Do we have to pick the song or can we strum the song the song picker has picked????

Gidday Mojo
yeah i like this song a lot,i think version two best.
The feel & flow appeal to me.
May have a crack @ it myself.

This award is judged by all professional writers in NZ
all members of Apra  theres hundreds of voters.
i just wonder does a great arrangement & a good song
beat a great song & simple arrangement.
The winners i`ve heard are great records but are they the best songs?

Gidday all
I`d like your opinion on the following.
In NZ the big song writing awards have just been presented. It`s called the APRA Silver scroll award.
Any song commercially released in the previous yr is elegable.
i guess most similar comps work the same way.
I`ve often listened to all the final 10.
My question is.
Are they judged on the actual song  music/lyrics
or is the performance
or the arrangement
or all these things together  eg the final record.
the last point would be my guess,but if i`m right  surely it`s not truly a song comp.
your thoughts please

Wonderful writing,we`re getting some great stuff here lately.

Gidday Bill
So pleased to see ya back.
You`re a breath of fresh air.
look forward to more of your opinions on life & music.

Well i think i mucked up,did a quick version of Eagles song.
Then realized it`s Take it EASY   not peaceful EASY feeling.
Oh well i`ll put it up for a few days anyway!

If it`s one chord played with passion & energy, why not.

I think SOTM is a great idea.well done mods.
I`ve done a few snippets of SOTM to support the idea & the mods.
Many of the songs chosen are similar types.
I would like the mods to choose 1 song. Maybe a song thats been covered
by many different styles /artists.put up a link to a few versions.
Eg `Fever` recorded in the 50s as RnB.In the 60s by Peggy Lee (jazz)
Madonna in the 90s (pop)  2016 Russell from chordie (rock)    Plus many other covers/ styles inbetween.
Also 1 song picked from chordians suggestions.
The songs that have been covered so far are usually covered in the style of the hit record.Although often
the original performance done by the writer if different again.
hey just my two cents worth.

wow this is really something.
I agree with much of it.Brilliantly written.
But as this is a music site,i have to say
since i got into music i`ve met an awful lot of the self absorbed types.
There`s  a number of people on here that are not like this at all.
But in my other hobbies i don`t seem to find it a problem at all. Go figure!
Please write more stuff.
