Any further entries posted beyond this post will not be considered for the top 6 Winning Prize Rewards. Please remember to get your entries on time within the allotted time slots for each VIBES Week and Remember to...
1) Double check the quality of your video entry,
2) That you didn't forget the very important Intro Stating/Saying the actual current Vibes Week number LOUDLY and clearly enough, and your Intro is the same recording as your actual entry with preferably no cuts (keep your intros effectively short) and you didn’t just edit in a new intro into an old video (which is against the rules). Unless otherwise cleared and clarified with an Official Judge.
3) That your video actually plays, is not set to Private, but actually viewable with Unlisted Link or Public, and the video actually plays with Sound with at least 2 minutes of play/performance time with music (or acapella), and that the Sound matches the Visuals in real time perfectly...( avoid latency, lagging sounds or bad editing when matching up vocals to visuals, which is why live performance is the best and preferred to avoid these issues)
Some entries have singing before their mouths are actually open and moving, or instruments played without any hand movements, etc...
4) That the sound quality is good, no distortions or high frequency feedback noise (listen to your own entry with headphones before you post it, get a second or third opinion from someone non biased who will tell you the truth if it's good enough to post or not)
Also, make sure that if you are using a wired or wireless microphone that's attached to your t-shirt or other clothing item, that the microphone is not picking up all the sounds of ruffled movements from your body language and you moving around the mic as you perform.
5) That you performed live and we can visually see your face with decent lighting (if you're playing an instrument, please show your face, hands and instrument) Unfortunately some people pretend and fake their playing...
Also Please Keep in Mind of the Camera Angle that it is Not directed too closely to your face and or angled Up to your nostrils/nose. PRESENTATION IS KEY!
6) That you recorded in a relatively quiet place without wind or distracting loud noises
7) That your backing track instrumental is loud enough for us to hear it, but low enough that it doesn't overpower or block out your singing/rapping voice and or the instrument you are playing
8) Provide lyrics for your listeners whether it is a Cover or an Original and especially if it is in another language, also, translations are a nice consideration too for the community to enjoy
9) Remember that this is a competition with opportunities and prizes and hundreds of participants involved and that you should always give it your very best effort, continue to improve, experiment, grow and not give up
10) That you performed with Passion and No Fear, and didn't hold back anything
11) That this is a welcoming, caring music community to connect with others, collaborate, and to have fun! And while you're having fun, don't forget to tell other talented musician family members and friends to join.
REMEMBER, IT IS BEST OF SKILL, LUCK IS NEVER NEEDED!
Community Voting Poll will begin soon, us Judges are preparing the Top 10 list now. Thank you for your support, participation, respect for the guidelines and understanding.

Nothing but love, appreciate it
Cool
I’ll jump on it, we’ll because it sounds fun
That sounds good, bring some friends and family who are also talented in music, original or cover artists welcome, styles, instruments and genres of all kinds and various languages are also welcome.
😀 Wow! I slightly escaped. Yours came in right after mine was published.😀
Thanks again for reminding us of the guidelines to improve our entries.
Haha yes you did, others behind you afterwards were not so quick. But there is always next week, and everyone has to pay attention to the time constraints and deadlines. Vibes weeks are slightly longer than normal weeks so people do have time, it's all about planning and management.
You are very welcome winanda, that is the end goal of each passing week, that we all improve, and most importantly help to expand and onboard more quality performers and musicians. Key word is quality, so that we can all enjoy better entries, and grow the competition amd the community with the skill, talent and inspiration flowing in.
Yeah, I will do my best to submit my entries early enough in the subsequent weeks.
Sure, the more quality performances we have, the more we enjoy them.
Wow that's nice
Appreciate it, thanks
Yeah, thanks.
Yeah man, awesome notes here for everyone, thanks for this !:) blessings!:)
You are so welcome man, to the benefit of our community for sure. The tip about the camera angle up the nose just had to be said haha.
God bless
Thanks @verbal-d
This is well detailed and it is good for reference purposes, hehe.
Thank you so much for sharing this with the community, I hope we keep doing better moving on.
By the way, what do you have to say about an audio cover?
Thank you very much @hopestylist
I appreciate you and I hope so too.
What do you mean by audio cover? Basically having the audio in the background as an instrumental and you singing live over that track?
Or do you mean, someone playing the original track with the original artist singing the whole song and the participant singing their voice along with the original artist (we don't prefer this option at all) because most times people rely too heavily on the original artist's vocals to carry them through their entry and they themselves don't sing loud enough.
Will be waiting 🙂
The wait is almost over
Oh, I'm lucky to have to read this before I start sending my submission. I will hopefully join the next episode.
Thank you
You are very welcome, see you in week 16!
This is a well detailed post for every participant and future contestants to look on before publishing their entries.
Thanks for the guidelines ❤️
You are all so welcome, we can all enjoy higher quality entries when people just take the time and care :)
