@claracmusic Evan chapman should've won =( ......CAN U DO A DUET WITH HIM AWWWW THAT'LL BE SO COOOOL IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES WITH SUCH A GOOD PERCUSSIONIST. btw i am in no way linked with evan chapman I just thought that cover was so cool being a fellow percussionist myself. oh yea btw btw, I like your glokenspeil (arrrgghh idk how to spell it) =)
@Rick666Rick i saw on facebook through friends that they won...perhaps I am wrong, but that is what my assumption has been. If I am wrong, I didn't mean to misguide anyone :)
I'm really disappointed i didnt get to make the deadline :( I was putting a lot of thought into this. will there ever be another cover contest?? I'd really love for there to be another one :O
@ClaraCMusic... ummm....i used to play music but i'm not talented enough to enter, but...... if i paid for everything would you hang out with me for 2 days, after I get back from the Middle East????? 0=)
Clara C I have 2 Questions for you! I hope you reply but, Will you make another cover contest? And also, Will you come to New york, Long island.. Or at least Brooklyn in new york? >w<...
This contest should've been judged by talent, and not by the number of views. There might've been so many different reasons the entrants submitted their work late. Plus, same person could've repeatedly watched the video to rack up the number of views for their own benefit. While I love Clara's music, the rule to this contest is flawed.
@inertial8 Agreed. I found out about the contest the DAY before, and wanted to do it anyway. Later I found out that it was being judged by views, which really saddened me. I wanted to have somewhat of a chance over the already crazily popular youtubes :-/ Still did it though, because I loved Offbeat so much! :)
Clara, I hope you have more upcoming contests like this to come! It's really rare to see cover contests in which anyone from anywhere can enter. Usually it's limited to residents of the U.S.A. Having this contest just opens more doors for people all over the world to be known in the music industry ;)
@ClaraCMusic Thank you for having this contest! While we won't be in the top 10, we had an awesome time putting together our cover and learned a lot. Hope you get to see ours! Thanks again for giving us this opportunity! :)
PLEASE WATCH BRIAN SHIN DOING A CLARA C COVER! HE IS VERY TALENTED AND NEEDS 12000 VIEWS TO WIN! IT IS NOT A WASTE OF TIME! I GUARANTEE YOU GUYS! PLEASE WATCH<3
I just found out about the contest yesterday, but I wanted to do it anyway-I don't have many views, but I loved the song "Offbeat" so much, that I did it anyway! :D
Knowing that the last minute entering contestants are just uploading theirs to show the love of Clara's music or to present their unrecognized talents, all the contestants who upload their videos by the midnight of Jan 7, 2012 should be judged.(eastern? or western?) You also should come up with 1st prize from each category ex) instrumentals only/duet or group/ vocal /combination of everything and do a random drawing out of all the contestants at the end to meet Clara C. Just my thought...
I'm currently rendering my video. Have been very busy and only got two weeks or less to do everything. I don't expect to win, just wanna show how much I love Clara's music. So glad to be a part of this :D
@p0t4t0ch1p5 I actually had the same mentality. Not expecting to win, but just excited that Clara will be able to watch my video. You don't get that everyday.
It's a shame that the videos are being judged by the view count. Music is something that cannot be measured through numbers or figures. It should be judged and based on your personal experience with the cover, how much you enjoyed it and how much effort was put into it.
@ClaraCMusic Thank you, I'm happy to know that you watch all the videos.The late postings don't always mean though that they had known about the contest earlier and chose to put it off till the last minute. I know someone who learned about it on Xmas day. I'm sure the late hopefuls worked as hard as the entrants who got to post their videos early. I just wish picking the top 10 wasn't based on the number of views. But I still want to believe what u said that true talent will always be seen.<3
can the judges maybe watch the top TWENTY videos instead of ten? You didn't mention that rule in the video so I didn't know about it :[ Please check out my entry... It won't be a complete waste of your time...
i can see why everyone is frustrated with the rules, but think about how clara feels. if i held a contest giving away free stuff and a majority of the people just complained and questioned my morality on what's fair, i would be extra sad face. she's even watching all 150+ entries, even though she's busy touring the world and what not. so let's give her a break and don't let this discourage you from holding more contests in the future, clara!! <3
@hereigoutube I am watching every single video myself but I am not judging. The idea of top 10 video was not to cut corners but its also to reward people who submitted their video early and worked hard in the beginning as well. A lot of the top videos have very few subscribers and I'd like to believe true talent will always be seen =)
