Habbox Music contest

I think that this is a good idea although I am unsure on how popular it would be on its own. I like Sam's idea of allowing instrumental clips in with Habbox Starz, that might work.

However some may not want to sing? :P

lmao i'm all for playing an instrument no jk

No I disagree with your idea about picking one song because I think it should be open to choice just like Habbox Starz really on what song you choose. I say this because a) you might actually not like the song you're playing, b) you may not be able to play the piece anyway because you can't play by ear (as some musicians can't which is ok) or can't make an arrangement of the piece because of this so if you wanted to actually play the proper part for your instrument you'd have to buy sheet music as a last resort which I don't think people would want to do for a Habbo forum :P and c) depending on which instrument you're playing will depend on if you get the melody, the harmony or just a few bass notes, this also leads onto pitch range that instruments only have a certain range they can play from and to so therefore if you're playing either a couple of octaves down or even in a different key it may sound a bit off and therefore people won't vote for you.

Did that make sense to anyone? I'm doing 100 things at once. :(

Yeah imagine if it was Smoke on the Water....

Bass: GGGGGGGGGG xBILLION
Guitar: Repetitive riff xBILLION
Lyrics: fair enough
Drums: who cares

Also, one song wouldn't work. If someone plays a french horn I doubt they would be happy if the chosen song was a classic rock song, like a jazz guitarist wouldn't like getting a drum and bass song lol

Yeah, I like this idea.

Well done Sam! Want to see this happen. WOOOO! :)

omg yay this would be a good idea. I've been meaning to showcase ma musical talents for ages +*+*+ Was even contemplating a Bolt660's clarinet/piano hour on Hxl no joke.

I could never reach the bottom keys of my clarinet :'(.

Therefore I'd be playing keyboard.

:P.

I think the only problem with this would be that people vote prefer and vote more for the singers as opposed to the instrumental musicians. So maybe if you did two different rounds on the same evening, like two different categories - 'The Singers' and 'The Instrumental Musicians' or something - then had a winner from each category and then open a vote between the two for an overall winner? I think that'd be fairer and may work.
