Gonna work on it. Really smooth it out. I want to have that done in about a month. I think I can pull it off.

As we just about come up on the halfway point of 2016, we've unfortunately lost several big names in music. Prince, David Bowie, and Maurice White of Earth, Wind and Fire, just to name a few. This is a challenge where we will challenge ourselves by selecting a song from the catalog of one of these great artists and attempting to sing it ourselves.
The only requirement for this challenge is that the song must be by somebody who passed away in 2016.
As far as time limits for this one goes, I was thinking about 45 days but suggestions are welcome.

Nice work, muffin. And Robert is right about jumping into things. 
I'll be posting in my progress thread very soon so you'll have somebody else posting progress regularly with you.

I did a Bowie song a few years, Space Oddity, though I had mislabeled it Major Tom.

I'm digging both of these. Gsoul sounds great with the Prince tune. I think with an improved mic you'd sit right in that track.
MDEW, I love that. Your voice sounds like you, but more more confident, firm, and supported. It sounds like the best direction you could go. 
I had time to be as loud as I want today without disturbing anyway, so I took rough stab at Life on Mars. It has so many chords and is difficult for me to play and sing at the same time.
I wanted to make sure something was posted before the challenge was over, but I'm hoping to get a better version once I get the chords and guitar playing more memorized.

"Space Oddity" by David Bowie

Some quicky vocals from tonight's training session...working on A4 and B4
I just sang against the actual song so it was a little hard to hear the rhythm track etc etc
 
Phrases from Rainbow "I surrender", Deep Purple "Mistreated", Badlands "Seasons", Soundgarden "Rusty Cage"
 
Its mostly A4 stuff except the Badlands is B4. That Badlands phrase "I know its too late" is the phrase I found my headvoice on about 6-8 weeks ago
 
enjoy, comment if u want to. Essentially I have about 4 decent days of training behind me now lol. Even that slight amount seems to be helping..so hopefully things well trend better for quite some time now

Great Job Bzean and Gsoul.
I was working on a Glenn Fry song and may upload it later. Too much thought going into it.
This is more the way I work. Remember a song, look up Lyrics and chords and just record it. The melody may be a little off and there is no embellishment. Just my way of interpreting the story.   Here is one for  Merle.

Awesome. I missed your voice. It's so distinct and that song is a great fit.
I've got a weird situation at home now, so I don't know if I'll have enough personal time to record loud noises right now. Otherwise I'd be all over this.

Did a first short take of the song by doing the first verse and chorus. I'll be doing this challenge gradually by working on things and posting them over time =)
 
 

Hey Champ,
 
Ya, ok... but this presents another issue. How long have you had 4Pillars?
Look, I often hear this, ... "I want to wait a while until I get this done or that module finished or the book read... ", etc.. 
Don't get trapped into a procrastination cycle!!!
 
You do two things... you study the course work while at the same time, you train the workouts; onsets, ITRs, etc... 
Not one after the other, its both at the same time... Your in the gym now, get going, start working out.

My song can you feel it is now available on Itunes as well as Spotify, google play, amazon and many more

If you like the song please buy it and or share it with your friends. It really helps.

Already been thinking about what I'm going to do.
 
Probably going to be this song by Prince. SO much soul!

A town/city/country based song sounds pretty cool. Ex. Philidelphia Freedom, Sweet Home Alabama, New York New York, Kansas City Here I come...............................Got a wife and kids in Baltimore Jack (closest big city to me)............

Patriotic songs or national anthems?  Good Idea Geoff.

When I read the thing about songs for cities or states, I immediately thought of "Fool for the City" by Foghat.
 

Also, one more thing came to mind. Killer had a great idea by making an imitations thread a few months back. That would make a pretty great challenge. An Imitations Challenge, where we choose a song by an artist and try to imitate their technique!

Yeah, so many choices there. Would allow us to hear some interesting stuff.
Like a Late Legends 2016 challenge? I like that.

At this point, we've done several genre-based challenges, where we voted on a genre, then voted on a song from that genre. We've also started doing non-genre-based themed challenges, like the Lover's Challenge from December, wherein any song involving love could be selected, and the more recent Artist challenge, where we voted on an artist and selected any song in that artist's catalog.
Where does everybody want to go next? I've been thinking for a while about doing a National Challenge, where we choose songs about our country or places within our country. I think I introduced that idea back in November, and with Memorial Day coming up in the states, I was reminded.
