[Cjruckus]

look @ pop rock Laughing it was ALL a ploy to make money. bands had to "conform" to certain "rules" ? wtf that was no concert it was a bloddy competition how sad is that? now i never said they claimed for it to be a concert but they did try oh so hard to make it seem so... it was the biggest local "rock" show, so ancorage saw ppl as far pt fortin to toco to witness this fcukery...

sadly enough many naive bands conformed to "competing" as they thought it was a way to making it somewhere... i remember all to clearly the BS they gave the MC's to say at every ancorage finals, always something to the effect "that there are many producers in the crowd here tonight" #Rofl

You've never actually competed, have you?

Pop Music Awards while yes, it WAS a money-making scheme (c'mon, u think anyone does that only for the love of it?) was actually intended to help bands as well. Not for those reasons you stated, but in terms of prizes.
The prizes in those days were recording packages, the full packages, so that bands would have an opportunity to produce their own music of a decent quality (which was, and still is VERY expensive).

The judging criteria had to be covers simply because of the judges. Nobody was willing to sit through (potentially painful) compositions and judge artistically what these bands created. This wasn't "Trinidadian Idol", it was a covers competition with rules. U had to chose covers to highlight your bands skill, versatility, performance and on-stage presence. Fin.

Sadly, certain bands capitalized on it and kept winning repeatedly and thus becoming "famous" for it. The standard was poor in those days eh, remember that, so while they weren't the greatest, they were better than the competition (and well, there was politics aside but thas another story).

Bands weren't "naive" for conforming to the rules of a covers competition to try and win a recording package to get their own original music out, that's like calling people naive for conforming to rules and a job to make money to pay the rent. C'mon man, grow up a little.

BTW, yes there were producers in the audience...maybe not "many" but good producers no less.
