Wow! Completely unexpected. In Brad's voice: "Anthony's got skills, y'all!". -
Fantastic job! So smooth, my man!

Wow, Killer. Got the ball rolling already. What I like is the idea of singing songs I don't know. Especially ones I never heard of before. Getting out of your comfort zone. This may have some truth to it, but the goal of these challenges is to explore new, challenging things as much as we can. If it was all about turnout, that's what we'd do. It's about doing things we may not have tried under ordinary circumstances. As many people as possible need to feel involved in this though, so that's why there's voting. The random selection thing was only something that happened because people hadn't been posting in here for some days. People just happened to be suggesting the same things on the last day, and I didn't want anyone to feel cut out of it because they happened to not log in on that day. It's very important for people to have as much say in this as possible though, so there will be voting for the genre and the song selection for this July's challenge. Unless people seriously object to that and demand that random selection be used again

Me as well. I've heard a few Nat songs before, but this one is new to me. Bono, we didn't vote. We've got a schedule to keep to on these challenges. Time was running out, and something needed to be done to keep uniformity and to keep everybody involved. On the 3rd, because of time, I said that, for 3 days, people would suggest songs. After that, 5 songs would be randomly selected from each genre of suggestions and we would vote for 3 days to choose what we were going to sing. Those first 3 days came and went and MDEW was the only one to pop up by the 3rd day. People had suggestions beforehand, but we still had absolutely no suggestions for Jazz. I had to change things again in order for the contest to start on time. Then 6 new people came in on the last day, plus other people suggesting things. There was no time to vote. I said what I was going to do, and nobody suggested something else. The random selection tool was only used because of time. This month, we'll aim to have everything be done by voting. In the meantime, I'd really like to hear you sing some Nat King Cole. Don't tell me you don't like him if you like Eric Benet Great Job Gsoul!! I was kind of kidding; and yes, I do like Nat King Cole I know you do, Bono. I was just explaining how things happened. I was going to have to end up typing up that explanation when talking about the whole strategy for selecting July's challenge songs, so it seemed like a good time to get that out of the way. Thanks. A lot of credit goes to "Random Thing Picker" for making an impartial decision That's great. Sounds like Gnee ended up really liking Feeling Good. I think you did mention this to me before. You said she was tall.

Damn right, Elvis. Like Brad might say, "Get er' done!"

Yeah, it's one of the most recognizable songs. If I didn't recommend that one, I knew someone else would. Any other suggestions? We got just one Country song from you and you can recommend two for Country and two for Jazz.

My suggestions for Jazz: Feeling Good by Nina Simone It's hard for a Jersey boy to pick one Sinatra song, so I'm going to go with my favorite. Summer Wind Suggestions end in 24 hours. I'm going to randomly select 3 songs from each of the two genre pools, then randomly select a song from each of those pools for the challenge. Then the new challenges will start and go until the 6th of July. New challenge will also start July 6th.

This is my second song. Feels Like Today by The Rascall Flatts This is a cool one. Sing the lead's part all the way through and maybe even try laying down back up vocals for the other parts if your feeling adventurous.
-
This is the first Country song I'm suggesting, "This Time" by Carrie Underwood.
-
Where's everyone at? We need some more suggestions for Jazz. Ronws "All My Rowdy Friends" by Hank Williams, Jr "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" Gneetap "Train Train" by Blackfoot? "I can't make you love me" by Bonnie Rait Elvis "You'll Never Leave" Robert Lunte "My Heroes have always been Cowboys" by Willie Nelson Hobbit Rock "Grand Tour" by George Jones MDEW "Cold cold heart" "I can't Help if I'm Still in Love you" by Hank Williams Sr. We have NO Jazz suggestions yet. I'm extending things until the 9th. I'll explain how we'll do things a little later.

Hey Bay, Welcome to the forum. Please go ahead and add a picture to your profile. If you are not sure how to do this, please watch this video: This helps the forum. Thank you.

Well, you actually can select two songs to go into the pool of possible songs to be chosen.
-
Great job, everyone. It was nice to see what everyone had to offer I know I certainly learned something from the feedback I got from my own attempt. I hope everyone here will give at least one of the two challenges we're about to have start for June (Country and Jazz) a chance.
-
Hey all, It's been requested that I put out an anonymous poll so that people can choose which version they liked best. Everyone did great to even attempt this challenging song. Please vote on which one you liked. If you took part in the challenge, please vote for someone other than yourself. Poll will close on June 9th.

Hey GSoul, I could not even see the attached file. It shows an empty window in my screen. What am I doing wrong? I put the new link up.
-
Yeah, sure we'll do that. I'll throw up another anonymous poll tonight. Voting will close on the 9th.

Hell, I thought Johnny would be Country.

Great job, everyone! May's challenge ended on the 2nd. Big thanks and a pat on the back to everyone who found the time to get involved! Alright. I've been thinking about how we're going to do this without really messing with the timelines and everything. This is what I've come up with. For the next 72 hours (3 days), everyone will recommend up to two songs for each of the challenge genres (you can recommend two songs for Jazz, and two songs for Country). At the end of this 3 day period, I will use a program to randomly select 5 songs from each pool of songs (5 songs from the pool of Country suggestions and 5 from the pool of Jazz suggestions). I will post a video of this being done so that the integrity is preserved. After 5 songs are chosen for each genre, we will open up voting for 3 days. and that's how we'll decide the winning song. The challenges will now start on the 9th, as soon as the voting is over. These challenges will end on July 5th. Basically, what's happening here, is we're moving the end date back 3 days so that we can move the start date back 3 days and choose our songs. July's challenge will start on July 6th. Voting for what we're going to do in July will still open June 26th. As for how we'll decide things for July, suggestions are welcome. I had an idea, but it seems to be slipping my mind right now, lol. So, go ahead and start suggesting songs. If you already have suggested some, the first two that you suggested will be chosen to go into the pool. You also have until 11:59 EST June 6th to revise your suggestions.
