You can sing to a track.  You can sing a cappella.  You can have someone accompany you.  But you must be the only singer.  (Occasionally, a pre-recorded song track contains background singers.  That's ok as long as you sing the lead).

 

Once we have your registration form and registration fee, we will send you instructions on how to send your song to us.  Once we receive your song, you will be sent the next challenge.  In the mean time, good luck and have fun.  We can't wait to hear your sing.
