This was a spectacular show of skill! You all performed amazingly, and we all enjoyed some great mellow covers of rocking songs. I certianly enjoyed it, and you all have put smiles on the faces of ukers worldwide.
The time has come to announce the champion. It was a tough call, and almost everyone was neck and neck. Everyone's covers were actually much better than we expected they would be; they were legitamatly listenable jams! Great job! Among our favorites were Ukuleledaddy with Paranoid, thesillydave with barracuda, and we think that bbqribs took the mellow factor to the maximum with Born to be wild. But there can only be one King of Mellow.
So the contestant that had the most mellow and groovability of the cover, presentation, whos song was a prime example of mellowness and listenability as opposed to the rocking song of choice; the person who took their song and transformed it into an amazing mellow rendition is...
ReaderMo! ReaderMo is the new King Of Mellow!!!!! He will be receiving a pound of coffee beans of his choice, a certificate of kingship, brand new nylon uke strings, and a coffee mug with his newly earned title on its surface! So he will no longer be the King of Mellow "for the purposes of this contest" but will be known as the King of Mellow for all time! ReaderMo, message to claim your rewards.
P.S. I lied!!! there is indeed runner-ups! If your name was mentioned in this announcement, message me for your consolation prize!
So once I again, I thank you all for entering the contest. We all know how much guts it takes to record something creative and put it out there for all to see, and I really appreciate all of you who entered. Make sure to check the forum in May, as there will be a brand new contest that will be taking ukes to a whole new direction and level!
