Hello hello hello

Is there anybody in here? Nod if you can hear me......
Well it's the 19th and nearing the end of our Rock Idol Song Contest.

Overall we did very very well here, much more good than bad. Sorry it got a little sour near the end, what doesn't lol... I do apologize for allowing that to happen.

Also sorry if I missed anyones submission or could not give it ample time in reveiwing. I needed to get to a lot of new postings and lots of stuff here to do as well.

Some things I figured out & some info

1- It's hard covering so many new & different ideas in a post like this. Maybe it should have been better planned. I think things out alot but always wind up winging it. A song contest with just entries and no reviews and conversation along the way (better idea) but how do we learn much from that????

2- I originally posted just a chorus didn't I ?? Then Samual Joe asked for the whole song, then he never submitted anything lol.. But my first goal was more write me chorus contest, melody or lyrics or both. Letting the whole song in took away some focus and maybe made it harder, not sure about that yet...

3- Maybe instead the next reward will be a free demo enhancment/mastering
Wait don't I do that all over this board already?
I hate to be really school like in any way really, but maybe a little of that mentality would help, just a touch. More rules!

4- My friend dropped by tonight to listen and I asked him to rate each entry. He is my non-musician friend that all my musician friends DISLIKE at first and for a while. Then they like him later. They never respect the opinion especially when it's not full praise from a NON MUSICIAN. Then they all send there stuff to the suits and record people, loads of NON MUSICIANS or couldn't hack it musicians/songwriters.

I laugh it's too much... I love it, I'm always in the middle of complete opposite personalities people, Neither can figure out how I can be so close to the other lol...

Anyway his picks were very interesting, we talked about the submissions, the contest,songs we hadn't finished, we also started figuring some things out about this one... what makes it difficult to complete etc... the mixing of the hard and soft parts etc.... he always has a great point that I respect, he just thinks differently.

5- I'm gonna try the poll thingy (hope I can do it right) cause I want everyone to vote for there favorite entry.
I'm gonna be posting the string of entries going from one to another with names and numbers on a list.

6- So there will be a few things, the members choice winner, my friends picks as the outsider who shops my music. And my picks... We will go top 5 but on the poll from all the members maybe we will make that a longer list.. not sure yet. Suggestions are welcome on that....

I'll wait to see if any thing on a final collab develops, All the entries had merrit and some would make a very cool alternate styled version of the song for sure.

Tanks!!
