Lyrics Factor

[Mr stabby]

New Competition! Bap Bap boo ahh

Heres my idea for a new contest:
You, the public, submit a song written by you ona pre-determined subject, and then a team of judges(or a judge, depending on if this takes off) decide which ones go through to round 2, round 2 will be on a different subject, and so on and so forth. Each round 2 (or more) contestants will be eliminated, until we have one winner, who wins a brand new sig! As long as someone will make the sig.

So I need entrants, judges, and Prize makers, the better artists the better.

Whos up for it?

Contestants

Judges

Prize maker

Oh, and when you sign up, please say what you want to do :)


[/SIZE]

[Irvine Black]

Sure, I'll give it a go. Could be fun.
I'll be a Judge, since I can't actually write poetry or songs for shit.

[Soapie]

Write a song or write lyrics? If it's the former I'm well up for it.

[Mr stabby]

You can either write and/or perform a song, or just lyrics-poem style.
Ill put you down as a Contestant then shall I?

[Cryomaniac]

I'll enter.

[bionic sheep]

I'm so very in right now.

As a contestant, please.

Also, surely it'd be easier to simply make a poll and have people vote on the songs rather than get a panel of judges?

[Mr stabby]

We can do that at a later date Bionic, but the three judges pick some contestants each X Factor style.
Then we go to the public vote in round 2...

Enter as what Cryomaniac?

[chazmataz]

Ill give it a go! Im writing a song now can I use it? It isnt finished... Oh, yes I am entering as a contestant.

[Shave]

I'm entering as a lyricist :D

[Cryomaniac]

Enter as what Cryomaniac?

As a lyrics writer.

[Mr stabby]

Better turn out than i expected, I just need someone to make a prize and one more judge now.
But all contestants are welcome.

[Shave]

*cough* :ninja: (www.thisisnotacuetoattack)

[flamelitface]

I'll be a contestant. When you say a pre determined subject, do you mean by you? Or determined by us?

[Shave]

I assume by stabberz

[Jimmy]

I am a good composer, but when I get to writing lyrics, I crash and burn miserably. For that reason, I would like to be a judge. :D

[Mr stabby]

Were almost set, just need a prize maker.
If any of you know a dab-hand at art on the pc, could you ask.

edit. i made this thread before that forum was created.

[Smidge91]

Shouldn't this be moved to Forum Games Forum?

[Shave]

can we start anyway without the prize?

[Mr stabby]

MIdget might be doing it, but we can get started now.

First subject is : The world cup
Do what you want with it, anything from writing lyrics to performing the song in a band.
PM your entries to ALL 3 judges

[chazmataz]

How long do we have?

[Mr stabby]

How long do we have?

Till... Friday.
BUt I may extend the deadline to Monday, depending on circumstances.

[Shave]

I've got my chorus down, just need some verses now :p

[chazmataz]

I've got my chorus down, just need some verses now :p
I've yet to finish the chorus... but I have a verse!

[flamelitface]

Well I'll be sending a poor quality recording of my song, who do I send it to?

[chazmataz]

ALL the judges

[Mr stabby]

Yup, all of us.
Anyone finished yet? 'Cos they should be sent ASAP, may take a while to make a desicion.

[flamelitface]

I mean, shall I send it via e-mail? And if so, I'll need the addresses.

[chazmataz]

Yup, all of us.
Anyone finished yet? 'Cos they should be sent ASAP, may take a while to make a desicion.
Well I have 2 verses to go I have written the chorus, verse and half another verse. so I reckon maybe tommorow.

[Mr stabby]

Could you upload it to internets and PM the link?

If not, the 3 judges should PM they're email addresses to all 6 contestants.

[Midget]

Right dudes, here is my first idea for the sig. I'd make a copy of this for the winner of each round (with the respective round number on it) and then make a completely different one for the final round.

Tell me what you think of this one though first as it might be shit. Be brutally honest guys because I can always change it/scrap it and make a new one.

(yes filesize is too big atm but shush, it won't be)

[chazmataz]

Brutal? I like the text and colour and the blurry background but the guy at the front I dont like him...

[Midget]

Right good, that's a start, what would people prefer in his place?

[chazmataz]

I can tell you what I preffer but I'm only a noob. I thought the chorus of the winning song?

