Anthony Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I look forward to giving this a go! Although I'm not quite sure how the lyrics will sound sung by a Brit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I look forward to giving this a go! Although I'm not quite sure how the lyrics will sound sung by a Brit!Mick Jagger sang a lot of stuff in a country style.Sir Elton John sounds quite proper when he speaks. And like a redneck from the hills when he sings.So, maybe you will sound like something in between or neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronws Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I have two cowboy hats. One is a straw hat and the other is a black stetson. But I am not as pretty as Brad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Here's my submission! This was loads of fun!! I thought I'd been pretty faithful to the original with my Autumn Leaves attempt so this one is WAY out there!! I'm not sure what the rules are on over dubbed vocal harmonies. There are a few in this song, but the main vocal track is all one live take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Oh shit bro thats awesome!!!Do you mind sharing your backing track! Would love doing a cover over that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDEW Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I think you have just invented a new Genre.....Country Metal.....UK Metal Grass?.......I have been working on Hillbilly Jazz for the other challenge..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Of course Elvis! How would I go about sending it to you? Country metal - I like it! Maybe it will take off MDEW?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronws Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I am totally surprised, Anthony. You come in so meek with "Catch the Rainbow" and then. you do this. Good stuff, I like that you changed it to something new. It was inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 What can I say? I suppose I gave a certain first impression with my "Review my Singing" post because I was asking about something I'm not confident with. I see that I could have come across as meek. But now you know the REAL me!!! *Evil Laugh* Elvis, I will get around to uploading the backing track! Promise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks everyone! I'm eager to hear other takes on this.I'd never really heard a country song all the way through before this one, let alone attempt to learn one. It's not a genre that does much for me usually but the more I worked on this song the more I got into it. But then I suppose that's what this competition is all about!

MDEW Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I haven't had a chance to work on this one. These challenges are a great Idea it is a shame that we are not getting more participants. I don't know if everyone is waiting for their Genre to show up or not but the idea is to do something that you are unfamiliar with, whether it sounds good or not. Even if it does not sound good it will help you to grow as a singer and performer. Professionals often have to do things that they do not like. It is part of the job.

ronws Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I wanted to join the challenges but I just couldn't get a feel for the songs. I like Brad Paisley and that is a great song but I got so hung up on Rowdy Friends, it was blocking out everything else.And I guess, we always have the choice join a challenge, or not. But I can certainly enjoy and applaud others' submissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to kill that worm before I could concentrate on Autumn Leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is to be out of your element, in some shape or form, often. Speaking of that, where's everyone at with this? Who's working on it?

Administrator Robert Lunte Posted June 29, 2015 Administrator Share Posted June 29, 2015 Well, my time is going into just keeping the operations running around here...You know, maybe the ability to make a recording is a deterrent. It is a rather big obstacle; gear, know how, expense, etc... Geoff, it may be a good idea to look for some kind of web based system where people can just kind of sing into their computers and get a recording out of it. I know there is something like this that exists... some kind of karaoke community that has a user interface that people just sing into their computers... you can probably shoot out a file with it. I know Ive seen something like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
