I Was Once a Boogie Singer…

Remember back in the day when you didn’t have to be under 29, you didn’t have to “look like the whole package,” and you didn’t have to stand in line at a stadium hoping to be chosen to be on a reality show to be plucked from obscurity? Where are those shows like the 80s Puttin on the Hits where you could be an average person? (At left, a scene from a 1985 reenactment of the Jett’s “I’ve Got a Crush on You” by the thrilling combination of Stacy, Debbie, and Stacy!) Oh, yeah, and you didn’t have to sing either, you just had to be very good at lip synching. Sorry, those days are gone.
Well, the part about being a regular person with no connections still works in the PopStation contest. You can win without flying to any major metropolitan area. The winner wins a stay at a ritzy hotel in New York City and several days in a recording studio laying down some tracks on your very own album. Those who end up in the Top 100 will also win digital plaques to show everyone on Pop Station how popular your “record” was.
How do you enter? Well, there is something called the practice rooms. You can see lyrics and hear music on your computer, then you can download the Popstation Studio Software and you can record yourself singing the song and making it your own. People from all across the internet who register for Popstation can vote for you. So make it good! I almost forgot, you have to upload the song, and then watch it climb the charts. Publish your own press releases and see your fanbase skyrocket.
You don’t need elaborate props like the “Lion Sleeps Tonight” guy, because no one can see you perform. Of course, unless you put yourself on your album cover. Then they still can’t see you perform, but you could wear a pith hat if you like for whatever foolish reason.
If you enter the contest, write and tell me about it. I’d love to tell my readers to check out your tune!