@ClaraCMusic Thank you for watching every single video yourself and that would mean A LOT to all those young souls. If the idea was also to reward people who submitted early and worked hard in the beginning, you should have cut the deadline early or announce that certain number of first submitted videos would be automatically judged. Also, you should realize that the top most viewed videos do have RELATIVELY better number of subscribers or viewers than others already.
@ClaraCMusic I also think how Clara C Cover Contest related videos on Youtube keep on showing the most viewed or mostly the same videos on the first page over and over and do not give equal chances for the other videos shown on the last pages which get the least attention or the least number of views. Though it is just my opinion, I still cannot get rid of this SAD feeling that sponsoring companies are using those young people who love Clara C as their marketing tools.
@ClaraCMusic No disrespect intended, but if you wanted to reward those who submitted early, then the contest should have been closed after a short period of time, with a period afterward to see whose submissions then garnered the most views. Leaving the contest open for potential entrants to discover for months, up to the day prior to judging, makes no sense given the judging criteria. This should have been thought through more sensibly.
@AlexNiedt that does kind of make sense... I didn't realize it but if you submit your video near the deadline, you wouldn't have too much time to get views for your video
"7. Entries will be accepted until January 7, 2012. On January 8, 2012 the top 10 most viewed videos will go before the judges and they will determine the top 3 winners. Winner will be announced January 11, 2012!
(please note if your video has 1, 5 or 20 people in it. Only 1 person will be flown out)"
I don't think you could expect a top 10 video after 1 day, so doesn't it make sense to upload earlier?
@kjunhyun I think you missed my point completely. Of course it makes to sense to upload earlier, but a lot of people didn't find out about the contest until it was almost over. I'm not going to re-explain myself. Re-read my post. :)
sigh... we only have approx. 2-3 days to catch up to the thousands of views others already have. although the prizes aren't that important to us, we would very much like to hear the opinions of the judges/others. so PLEASE check out our video (on my channel) of our cover of Offbeat :) thanks YouTube community! good luck to other contestants!
@ClaraCMusic Dear Clara: I hope it's not too much to ask you to spend at least 1 minute on each contestant's entry. Most of them, if not all, put their heart & soul into singing and recreating your beautiful music. They all deserve to be seen & heard by you! Please consider! Signed, Your Newest Fan <3
Bleh, if it's just the top ten most viewed... this is sad. Especially since the people who have the most views may already have internet popularity (aka Tumblr, Facebook, earlier YouTube videos).
Plus, if you look at the US government, popular vote doesn't change who becomes President.
I can't believe so many people complained about the rules =/ I'm just happy she's having the contest haha. Personally, I believe what clara said in the beginning of the contest, where good music will ultimately win out, and the one's with the most views are the one's that have great music. Have you guys looked at the top 10? They're all fantastic and deserve to win. Even though the judges will only view the top 10, I think clara's gonna personally see all of the entries. That's enough for me =)
...Based on the top 10 views. Why? With so many in the judge panel, you still choose to skimp out and indulge your laziness? Of course judging will take time; that's part of the package. If you're going to do a competition, at least avoid cutting corners. I've seen a few impressive videos with nearly no views. Don't just give a 10-15sec look. Listen to all of them, entirely. What about the climax/build-up/etc of the cover? You can't capture everything in 10-15 seconds. Review them all please.
@Clara C, I just want to post concerns I have as an adult (mid 40's). II am not too savvy with Youtube, but I guess it would not hurt you to listen to an elder. If contestants just don't have good number of subscribers of their already popular video channels, they are not given fair chances. These young people might be the biggest fans of you. Please don't break their hearts or give your management or promoting companies bad images using these young people. Review them all please!!!
Clara C should pick not judge who she think the best person and as talented as she is and their character that fits Clara C 's character and both of them should be happy and enjoy each others company. You don't they might become best friends. Look at their hearts , their ingenuity and true talents ....
All of this is self-promotion (now I don't mean that in a bad way). Clara is now a professional musician, meaning she gets paid and goes on tours. The rule of the top 10 most viewed is probably devised by her manager to have all contestants maximize their view count which in turn promotes Clara C through all the sharing the contestants will do in order to reach the top 10. This isn't necessarily the best way to about doing things. Like myintbs said, perhaps the judges should review the top 40.
@flavioffer i totally agree. all your points are legit; it's blunt but it's reality. i think her management should aim for a compromise and look at at least the top 40 videos. top 10 is pretty limited in scope, and there's no guarantee the 10 most viewed covers will even be the best or most deserving.
