BLOG IDOL 2011 : ROUND 1

After the long wait, Blog Idol Season 4 official game starts today! The game has a total of 8 rounds. It's one round per week. And for our first week, we'll be hitting songs from the 80s. This decade saw the emergence of pop music, as well as various forms of rock music, such as new wave, soft rock, and glam metal. The 1980s are commonly associated with the use of synthesizers, and was the introduction of sampling and hip hop/rap.
Are you ready now? Here are the entries from our Top 12 Blog Idol Participants.
