Ledgie Contest

[thepoetinmyhear]

CURRENT ROUND: ROUND 2
http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showpost.php?p=297550&postcount=105

Well, sadly I can't change a thread title and I would like as many as are interested to be aware of this, so I'm starting a new thread.

THE CONTEST:

First you should know what the prizes are (pics will be uploaded in the next couple days)
In order from least cool to coolest:

(2) Warner Brothers Promotional photos of The Dance Era. One is the picture we're all familiar with that was in the Rollingstone article. The other I haven't
seen too ften, but they're both common.

(4) Collectible Backstage Passes. Authentic backstage passes: two from the Wild Heart tour, one from the Rock A Little Tour, and one from the Mirage tour.

(1) Tusk sticker; A new york radiostation handed these out to promote the Fleetwood Mac Concert at Madison Square Garden on November 15, 16 1979.

(1) Stevie Nicks HBO promo poster. I ended up with three of these, sold one on Enchanted and have now decided to give the other away to a deserving Ledgie.

(1) Fleetwood Mac 1997 promo display - This is The Dance Pop-up that also functioned as the press kit. Complete with the band facts and dates card.

(1) a 6 page "BAM" reprint & a 4 page "Rolling Stone" reprint. These items are from the Bella Donna press kit. Literally you'd just be missing the pictures to have a complete Bella Donna Press Kit. Both articles contain photos and a really cool cover. The Bam article is Stevie Nicks: The Fleetwood Mac Siren Finds Solo Stardom by Blair Jackson. The Rolling Stone Article is Stevie Nicks' Magic Act by Timothy White. Both have cool tidbits in them and have the Modern Records logo on the back and bottom of each page (they did this for the press kit only)

and Lastly, my favorite: (1) 1979 Peter Beard Tusk Lithograph. To find out more, see EnchantedSLN post on this page http://burnish.net/fleetwoodmac/index.php?showtopic=100&st=15. The images are from the Tusk picture sleeves (albeit with a few extras thrown in) and the bottom of the lithograph has some lyrics from Tusk (all the songs are represented at least once) strewn about on tiny slips of paper. Again I've had three of these in my day so I'm sure the Burnish page is inaccurate about value and how many were made, but it's still a cool collectible and can be hung pretty much anywhere since it isn't overtly Fleetwood Mac (in case you have roommates that would complain about such a thing :( )

Ideally I would give the prize pack to someone in Vegas, but seeing as how a bunch of ledgies can't go, I will also be willing to mail stuff. I have three ideas as to what the contest should be dependent on how many folks would be interested in playing. If you think you have even a slight interest shoot me an e-mail (thepoetinmyheart@aol.com, please put "contest" in the subject line) or respond in this thread now that it is seperate from the seating chart and I'll decide how it's going to be played tomorrow night. The contest will likely be trivia or photo releated and is open to everyone, brand new ledgies and up.

Michael.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Is it open to people overseas?

Pip

[Kelly]

I am so game. I will probably lose to all the ledgies who stay on the Ledge all the time, Amber, but I am up for the challenge. I guess if you do trivia, you will have a time you are posting the question?
Crap Christine lyrics will KILL me.

[thepoetinmyhear]

Hey all!

I'm thinking about the overseas question. I've never mailed something overseas so if you shoot me a PM about how that works I'll make a decision. I'm open to it, but I don't want to have to go pay a fortune on customs stuff.

I'm leaning towards running all three contests as individual rounds with one round elimination. For the trivia round, a set of questions will be posted. All who decide to participate would have five days to find the answers and e-mail them (NOT POST) to me. This should allow everyone time to respond and get them right (sort of how the old Mac jeapardy used to run). The second round would then be posted along with the folks that survived elimination. This method would seem to make it a level playing field for those always on the ledge, those will dialup, those who are away, etc.

[golddustwoman77]

I'm up for a challenge. Let's play. :thumbsup:

[ontheEdgeof17]

This game is mine for the takin'.


Call it. I already won. :D

[trackaghost]

Wow. I want this so much it hurts :(
What do we have to do?

Oh, hell no. I was excited, but now I'm not as much, cause I don't know half as much about Mac as most people here. :( That's what I get for not being obsessive enough....

