Week 10 Begins
**LOVE IT**! This week we are pulling a few from the suggestion box that we put out every Saturday, and some from our personal selection. Simply pick the one you like best and record yourself singing along with it. Then, drop your video and/or link to your post with the video of you down there in the comments section. Easy, right? Here's 'the catch'.

PRIZES
We have restructured the prize pool and a new prize will now be initiated. This is now a "Winner Takes All" contest. The winner will get ***1000*** delegated SP for a week from #thealliance's first witness, @zeartul. Huge applause for him please!
And the judges are…
Our 'Care Bear', @bearone has graciously decided to continue to lend us her eyes and ears and be one of our judges. The Corporal, @topkpop has agreed to continue her passion for musical talents and join us on the judging panel. We also have producer and fellow ally @christheaudioguy giving up some of his time to help in the judging. #thealliance is thankful for all of you. And finally, we have 'The Docta', @michaeldavid doing the magical math involved with tallying all the final scores. This is fun everyone, we're having a blast!
Community
This is all made possible by the fantastic community and involvement we have here on Steemit. Huge kudos to @enginewitty for the vision and giant of #thealliance@michaeldavid for helping orchestrate this contest. Big hugs to all our fellow allies that help out with donations and spreading the word. Music is an art and a passion of ours and we would now like to bring up our strongest supporters and think you should give them a Shout too!
Ah yes, what songs are we able to choose from this first week? This week as usual, we are catering to the audience and have taken some from the suggestion box so be on the lookout for it every Saturday for people that have a desire for a certain artist, band, genre or era of music. We also have to honor the late great Tom Petty this week...
