Over on his Twitter account, Daniel Ingram recently sent out a challenge to the music community that pits them against the "Becoming Popular" song from two weeks ago. All they had to do was record themselves singing. As is the norm for the fandom, everyone jumped on it.
After the break, you will find a couple of the entries that people created. Now someone needs to splice them all together!
This was fun. I was happy to be the one to bring it to the attention of Mic the Microphone. I've never seen him get so excited so fast and go to work with such burning lust to impress.
I put the vote on Bejoty, loved the key change and the guitar playing, great job :)
Other versions were awesome too, Mic's rapping is staller as always! And Tesshissa's version pretty amusing, liked the video editing you applied there, hehe
@Bombedrumbum Yeaaaah, I've had to duck out on a lot of the music posts.. for quite a long while. There are just so many! I'm glad I finally got the introduction though. Such a voice!
And for the rest of you, ahhhhh you're too kind! Thanks~ ^^;
Some great entries in here. I don't think I could choose a favorite honestly. Though I did like Bejoy's, Mando's and Memjo's a lot.
I didn't even know about this event. If I had a better mic and had known I might have given it a shot too. Maybe while playing the violin or something, I dunno. lol
Gah! Um, uh....um, oh....I....Bejoty? No, Mic! Tomb's was really cool, too. And Miu's was really pretty. I can't....they're all...aaaah! *plays them all at once* I have created harmonoh god what have I done?
@Mic The Microphone My heart is going so fast right now. Mic the microphone.....oh my goodness. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me, ever! I'm speechless.
I've got the sneaking suspicion Ingram's trolling us. Of all the song in all the episodes so far or in the upcoming few weeks, why do you suppose he chose this one? I'll bet he just wanted to get a bunch of guys to sing "I'm the belle of the ball" XD
@Solar Phoenix Well, from a technical standpoint, it's the song that translates the best to a live cover. The pop style and simplistic chord progression make it easy to play on any instrument, and the melody fits nicely in a restricted register for singing.
Then again, I'm sure he got a kick out of us singing those lyrics. =D
Fuckin' Twitter, I didn't even hear about this, I would've loved to actually have a reason behind a Bronymike Cover and to actually get it on EqD. If I knew about this I would've done it instead of something else this week. I haven't had time for singing much due to a ton of school shit. Augh.
So much awesome *_*. First it's nice to have a face on all those names we've seen throughout the months. But it also shows how much of the musical spectrum the brony community has covered. You guys all rock!!!!!
I didn't really like the original song, but I'm gonna listen every single one of those!
@Bejoty Daniel Ingram stated that Becoming Popular is in E flat major (Chords: Ab(sus2) Cm7 Bb Eb, Ab(sus2) Cm7 Bb/D...), but what key did you sing it in? It's much easier for me to sing in the key you used.
MiuMiu, Bejoty, The Living Tombstone... Too much awesome! I can't pick one. Just when I thought I knew which I liked best, I listen again to another... You all rock.
MY review. Mic- Dislike. Bojoty- Very good. Living Tombstone- Couldn't listen past 33 seconds. Tesshissa- alright Miu Miu- unfinished Mando- Excellent. My favorite one here. MEMJ0123- unfinished Fuzzlekins- unfinished
Wow guys, I'm really flattered by the amazing remarks, thank you so much! It's funny, going back and listening to it again, I feel like I could have done a much better job. XD I had just woken up like 15 minutes before I sang it, and I quickly worked out the chords for the mandolin in that same time-span. But still, I'm glad for the positive response by everyone, including Mr. Ingram!
Of course EVERYPONY IS BEST PONY and also awesome for being musical and amazing. So there!! :D BRONIES ROCK. IT IS CANON.
@Josh Spicer It's just not his style of music, more than likely. Some people have a very narrow pallet when it comes to music, and as such when they hear something they're not accustomed to, they usually dislike it because it's just not what they're used to or it's just not their style of music.
In any case, he's entitled to his opinion and doesn't really need to explain. Everyone's got their own taste in media~
@frith I moved it down to G major, at first because I lost my capo last week, but I like the sound of it better with my voice now. I also took a few liberties with the chords to fit the picking idea I had, though the general idea is there.
@Bejoty G major, got it, thanks! I find it much easier to sing and add a little vibrato in that key. The Living Tombstone's version is a lot of fun to sing along with too. ^_^