[amber]

Yeah, unless David decides to play.... :shocked: :)

[GardenStateGirlie]

I'm sure i'll get totally schooled but i'm gamed! :nod:

Well... With over 11,000 posts in under a year... I think you are well on your way... :laugh:

[amber]

Well... With over 11,000 posts in under a year... I think you are well on your way... :laugh:
Yes, yes, more jokes about how much I've posted. I still don't know all about the Mac. I feel I can never really catch up with all the knowledge and material others have. The collect stuff people. which are most of the people here. Luckily, it doesn't bother me much. I would like a nice little piece of memorabilia, though, I don't have anything like that. :) Maybe I'll get one right before someone else.... :p

[StevieNicksEO17]

I know lots compared to my friends, but nothing compared to people here, but I shall play anyway :D

[LiquidBlue5000]

Count me in ;)

[Nixxxed]

I'll play, just for the fun of it. :D

[Dark Angel]

Definitely count me in! :thumbsup:

[thepoetinmyhear]

Okay, here’s round one: 10 questions, about (keyword about) 50 points possible.

THE RULES
There will be no elimination after any of the rounds, we’re going to do this based on points. Round two is NOT TRIVIA. Longterm fans and newbies alike will have a chance to score big in round 2. Round 2 will be announced in four days. Even if you only know one answer to these questions you still have a chance to win.

You have until Thursday at midnight (United States pacific standard time) to send your answers to me: Thepoetinmyheart@gmail.com. Please note this is a different e-mail than the previously listed e-mail. As soon as I hear from Pip, I'll let you know about overseas, but for now let's assume ALL ARE WELCOME TO PLAY, even if you didn't e-mail or post that you were going to play. There will be a second prize.

Only one e-mail per round is allowed and you Must include your ledgie username in the e-mail.

I know some of these are tough, but I’ve checked and all of this information is available on the web (except for number 3). If you have a question about a question, post it here, but please do not post your answers here. The first person to e-mail answers will get a bonus 10 points, the second person 9 points, the third person 8 points, etc. This is just so you don’t all wait until the last minute.

ROUND ONE
1. While doing press for Bella Donna, Stevie was consistently asked about a new Fleetwood Mac record. In the fourth quarter of 1981 Stevie told reporters she had recorded three songs for a new Mac record. Which three songs did she say she had recorded for the album? (1pt for each correct answer, make sure to get the titles as Stevie lists them and only 1981 sources).

2. In 1979 Stevie “donated” a song to UNICEF (sort of). What song was it?

3. How many times has the word angel appeared in Stevie lyrics (demos do not count, only officially released songs, both FM and solo, not backing vocals, and only count the times the word appears in the song, note the Nicksfix is actually off on this one) (1pt for each correct answer).

4. What position did Stevie have in the VH1 100 greatest women of rock? What position was Fleetwood Mac in the VH1 100 Greatest rock bands of all time? (1pt for each correct answer)

5. Which non-fleetwood mac, non-stevie solo videos has Stevie appeared in? (refers to music videos only, not concerts or storyteller specials).

6. Name two songs that Stevie turned down that became top 10 hits. (1pt. for each)

The Easy section:
7. What officially released Songs has Stevie recorded with Tom Petty? Name them. (1pt. for each)

8. What officially released songs has Stevie recorded with Don Henley? Name them (1pt. for each)

9. What songs were in Stevie’s set list the last time she played Vegas? (1pt. for each)

10. What name did Stevie use to check into Betty Ford in 1987?

[thepoetinmyhear]

This post will update with clarifications. If something is added here you may change your answer to that question and only that question.

Some clarifications already requested:
#3. Only Stevie-penned songs count and please list the instances. The word Angels DOES count.

#9 This references the last time Stevie played Las Vegas solo. yes, the set list must be in order

New Clarifications:
#3, yes those faint angels DO count.

#4 I meant the rock bands one they did, but people have answered assuming the 100 greatest artists of all-time, so I will count either.

#5 non-solo means songs which were not originally released by Stevie Nicks. SO for instance a video for Leather and Lace would not count, but a video for Whenever I call you Friend would count. (there is no video for Whenever I call You Friend for the record).

#7 and #8, the only response I feel comfortable giving here is that the word vocals (lead or otherwise) never appears in this question so I fail to see the misunderstanding or the need for clarification. It means what it says, What songs has Stevie recorded with...

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

I don't see any probs with sending stuff overseas. I send and receive stuff all the time. The cost is dependant on weight and if anyone were to get stung with customs futies it would be the person receiving it. I'm pretty sure you just mark it as a gift

Pip

[thepoetinmyhear]

Okie dokie. I just wasn't familiar. Overseas folk are welcome to participate. Thanks!

