Alright all you happy peoples... here it is...
This is the first Round... all of you out there that auditioned are in for a treat... Ever since Radio began, there has been Big Band's out there playing music... some of the greats like Benny Goodman started it all. But don't get me wrong, the sound of the Big Band is still as popular today as it was 100 years ago.... take a look at some of the current Big Band singers out there like Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Buble'... so this is the genre... Big Band Era... I wanna hear you throw your full heart and soul into this one... you can rock it... you can soothe it... it don't matter... as long as I hear the sounds of the woods, strings and drums from a full orcastra in there, I'll be happy.
Now the Rules...
- Only new songs may be entered.
- Each round will last for 1 week
- No Bashing, Slamming, or Drama (I hate drama)
- Those who do not sumbit a song in by the deadline will not go thru to the next round, but will still be allowed to suggest genres and will have a chance to vote in the Top 10 Rounds.
- Judging will be done by myself, Cal-el and Michelle123... each of us will score you in the following manner...
1-10 points for being in tune with the song!
1-10 points for following the beat or spirit of the song (your emotional projection)
1-10 points for creativity in making the song their own without ruining it
1-10 points for keeping with the genre that is given.
1-10 for impressing the judges.
- This Round will last 1 week from Today... This Round will end December the 1st, at 6pm EST/SST

Ooh anything from Big Band Eh... sounds fun!
Actually I have a wee small question if I may? Is there a rule against resinging a song you've sung before? I don't mean submitting a prerecord, but rerecording something? I did a couple of my fave BB style songs when I first joined and might like to revisit them if poss!

Reply by hunnyl0vaGOLD on November 24, 2008 at 6:11 PM
I've got a wee question as well... are the song choices limited to the Jazz/Big Band genre? Or just any song with orchestra sound, even if it's not listed in the Big Band genre?

Michelle123 ideas for the newsletter? let us hear you!If you re-record it, then it is a new recording... As long as the song is "fresh" and dated 11/24 or later, you can use it.

Something like this is a great way to learn about music/genres you may not be familiar with. I find a great place to start is wikipedia.....here's a link to Big Band...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_band
After doing research there, just search for the bands/artists on YouTube, you can find just about anything there. If you need to see the lyrics too, many can be found at...

Hope this helps!

No problem... if you have a problem with this genre... I'll give ya a suggestion... How about Fever or Sway! Do a search for either and if you're not familiar with it... listen to some of the pre-records that have been done by others... problem solved! :D

As long as it has a big Band orchastra in it I'll accept it! Wanna hear the orchastra... see... told ya this is gonna be fun! Just think... there's alot of newer songs out there that use a big orchastra in the background with their original band... this could get more interesting now! :D

If its got a big orchastra in the background... that's all that matters! I wanna hear all the instruments... the more the better! And Jimbuhu... I think a size of 20 or so would be a good starting point of instruments and work your way up! :D

Ok... here's some good suggestions and something to get your creative juices flowing... I wanna hear just YOUR voice... no duets... so here's a couple of good suggestions for artists to look into...
- Bette Midler or Barbera Streisand - They both did some awesome songs with huge orchastras behind them.
- Queen... there's a modern rock group and brought the big band sound to a new age!
- Rolling Stones - They've done quite a few songs with orchastras!
- Harry Connick Jr. or Michael Buble - These guys are the appitimy of Big Band sound... they have really brought back the genre.
- Frank Sinatra - Ol' Blue Eyes never went anywhere without a band of 20 or so musicians backing him up!
- Joe Cocker - You gotta love the way he brings out the best in the music!
See... there's lots of music to choose from... take your time... we've got a week... if you're not familiar with a song... take the time to find it online and play it over and over to learn it... you never know what you can accomplish and what your voice will be able to handle until you give it a shot! And who knows... you may just find yourself a new niche to bring your vocal talents out in ways you've never dreamed possible... that's what this contest is about... finding yourself and having fun! Don't rush to get a song in... it don't matter... everyone will be graded the same regardless of whether they get their song in first or last... take your time... find a song that suits you... and WOW me folks!

Everyone has the chance of receiving 150 points per entry... the bottom 10 will be eliminated... but Iwas wondering... would you all like to see the scores you get when the round is over? If not, I won't post them... if so, I will... but if I do, just remember... it would be the combined score of 3 different judges... so please... if you get one the lowest scores... don't take offense or take it personally... Just try harder and keep singing... I'll take the majority vote here on this one!
