Since offensive carols are permitted, I bring you Little Town of Bethlehem - in the style of the brilliant and very underrated Ratje. No actual f bomb in there, but I still give my submission *ahem* a red snowflake for sexual innuendo. :p-cool:

Now this is normally the point where I explain I'm not masochistic, but then again I just uploaded my singing for all of Trisphee to hear... so bow before my awesomeness! and listen at your own risk

As A Queen - to the tune of "Little Town of Bethlehem", lyrics by eliseratje ❄

Also, check out eliseratje on youtube if you liked this song. That guy deserves some internet fame. (NSFW obviously, except for his few Dutch songs, which aren't safe for work either but your boss won't understand their naughty lyrics)

Added, and I'm laughing my ass off. XD

I'm glad you like it. XD
When I first heard this song I just knew what I had to pick! You know, I even played the entire Christmas Special during family dinner, curious whether anyone would notice. They didn't, which once again proves how much attention people pay to an average carol's lyrics...

I guess I'd be singing a well-known carol. //shies away

shameless entry :D //shot

To prove I can also do family friendly, I hereby bring you The Match Girl's Carol, inspired by a tale of Hans Christian Andersen.

(Death by Mirrors' Entry)
The Match Girl's Carol

Hear my voice
Shout against the noise
Do you need some light?

Sellin' batches
Of my sulfur matches
This stormy Christmas night

Oh I'm just a little match girl
Whirling about outside
And when the winds and the ice twirl
I've no place to run nor to hide

Hear me shout
Get the message out
Do you need some food?

Light a match
From your precious batch
Then you smell a feast so good

Oh I'm just a little match girl
Whirling about outside
And when the winds and the ice twirl
I've no place to run nor to hide

Fingers bare
In the icy air
Do you need some heat?

Light a match
When the doors all latch
For a shelter from the sleet

Oh I'm just a little match girl
Whirling about outside
And when the winds and the ice twirl
I've no place to run nor to hide

Feet all cold
Still no matches sold
Do you need some love?

Strike them all
Light them on the wall
To guide angels from above

Oh I'm just a little match girl
Whirling about outside
And when the winds and the ice twirl
My flickering flame's hope and delight

Added both! Thank you - you guys are awesome~

omg pollik, I always expect everyone in avatar sites to be like, little girls xD then you come with that manly talented voice xDDD


Death By Mirrors, stop being good at everything >:U

Nah, it's too much fun to excel at stuff! XD

Lol mdom
Well that's a new for you then :D
Thanks for the compliment xoxo

Another (already closed down) avatar site I used to be at had quite a lot of men actually, so I didn't find it as big a surprise. But I liked your submission too. Do you sing in a choir normally?

Welp..I officially am chickening out on singing.
Maybe next year.
I keep getting to anxiety-ridden when I try to record me singing and I start feeling like my throat is getting all scratchy. XP

But I'm glad to see that there were a few submissions.

Aww, but you can do it! There's nothing to be afraid of, we only bite when asked very nicely. I'm sure your voice won't sound anywhere as bad as you fear it might.

If I can find the time and a decent song, I might still try it, but my anxiety has been kind of bad lately.
And I really do sound awful, especially when recorded.

You know what? I do too. Or at least I did for a long time, I don't know whether my voice has changed in the last years as I avoid recording myself. Funny is, it only concerns records of my actual talking voice. My singing sounds much better, and for some weird reason, if I record myself talking in an extremely grandiloquent flamboyant fake voice I'm too chicken to ever employ in everyday conversation, it sounds decent.

Trust me, I understand anxiety. But I still believe it'd be nice to hear you sing.

Yeah...I did a brief sample to test my recording app and my singing voice is pretty much just as bad as my talking voice...but we'll see.
My major problem is coming up with a not too difficult song that I own. Because I can't do acapella and I don't have internet at home.

As long as you have fun, you'll get compliments from me, Kaderin <333

Naww I'm too shy to do choir singing, but I usually sing when I'm taking a shower.

