If you've ever seen it... lol... that happens to be a performance I've been in almost every year of my life. It's my source of Christmas spirit.

Never heard of it. Is it televised?

So when would you like to go for lunch?

Hey everyone,

Well after being in the christmas spirit I decided to finish a little christmas piece I was working on for a non-contest entry. So here it.

It's kinda a cover of 4 Christmas classics... in my own style.

Can you guess the 4 Christmas classics I used???
This was incredibley rushed cuz I won't have time to make anymore music for a long while.

Anywho... thanks in advance for any reviews and scores :)."The Classical Christmas" - Milkman-Dan

I'm not late, I'm teh man! :D One of the last lists for this contest fellow contestants. The final judging list will be provided by Rucklo, not by me!

PLZ keep in mind that I only put those submissions on the list which are stated as CONTESTANT / NON-CONTESTANT. Otherwise I don't accept them! Always remember to check back on the rules if you're not sure on something. Oh, and if something is wrong, correct me! I'm only human and I can make mistakes. Also, this list is friggin BIG. >: P

Deadline is 11/01/2006 - 00 : 00

IMPORTANT!! Guys and Gurls, those contests are based on a certain topic. You not just submit a song. You SHOULD create a song that fits the mood of that. In this case "christmas". I noticed that some entries that aren't quite christmas like, not in a bit. Be aware that you could get sorted out in the FINAL JUDGEMENT list because you failed to archieve the goal with your submission. For example the submission from attemptedperfection is an english ballade / folksong, not a song for "christmas" at all. I'll put it on the list but I don't guaranty that it will stay there. RUCKLO and LJCOFFEE got the final word here.

Who ever wonders where my entry is. Just hold on a little more, it's 95 % finished. *laughs at MaestroRage*

you will get pwned again...lol >: (

You can submit:

- 1 Audio for the contest (original or cover)
- 2 christmas Audios for the collection thread (originals or covers)

Alrighty ladys...last but not least the SUBMISSION List! You know the deal. ;)

aww, c'mon; I always hear greensleeves around christmas time; they just added lyrics and called it "what child is this?" so you're going to count me out just because I kept its original name? : (

I'm not saying I'm counting you out, we'll see about that. Rucklo and LJ got the final word here and if they think it's not good for the contest, then you're out. It's not a lollzorz contest. If you haven't heard right, this is a contest on the spotlight, so a bit more serious attempt on it plz.

I'm saying it's not a track that is not quite focused on this contest. It's an english ballad / folksong in his original. You're right with the "what child is this?",thats indeed an english song for christmas. Apart from that, making a cover won't give you teh big scores and it isn't the burner. I think you would drive better with making an original song.

This was a serious attempt; I spent a lot of effort on this. I knew I probably wasn't going to win, so I decided to do a cover, as there didn't seem to be many cover entries, and as a cover I decided to do my favorite Christmas-related melody; I don't see what's wrong with that. If you do a search on google for "Greensleeves Christmas" I'm sure you'll find that many other people consider it a Christmas tune as well.

I already said you were kinda right with that. But originaly it's not a christmas song. Fact is fact. It doesn't make any difference to me if it's on the list or not, I also pointed out that Rucklo and LJCoffee will judge over that and if they say it's ok, then it's ok.

This is a christmas contest, and we will have to accept the fact thatwhat is concidered "christmasish" is very subjective.

However, if the only christmas-thing that can be found is the name, then I really advice against submitting to this contest.

I listened to the song in question here. and I´m gonna have to say I personally didn´t find it "christmasish" at all, it more felt like a song from a sad version of C64´s"Internatinal Karate +" or something...

However, you say it´s something you strongly belive and feel is christmas (and maybe others with you, like you say) you´re definitely in.
However, do know that judges may have another opinion when judging, from their personal experience and liking. AFter all, this IS a contest ^^

Oh and @ MaestroRage

Your song is a CONTESTANT now, as wished.

I GOT ONE!!!! OMG!~!!@!

Mamberiences

Thanks :D

The score isn't anything spectacular, but goes to show that artists are using audio from this! ^-^ anybody else had theirs used yet?

I haven't even finished producing my song yet, and I showed a preview to a very good flash artist, and I got accepted : )

-So yes, this is extremely successful!

Awsome to hear you ppl like this contest, even though it aint done yet!!!
I definitley hope that we can be able to cook more contests up like this in the future, and most likley we will one way or another! :)

We only get better and better, and so does all the submission and artists!!!... >:)

0:50- Santa takes flight to deliver toys to everyone
1:20- Mood change; night time, everyone is sleeping. Santa is using magical powers to deliver all of his gifts.
2:08- Sunrise, Santa takes flight once again to return to the North Pole.
2:42- Kids are waking up and rushing to see what Santa brought them!

Great to see that entries are starting to pile up now!

Oh come on! There are so many great entries in this contest, there is no way you can guess who is going to win now.

Besides, money isn't everything. It's the publicity that really matters.

An extra $250 is nice though.
