Winners are posted!!
Billboard Top 100 US Singles Plus a Few More!!! Who’s the next UU Idol!! :rock:
This Weeks Theme
I love the uke and I believe one of the main reasons why people don’t play the uke is that they have never been exposed or they never heard their favorite song played!! We can change that this week by playing any song from the U.S. Billboard Top 100 Singles and show that the uke sounds good for any song!! The songs are listed right here:
http://acharts.us/us_singles_top_100/
I’ve seen a few videos but we have so many talented UU ukers and my goal is that someone listens to YOUR VIDEO and becomes a uke lover for life!! How awesome would that be!!
WE HAVE TWO CELEBRITY JUDGES!!
BRITTNI PAIVA http://www.brittnipaiva.com/home.cfm
KRIS FUCHIGAMI http://www.krisfuchigami.com/
One final song I will include is this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0
If this song can get 55 Million Hits in a month and it’s a foreign language to many of us, I figure a good version on ukulele can get at least 10 Million Hits!!
PARAMETERS
It must be a new video!!
The Ukulele must be the main instrument & You have to write or state it’s for Season 28 of the Ukulele (Front, Part of the Song, Back)
Post your videos in this thread
Also, in the body section of Youtube, it would be cool if you put http://ukuleleunderground.com so that someone new knows where to go if they are interested in the uke.
JUDGING CRITERIA
Points will be awarded as follows:
10 Points: Song Choice: 10 pts for songs listed 1-10, 9 pts for 11-20, 8 pts for 21-30 and down the list. Brittni and Gangnam Style will get 10 pts
10 Points: “Title of Song” as the title of your Youtube Video – You are not required to put 28th Season on the title but you do have to put the Title of the Song. Don’t forget to put your disclaimers for copyright laws!!
25 Points: Emotional Factor: How do I feel after hearing the song? Brittni says that with musicians can “Mess with other People’s Soul! We can make people feel happy, We can make them feel sad or angry” It is not purely based on how well you play. If you had fun, I’m sure I had fun watching it!!!!
5 Points: Set and Costume
** BONUS POINTS **
Each additional song gets 1 point (Must still have title of song). However, you have to state which song is your official entry, I want to thank Ukuloonie for making an entry list and a bonus list (He gets 1 bonus pt). Perform a song with someone else and get add’l 2 point for main entry.
JUDGING
I will pick the top 10 scorers and then pick 3 names out of a box as winners.
Brittni and Kris will pick their favorite performance and that person will automatically win a prize. How awesome is it to know that your video is Brittni’s or Kris' favorite?
Then I will put the 5 winners back in the box and pick the order for prizes.
