Can we change up the lingo a bit? Its really, really grinding my gears. I know you "aren't a politician" but please, for the love of musicians everywhere: the voice is an instrument. Body percussion-- is an instrument. If it sucks--- thats how you gauge it. Honestly i sing better without guitar but have just barely gotten my neighbor to sign ip for steemit. But beyond that.

**VOCALISTS ARE MUSICIANS TOO** 

If you suck, you are a novice.

But guess what? I can write and reas music sure i can play some other insteuments but voice is my preffered instrumrnt and acapella is one of my favorite genres. Please dont lump acapella with karaoke. Its not remotely the same. If this were a live venue a backing track wouldn't be totally welcomed but singing acapella??? What?!?!

**VOCALISTS ARE MUSICIANS TOO**

Thanks for all your work to support our community. Im sorry i havent been active as i dont like my mic and video quality. Also waiting on my bass player friend to work with me. Winter is kicking my butt and i have many interests. Music is my first love tho. Time management.

Like I said, there are exceptions. I could include an example of the kinds of posts we are trying to discourage and you would hear absolutely no instrumental quality to it. An entry would get an upvote even if the singer was off key but I'm talking about people mumbling into a mic like they are whispering in someone's ear you can barely hear, or doing a 20-second performance that is less exciting than an elevator ride with a sloth. 

It has been horrible and a waste of time and has nothing to do with music and almost all of them are entering acapella and karaoke "performances". 

I totally agree vocalists are musicians. I made my living as one for 10-years and I promise you if you were sitting right beside me as I pour through these entries you would hear that something has to be done to keep Open Mic from turning into something other than a musical community.

Novices are welcome here but someone trying to scam this contest is not. I know the difference. That's why there are exceptions to this rule.

Have you considered a minimum time limit? I think 2 minutes would be fair.

That is not so much of a problem but short songs are nice. More of a problem timewise is people singing a 20-second song with no enthusiasm and calling it an entry. Not even trying really.
