That's already quite a list!

But if people are interested in more well... OK

PHiLL

I don't think Seby meant to have them all added as genres, just as potential themes for theme week...

Maybe a better idea would to be to simply add a THEME category, so all themes can be posted there instead of trying to work out which genre to post it under...

_________________

I think we should do a BLOOPERS week!

I LOOOVE those bloopers, but there's hardly any out there!

Phil: No need to add all the themes listed as genre's. Some perhaps, like Alternative make sense to be added. Other's don't make sense to add like 'Simply Sinatra'. I think adding a Theme genre would make sense to add though so we know which ones are tied to a voted theme and not necessarily a 'regular' submission.

I thought we did bloopers under comedy but I'm not sure and will add it as a theme. I'll add the other recommendations to the list and if you have any other themes you want added let us know! BTW, I REALLY appreciate the ideas... and I'm hoping NeverHeardOfHer does as well....

I've been trying to use 9 selections in the poll (during 'normal' weeks) and I hope it's not too much. If you want fewer selections let me know. I tried doing 10 but had all sorts of problems with the post and poll so more might not be real practical.

Recommendations for specific weeks:
'Lover's theme' week for February 6-13. That way everyone can sing love songs and prepare for Valentine's Day. I'd say do it the week after but a lot of people are 'over it all' or burned out on all the 'lovey dovey stuff' by then.

'Irish Week' for March 13-20. Irish drinking songs, Celtic, and anything else to do with Ireland for St. Patty's day.


NHoH, Sorry to hear you're a bit under the weather and I'll be more than happy to help if you need it... I'm just 4 hours behind the east coast and sometimes don't get on until late so I feel I'm letting everyone down by not posting the polls until late Monday and some people might not see them until Tuesday morning...

I believe you both are doing a wonderful job in handling the Theme of the Week. It is a great idea and many of the members really enjoy it. A BIG Thank you from me and I am certain that the moderators feel the same.

Anyway, I think I understand now - those were suggestions for the Theme of the Week.

I don't believe we have Alternative as a genre and will add that.

I also would like a Comedy week, that could include "Bloopers"

Thanks again to karaokemeister & NeverHeardOfHer and to all our members for participating. This really makes the site FUN!

I have a suggestion for "Theme of the Week" for Jan. 31-Feb. 4th.

Feb. 3rd is known as "The Day the Music Died" (1959) when Buddy Holly, Big Bopper (JP Richardson) and Ritchie Valens' plane crashed near Clear Lake Iowa.

I vote that we honor their memories by singing their tunes that week.

Whadda Think?

I'm game... NeverHeardOfHer (NHoH), you agree? It's your poll!

I might even get a chance to record between now and then!

I think it is a GREAT idea!! As well as, all the ones in this thread.
Thank you everyone for your input...it is appreciated.


Karaokemeister, I am feeling a little better, thanks for the well wishes. I can't wait to hear your sub!

Phill, you do plenty of work on here, any little thing I can do to help everyone have even more fun, I am happy to do!


This whole thing started as Genre of the Week (by our dear AllStar, I might add ) to encourage others to get 'out of their box' and sing something other than what they are used to. I think moving into adding Theme of the Week as well, seems to be just as fun for everyone!

Keep the great ideas coming!!!

I hope to be adding my subs to the latest submission page, when I am back on my feet....
...Yes, that is a warning!

Not sure if it's ever been done or suggested... but I have noticed several people "featuring" someone ...i.e, Margie & Cort, lots of you with kids.....etc.

How about "Feature a Friend" week. (With their permission, of course)!

It may even get some new members!

Just a thought....

Cindy

That's a pretty cool idea Cindy --- too bad I don't have any friends (outside of here that is -- well maybe I don't have any here either )

No - what I meant was I don't have any friends that sing but I'll try to find some if this happens ok?

!! No!!!

Those were suggestions for the 'weekly theme'
Sorry for being unclear, Phill!

Ohhhhhh stop it!! You definately have friends here, silly!
Thanks for making a comment regarding the suggestion too, Cindy 2 !!



Maybe someone that goes to the same Karaoke show that you do? Or a relative too shy to sing "in public"... ??

That's the funny thing about the karaoke shows I have gone to. One night I went to the bar and sang 20+ songs between 930-1am because no one other me and the KJ would sing (same guy that has "thousands of songs that are thousands of years old" I talked about in another thread). Finally after enough liquid courage some got up to do something that resembled singing?

I'll have to think about it -- I just love the idea tho -- would be cool! Even if I can't round up anyone I know lots of you all out there would be able to and it'd be cool!

Okay the theme of this week is MOTOWN!

Excellent job last week. ELVIS Week was a real hit.