[Midget]

That'd be good for the final sig, yeah, good idea. :)

Anyway yeah think I've derailed the thread a bit, so if people could leave any ideas in a rep comment or a PM that would be nice. Thanks.

[Gromit]

Is it too late to become a contestant???

[chazmataz]

I'm afraid so. (I think)

[Shave]

can't see a problem as long as you get your entry in in time

I've now finished, but it's too long to pm (by 1000 characters :p) so could I have the judge's e-mail addresses please :)

[chazmataz]

You've out done yourself shane!

[flamelitface]

Is there any place I can host mp3's for free? That's quick and easy and not that devillish myspace.

[Irvine Black]

Is there any place I can host mp3's for free? That's quick and easy and not that devillish myspace.

Putfile is the only one I can think of, but it takes a while (or it did for me last time).

[Mr stabby]

Ive only got 1 entry in so far.
You got mine Shane.

[Irvine Black]

I've got Cryomaniac's entry in.

I've PM'ed you Shane

[Mr stabby]

Yus me too.
Should we have a judges discussion thread, or use MSn to discuss?

[Shave]

sent to chaotica and stabby, just need glooomps

[Gromit]

I need comformation from a judge or Mr Stabby, is it too late for me to enter?

[chazmataz]

I've sent it to mr stabby, tis only 3 verses but my band couldnt get together in time... So it isnt going to get many points or however it is done.

[Irvine Black]

Yus me too.
Should we have a judges discussion thread, or use MSn to discuss?

I think a discussion thread would be good, since my MSN has been shitting up recently, but PM would be just as good.

EDIT/ Shane, I haven't got yours, could you send it again?

[Mr stabby]

If you can peice something together by Sunday night, then its ok Gromit.

[Irvine Black]

Just to let contestants and the other judges know, I won't be around for most of the day tomorrow (Real life rears it's ugly head again), so Stabbers will be judging alone 'til then.
Entries are looking good so far though :)

[Shave]

sent again

will you be giving an analysis of the songs, what's good/what's bad?

[CoffeeMachine]

Don't know if it is too late but I would love to be a contestant.

[Mr stabby]

Right, CoffeeMachine is the FINAL contestant.
And Gloomp is no longer a judge, so just send via PM to me or Chaotica.
If file is too large, PM us for email addresses.

Each round, half the contestants will be eliminated, so there will be 3 rounds, this is round one.

[CoffeeMachine]

it'll be finished by tomorrow (hopefully)
what exactly is the subject?

[Irvine Black]

The subject is the World Cup, like it says in the first post :D

Be creative though. Even if you don't know a lot about football, you can still make connections with other things. Use your imagination.

[Jimmy]

Right, CoffeeMachine is the FINAL[B] contestant.
And [B]Glooomp is no longer a judge, so just send via PM to me or Chaotica.
If file is too large, PM us for email addresses.

Each round, half the contestants will be eliminated, so there will be 3 rounds, this is round one.


Heh, sorry- haven't been around for a while.
I'll still judge if you want :D

[flamelitface]

I will have mine done by the end of the day, I have it all composed, I just need a better recording for it, can the judges PM me with their e-mail address?

[Mr stabby]

Heh, sorry- haven't been around for a while.
I'll still judge if you want :D

Are you going to be around then?

[chazmataz]

Right, CoffeeMachine is the [B]FINAL[B] contestant.
And Gloomp is no longer a judge, so just send via PM to me or Chaotica.
If file is too large, PM us for email addresses.

Each round, half the contestants will be eliminated, so there will be 3 rounds, this is round one.
I have that feeling that Im the losing half...

[FyFy]

AFRIGGINHEM.

I've written this song, and I'm thinking about recording it still. It'd sound best if Weebl sang it, but meh. It's a lot more entertaining when you've got the tune, which is ragtime-ish. I connect this with soccer/football by saying that Jimmy, mentioned in the song, indeed played soccer.

I may just be a bit thick, but that made no sense to me.

[Irvine Black]

I may just be a bit thick, but that made no sense to me.

You're not the only one. FyFy, would you kindly stick to the subject?

Also, still missing a few entries. Less than 24 hours to go folks...

[Jimmy]

Are you going to be around then?
Yeah I will.

[Mr stabby]

Right, desicion time.
Due to only half the people being arsed to enter(timewasters) Im cutting straght to the final round.
Thanks to: Flamelitface, Soapie, Shane, Chazmataz and Cryomaniac for entering but only two of you will be in the final round(to be voted on by PUBLIC POLL!
Im picking my guy to take to the final, and Chaotica picks one, so the first finalist is................................................ ..