How is anyone entering late (I just found out about it) supposed to have any chance, regardless of their talent, if it's first judged based on the number of views? The ten people who garner the most views on YouTube could very well be the ten least talented entrants.
Upon observation, I found that there are many talented people who have views that don't necessarily stand against the top 10 most viewed. Clara, although you might have already put up the contest rules, I personally think there should be some changes. The judges should go through every video, (or the top 20, or 40.) The top 10 is too small of a selection for one to judge fairly. I hope you consider tweaking the rules for the greater good.We ALL love you and we dont wanna miss our chance!
just uploaded mine! it's not put on as a vid response yet but if you guys can come check it out on my channel thatd be awesome. best of luck to all of you :) oh, and happy new years
To be fair, I think the judges should look over ALL the video entries instead of the top 10 most viewed videos, because there are established musicians on Youtube who already had a lot of subscribers going into the contest.
Hi Clara =] I hope you and your team have the time to give all the entries even a quick 10-15 second look, just to be sure you're not missing anyone deserving of a chance who just didn't happen to be popular enough to have tons and tons of views. I think many of us would appreciate that a ton =] !
good luck to all that are entering. i admire all this enthusiasm and persistence towards this contest and i thank Clara C for it. though i doubt i would get a chance with all this competition going on while I'm at a disadvantage with views, popularity and probably time too. i sound meek and gutless and maybe i am, but i 100% support all of you. i am truly devastated but to all that have that courage and determination. GOOD LUCK.
Hi, Check out our friend's video on youtube, she entered Clara C's contest... She really really wants to win, and it would be great if you could check it out because she only has a little bit of views :( Just type in Clara C- Cover Contest (June Jeong). It will be the first one listed. Thank you!
Hey everyone :D Hope you guys will check out my video (the only one on my channel haha!)
It would also be nice if you could leave some sort of feedback for future reference... I plan on just jamming and doing more covers with my friends ^_^
hey everyone! hope everyone's christmas/holidays are going well! if you want, check out my cover on my channel. decided to go a different direction with my cover, so if you're interested in some new things, check out mine! thanks!
IMPORTANT QUESTION!-my friend and I are entering under my youtube account, but it says to put MY name, so is it okay that i title the video with my name and say it's my entry, but my friend is the one going to L.A. because we're splitting the price if by any chance we win...or do i title the video" CLARA C - Cover Contest (my name & friends name) and say "this is (my name and friend's name's) entry into the YesStyle.com and 1964 Ears Clara C Cover Contest" ? PLEASE ANSWER BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
@ClaraCMusic Are the votes base on numbers? It should be base on their voice not limited to their creativity , character, personality and confidence and match them with Clara C who should be the wonderful person that would vibe with Clara's personality or maybe they become friends.:)
It's already December Nnnnnnnoooooooo!! Must find time soon, soon, soon! Couldn't manage the meet and greet in Singapore (i went to your concert!) but I'll upload soon!
Judging based on views doesn't do justice to those with real talent.. it's mostly based on popularity (and web views can be pumped up despite having not much talent). I understand views are what your sponsors want but honestly, there's some really outstanding talent that's much more worthy and deserving of consideration toward winning your cover contest.
clara, you accepted the entries until 7 january, but then by 8 you will be counting the top 10, how would that work? i think the last video need some time to get more view counts i guess
I am going to participate...but just for the fun of it..I am such a fan after the Sydney Show!!..you are so awesome!!.can't believe I actually have met Clara C...!!..
Here are the stats as of 12/6: 1. 13,380 views: RoyKimMusic (973 subscribers) 2. 8510 v GZeeProductions (15,017) 3. 7971 v: JuNCurryAhn (7,663) 4. 6069 v: ysmnthelight (2,242) 5. 4999 v: itsRHEELEElife (209) 6. 4916 v: ypmusicable (2,300) 7. 4873 v: UpwardILook (201) 8. 4353 v: josephchungmusic (47) 9. 4231 v: happyspringrolls (9) 10. 4220 v: mskjooo (22) 11. 4206 v: solomonsterlee (48) This just goes to show you dont need tons of subscribers to make the top 10! ...but it definitely helps
I hope judges will watch every single entry and select the top 10 according to their performance. 'Cuz if they based it to number of views, its a bit unfair for those who were not so popular here in youtube :)
@lzh89 nah, even if you are too good, it is not easy to gain lots of views. oh, and also a good quality of camera is a big factor to have lots of views. :)
too bad it's only the top 10 viewed that get judged. it's taking me forever to get everything right for my cover! by the time i submit it, there won't be enough time to get the views. worth a shot though, yes?
damn ...i missed it ...

