Yes, it covers both time slots. You have to be there for both to compete.

Those power ballads go on forever.

You certainly can... but if everyone else is singing about romantic love, expect a whooooole lot of misunderstandings to come about as a result.

EDIT: question retracted.

Mostly cause I can't be bothered to check the other songs posted to make sure that this one hasn't been posted yet.

If the character fails this roll, the subject of their song also gains +.1 Infamy for every failed Raise the character made. If the subject was recently involved in a scandalous rumor with the character (regardless of its veracity), both characters also lose Honor as if they had committed a Minor Breach of Etiquette.


Is the honour loss also only if raises are called?

Edited to add song