Soapie
SOAPIE

Congrats, the poll will be up once Chao decides on who your going up against.

[Shave]

shame about the lack of contestants

just to clafity: you pick one (soapie) then chaotica picks another. then the two world cup songs are posted and people vote for either of those two. no more new songs are written?

[chazmataz]

It seems so Shane... Congrats to the finalists.

[Mr stabby]

Yeah, i just hope noone objects to their work being posted.

[Irvine Black]

Ok guys, sorry this is late.
Anyway, the moment of truth. Soapie's rival will be......
[Drum roll]


SHANE
[/Drum roll]

Congratulations, and thanks to everyone else who entered, you did a good job.

[Shave]

woo! only problem is that I'm against soapie = :(

[flamelitface]

Oh dammit, I only just read the PM that told me that I gave them the wrong link. Sorry guys......that's kinda pissed me off now.

[Mr stabby]

Would people be interested in another round? New subject would probably be the end of Big Brother.

[Lippy]

i'd be interested in another round, but how about the subject been the end of a holiday?

[Shave]

I would, but not big brother

[Lippy]

I hate big brother, the celebrity version is interesting, but the non-celebrity version is full of weird, sad people trying to get their face on the telly.

[Shave]

oh yes, completely different from the celebrity version :rolleyes: :p

[chazmataz]

Reality TV annoys me.
I would have another go but maybe a free style one?

[Lippy]

Reality TV annoys me.
I would have another go but maybe a free style one?

yeah, like the one in 8mile.

[Mr stabby]

Well I was just thinking of an event thats come to an end.
But if you want to put an idea forward yourself, go for it.

[Lippy]

The end of a holiday
The end of a birthday
The end of sombodies life?

[Mr stabby]

It doesnt have to be the end of anything, just pitch some ideas, anybody.

[Lippy]

I think it should be just a free style type of thing, like chazmataz said.

[chazmataz]

Yeah because, I rule...
But I would like a freestyle.

[Mr stabby]

When yous ay freestyle, do you mean sing/write about what you like? Cos thats what i was thinking till Lippy said "like 8 mile", that got me thinking about Rap battles, which isnt what I got in mind.

[chazmataz]

Oh no no no. Yeah I mean real lyrics not a string of quick words. I mean on whatever you want how ever you want, but lyrics.

[Mr stabby]

Ok then.

Round 2 - Poetic licence

I need another judge, hopefully Chaotica will do it again, but if anyone else wants to judge, please post and let me know.

[Shave]

[Shave]

[Irvine Black]

I haven't recieved any entries yet.

[Shave]

I sent an entry to Mr Stabby yesterday asking him to forward it to the other judges because I was in a rush, but if you haven't got it I'll e-mail it to you later

[Mr stabby]

Shanes is the only entry in, and noone else has even posted in this thread cept us three, so i declare the winner (by default) Shane.
Well done, it was a good song actually.

[Irvine Black]

Congrats Shane :p

[Shave]

wow, I'm honoured to be 2 time champion :p

for those who didn't see it, and for my own self pimpage, here is the winning song (oh god I'm sad):

My Little Blonde

Verse 1:

Holy shit! You’re so pretty
What a shame, what a pity
You can’t see you make me dizzy
When you hold me near

I don’t care if you’ve got a train to miss
All I want is a little kiss
Please don’t walk out like this
I really need you here

Chorus:

You’re gorgeous, you’re a doll
You’re goddamn rock’n’roll
You’re sexy, you’re smart
So don’t you break my heart
You’re my angel, my delight
You’re how I sleep at night
I’ll miss you when you’re gone
My little blonde

Verse 2:

No question, so divine
Maybe I shouldn’t waste my time
Bouncing soul you look sublime
Every time you move

Lips on lips, it its the best
I don’t care what size the chest
You don’t need to be undressed
To look so silky smooth

Verse 3:

In a fraction of a second
I come when your finger beckons
I think you must be from heaven
Because you are a goddess

When you touch I start to quiver
Blood runs cold with a shiver
Having your love, it delivers
Don’t you be so modest

[Midget]

Made some little ones since shane has won twice and can't fit two HUEG sigs. :p
