Are covers allowed now? I've got a guy singing Maybe - Oasis word for word - and struggling with the upper register

I have to say I feel really sorry for the 4 star scouts, they've basically had their profits cut by 50%! From 15p to 12p yes, 10p would also be reasonable, but to cut it all the way down to 8p I think is a bit harsh. I'm not sure what stp are playing at, but its certainly not a way to reward the best scouters!!! I think just the first 3 stars should have been altered.

I think its probably the american 4 star scouts who are earning the most money ahh well

Thanks misspixie - I marked it down whilst giving some suggestions on improving. He sounds like the guy outside House of Fraser! I've e-mailed STP for clarification though just in case.

Good plan stp are always nice when they reply so i'm sure youll have a reply soon

misspixie doesn't everyone earn the same amount of money? or am i missing something?

STP replied re. Covers

'You are correct, covers are not allowed in slicethepie arenas.
Unfortunately we are unable to listen to all the tracks before hand and pull out cover tracks, but thanks for bringing this to our attention. The artist would not be able to progress to a Showcase with these tracks.'

MissPixie - might be worth adding this to the sticky in case you haven't already.

will do joey

JPGames everyone does earn the same amount, stp said in their review that certain individuals have earnt themselves £1,000 now there is a certain america slice the pier'er who has made it obvious he only listens to a small section of each track around 30 seconds so he is earning a large amount of money

i should have explained myself but i'm rubbish at that i think that its the american 4 star scouts who are making the most money because a few of the 4 star scouts i know of who are making that money are doing stp full time so therefore maybe thats why they have reduced the 4 star amounts so much because its the easiest star to be at to earn good money

Has anybody ever had it come up at the end of the song after you have tried submitting a track that you have already reviewed it so cant submit it again. It happened quite often in the last scout room but as I had listened to quite a few tracks I was never sure if I had or not even though I didnt think I had.

Well it just happened in this scout room and ive only listened to about 5 tracks so I know for definate that I havent listened to it before.

I have email STP, just wondered if it was just me?
