And regarding the voting system I think people should be allowed to vote for the song they submit.

By the way what happens if you like the original verse more than the cover? Can you grade the submission with a zero?

original
Prong - snap your fingers - snap your neck

Cover
Six feet under - snap your finger - snap your neck

Cover Song:

ok this time Megadeth is the winner. I see noone bothers coming with a theme so I curse you with this one : Cover songs better than the original.

This is a special theme and we need to bend the rules a bit. You will post both original and the cover and the amount of points received for the cover song will represent how much that song is better than the original. So we dont vote the musical value of the song but the funny irony of replica surpassing the original. In other words even the song sucks terrible , if its a real improvement (no matter if still sucks or not) that should get a high score.

and I would like to hear other opinions regarding to voting system considering the flaw of the situation when somebody doesnt vote .

That is a terrible idea. One should just vote for the quality of the cover and nothing else. The current model is way too abstract.

I am a huge fan of the "Holy Dio" album that features various artists giving tribute to Ronnie James Dio, may he be rocking the afterworld. Only one of the covers on this were (in my opinion) better than the original:

Oh, If we're having easy themes like this I don't even need my music library. I know one out of my head. I'll be able to join anyways.

Indeed, not to mention that under these rules if you like the original song more you should give the cover a grade in the negative scale for having made the song worse. This is kind of a problem, especially with covers of metal songs.

I thought that you vote only for the cover ?
Any other way is to messy .

Voting for yourself is back. I foyu dont have a better idea than giving you a average ( 5) which will still prejudice the others in case one of the submitters doesnt vote then my original rules are back into force.

[_Tartaros_]

so how should we vote?

[Timoleon of Korinthos]

Ok, I am going to go first and I am going to vote based on the (perceived) value of the cover alone, as in many cases I liked the original song more than the cover, which under the proposed rules would oblige me to grade the submission with zero or a negative number and then everybody would jump at me for trolling.
