Hia,

anyone up for an acoustic covers comp? you cover 1 tune, acoustically, on video (youtube or whatever) and someone decides the winner, or votes on the winner even, that would be more logical.

Whats you think.? Sorry if it in the wrong section.

Maybe others would disagree but I dont think its the best idea. Maybe if we werent having so many competitions at the moment it would've been a bit interesting. The main problem I see with this is that we are on a songwriters forum. Where is the songwriting in doing covers?

Moved to the bar

Ram has a point, this is a songwriting forum after all - would be a shame to detract from writing. But it's your forum. If you can get the support from the members, you have my support too :)

If the cover was an interpretation perhaps. Joe Cocker's version of "Little Help from my Friends" for example?  ???
I have no authority or standing here, only opinions. :-)

i thought it would be interesting to see the person and of course it would be an interpretation...
a slightly alternative and contraversial idea maybe??? i hadnt thought so when i mentioned it.
i like hearing acoustic versions of songs personally...
