Hey everyone!! Crooner and I want to give you a big country style welcome Round 1 of "DUETS COUNTRY STYLE". We have 26 Duet teams competing and above everything else, hope you all have fun...we know that we will!!!. Thank you all for wanting to partipate in this contest...we are excited and ready to hear some awesome country singin'!!! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE INTROS TO EACH ROUND.....you never know when we might put in a little twist or two!!
This round will be "CONTESTANT'S SONG CHOICE"!! That's right...YOU get to select the song you sing!! BUT.....don't think this round is going to be easy!! The purpose of this round is for Crooner and I to get a good feel for your voice and singing style because it is going to come in very handy in a future round! So when making your song choice, make sure to keep this in mind!!
With that said...here are the specfics for this round...
1. NO Pre-Records....songs must be posted after the posting date/time of each round. 2. NO song repeats....everyone must select a different song for this round. It will be FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE....whoever gets the song posted first has claim to the song. If someone repeats a song, they will be asked to submit a new entry. 3. If you select a song and make it into a duet, make sure that both partners have a solo part. Do not submit a song with JUST harmony added. 4. You must post the song before the deadline or you will be Disqualified. 5. Unless there are some real unexpected circumstances, the original deadline will NOT be extended. If something does come up, please PM me or Crooner and we will determine if there is a valid reason for an extension. 6. Please make every effort to listen to all entries.....it really makes people feel good to know that their efforts are appreciated. 7. No drama on the thread....PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!! 8. Most important of all.....HAVE FUN!!! We truly want this to be a contest you enjoy!!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
I want to let everyone know that I am dedicating this round to Crooner and his son!! For those of you who do not know, his son will be graduating from Marine Boot Camp at Parris Island, SC on September 5th!!! I know that he is so proud of his son and is anxious to for him to be home again...if only for a short time!!
To help honor his home-coming, I have created a special song to help celebrate this wonderful occassion. So Crooner this is for you...it is my way of letting you know how much your friendship has meant to me all these many months!! Hope you enjoy it!!!
woo hoo....can't wait to get singing with my honey.....better start looking for a song so we can get it in soon.....or as soon as possible anyway...lol.......flagging
I think I'll go ahead and claim "Making Plans" for us. We just sang it yesterday and it sounded great!! Robbie says he didn't know the song, but who could tell...He was awesomeeeeeeeee....
Claiming: "Making Plans" by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner.

Sorry Ellen...you can't claim a song in the thread...LOL!! It is first come first serve...so you had better get it recorded and posted so someone else doesn't get it!! LOL!!!
hey..looks like we're first..lol.. here's our song Squeeze Me In - Garth Books and Trisha Yearwood http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/b2a6a755 it was harder than i thought...lol
Reply by SunshineGOLD on August 28, 2008 at 11:06 PM
Well gang...gonna call it a night!!! I will try my best to keep the entries list updated as often as I can so that everyone knows what songs have been taken!!!
Don't know if Crooner will make it on the thread tonight or not....the Salsa King may be dead on his feet!!! LOL!!
Will begin my listens in the morning......Nite all!!
Well evening Sunshine !! Evening Crooner !! ;o) Here we are!! We started off with a good old tearjerker cause we wanted to make Sunshine cry LOL! ( shhhhh i did ) lol! ;) Here is our entry for round 1 *As soon as i hang up the phone* ConwayTwitty/Loretta Lynn http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/b1e5aaa5
I have to APOLOGIZE to each one of you. Me and Lynn have been really busy and I know we didn't get to hear most of the addtions. I'm so Sorry. I promise we'll get to ya'll on this round. God Bless
I didn't get to hear the auditions as well, Bryan. I'm gonna try my best this round to listen to as many as possible. It's hard when you're in 5 contests AND you have a life outside of snap. LOL
I'm here! I am not usually a country singer so this is going to be fun to learn some new songs. I think I might let Scott take the reigns and steer me in the right direction. HELP people are finished already??? LOL Hollars for Scott.......(is that what I do?)
I know Diane already went to bed....but here's a question .....do we have to do it with both names showing or can we do it together under one name? When your in the same house sometimes it is just easier to sing it together....but we will do whatever it is that you want us to do!!!

Sweet dreams everyone!
I may be stepping out of line here but Janey and I have the same situation and I think that the judges prefer both names on the posting. Dianne may correct me on this, but that's we thought they would like! Great question.... just my opinion! See ya!

Well it should be easy ......sing it together and then go to duet mode and mute the mic and let it record "nothing" and won't it add the name and not touch the recording ????
BTW ..... Here's mine and Mindy's Selection for this round .... I think she love's this song as much as I do .... and to think I found this song when I was singing for Dianne in another contest .... I really love singing with this gal .... .Thanks Diz ......
Peeking in.....Ohhhh, shucks, Dianne. I misread rule #2, I guess, sorry!!! And, I thought I read it all twice..hmmm..one more time!! lol!! Too many late nights, I guess... See ya all tomorrow..hmmmmm...well, later today...
Hi Dianne , just sticking my nose in to let you know that Num1gm (Judie) has agreeed to be my partner so we will be in touch again ASAP Regards and Hugs << Barry >>
