This challenge is open to all. It runs from Tuesday Mar. 31st until 7th April 2009 at 6PM EDT.

PLEASE READ THE GUIDELINES AND THEME DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING.

PURPOSE - The purpose of the EAW Music Challenge is to encourage people to create and/or promote new music each week and to give them a forum to have their songs heard. There is no judging involved.

HOW IT WORKS - Every Tuesday at 6PM a topic featuring a new theme will be posted on this board. Those wishing to participate are invited to post links to their songs that match the theme. You may post a song with a link from any online music/singing site you belong to. Over the years a nice little community has sprung up around these challenges. We invite you to participate but be aware that here everyone is very supportive of each other. Amateurs and professionals are both welcome. You do not have to be a great singer to participate. No flaming is allowed on this board. This is not a contest. There is no judging. It is merely an opportunity to hear and be heard by others. You can post or merely listen and interact with the others who post here. Please follow the detailed guidelines which are posted below and at the top of each new challenge thread. Have fun!

CHALLENGE GUIDELINES -

1. Post links to ONE OR TWO songs that fit the theme. You may post a THIRD one on or after Thursday. You may post a FOURTH song link on or after Saturday. Your song can be a new song or one that was previously recorded.

2. For EACHname of your song. For easy instructions on how to HOT LINK and post your song title, click EAW FAQ.

7. Please do not post glitter or large graphics as feedback or in the thread. Please keep to the standard font, size and color that is already provided - this helps prevent your songs and comments from getting lost in a sea of shifting fonts and colors. For your song title only, use 14pt font size and bold. This will help your song stand out. For more information on how to do this, check the EAW FAQ.

New challenge themes are announced every Tuesday at 6PM EDT. This current challenge will run until Mar. 31st, 2009, 6PM EDT.

The theme for this challenge will be: April Fool's Gender Bender Challenge

It's April Fool's Eve everyone! It's that time of year to play a little joke on your friends and family! We thought it would be a good idea to do the same here on the EAW Challenge.....Let's all sing a Gender Bender. Don't know what a Gender Bender is? If you're a female singer choose a song that was recorded by a male artist. If you're a male singer choose a song that was recorded by a female artist....No hard fast rules here. Let's just have some fun with it. So check your archives for a Gender Bender you've recorded in the past or record a new one for us....looking forward to hearing all of your songs this week. Thanks to Janet ahead of time for helping out with the Master List......

LOL nearly all of my songs qualify. I don't have a girly voice.

As usual I have to go to work, but I'm sure I can come up with something.

I'm happy to see you hosting again, Phil!

Have a nice eve, Everyone!

Adam · « **Reply #3 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:13:35 pm »

yeesh, and here I just posted my only gender-bender in months to the previous challenge!

Since y'all just heard my Pat Benatar I'm posting an older one that nobody but our lovely Janet has listened to... at least, she has the only comment. I'm not sure I consider it an true gender-bender because the song was written and sung originally by Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music. But it's been covered by [post-Natalie Merchant] 10,000 Maniacs and the British dance singer Emmie, and I'm using the 10,000 Maniacs' version... so I hope I'm on safe, firm, non-bendy-ruler ground here!

More Than This - 10,000 Maniacs/B. Ferry

One great thing about this place is I can keep a window open to hear someone sing at the same time that I write something somewhere else on the site. Like right here!

Right now I am listening to Rhonda. Welcome Rhonda! And thanks Phil for inviting her here. She sounds awesome!

Great challenge Phil. Looking forward to this one.
