I wanted to use this contest to explain something about what these "contests" mean. I hope that people don't view these as a real contest, so to speak. I wanted them to be a collection of videos where differnt performers sing the same music. I find it interesting to view and listen to a variety of performances. Some people seem to think I want to portray certain artists in a poor light, this couldn't be further from the truth. Even the "worst" singer can provide new insights on a role.