[MacMan]

Yeah, I'm in Canada and have send to the UK or there abouts for quite awhile... No problems... Shipping is a couple bucks more, and I mark as a gift to avoid customs to.. and keep the value of the item (s) low on the little label you stick on it...

[Dark Angel]

Shipping is a couple bucks more, and I mark as a gift to avoid customs to.. and keep the value of the item (s) low on the little label you stick on it...

I mark it as a gift, and it still goes through customs. :shrug: Though now I'm wondering if I should start lowering the value on CDs I send overseas. The last two batches to Europe were $22 for shipping. That was via air mail, insured, and one was registered. Of course, it was about 36 CDs. :lol: So would marking the value lower make a difference?

[trackaghost]

Whew, done it!
That angel one was the killer. And I've still probably got it wrong.
:D

It's on its way!

Is this too complicated? Let me know and I'll change it.
By "list the instances" do you just mean the number of times for each song? ie, "Angel - 1 million times" like that?

[thepoetinmyhear]

By "list the instances" do you just mean the number of times for each song? ie, "Angel - 1 million times" like that?

Yes, I mean how many time stevie sings the word angel. Plurals weren't going to count, but since many people counted them already, plurals DO count. Those that responded and didn't count plurals can resubmit that answer. I will give an example of what I mean with this question:

let's say stevie wrote a song called, "I Sing the Word Angel Many Many Times" and the lyrics were:

This is a song about drugged out Emerald Angel
She danced like a Blue Chimpanzee
So I approached
I asked her to write this for Me
My Sweet Angel, Angel, Angel.

The answer would be:
4- "emerald Angel" one time, "angel, angel, angel" one time

You can phrase the instances however you like (some have listed all the lyrics and underlined the word angel - (you are all very thorough). Some have just said: "angel of the morning"x4. Pretty much anyway is acceptable.

For the record: There are still a bunch of bonus points points to be had for answering early.

I should also add that no one has submitted a perfect response yet, but none of the submitted ballots are too far off. Additionally, I've said before but I want to emphasize, while it will help to do well in this round, you don't have to score perfectly or really even close to perfect to still have a chance to win this. Other rounds may be worth more points... So if you can't answer all of the questions, don't give up, just send the ones you do know and guess the rest (there's no penalty for wrong answers).

Oops! I get to redo that one.

[skcin]

I'm in - sent you my answers last night. I hope I did the Angel thing right. :shocked:

[amber]

I spent all this time looking for answers, then finally started the Angel one. It was too daunting, I had to stop. Hopefully I'll finish tonight. But I don't think I got some others right, anyways...

[Kelly]

I am not getting the bonus points for submitting early. I am still counting up the Angels..girlfriend uses that word quite often. :laugh:
This is soo fun.

Well, there are still three days until the deadline, so take your time. There's still even one point available for sending in early.

[trackaghost]

How many rounds will there be?

[thepoetinmyhear]

How many rounds will there be?

Three. Also, one of the rounds will not be quite as objective as this one, so look forward to some guest judges (hopefully).

It could have been worse - he could have asked us to count how many times she's said dream/dreams/dreamer. :laugh:

[LiquidBlue5000]

It could have been worse - he could have asked us to count how many times she's said dream/dreams/dreamer. :laugh:

or how many times she uses the word "well" ;)

[thepoetinmyhear]

Hey all!

All the bonus points for getting in early have not been accounted for, so you can wait until the last minute if you'd like. There still hasn't been a perfect batch of answers, and no one's has been wildly wrong..

[skcin]

There still hasn't been a perfect batch of answers, and no one's has been wildly wrong..

Seriously? I thought you'd say "most people did well except for that jackass Paula - it's like she wasn't even trying..." :o

I just sent over 30 cds to the UK and it cost me 11 dollars.

[thepoetinmyhear]

I didn't want to make you feel bad. :D

Just kidding. You did fine, percentage wise you are above average. (welcome to Fleetwood Mac class, boys and girls). There's one question, though, that amazes me that no one has gotten it right. The correct answers have been given, but no one has put them all. (No, it's not the Angel question).

I was going to post the results here so everyone could see their standing at the end of the rounds. If people would prefer not to go that route, I'm cool with that. :)

This is pretty interesting... I'm curious to see how we all did... I know the one questions about which tunes she turned down stumped me... I knew of only one for sure and just guessed on the other.

Other than #2 and 10, that one is the one that nearly 100% have gotten correct (at least one of the answers is correct on everyones). #2 everyone has correct so far.

Keeping it vague so I don't give away hints.

