The challenge is a great idea as long if it has defined and legitimate parameters to resolve the issue in a way accepted by all.


I agree that in order for the challenge to be meaningful we need some agreed upon criteria. And I think covers of old songs by modern artists are poor examples unless completely reworked for modernity (whatever that is.) My point is Ed Sheeran covering a classic with a timeless production shouldn't be our standard. Can we pin down what "modern" means?
