JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Creative Challenge Forum JPF Cover Challenge Poll

Hey Mark,

Thanks for organizing all of this...

I do think Jim's point is valid, though, about the multiple voting. What happens if there's a tie for instance?

I also wish there was some way to do this without names -- but everyone has such a distinctive sound/style, perhaps that's improbable.

Also, it only makes sense that those songs already musicated are a bit easier to imagine covering, since we hear at least one rendition. Would it be feasible, if you were to do this again (I didn't know if you were alternating b/w "famous" and the "Regular JPF" songs) to just post lyrics? EVEN IF music exists? Obviously, that's helpful for lyricists ...but might give the musicators an opportunity to post a song they just haven't been able to get their heads around musically. Even if the musicators posted a lyric where we might have already heard the music....maybe ask everyone to try to refrain from going to listen to it (Scout's Honor, and all that?)

Perhaps even this way, everyone could just PM to you the lyrics -- and you could post them without names? I'm not sure you'll ever get an even playing field with something like this, because at the end of the day it is a subjective poll.... And it may be too far off course from what you were trying to do with this challenge to begin with...

I dunno....just rambling...taking any opportunity to keep my fingers typing about SOMETHING .

Anyway, thanks again Mark!!
