I know it shouldn't matter, but 12 is a very good and even number to start with IMO

Cageking, I would like to 16 before we start going, but if we don't have that by this Saturday (10/1/11), I'll start up the competition anyway.

So is there some kind of anti Sudden Rush conspiracy?

Thanks for joining, Double H/Nimble Dash. That puts our count at 13, with hopes of getting 3 more before the day is through. I will be starting the competition on the 1st, sometime in the morning before I leave for orientation at 8 a.m. EDT.

I'm pretty sure I understand how the competition works but I do have one question. When we select a song does there need to be a video for the song as well?

What do you mean when you say video? Like a yotube video or an actual music video?

You choose a song and PM a link to it to the host. It doesn't have to be an offiical music video. In fact, some awesome song choices don't even have official music videos available. YouTube videos with lyrics attached or just album cover art with the song playing in the background can suffice. Live performances also very very acceptable. Sometimes an official music video can take away from the song (which is the important part), but in some ways a music video can enhance some song choice's charm. Likewise with live music performances, which can be either really good or really bad. It's really just your decision either way. For instance, previous pick "Fell in Love with a Girl" by White Stripes was an awesome song choice. Coupled with the video, it was a really awesome song choice. On the other hand, something like "Rumour Has It" by Adele doesn't have a music video, and--as rankings from the previous game indicated--it sure didn't need one. And in another instance, "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree" by KT Tunstall is an awesome song, but the live performace of that is so freaking boss that it puts it way over the top in ways that the studio version may not have. But be careful, because some live performances suck in comparison to the studio versions. (All examples listed are songs that have already been used in the competition, so that's why I mentioned them ... ... on another note, while last season's songs are officially banned from selection, PLEASE do yourself a mighty favor and avoid other seasons' choices as well. They are not officially banned by the game host, but the thing is, ANYONE can go back in the records and see how a particular song ranked with judges and then reuse it, so that's just lame-o to me. For instance, I ranked "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin 1st in one season, and then I ranked it last in another season because someone just ripped it off from a previous game.) Previous season's song selections included below. Before sending in your pick, all you'd have to do is use the "search" option on your web browser and type in your song to make sure it doesn't appear on the list below. It takes a total of around 3 seconds to do, folks. I'd advise you to take the miniscule amount of time to do that. There are seriously thousands and thousands of songs out there that haven't been chosen yet. And remember, no one said anything about it being a negative thing for you to have to reuse any particular artists already used.) {Spoiler}AC/DC - "Big Gun" AC/DC - "Thunderstruck" Aaron Carter - "Crush On You" Adam Green - "Boss Inside" Adele - "Make You Feel My Love" Al Green - "Lets Stay Together" Alan Jackson - "Small Town Southern Man" Alexander Rybak - "Europe's Skies" Alice Cooper "Hey Stoopid" All Time Low - "Weightless" Alvin & the Chipmunks - "White Christmas" Apocalyptica w/ Till Linderman of Rammstein "Helden" Arcade Fire - "Wake Up" Audioslave - "Cochise" Augustana - "Twenty Years" Avril Lavigne - "Complicated" Babyshambles - "Killamangiro" Backstreet Boys - "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" Bad News 16 - "Cashing In On Christmas" Beastie Boys - "Sabotage" Ben E.

One more question. Since you can't use two songs from the same singer in the game , can you use two songs from two different bands the singer was in? I mean can I use The Beatles and Wings even though Paul Mcartney was in both or do I have to use one or the other since paul mcartney was in both?

Good question. I don't have a full answer to it, but I can say the best advice that this judge can give (since I'll be judging) is to avoid the obvious. (For instance, if you go Sting solo and then go with the The Police, I'm probably going to roll my eyes and judge accordingly.) If you accidentally get a support band member that's not carrying the vocals, I could see myself likely letting that slide.
The way I look at it is that there are going to be around 16sh rounds and probably a few double-dips/multi-song rounds, so maybe around 25ish different possible artists to use if one were to get all the way to the finals. If you can't offer 25 distinguishably different artists, you're probably not going to win FAN Idol anyway. (Not trying to be a jerk; I'm just kinda throwing my logic and rationale as a judge out there.)

My judgment is as follows: You can do that, but it will normally be frowned upon since you're trying to skirt the rules. Also, just a general template: From *-6, where * is the number of participants, we will have a single song per round. Once we hit 6 people left, it will go up to 2 songs per round. Final 3 will have 3 songs in its round, and the finals will have 6 songs in its round plus the public vote.

Am I allowed to play? Or are you looking for someone undiscovered, like the subtitle says?
