Want to make a track with Wyclef? Then enter the comp!
Motorola have emailed me to let me know about a VERY cool new competition they are running – giving you the opportunity to be a MOTOROKR Star, and win the chance to create a record a track with none other than WYCLEF JEAN!
Wyclef Jean (for probably the one person reading this that doesn’t know) exploded in to RnB with the pioneering group THE FUGEES, only to further push the boundaries of the genre with his melodic, souful fusions. Most influential man in Hip Hop / RnB in the last 10-15 years? Well, he’s a contender….
Anyhow, rather than me explain how the competition works, here’s the official blurb:
To be in with a chance of winning the competition you need to have purchased one of the following Motorola handsets in the United Kingdom between October 1st, 2008 and December 31st, 2008; MOTOROKR™ E8, MOTO™ EM32511, MOTO™ EM3301, MOTO™ RAZR2 V9, MOTO™ RAZR V8, MOTO™ U9, MOTOJEWEL™1, MOTOZINE™ ZN51 or MOTO™ Z10. You can upload your audition without buying a phone first, but you will need to have proof of purchase if you are picked as a winner.
In the ‘How To Enter’ section you will find 9 carefully selected audition tracks to show off your unique vocal style. Record yourself and upload your vocal audition, singing one of the tracks – a capella, or self-accompanied with your favourite instrument. Once you are happy, go to the Upload your audition section, and once we have checked your submission, so that there is nothing that might be offensive or in breach of the competiton Rules we will post them on www.motorola.com/motorokrstar.
Then it is over to you. Get as many of your friends and family as possible to check out your audition and rate you. Of course, people that don’t know you, may also vote for you too. The Top 100 highest ranked auditions will then go through to the next round – the quarter finals.
Our panel of judges will review each of the Top 100 and choose the best 10 auditions based on raw talent, future potential etc. These 10 become the semi-finalists and go through to the next round and win themselves an all expenses paid trip to New York City.
