I could sacrifice my contestantship and be the music guy for this, everyone can let me know what songs they want to to do and I can re-record the music, I’ve been doing covers for contests for the pas year and I figure why the hell not, it’d open up a lot more choices. I’m ****ed cause they don’t have Blur.

I wouldn’t want you to sacrifice being a contestant but it would be pretty rad of you if you could supply those services. Log in to see images!

yeah that site blows, there are no recordings it just gives you a score for the songs based on your pitch

www.daretosing.com is a website suggested by Odalisque to host the recordings.

Tindeck has been pretty dope in the past but they’ll be down until the first of the month.

In, fool. Ill edit this post with my entry

Looking through the songs this site has to offer I don’t really care for it. I was going to suggest two other sites that I came across a while back (singshot and kSolo), however, they have been bought out by large companies (Fox and EA) and therefore kind of suck now.

I haven’t decided if I’m in or out yet. If I do decide to join I’ll edit this post with the link.

In like Flynn. Song to follow as soon as teh weekend.

Are foreign language songs permissible?

pointing out various relevant flaws

Oh shi- ah, well, that’s why the thread title was “FW Idol Sign-Up” and not the contest itself, yet. All points taken, though, when the actual contest thread goes up, the changes will be reflected in there, thanks guys. Log in to see images!

Hang on. Before people start entering, I propose this amendment to the rules:

Any cover song entry is all right, as long as you host it yourself. Where you get any backing tracks is your business, as is where you host them. If you amend the rules thus, several users (myself, odalisque and a few others) have already made good suggestions for how to record it (audacity, garageband) and how to host it (internetarchive.org). Anybody object to this amendment?

Wholeheartedly signed!

Edited rules this far:

REGISTRATION AND STIPULATION PROCEDURES

ø You must state your intention to compete in this thread

ø Have a reliable means of recording yourself singing (i.e. microphone or audio pick-up device of some kind).

ø Any cover song entry is all right, as long as you host it yourself.

ø Have some reliable computer access, because delays just really suck for everyone involved.

LEGALITIES AND OTHER MISCELLANEA

ø All final decisions will be made by the fair vote of, and only of, the denizens of Flamebate unless extenuating cirgreat timesstances call for otherwise.

ø Contestants must sing a unique song for every round. No one-trick ponies, please.

ø GGM clan members are welcome to compete.

ø You are welcome to run ads for a candidate you like, but that’s it.

ø Otherwise, any suspicion or sign of voting shenanigans will be turned over to a moderator for scrutiny, and will most likely end in a new vote being set up.
