Each week there will be a theme. Contestants will have about 4-5 days to record themselves singing a song that fits into the theme. They'll upload that recording (usually to soundcloud or vocaroo, but must be audio-only) and send me the link along with the artist and title. Then, a panel of judges (made up of non-participating members and random friends of mine) will judge your performances and rank them best to worst. The contestant who gets the lowest average score will be sent home.

This continues until we have our new FE Idol!

Okay I'll make an official Week 1 thread when I get a forum for this, but you guys have until Friday at 8 PM eastern to submit a song.

When you submit your link to me (by PM), please also list the title and artist of the song.

Also send me a theme for next week's songs. The winner of this week will have theirs chosen for next week's theme.

This week's theme is contestant's choice. Aka whatever you'd like.

Yeah, actually anyone else who wants to play can submit by Friday!

So if I were to join, I would need to sing a song each week into my voice notes on my phone (no idea what else to r cord myself with), upload that to the Internet, and then pm the link to Brian who will then rank each submission?

almost correct.

i won't rank them. i'll have judges do that, and i'll calculate the results!

it helps to have a backtrack too, here's where i've done this in the past:

non-playing FE members are welcome to judge, but i'll also be reaching outside of the site (to elsewhere online and also IRL) for judges.

i can try to get my mom to judge! she probably will just want to listen but not rank them though.

my dad won't care enough to sit through them all

either (unless it's specifically a cappella week), but usually people use background music

Reminder that songs are due tomorrow!

Please remember to include the title and artist for your song, and suggest a song for next week!

Yup, I've actually gotten a few requests for an extension, so I'm extending the deadline by 24 hours.

New deadline is tomorrow (Saturday) at 8 PM Eastern

You're welcome to update a submission if you'd like!

About 9 hours to go!!!

You guys have a little more than an hour left!