If contestants just don't have good number of subscribers of their already popular video channels, they are not given fair chances. These young people might be the biggest fans of you. Please don't break their hearts or give your management or promoting companies bad images using these young people. Review them all please!!!

The judging system's all messed up for this contest. Can't believe I thought my video had a chance of making top 10.

Clara C should pick not judge who she think the best person and as talented as she is and their character that fits Clara C 's character and both of them should be happy and enjoy each others company. You don't they might become best friends. Look at their hearts , their ingenuity and true talents ....
seahorse1905 1 month ago
All of this is self-promotion (now I don't mean that in a bad way). Clara is now a professional musician, meaning she gets paid and goes on tours. The rule of the top 10 most viewed is probably devised by her manager to have all contestants maximize their view count which in turn promotes Clara C through all the sharing the contestants will do in order to reach the top 10. This isn't necessarily the best way to about doing things. Like myintbs said, perhaps the judges should review the top 40.

@flavioffer or 20. meet us halfway
flavioffer 1 month ago
@flavioffer i totally agree. all your points are legit; it's blunt but it's reality. i think her management should aim for a compromise and look at at least the top 40 videos. top 10 is pretty limited in scope, and there's no guarantee the 10 most viewed covers will even be the best or most deserving.

How is anyone entering late (I just found out about it) supposed to have any chance, regardless of their talent, if it's first judged based on the number of views? The ten people who garner the most views on YouTube could very well be the ten least talented entrants.
AlexNiedt 1 month ago 5
Upon observation, I found that there are many talented people who have views that don't necessarily stand against the top 10 most viewed. Clara, although you might have already put up the contest rules, I personally think there should be some changes. The judges should go through every video, (or the top 20, or 40.) The top 10 is too small of a selection for one to judge fairly. I hope you consider tweaking the rules for the greater good.We ALL love you and we dont wanna miss our chance!

To be fair, I think the judges should look over ALL the video entries instead of the top 10 most viewed videos, because there are established musicians on Youtube who already had a lot of subscribers going into the contest.

Or show Clara C their videos she can accept feed backs and decide who should be that wonderful person at the end.

Hi Clara =] I hope you and your team have the time to give all the entries even a quick 10-15 second look, just to be sure you're not missing anyone deserving of a chance who just didn't happen to be popular enough to have tons and tons of views. I think many of us would appreciate that a ton =] !

GOOD LUCK.

IMPORTANT QUESTION!-my friend and I are entering under my youtube account, but it says to put MY name, so is it okay that i title the video with my name and say it's my entry, but my friend is the one going to L.A. because we're splitting the price if by any chance we win...or do i title the video" CLARA C - Cover Contest (my name & friends name) and say "this is (my name and friend's name's) entry into the YesStyle.com and 1964 Ears Clara C Cover Contest" ? PLEASE ANSWER BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

@ClaraCMusic Are the votes base on numbers? It should be base on their voice not limited to their creativity , character, personality and confidence and match them with Clara C who should be the wonderful person that would vibe with Clara's personality or maybe they become friends.:)

harisizram 2 months ago 2
Judging based on views doesn't do justice to those with real talent.. it's mostly based on popularity (and web views can be pumped up despite having not much talent). I understand views are what your sponsors want but honestly, there's some really outstanding talent that's much more worthy and deserving of consideration toward winning your cover contest.
One of the best I've seen is @handfullofmoments
Good luck to everyone.
