Belle 722 Posted September 19, 2023 #2181 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Yeah for USA and @Olympian1010 This is exciting. Btw I had the best time in my life in the Big Apple 2014. Miss it so much and Stockholm feeling very tiny and boring weeks after my homecoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,195 Posted March 17 #2186 Share Posted March 17 @OlympicIRL I have been thinking about a rule change for the Open contest. Or maybe it wouldn't even be a rule change, I just misinterpreted the song eligibility rule. We say that the song must be at least 5 years old. Are we saying this about song itself or the recording? What I am saying here is what if a song is more than 5 years old, but the original artist makes a new recording, which isn't more than 5 years old? That's not a cover because it was recorded by the original artist. Can a new recording of an old song be submitted for the Open contest if it was recorded by the original artist? I think a recording like that should be eligible even if it differs from the original version in some way, as it's still an old song, performed by the original artist. I doubt that this would be relevant in most, if not all cases, but I just want to clarify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Vektor, I'm just going out to the St.Patrick's Day parade but will give this more consideration later when I get home. I think I would be more willing to allow it as long as the song is sung by the same artist as the original and if it doesn't differ too much musically from the original. Might be a good one to put to a vote after this contest so we have an answer before the next Open edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
