Radio Redux – The Wrecks Factor

The Wrecks Factor is the now annual end of season competition that pits Sonic Fan against Sonic Fan in a battle to see who can sing the best – its become quite the institution!

The rules are fairly simple, we want you to produce a version of an existing Sonic OR SEGA song, bonus points are given for creative variation – be it sung in another language, in a duet or in some way different to its main competition has now split into two with the "known" faces of the Community and previous winners forming the "All-Stars" group and the second group forming the "All-Commers" group. There is a penalty for coming last in the all-stars category however… you must produce another song of AAUK’s choosing – traditionally the DK Rap, but it could be anything – the worst he can think of!!!

We’re also famed for getting in the odd guest judge, representatives from SEGA and Bentley Jones have judging entries of the Sonic kareoke competition with a difference.

The 2010 competition is now accepting entries! As with every year the competition gets tougher and tougher and on this occasion we have progressed to a couple of new gimmicks to increase originality and keep things interesting. Last least was all about lyrics, so this year its all about music! Bonus marks will be awared to those who create an ENTIRELY new song both the words and the music about Sonic. For those who don’t know how to compose music we’ve another option, we want people to try singing the words of one SEGASonic song to the tune of another!

The deadline has been greatly extended upon previous years and people have until the second Sunday in January to enter. This year’s judges will be announced at a later date.
