Lol! A lot of feathers ruffled in this thread. 😉

Allow me to climb up here really quickly...

I TOTALLY agree and honestly, stopped entering (though I play an instrument... even if it IS only a ukulele 😏) . I don't really think I'm quite *good enough* (though a LOT better than some I've seen 😆) to enter and NOT be wasting your time. I wanted to start a contest of sorts where folks could put videos of what they are working on, but not yet perfect. But I've learned, most think their sh*t IS perfect. 😎

It's sad how much panties get twisted when people think you are talking about them. Ya didn't even call anyone out, yet the virtue signaling cometh!

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. You made it VERY clear what you are after and *most* will see that. Obviously, you aren't dogging singers. For those that thought/think that, it's simply to do with how THEY feel about singing. 

You are super nice to explain to them over and over that singers are people too. LOL!

I flippin' love singing... and playing whatever instrument I can find and in no way did I feel like you were *using the wrong words* (isn't that more of a Facebook thing?) or *attacking singers*.

I saw over 300 entries in OpenMic recently. That's NUTS. Especially if it's a lot of karaoke.

## Side note: If anyone is still reading...
The Killer Whale Karaoke Contest has HUGE prizes and LITERALLY 3 or 4 people enter a week. It's easy money if you have followers to upvote ya. Just remember... it's KARAOKE... *singing on backed tracks*.

And lastly, those that are all *up in arms* about this... you can always just post whatever the heck ya want. For reals, ain't nobody stoppin' ya.  Just be respectful to those TAKING TIME and FUNDS to hold these contests. 

Follow the rules or find another sandbox to play in.😎

### Rock on, OpenMic Land. Rock on.

Thank you, my dear, for saying exactly what you said. I agree 100% with everything you said in this comment except one thing. 

You are good enough to play in Open Mic and you're never a waste of my time! Absolutely and we have missed you.

And remember everyone...