Is it the Henley or Petty questions? I bet it is.

Wow, I was so certain I got them all right, now I'm thinking I got them all wrong. Damn.

i'm listening to my entire stevie catalog for the Angel question. no, i don't necessarily have to, but what else am i supposed to do at work? my crew HATES me right now... :nod:

When do the questions have to be into you by? I don't see anything about a deadline, and I'm sure there is one. I still have my answers, and I'm about finished. :blob1:

Thanks, I looked throughout this thread. I must be blind or brain-fried from giving standardized tests to my students today. :laugh: Thank God for the preceptive people like you. :D

[thepoetinmyhear]

Yeah, everybody has a little over 54 hours left to find those answers. I will say the one that no one has gotten completely right is in the easy section. I guess it wasn't as easy as I thought. :xoxo:

[sodascouts]

Regarding #3, sometimes at the end of the song Stevie will ad-lib lyrics not on the lyrics sheet. For instance, as a song fades out, you may hear an "angel" very faintly but it is not listed in the lyrics sheet. Should these be counted in the number of times she says "Angel"?

[sodascouts]

Regarding #4, do you mean Vh1's 100 Top All-Time Artists? Or is there another one just for bands?

[sodascouts]

Regarding #5, do duets count as "non-solo" videos?

[sodascouts]

Regarding #7 and #8, do backing vocals count?

[xxxmx]

nance, i share your pain ;)

[thepoetinmyhear]

nance, i share your pain ;)

Then you should have posted your questions. :p

I will expand presently:

#3, yes those faint angels DO count.

#4 I meant the rock bands one they did, but people have answered assuming the other one, so I will count either.

#5 non-solo means songs which were not originally released by Stevie Nicks. SO for instance a video for Leather and Lace would not count, but a video for Whenever I call you Friend would count. (there is no video for Whenever I call You Friend for the record).

#7 and #8, the only response I feel comfortable giving here is that the word vocals (lead or otherwise) never appears in this question so I fail to see the misunderstanding or the need for clarification. It means what it says, What songs has Stevie recorded with...

Why no participation? Oh, and if you're definitely not participating, would you be interested in, perhaps, being a guest judge for round 2? I'll shoot you a PM with the details if so.

only 9 other people besides me?? i'm liking my chances at this contest now :)

I'd be confident too if it wasn't for the fact that at least two of those people have websites dedicated to Stevie and/or the Mac and probably are Stevie experts!

[thepoetinmyhear]

Exactly Fifteen hours until the deadline :D

[BTFLCHLD]

f'in confusing :(

Yeah, I'm apparently doing it for the fun of...spending a bunch of time trying to look up answers that are probably wrong anyways!? Par-Tay!!!!! :rolleyes: :laugh:

[thepoetinmyhear]

f'in confusing :(

What's confusing? I've tried to be very open to clairifying things and making this easy. I even asked in the original thread if this sounded too confusing? Please, explain.

[MacMan]

It's not confusing at all... The questions are there... All you have to do is answer them by the deadline! How confusing can that be? Plus... by getting a wrong answer it doesn't mean you are completely out of the game, so that's a good thing.

I like shit like this... Gives you the opportunity to read though a bunch of stuff on the hunt for answers... I always learn something that I didn't know - or had long forgotten..

[thepoetinmyhear]

hey all!

We finally had someone get a perfect answer to the question I said hadn't been answered perfectly. Congrats takenbythesky!

Also, six hours remaining till answers should be sent in for this round.

[estranged4life]

everyone...If I wasnt stressed I would be participating with y'all (But I am trying to relax by burning DVD's for a fellow Ledgie).

[sodascouts]

Add me to the participants! I sent my answers in a little while ago.

I cant think straight like I once did...But I can still trade music/DVD's, So that is what I am currently using to get my life back to close as normal as I can :nod:

[trackaghost]

Woah, I just realised the song I missed out on one of the questions. :shocked:
Can I submit it now, or is it too late?

[amber]

Where's the answers, or whatever? I thought the deadline was Thurs? :confused:

[thepoetinmyhear]

I'm scoring some of the last minute ones as we speak (the deadline for submission was Thurs. night). I will be posting the answers, results and round 2 late, late tonight. For the record the question that only takenbythesky got right was the Tom Petty Question, most left off Silent Night, and the first person who listed it left off The Apartment Song.

Also, Don't Come Around Here No More didn't crack the top ten, almost, but not quite. The two songs WERE Call Me and These Dreams which according to billboard both #1.

