How are we doing the public voting?

RAWK poll I guess, I think you can make it only viewable to the OP though..

Will set up a new poll each time with links to all of the songs. Mentors/Judges and the public can use the thread to comment about the songs.

Actually I'm the first one who suggested people should sing in the first place, Siann is the first one who took the challenge.

Not taking credit for anything like.  :D

Imagine what people logging on in the morning are going to be thinking?! They'll get into work, settle down, do their daily routine of checking RAWK to see what's going on, and be like...

"WHAT. THE. FUCK?"

I've been thinking that, and then trying to hide and sing a bit to participate in the acents thread without anyone in the office getting to know it... :D

Whatever song the mentor gives, has to be sung? Or can there be some negotiating?

No one should be forced to sing anything :P

Mentees should try their best to get into the spirit of it and sing what they're given, but there can definitely be a discussion / negotiation.

:lmao So the mentors pick the songs then? Hmm. Are we allowed input? I wouldn't have a problem with Sinatra, like. I love all that crooner, big band stuff.

Just want to point out to any would be mentors I'm very versatile in my style and delivery, I can literally go from Bruce Springsteen to Britney Spears in an instant. You just have a good think about that.
