[room to breathe]

The Management Team have declared war between the music boards to find out which music artist/band stands out the most and the [board name] is participating!

For the next month you can discuss which songs you would like to submit for each of the categories. You can enter as many of the categories as you like but it is only one song per category. A song can be entered into as many categories as you wish. Please note: The song you submit must be their own, and not be made famous by someone or something else. The only exceptions to this rule is the Cover Song and Festive Song categories.

At the end of the month I will set up polls so that everyone can vote for their favourite song in each category. The winners of each category will then go on to compete in a final round to determine our ultimate winner.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask Rae.

The Categories:
• Best Love Song
• Best Break-up Song
• Best Ballad
• Best Debut Song
• Best Single
• Best Song Not Released as a Single
• Best Empowering Song
• Best Fan Favourite Song
• Best Festive Song
• Best Cover Song
• Best Collaboration
• Best Music Video
• Best Use of Colour in a Music Video
• Best Use of Special Effects in a Music Video
• Best Concept Music Video

When you have decided which song you would like to submit please provide a link to the song so that everyone can listen to it during the voting process. I would appreciate it if you use the following format:

[Cereal Killer]

Thanks for the thread, Aurora!

We've got a lot of thinking to do.

[Street Spirit]

Put your thinking cap on, Laura.

[broken melody]

Part of me wants to wait until Digital Vein is released

[Cereal Killer]

Jas, bossy.

Ingrid, we can do that. There are some categories we can do before that if we want.

[broken melody]

That's true, there's a few we can already discuss

[Street Spirit]

Anyone have any clear ideas already?

[Cereal Killer]

I don't. I haven't really thought about it yet, but I really should. How about you?

[broken melody]

Okay I'll probably change my mind on some categories when Digital Vein is released, but here's my suggestions:

Best Love Song: Let Me Fall For You, Wait For Me
Best Break-up Song: The Last Song I'll Write For You, The Last Goodbye
Best Ballad: Permanent, Goodbye To The Girl
Best Debut Song: The Time of My Life
Best Single: The Last Goodbye, The Last Song I'll Write For You, Wait For Me
Best Song Not Released as a Single: Let Me Fall For You
Best Empowering Song: I can't think of anything..
Best Fan Favourite Song: So many.. I'm not sure
Best Festive Song: Not sure
Best Cover Song: Rolling In The Deep
Best Collaboration: I'm not sure..
Best Music Video: The Last Goodbye
Best Use of Colour in a Music Video: Not sure
Best Use of Special Effects in a Music Video: Not sure
Best Concept Music Video: The Last Goodbye

[Cereal Killer]

Those are great suggestions! I definitely have TLG in mind for the music video categories too. Fan favorite and covers are so hard. Do they need to be recorded, do you know?

[broken melody]

No I think covers can be live performances too but fan favourite would probably need to be recorded.

[Cereal Killer]

Yeah, I was most thinking about covers. That's good, though he has a lot of recorded covers too because of AI.

[broken melody]

David has so many amazing covers I picked Rolling in the Deep but I love them all to be honest!

[Street Spirit]

I'm sorry I haven't been posting here as should be. I have been brainstorming though and I'll share my thoughts soon.

Oh man, best covers is hard!

[broken melody]

There is still time, Jas And we might come up with different suggestions when Digital Vein is released.
