Necromancer Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I've been discussing the validity of "reality shows" over in Video Vertigo. I actually think they blow, but 40 million viewers of American Idol beg to differ. Anyway... let's hold our own version of this wacky reality "contest". Here's the concept. Make a vid of yourself SINGING a song. Any song. It can be as long or as short as you want. Host it on either youtube.com or photobucket.com and then post it here. Most clips can only be 5 minutes long, but you can present them in parts if you wish. You can't get "gonged" or anything like that, so there will be no huge embarrassment other than suffering the comments of your fellow TRF'ers. We'll post the vids in THIS thread only, and after a week or so, we'll have an open poll in random samples for everyone to vote on. I'm sure there's a Geddy inside all of our souls just itching to get out. Here's your chance to showcase what you got. Don't just save that "Fly By Night" for the shower... share it with ALL of us. If you got mad high notes on "Priests of Syrinx"... show us your chops. Are you an emotional singer? Give us your rendition of "Manhattan Project". Are you like Goober? Give us your version of "I Think I'm Going Bald". Anything you can muster up the cajones to showcase... DO IT!!! Let's have fun with this and see who's the next Geddy "Ruben" Lee. I'm not just the sponsor of this thread... i'm a contestant. My vid will be up by tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 You all are very very lucky that I don't have access to a video camera. It could've been the worst 5 minutes of your lives. This contest immediately made me think of Disco's rendition of YYZ with his bro in the park. That was good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromancer Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Come on people... get your vid cams going. I know there are some talented people on here. Let's see some of you musicians give it your best. C'mon now... everyone likes to show off a little. I was just downstairs watching American Idol with CeeJ for a few minutes and Seattle had THOUSANDS of people give it their best. And believe me... most of them shouldn't have.