[amber]

Thanks, poetinmyheart. It was recently debunked on here, somewhere, sometime, that "Call Me" was offered to Stevie. It was said, instead, that Stevie was approached about doing "a song" for the movie, but not Call Me, which blondie wrote. I think. Anyways, I don't care that much, cause I put "Call Me" and "These Dreams" - but it would be nice to know the truth, because I searched for a long time before I finally gave up and put "Call Me". I think Diss knows the story?

[trackaghost]

Actually Giorgio Moroder wrote the music and Debbie Harry wrote the lyrics. I think what happened was that the song was offered to Stevie and when she refused it, it was offered to Blondie and Debbie rewrote the lyrics.

Ah! But, if Giorgio only wrote the music, then what lyrics were there for Debbie to rewrite? :confused: You mean, Debbie wrote one set of lyrics, then when Stevie said no, Debbie wrote another set of lyrics? strange.

No, I think Moroder wrote lyrics to begin with and then when Blondie got the song, Debbie rewrote them. So the song ended up being a Moroder/Harry composition. :)

Or it could be that Moroder wanted Stevie to write lyrics... now I'm confusing myself lol!

oh, I see. Originally you said he just wrote the music.

[Johnny Stew]

oh, I see. Originally you said he just wrote the music.For the officially released version, he did only write the music.
But if I recall correctly, Stevie was offered a finished (or nearly finished) song and passed. When Blondie came on board, Debbie wrote new lyrics to suit her and the band's style, and therefore received credit for being the song's lyricist.

I can't resist...:D

Yep, you left off Outside the Rain, otherwise perfect. Also outside the rain was the reason I was hesitant to specify vocals in the question.

ROUND 2:
The Macster in you!

Show your creative side and do something to show how much a fleetwood mac fan you are: it can be a drawing (scan it in), a photo you took or tinted (of a band member or you dressed as or in the pose of a band member), an mp3 or wav of you singing, a poem, a story (burnish anyone?), even a comedic parody song, whatever you want. There are three judges for this round each with 50 points to give out, 20 for creativity, 20 for enthusiasm and energy and 10 for authenticity. Please note: this does not need to be Stevie-centric. You can use anyone from the Mac A possible 150 points are available this round. So, it's still anybody's game.

The deadline for this round is Midnight (PST) Sunday, May 1st. The final round will have a deadline of May 9th, and on May 10th the winner will be known. I will bring the prize pack to Vegas with me in case the winner is also in vegas, otherwise it will be mailed from Vegas sometime during my week there.

Judges: I will be a judge, and xxxmx and Dissention have volunteered to be the other two judges.

From the pen of xxxmx:
There have been posts asking how precisely we are judging the entries:

creative - showing me that you put effort into this, you took your time and developed an idea

authentic - you are submitting something original, not a slightly tweaked copy of another's work

enthusiastic - your submission conveys your interest in FM, i want to be able to feel something

Your Simon Cowell is here, love. Check your PMs. ;)

[thepoetinmyhear]

Thanks!

To all participants: You can start posting your stuff as soon as you want to. There will again be bonus points given out for those who get in early (10pts for first, and down to zero). If you have any questions, shoot me an e-mail (thepoetinmyheart@gmail.com) or a PM.

I should add you can start in this round if you'd like. You would have a chance to win although those chances would be better if you'd played the first round.

[thepoetinmyhear]

You can send your submissions privately, although it would be more fun if everyone shared them. I'm also not sure if the private messages function allows for attachments. You can e-mail them to me I guess and I could post anonymously or if the other judges have e-mail addresses they're willing to use?

I'll let you know.

[thepoetinmyhear]

We will take submissions privately, you can PM me to get the e-mail addresses. I do, however, urge everyone to consider posting their submission in this thread or at least allowing me to anonymously post your submissions. I think it'd be more fun to see what folks do with this round. :thumbsup:

20 for creativity, 20 for enthusiasm and energy and 10 for authenticity.

I'm unclear about what you mean by "authenticity." Do you mean how realistic it is? If so, how does that apply to something like a wallpaper or a song? Indeed it seems "enthusiasm" would be rather hard to apply to some entries as well. How does one tell if a drawing is done enthusiastically?

Hope I'm not ticking off the judges with my questions! This contest is a great idea. :)

[thepoetinmyhear]

Hmm...Sounds good to me. The only problem I have, is that "creativity" and "enthusiasm" and "authenticity" are all in the eye of the beholder (so to speak). Still, it sounds like a LOT of fun and I have some ideas brewing. :)


Well, we're going to clearly define those in the coming day or two (Diss, you have a PM coming to you). Essentially the idea is that you don't have to be able to sing like STevie or Lindsey or look like Mick or John to score well on this round.

