First and foremost, thank you thank you thank you to all of you who took a risk, took your time and took the stage to make imaginative and seriously impressive covers of the songs from Van Lear Rose. We have had a lot of fun watching each of your original takes on these songs that we've come to know and love so much. After seeing you guys pour yourselves into these covers, dare we say we love them even more now? I think so!
Without further ado, the winner is...
Melanie V.! For her thoughtful and excellently executed cover of "Trouble on the Line"! Melanie, you will be sent the production print of the photos from Vault package #24 today. Look for a shipment to arrive to you shortly! As promised, Melanie's video is posted below for all to check out --
Great job, Melanie. We also would be remiss to ignore these honorable mentions:
Federico G. of Italy for his cover of "This Old House"
Mouhammed B. for his live public performance cover of "Miss Being Mrs."
Kate P. for her whistling solo cover of "Miss Being Mrs."
To see these honorable mentions and more, you can search "Third Man Vault Contest" on YouTube with the tags "Loretta Lynn" and "Van Lear Rose." Thanks again y'all! Expect to see updates about your shipments soon soon.
Yes.My video had all the requirements as well from the very beginning before sending link to TMR. Even a few extra tags. I was able to find ALL the participants videos by simply searching in YouTube "Third Man Vault Contest ". And Melanie is correct about seeing tags. You can also find my link in this thread. Thanks again everyone.
Hi @Alabama_Leigh I’m not sure who you’re referring to as my video has had all required tags since the moment it was uploaded. As for the other honorable mentions, I can’t speak for them as tags aren’t visible except to the channel owner, unless you painstakingly search through each webpage’s source coding. But I would trust that they had their tags as well since I had no problem finding these videos on youtube when I searched for other Vault contest entries prior to them even announcing the winner. You may want to check your youtube search settings if you’re having an issue finding them, also try sorting by recently uploaded. Hope this helps! Thanks again everyone! :)
Just so I am perfectly clear, this WAS a fun contest, and I am happy for Melanie, as I said. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
My issue lies with the fact that other people agreed with me privately about the rule violations, then when they get in here, it’s all sunshine and roses and “let’s not speak up about anything at TMR, we might not get the cool roulette prize or Jack might not answer my Vault question” or something to that effect. That level of arse-kissing makes me sad. We should be able to speak our minds without fear of some strange private retribution we know nothing about. Isn’t that a quality we all admire in the founder of this company? His awesome outspokenness?
I loved this contest, I LOVE Loretta Lynn, and I will still spend my hard-earned money here, but this complete fear people have of being able to express themselves at TMR is odd, to say the very, very least.
My sincere congratulations to everyone who participated.
Congratulations to anyone in this Vault who isn’t afraid of the seemingly (to others) people behind the curtain. I prefer to think of any human as another human, and I would hope my character garners the same consideration. I don’t think it’s out of line or disrespectful to speak my mind in an honourable manner, because I know how much I respect Loretta Lynn and Jack White. The people I do not respect are the ones who wrote to me, saying they were upset, but get in here and are literally afraid of being censored in a forum we pay for. Why the fear? It confuses me to no end.
Anybaloney, congrats, although no one will believe me.
Good night and God bless!
Adorable as always Melanie!
Heck yeah!
congrats Melanie and honorable mentions :) fun contest Third Man!
Congrats to all who entered!!
I’m proud I’m the only one who incorporated beat boxing into mine :-)
