This rule will stop scammers, not vocalists
That's why there are exceptions.
Here is another example of an exception.
Steemit Open Mic Week 67 De Una Capital A Otra Cancion Original --- by @ovweedb
Is this a karaoke entry? Technically, yes.
Is it a valid entry? Yes. There is no scamming going on here. These people are really singing this. A scammer would be lip syncing to it.
I hope that makes why this rule is here more clear. If you only knew the sheer numbers of people trying to scam this contest right now you would see why we had to do this.
But the example above would get upvoted for sure even though it is technically a karaoke entry, it is clearly not scam or someone trying to cheat the contest which is what this whole post is about.
Thank you!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏
I hear ya. I can only imagine how many bullshit entries you've been dealing with. I'd lose my mind ;) Good thing no one really tries to scam the Steemit Sandwich Contest.. yet lol
Anyway, i'm not the host & I'm pretty sure that you know what you're doing!
Much respect and gratitude for you & what you've brought to the music community on Steemit (possibly igniting it cough cough).
I saw no bouncy ball on the screen, it must be ok!
Seriously I wouldn't class this as karaoke at all, after all it's the standard way to record a lot of good hip-hop, singing over dj's or mixes.......... I liked these
It sounds musical to me.