Also, I have bad news for a couple of you (and myself). God's Garden was written by E. Johns, not Stevie and I did specify Stevie penned songs, so a couple folks are going to lose a point that I had given them for that song. I apologize. :(

I edited the original post. Literally only two people lost one point. It wasn't a big deal. I will, however, be posting the definitions of authenticy, ethusiasm, and creativity in relation to this contest sometime tonight. We just need to have all three judges on board and then we're set. I'm sorry this wasn't more organized :shrug:

I can't believe I missed this thread. Sounds fun. :)

[thepoetinmyhear]

It's not too late to join in on the fun. the first round was worth just 1/3 of the current round. You can still win even if you just do rounds 2 and 3, although you can't possibly win just doing round 3.

Hmm, kind of lame as far as anyone who just sings goes, what with the authenticity thing. :shrug: Oh, well. I don't know how to do any of the picture things, or whatever. Guess I could just drop out, anyways. Not like I had so many points, that I should continue. :laugh: I guess someone else, who actually already has memorabilia, will be able to add more to their collection. :thumbsup:

Eek! Don't drop out, that's like my biggest fear with this round was that people would be too scared to keep going (remember the PMs). Slightly tweaked copy of someone elses work applies more to photos than anything, like if I were now to submit a wall paper that just had the words changed but kept everything from the previously submiited wallpaer: that would be low on authentic, but singing a song that you chose would be a different story.

If you want to argue anything with me, feel free to via e-mail.I am open to disagreement.

Looks like I've been missing out on the fun! But before I jump in I have a question about this answer. Where did you get this setlist from? I thought Outside the Rain and Bombay Sapphires were dropped way earlier than the last Vegas show. Are you sure this isn't the setlist for the Pittsburgh opening night show that she did with Sheryl in July? Remember, if you got this setlist off a bootleg site, that those are often mislabelled.

I hope it's OK to post a portion of a review of that night I found on the Nicksfix by someone named Rick (full review can be found here: http://www.nicksfix.com/tisl_fanreviews_vegas_6th.htm). I have the relevant sentence bolded.

------------------

quoting Rick
I attended both Las Vegas shows and they were the BEST!!!!!! Friday nights set was incredible minus Bombay Sapphire. It did not sell out but I believe that was due to the high ticket prices set by the Aladdin. (booo) But it was great for us fans as you were able to move about and find a spot where you could dance and sing along without annoying others. Stevie was great. The band was great. It was just FUN FUN FUN!!! On Saturday night, it was a sell out. This was the show that had been postponed. Stevie hit the stage on fire!! Top form once again! But Stevie had a surprise for us........Sheryl Crow! WOW! No mention of her before hand and the crowd went nuts! We got the opening night set list minus Outside the Rain and Bombay Sapphire. Wish we got Bombay Sapphire, but hey, I'm not going to complain.


---------

Perhaps someone who was there can clear up the confusion?

[thepoetinmyhear]

A couple other people have asked that, I got it off a vegas CD I've got which it seems is likely mislabeled, but since it is only a matter of two points and I am not 100% sure either way, I'm not going to change it. If the winner wins by a margin of two points AND they answered this question including outside the rain and BS then I will post some type of tie-breaker for the top-two. Otherwise, I'm not going to worry about it this time.

Otherwise, I'm not going to worry about it this time.

I actually didn't get it right either, but it seems pretty clear the setlist of this bootleg CD is wrong. Maybe you should add points to the scores of those who put the correct one? Just a suggestion.

Me too! I have been giving standardized tests and doing grade cards this week. Also, I have been chorographing, practicing, and getting costumes for an entry in my school's teacher talent show, which is next Tuesday. It is for a good cause, even though it is a lot of work. It raises money for our school. We're nervous because we are the reining champions. :lol:
Due to all this, I have had very little time to complete my project. :distress:

My old computer had a microphone--this new one does not and I threw the old one away. Thusly, not a recent recording. Last year we had a karaoke thread happening on Burnish so I recorded a bit of Storms and we all posted things. This was my contribution. Please mind the heavy breathing and gasping for air. Allergy season...not a good time for singing ;)

Oh, no, I can't sing. Seriously, seriously cannot sing. At all. I'm bad. Really, really bad. :p But I will do drunken karaoke in Vegas if the opportunity arises. ;)

I'll probably just do something with the pics I took during that SYW Tour. Boring, I know. But that's about the extent of my creativity. :laugh:

Hey, nothing wrong with that...I love to see what people can do with photoshop and things when it comes to graphics. And if Lindsey, Stevie, and FM are involved? all the better.