No Kaderin! You must join! You can't just waste that talent of yours. xoxo

Lol...I certainly wouldn't call it talent, Pollik. XD

If I remember to, I might try tonight to record.

You have a very good sense of rhythm though, that's why I asked. No need to be shy. If I tried clapping while singing it would sound like a total mess, because I can't do two things simultaneously at once for the life of me.

*sneaks into Kaderin's house and leaves a very visible post-it note as a reminder (and a soft cookie as a bribe)*

Lol. I think I know what song I wanna do. Unfortunately, it's got some humorous background speech/lyrics that will be missed because I don't have the capabilities to record separate tracks for them and then mash them together...but it should be fun anyway...

Thanks for the compliment Death by Mirrors.

Still waiting for your entry Kaderin :)

Yep, girl. We're still waiting. Come on, you even got a cookie - who else can say that? ^.~
I'm sure your song will be fun even without the background speech.

Well...IF I can get my song recorded and uploaded before I leave work tonight you'll have it to listen to. But one of my co-workers is still in the building, which makes me hesitant and also my phone is getting close to dead...
But I have the song ready to go on YouTube on my computer in the little office area I have so the sound won't be as overwhelming as it would be if I had to play the song from my phone...

Whoo, Kaderin! You can do it! There's still a few hours left.

It's kinda sad though we have four different people spread out through the categories, yet three prizes. Which means exactly one Trisphean will be out of luck here.

Come on, folks. Participate!

ahhhhh wait
does that mean it ends tonight midnight and not tomorrow @.@
I need to
uhn
run I guess

Entries extended for one more day.
I don't feel well, and can't be bothered to close / judge today, so you guys get lucky. XD

A Christmas tale

I waited all year
To be with my dear
On the night of christmas
I'm wanting some kisses

Now it's close to midnight
My chest feels tight
It's almost christmas
but I'm making a grimace

I was near the tree
But he was far from me
On the night of christmas
He was with a mistress

Oh-oh-oh
Christmas is the time for love...
and peace
Oh-oh-oh
But how can I smile if I didn't...
get my kiss?


I started to sob
while he begged me to stop
He said it was christmas
I had to show forgiveness

The bells were jingling
and I was giggling
Ok, it is christmas
but that was off-limits

Forgiveness you expect
but you have no respect
Today it is Christmas
what you did was vicious

Oh-oh-oh
Christmas is the time for comfort...
and joy
Oh-oh-oh
But how can I be happy if I lost my boy?

Now it wasn't his fault
it was the mistletoe
Honey, it's christmas
Can't break the tradition

He kept on talking
as I kept on walking
I know it is christmas
but you were malicious

I'm better off maybe
without my baby
Because it is christmas
at least food is delicious...


Oh-oh-oh
Christmas is the time for happiness
Oh-oh-oh
And I will live my life to the fullest!

We have winners!

Thank you for participating, those that did! It's be a real treat reading your work, and listening to your beautiful voices. ^^
As promised, everyone will get the exclusive item for participation, but I've chosen the winners. ^^

For our Singing contest, the winner is pollik20! Congratulations, and keep singing!

For our Writing contest, the winner is Death By Mirrors for the incredibly touching poetry. ^^

For our Art contest, the only entrant - XoGIZMOoX! It was a very cute lil' drawing, and I really I really WERE playing in the snow like that.

Congratulations to the winners, and don't worry! I have more contests in the coming months/events. ^^

Yay! Congrats everyone!
Also I love the mic xD

Thank you so much, and congratulations to pollik20 and XoGIZMOoX!

Actually, congrats to everyone who participated. I had fun too listening to the carols (Potironette had a cute voice and I think I already mentioned Pollik's sense of rhythm), reading even more carols (Gizmo's and Tam's made me chuckle even though I can only guess what redneck means, Potironette captured the sensual experiences of the season so nicely, and mdom's reminds me of a pop ballad) and looking at the picture (snow!)

Thank you Rainbowfox Ari! If you have other contest that needs lurkers/participants, you can ping me :)

Congrats all!

The mic matches peppermint dolly stuff xD

Thank you and congratulations everyone


Gizzie loves her prizes :D