I made one too! I put it up on soundcloud, though. :3

Mic, Miu, Tombstone... so much awesome in one place.
awesome i saw Tombstone's before it got posted here
This was fun. I was happy to be the one to bring it to the attention of Mic the Microphone. I've never seen him get so excited so fast and go to work with such burning lust to impress.
My heart just skipped a beat. YOU GUYS ARE ALL SO TALENTED. I swear, my heart has never been so full of love.
well,,, im not sure how to take this...
so ill do what i always, and eat some ice cream while looking at fanart
I think I'll just avoid this like the plague. Though Tombstone's is pretty cool. I just didn't like the original hellspawn of a song at all.
My vote is for MEMJ0123.
Woah! And there I am! Cool post, I gotta give these all a listen :D
Whoa, Mando, how come I hadn't heard of you sooner?!
I gotta represent Bejoty... I actually went to school with him, and I was pleasantly surprised when he made it onto my iPod.
Wow, so many singing bronies!
I love the one from Bejoty, I saw this a couple days ago by chance and immediately asked for a download before he had the link up
This was undoubtedly a ploy to just get a bunch of men to sing about being a popular girl.
And damn did it turn out awesome. I'm cringing, laughing, and hella impressed at the same time.
What the hell guys. Why you so awesome.
@MandoPony
Cheater!
You changed the lyrics to use male pronouns!
How dare you.
Oh boy XD
Is it still going on? T__T
is it just me or does mic the microphone sound a bit like bo burnham in the intro... Just me? okay, maybe I'm just crazy haha
I vote for Tesshissa
Seriously, I wanna try this thing. Is the competition still up?
@bejoty he's been featured here on EqD many times.......especially for the 80 million celebration......
@Bombedrumbum it wasn't so much a competition as it was a challenge. Daniel Ingram tweeted it after the show aired last week.
here's the tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/BejotyGames/status/143558503179628544
Everyone put out some awesome work, but Bejoty hit it out of the park with his acoustic rendition.
Memos voice is Rarity nuff said
girls like ponies?
everyone be they male,female,dragonborn,orc,elf,cat creature(forgot skyrim race name)or alien like ponies
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
I put the vote on Bejoty, loved the key change and the guitar playing, great job :)
Other versions were awesome too, Mic's rapping is staller as always! And Tesshissa's version pretty amusing, liked the video editing you applied there, hehe
I think Mic wins this one.
@Bombedrumbum
Yeaaaah, I've had to duck out on a lot of the music posts.. for quite a long while. There are just so many! I'm glad I finally got the introduction though. Such a voice!
And for the rest of you, ahhhhh you're too kind! Thanks~ ^^;
@Bejoty so are you, lol
My favorites go without saying. Mic and Mando, I Love You.
NOW IF ONLY MAKKON COULD SING.......
There's just so much talent in this community, it's great! I wish I could sing, I would have done this too.
I must say Bejoty, Tesshissa, Mando, and MEMJ0123 were my personal standouts, but everyone did wonderfully
Derp.
Everyone can sing, just not everyone can sing as well as others. But then again, what judges a good voice?
The Living Tombstone has watched my video. I can die happy now! *faints*
@Tesshissa along with many other people :D
@Bombedrumbum This is so crazy!!!!
omc, crazy diffrence when Mic the microphone is singing normaly and rapping oO
@Tesshissa
Twas a good video, my dear.
Some great entries in here. I don't think I could choose a favorite honestly. Though I did like Bejoy's, Mando's and Memjo's a lot.
I didn't even know about this event. If I had a better mic and had known I might have given it a shot too. Maybe while playing the violin or something, I dunno. lol
@Tesshissa Everypony in this town, my dear, everypony in this town.....
Gah! Um, uh....um, oh....I....Bejoty? No, Mic! Tomb's was really cool, too. And Miu's was really pretty. I can't....they're all...aaaah! *plays them all at once* I have created harmonoh god what have I done?
@Pyrobug Chaos, that's what
Goddamn, ya guys are all awesome!
Man, dunno if I should give this a try. More like if I even CAN.
What about mine? (>;_;)>
@Mic The Microphone My heart is going so fast right now. Mic the microphone.....oh my goodness. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me, ever! I'm speechless.
i made it too. and tweeted to Ingram. http://soundcloud.com/mcqwert/cover-becoming-popular :U
I've got the sneaking suspicion Ingram's trolling us. Of all the song in all the episodes so far or in the upcoming few weeks, why do you suppose he chose this one?
I'll bet he just wanted to get a bunch of guys to sing "I'm the belle of the ball" XD
DAMN! Mic the Microphone!
Mic the Mic gets my vote.
Got tough to choose for a bit, but then I re-listened to his and felt it just worked that much better.
@Solar Phoenix
Well, from a technical standpoint, it's the song that translates the best to a live cover. The pop style and simplistic chord progression make it easy to play on any instrument, and the melody fits nicely in a restricted register for singing.