Hoshit. Seriously. Ditto. This is calling out to my iPod. Is that cool?

Mikki- so, so awesome. Really beautiful. I mean- wow.

[skcin]

Jupiter? You rock, girl! I literally got goosebumps when I listened to you. Literally.

OK, for my entry I've put together a bunch of my favorite pictures that I took during the SYW tour. Most are from the Hershey show, a couple are from Toronto & Buffalo. They are nowhere near as good as many Ledgie's that I have seen, but they're mine & I'm proud of them anyway. I never had the good fortune to be closer than 5th row, but it did give me a different perspective - most people's pics were pretty close up, but you couldn't really see the stage & lighting. The best part of many of my pics is the lighting/coloring/shadows.

Oh, tossed in a few of myself that prove my Mac obsession too. :p

I hope I'm doing this right, it's the first time I've used photobucket.....

oops - way too big! Hang on...

That is weird..it worked for me and some other people. Im sorry :shrug: is anyone else having the same problems? Is there someone who can post my 2 tracks on their servers?

My entries are pretty lame in comparison to the others. I also feel a real hypocrite submitting the first one because my friend and I had a long running joke about fan art and we constantly make fun of it (you know, those drawings that look nothing like the person - I hope I don't fall into that category!)

Oh well, here goes:

Oh, I bet you can hardly wait! Anyway, here's my vocal stylings, I hope some of you get a kick out of them. It's okay to laugh, I did. Oh, and I'll be posting Angel in a bit, as well.

Well, I have sent in my Round 2 item. I hope that you got it, thepoetinmyheart. I did a poem about Stevie. I hope it will be understood; I think any Stevie fan would understand it though. :o Let me know if you get it, thepoetinmyheart.

[trackaghost]

Okay, you've heard the girls that sing great, now....THERE'S ME!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :laugh:
I wanted to yell and rock with Stevie, so I picked Gold and Braid, and I Need to Know! and, I'm actually singing with Stevie. :eek: The creative part is, I don't know hardly any of the words to Gold and Braid, but i'm singing it anyway!!! :laugh: Plus, there's a little "improv" in the middle for some more laughs! Oh, I bet you can hardly wait! Anyway, here's my vocal stylings, I hope some of you get a kick out of them. It's okay to laugh, I did. Oh, and I'll be posting Angel in a bit, as well. I chose these songs because I absolutely love to sing them, I hope you can tell! Heck, why else would I throw these monstrosities up for y'all? :xoxo: :wavey:

Amber you sound great!!! You CAN sing!!!
And I love the fact that you've basically got Stevie doing back up vocals for you :laugh: :xoxo:

aww, trackie. Thanks. what are friends for, if not to say something nice in situations like that? :laugh: :xoxo:

Here's my other entry, Angel. I love to sing this song, and I love this song period, but it's pretty hard (for me). Anyway, I kept trying to get it good, but finally just said "f*** it" and here it is...again, you may feel free to laugh. :woohoo: :laugh:

Well, I honestly truly enjoyed listening to it! And you not knowing the words I felt was just a tribute to Stevie's drugged out performances of yesteryear! :laugh:

I want to see!!! I can't write poetry at all, it would be a great treat!!!

[all the same]

Oh, and special thanks to Nancy, for hosting, and Trackaghost for providing invaluable materials. Although I'm sure they both don't want their name on this project! :lol:

Oh my God, Ambuhhhhh! I would probably poke you in your little eye if I was sitting beside you at a Stevie show! You are SOOOOOO annoying!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Just kidding! You can belt out the Stevie, BIG TIME!!! ;)

[all the same]

That was sooo fantastic! That happens to be one of my favorite songs. It reminds me a little bit of the demo (which I LOVE!).

Are you taking requests for your next mp3 post? :woohoo:

I can't find Hey Jupiter's original post back in the pile, but her version is out of control good. Such a beautiful soft voice. And actually, I like it MORE than Stevie's version! :cool:

[trackaghost]

Well, I decided to try and sing something, and in order to be quasi-creative, I sang one song from each of the Rumours-lineup songwriters.

