This year, we are doing something different. We are having our own Nippy Music Awards. You are required to record yourself performing a Whitney song (any WH song) and either upload it to a server (i.e. get your own account at Xoom.com or Geocities and put it there) or send an audio cassette with your recording to the Contest Address.

This is not a singing contest so I don't care if you can't carry a tune. If you demonstrate an effort, then you'll probably get -- at the least -- a "Honorable Mention", which will still get you a prize.

Listen to these contest entries with RealAudio Player:

1. Caroline from Sweden: WDBHG with accompaniment. Caroline sings these lyrics like she really means it.

2. Diogo and older sister from Brazil: Folk version of MLIYL. Bob Dylan -- watch out! This folk song can blow you out of hte water!

3. Edak from Georgia, USA: 'Who Would Imagine a King' a cappella. You think she's done, but then she kills you with the adlib run at the end. Vocally stunning!

4. Fernanda from Brazil: DWAHIA on accoustic guitar. Try to listen to this just once... betcha can't!

5. Justin from USA: IEW a cappella. You can't help but sing along with Justin's entousiastic interpretation of this WH classic.

6. Maithri from Australia: 'If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful' a cappella. Beautiful acrobatics! Amazing voice! Leaves you begging for more!

7. Paul from Pittsburg, USA: 'You Were Loved' a cappella. You can tell Paul poured his heart and soul into this one.

8. Trevor from Switzerand: IBIYAM with accompaniment. Trevor proves once again that he should get a record deal.

9. Zeshun from Malaysia: WDBHG a cappella. Wow! Those runs are very 'Whitney' and i love it!
