Posted July 9, 20169 yr http://i.imgur.com/XnXJ9fp.jpg Welcome to the confirmation stage of the first edition of Reinvention, bought to you by Lottsey! I'm very excited to announce that during the final results we will be trialling out a new system of revealing votes based on Eurovision this year. More will be revealed with the voting thread as of course it depends on numbers, but just to let you all know this will be happening and hopefully should be very exciting, so make sure you get involved! Of course the theme of this is REINVENTION so the main idea is to send a song which has been reinvented in some way. Samples are allowed, however the track that is sampled in the song can not be by an artist with an Artist Forum. Covers are going to be allowed, HOWEVER in order to stick with the theme of reinvention the cover must be substantially different in its production and vocal arrangement compared to the original. Remixes are allowed but must be extremely different to the original track, so much so that it is barely recognisable from the original. For all of these, the track you enter must not be a UK top 40 hit on its own merit. This means that while Calum Scott's 'Dancing On My Own' or Jonas Blue's 'Fast Car' would both pass the rules above, they wouldn't be allowed as they have both charted in the top 40 on their own merit. All entries that pass the rules above and the "top 40 on its own merit" rule will then be judged on a case-by-case basis. Due to the nature of the spin off, the songs that are being reinvented via samples, covers or remixes should be fairly recognisable on their own so members would be able to tell it has been reinvented in some way. Of course the songs don't have to be recognisable to all members, and when confirming via the google form members are required to justify how it is a reinvention, so if you are able to justify it, it should be fine providing it does not break any of the veto rules! Myself, Lindsey and Dan will be making up the veto panel, and we will be asking if the version of the song (whether it be a sample, cover or remix), will have already been heard or known by a significant number of participants. For example, a well known X factor performance may be vetoed despite it not breaking the other rules due to it being well known. HOWEVER do not be completely scared of sending well known artists, if you feel the cover may be unknown enough, or a new discovery to the majority of members. To confirm please fill out the following Google form: http://goo.gl/forms/AwRA3vbEmYuMHFlD3 by July 15th Hopefully I have explained this well enough, due to the nature of the theme it's hard to specifically rule out certain type of artists so in some ways this may seem more relaxed, if you have any questions feel free to ask away via PM or in the thread and we will do our best to help! • • • CONFIRMED COUNTRIES • • • Aeroche Avalonia Botanikka Brechtoria Cadelicia Cor Lupus D'yermak'er Danaelanda Deandria Federal Republic of Ashton Fljótavík Flynnonda FSR Rontvia Hendinia Hushkanukia Jadakissnia Medhelnia Mulgracia N DNTN Ojnoj Persephonia Pupok Quintessa Ramrynia Séyetana St. Burbia Suedeonia Taahino Terra Avium Thelonia Triangledonia Ultraviolenceland Unovia Yehesi • • • 34 • • • Edited July 15, 20169 yr by princess_lotti
July 9, 20169 yr Confirmed something that I think is incredibly clever, but not sure if it 100% meets the criteria needed
July 9, 20169 yr Author personally I have gone for a mash up of two iconic songs sung by one of my long time BJSC potentials, who I have held off sending because I thought they may scare a few of you :kink:
July 9, 20169 yr Confirmed :dance: gone for a song probably all of you recognise but obviously not in this version!
July 9, 20169 yr Oops, completely missed the fact that this requires it to be reinvented covers etc. and I don't think my cover is original enough :lol: ok someone pass me a spade cos I got some digging to do :funky:
July 9, 20169 yr Confirmed. Nightcore ☑ Sample ☑ Remix ☑ Mashup ☑ Reinvention of a song that sorely needs justice in a BJSC sense ☑ I just hope I've managed to spam the original enough at people that the melody of this will seem at least familiar.
July 9, 20169 yr Confirmed! Going for a ~future garage~ track sampling a former BJSC entry :o (though the sample is probably better known for non-BJSC reasons lol)
July 9, 20169 yr Actually scrap the covers route I'll go down the remixes route and go dance after all :heehee: have a song in mind but looking thru iChoon for rediscoveries :o
July 9, 20169 yr Dance bloc will think I'm :zzz: predictable with this but there's no denying this is a bop following off his hit single :music: probably could figure it out just from that^
July 9, 20169 yr Entered, I'm going away for a week on the 23rd but looks like this should be open for voting in around a week's time so it should be alright. I've gone for something that wouldn't get past the veto in BJSC as it's a cover of one of the biggest songs of all time...but it couldn't be more different to the original :lol:
July 9, 20169 yr Okay, I did it, I sent in my current queen of life. This might be my favorite BJSC entry of all (even beating New Politics!) so if someone has taken it I will be so pissed off
July 9, 20169 yr Well, my preferred (and rather cheap :kink:) choices/all time favourites for this are ineligible, so I've gone with my favourite covers from Radio 1's Live Lounge - a group that are much missed covering a song from my favourite band <3 (not one of their highly regarded singles either, but they definitely make it their own), will be needing the dance/indie bloc for this one~
July 9, 20169 yr I've got 0 idea about what I want to send, not even sure if I want to send a sample or a cover :lol: I think I've narrowed it down to two songs that fit in the samples part but the song one of them samples isn't ultra known so idk :')
July 9, 20169 yr Can I re-enter 'Azz Klapz' x Original: Ku97f8D1LY0 no expert but this is probably a pm kind of question maybe again im not sure