Why: http://www.sardonicworld.com/images/whynancy.mp3

Gold Dust Woman: http://www.sardonicworld.com/images/gdwnancy.mp3

I'm So Afraid: http://www.sardonicworld.com/images/soafraidnancy.mp3

Warning: You might have to crank it up to hear me.

Wow Nancy I missed yours and you can sing beautifully too! What's going on? Why am I the only one who can't sing for toffee?

[golddustwoman77]

I want to see!!! I can't write poetry at all, it would be a great treat!!!


Okay, since you asked, and no laughing. ;)

I did it with a black background and white letters, and I placed a picture of Stevie (below), that I thought went with the poem, looking at the poem from the right side of the page with the poem on the left side of the page. (I couldn't figure how to put it on here like I sent it in the email, so I had to describe it for you. :shrug: )

In Her


In her I can feel the pain of the world
Like prayers unanswered by God
In her I touch the anguish
That only she feels just
In her I can see the darkness
Like the time before acceptance
In her I can feel a burden
One that she solely bears
Like a wooden cross upon the back of all humanity
In her I view real life, a trueness of self,
Not looking for acceptance from most
Only those who have felt the same hopelessness at their feet
In her I can see independence, dying to be set free,
Only too scared of what lies waiting out beyond the storms
In her I see genteel frailty shielded wearily with superficial strength
As she tries to face the steely world about
In her I search the harsh world that has educated her soul
A world she wishes to alter in hopes of healing her wounds
Only to be lost down the winding road that took her gods to salvation
In her I face myself her

That is beautiful. It made me cry. :o I'm so glad you posted it, it is definitely worthy of being shared. great pic choice, by the way. Thank you so much for sharing that with us.

[thepoetinmyhear]

Wow!

So, I haven't been on much this week andwas worried I wouldn't see any submissions when I checked, but geez you all went crazy and you all are so talented. I'll compile all the entries into one post around midnight tonight substituting your name for contestant A etc. Then the judges can just go off that one post. Again, results will not be known tonight, but the deadline is midnight (US PST), which gives everyone about 9.5 hours to get stuff in if you haven't already.

Again, you've all amazed me with what you've done :eek:

Thanks for the kind words. It made me feel better about posting it. :xoxo:

Well, thank goodness you did post it. It's beautiful. And also, I don't believe anyone else has submitted a poem. Poetry is hard. Great job.

[trackaghost]

Thanks for the kind words. It made me feel better about posting it. :xoxo:

Your poem is beautiful :nod:

[golddustwoman77]

Your poem is beautiful :nod:

Thanks again for the kind words, Trackaghost.

All I can say is "Wow!" to all the entries that I have seen on the board. We have got some really talented people!!!!! Every person who sang sounded wonderful, and the photoshop work was terrific. I'm glad I don't have to judge this. Amber, I remember listening to your entry, and you can belt it out, girl, and Stevie as your backup, great idea! Trackaghost, you have a nice voice as well. I'm listening while I type this. It is very hard to sing a cappella, and it was a great idea to do a song from several eras. I don't see how the judge will be able to pick. :shrug:

That was Nancy singing acappella! But I agree she sounded great. I did the drawing.

So when will the results be known? Anyone know?

Poetinmyheart posted above, said the deadline was midnight, but that he and the judges have a lot to go through, so he did not say a deadline. I imagine it would be in the next day or so... :shrug:

The judges originally had discussed Monday by midnight being a deadline for our results, but with so much stuff to go through I would be understanding if they needed more time. I'll see what everybody has to say once everything is submitted and let you know when they'll be up.

Edit - I just listened to Angel. :thumbsup:

[GypsySorcerer]

Wow. I'm really impressed by everyone's entries! :nod:

Since I can't sing, I'm submitting two drawings I made of Stevie.

On the first one, I apologize if it's a little messy...I did it completely by hand.

The second one is just kind of silly: a New Year's Card I made for a fellow Ledgie (I'll be sending it to you soon I promise!!!), thus the seemingly out of place "2005." :laugh:

Those are good, Justin! You're all so talented....I can't draw or sing at all. :laugh:

[skcin]

I am so jealous of everyone's talent. I cannot draw, sing, write poetry...nothing! Great job everyone! :nod:

Poetinmyheart - is posting our stuff here enough, or should I also email you my stuff?

[GypsySorcerer]

Okay, so I finally got the balls to sing something. Here's a really static-y version of me covering "Why," since my microphone is horrid and whatnot.

*gulp* (http://loose-screw.net/kate/why.wav)

Be nice. :x

You have a beautiful voice, Kate. :wavey:
