Category Face Off
Ah, let the Face Off begin! In Face Off, musicians compete to determine who delivered the best version of a song. In most cases, the musicians are performing the same song or a remix, rearrangement, or variation of the song. Each performance will be evaluated for vocal or instrumental performance, production, and so on and so forth. After blurbing about each performance, I will briefly deliberate and deliver a verdict about who wins the Face Off. Draws and ties are acceptable, but in most cases, one band, group, or musician will get the edge.
