A song has a Summer vibe or it doesn’t, or at least that’s my opinion...

well I think it's possible to rate it but if you have any other ideas tell us

Well, I think there should be total freedom when making music. As someone already explained, some producers are not able to make a “Summer vibe” song (I am a very good example). I tried to make a more summer song, but I couldn’t. Now, I think it would be fair to give a little boost to those who made a more Summer influenced song. I think the idea of making the top 3 and giving them from 1 to 3 points is a good idea. But I do think that next time there shouldn’t be any requirements... just our ideas :)

I agree, I'm not very good at doing this either. But I liked the fact that it made us try to do something different and go into a style that we're not used to.

If there's another theme like this maybe it would be better to announce it early so everyone has time to work on it.

I mean, I don’t want to say that the idea was bad at all, I’m just that type of person that thinks that art is a blast of inspiration... when you have to do a specific thing, you are blocking all that inspiration and you are obligued to think which sound fits, for example. I think the concept was cool, and as @Oriane has said, it tried to make us do something different. But I think contests are cool because of the diversity of sounds too...

Id say the top 3 Summer Songs gets another 12, 10 and 8 points. 

I think that's a little confusing tbh

But then, what if my General top 3 is also my summer Top 3? Then everyone's Top 3 would get Double the points. :saladga:

I think the best option is to ask people for their favourite songs and that's it 

Because otherwise I think it can be messy or unfair or something

But hey just my opinion, I didn't organise it so whatever the organisers decide will be okay with me

Whatever the host decides, is fine by me. 

But I do think that the contest should be about who made the nicest track. Even if the plan was for us to make summer songs. The songs that were submitted were not rejected in the first place, and now it’s too late for people to create something else. I bet the submissions are already more summery than the last contest. So it still identifies as a summer song contest in a way. 

An extra voting for “summer songs” would be kind of unfair because for some people it’s just not their thing, it could decrease their chance at winning. Any tropical house song would come out as #1 for the Summer song votes. 😂

Maybe if there’s going to be an extra voting for summer songs, it could give 3 (#1), 2 (#2), and 1 (#3) extra points, so it still gives the summer tracks a little more chance, but not enormously.

Sorry for the long post. I am beyond excited! I hope everyone else is too! ❤️

Well I can understand that y'all feel overwhelmed by the "summer-vibes" constraint. Though I don't agree that it is something bad at all for songwriting. On the contrary, I think that putting yourself some constraints can help develop your creativity and your contents. At first I thought it could be great to give a chord progression that everyone had to use, or a theme like "breakup" or "betrayal", or even an instrument that had to be in your song. Sometimes it can even help for those who lack inspiration. Then I thought that it would be too much to ask that's why I thought about this summer thing. Anyway I'm not mad at anyone for not liking the idea, maybe you should have said it earlier so we could have removed this from the contest. Anyway, the next host will be able to choose how's gonna be the next season.

Now, if you want:

- only one voting, including the not really summery songs --> put LOVE

- only one voting, excluding the not really summery songs --> put SHOOK

- 2 votings, one for 10 favorite songs and 1 for 3 best summer songs --> YAS

 

!! And I remind you that you have 8 hours left to submit your song !!
