Pearl Jam. "Cover" can mean "sing-a-long" and/or "play along". "covers" are not limited to just songs, but also extend to poetry recitals and stuff.

Wherether the required submission will be a free-for-all or one of a predetermined limitation will be announced upon Stip's return from ten days after July 26. Also to be announcved will be the due date(s) for submission(s)

Please correct any misstatements regarding any compenent aforementioned above.
or any heretoforethereto