lovin Mic and Tombstone as usual...you guys are awesome.
MEMJ0123 has a great voice great job there too you were exellent hitting those notes so perfectly
SHIT
IM LATE
god damnit, finished the recording last night, but didnt get to upload it...
well whatever...
*le sigh*
Fuckin' Twitter, I didn't even hear about this, I would've loved to actually have a reason behind a Bronymike Cover and to actually get it on EqD. If I knew about this I would've done it instead of something else this week. I haven't had time for singing much due to a ton of school shit. Augh.
Haha, Mando is the only one who says "boy" instead of "girl" x)
@B34r
I AM PRETTIEST LITTLE GIRL ON MY BLOCK AND I AM DAMN PROUD OF THAT.
Bejoty is the John Mayer of bronies. That's a fact and a damn fine one!
So much awesome *_*. First it's nice to have a face on all those names we've seen throughout the months. But it also shows how much of the musical spectrum the brony community has covered. You guys all rock!!!!!
I didn't really like the original song, but I'm gonna listen every single one of those!
Oh, and ... you're ALL the type of pony everypont should know :3
I am proud to be a part of this awesomely talented fandom and I can't wait to hear the final cut with everypony together!
Mandopony's cover was sick!
Bejoty's is my favorite. <3 So much awesome! Love this song, only too happy to have covers of it to add to my pony music collection.
Oh, those were all awesome! Really loved them all and proud to be here.
@GHXpert59
Same goes for yours as well :). Was really well done I thought.
I LOVE these!
@Bejoty Daniel Ingram stated that Becoming Popular is in E flat major (Chords: Ab(sus2) Cm7 Bb Eb, Ab(sus2) Cm7 Bb/D...), but what key did you sing it in? It's much easier for me to sing in the key you used.
i'm afraid to make a cover because of my voice, also i have a cold
MiuMiu, Bejoty, The Living Tombstone... Too much awesome! I can't pick one. Just when I thought I knew which I liked best, I listen again to another... You all rock.
MY review.
Mic- Dislike.
Bojoty- Very good.
Living Tombstone- Couldn't listen past 33 seconds.
Tesshissa- alright
Miu Miu- unfinished
Mando- Excellent. My favorite one here.
MEMJ0123- unfinished

MandoPony is Best Pony!

I'll just go over here now.
Wow guys, I'm really flattered by the amazing remarks, thank you so much! It's funny, going back and listening to it again, I feel like I could have done a much better job.

Awesome job everypony, I enjoyed listening to them all. You guys rock, this fandom rocks. Don't stop improving!
Wow! Great job all around! The next to last one (Memjo123) sounds a lot like Rarity. Very impressed by all you musically-gifted bronies =)
@Skylark Torch
Wow...that's pretty harsh bro.
Mind tellin me what you didn't like about the ones you didn't like or didn't finish?
Cause that's kinda unfair that didn't finish them compared to others.
@Josh Spicer

I personally liked Living Tombstone's and Mic the Mic's best.
And yeah. Someone mix all of these. That just sounds awesome.
Mic the microphone sings and podcasts good! :D
@MandoPony
What?! That's what your voice sounds like right after waking up?? You have amazing control, and I'd love to hear it again at full strength!
Brohoof to ALL the singers ! You guys make me proud to call my elf a brony (salute)
Lmao my elf !? myself# !?
@frith
I moved it down to G major, at first because I lost my capo last week, but I like the sound of it better with my voice now. I also took a few liberties with the chords to fit the picking idea I had, though the general idea is there.
Alright. I'll see if I can give this a try. I'm a lazy fucktard and I need to do something.
Bejoty was pretty awesome :3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1bTiTwz1f4
My version :D It's my first cover and I don't have that great of a mic.
Where ya guys getting that background--- nope, found it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1CvR9E_znM
Crap, No! I have no idea what I'm doing!
Those were pretty fun to watch. Some of them sounded a little out of rhythm with the song. But good singing, everypony!
I just find it amusing seeing guys singing the line "The girl on the go."
@Bejoty G major, got it, thanks! I find it much easier to sing and add a little vibrato in that key. The Living Tombstone's version is a lot of fun to sing along with too. ^_^
Not sure wether this would count or not
