[ParanoidAndroid]

I'm really sorry for this confusion. But I had Mark PM me his submission as a last chance. If you guys want to hear it, I'll put it in:

http://media.putfile.com/Record-Take-73

About the eliminated participants, J'annelle failed to submit her entry. I already PMed her about it and there was no choice. Jane was also eliminated. I'm really sorry guys. Y'all put up a fight.

DOWN TO OUR TOP 3! This round's theme would be A capella. Particpants must sing songs following the descriptions listed as a capella.

Rules:

• One submission per person, per round.
• Submissions should be at least 1 minute long.
• No major editing of the voice recording.
• Please, use only your own voice. No background vocals or harmonizing.
• No lip synching.
• In future rounds, you will not be able to use a recording you used in a past round.
• If you didn't try out a few weeks earlier in the preliminaries, you are not allowed to participate. I've been getting PMs of people submitting entries that didn't even try out in the preliminaries, and I'm sorry but it's way too late.

Current Participants

1. Libertie (Dani) - When I Saw You by Mariah Carey
2. Mr.Slowjamz (Mark) -
3. KissMe2408 (Katie) - Long as I'm Here With You from Thoroughly Modern Mille

[Mr. Slowjamz]

you gotta BE Kidding im supposed to be out, OUT ....lol

but umm i`ve been singing acapella for all of my rounds ...i think you should explain about singing acapella a little bit more ...you can sing acapella for any song .

[*My Cinderella.*]

Aww shucks. It was fun while it lasted. Good luck, everyone!

[KissMe2408]

Nice entry Mark, from Guys & Dolls I think....


Wow, I'm still in this! 0.o Thanks lol, that's pretty cool

Though I don't feel worthy enough against Mark and Dani, but hey I'll give it a shot haha.

Um, Acapella round? Interesting...So basically any song we want, just without any music? Are there any other limatations besides that?

No, there aren't. Just.. no music at all. And no rapping.

[KissMe2408]

Okay sounds good =)


Hey, Dani, Mark, and I should all do a mix.
"A Step Too Far."

It'd be perfect.

Jackie, back me up on this one.

[*Libertie*]

^Definitely, that would be awesome.

And Tina, you've disappointed me.. I REALLY wanted to rap.

But seriously.. This is gonna be tough, there are a million songs I could choose for this..

well they're gospel-ish. And the songs you sang aren't a capella. You sang them in a capella style but originally they had music at the bg... didn't they?

Anyways as for what Tina said. It's partly accurate. If you read definition # 2 it says kind of like chapel music and such and such... I mean if the genre was just sing with no instruments at the background, might as well sing twinkle twinkle

YOU HAVE TO RAP FOR ME ON THE PHONE.

But.. it's.. still the same thing.

[ParanoidAndroid]

^no some people confused it with any song that's not sang with music in the bg

[KissMe2408]

wait....so it has to be a hymnal type song.....?
churchy feel basically?


do I know any songs like that?

I guess like Ave Maria or something.
More classical style. And by classical I mean, like Italian and things.
something Charlotte Church would sing or Josh Groban on his good days?

[ParanoidAndroid]

^yeah. Anything with a church-feeling. If you ABSOLUTELY can't find anything, I guess I'll count any song sang without bg music... but we would please want all of you to sing under the category.

[Gypsy Eyes]

A lot of jazz is done a cappella as well

[*Libertie*]

I think I might do something by Charlotte Church (not by her really, just something she did) actually, but I'm still surverying my options.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

so basically "Choral Music" Choir Music with background voices ? but i thought we couldnt add in bg voices ...if you meant background voices regarding the original songs , and you want us to change and sing with our own voices we can do that .

im still confused on you guys want wanting to sing Acapella . because basically you can sing Acapella for any genre ...or you shoudlve stated a different term . but you what would be more fun and thrilling giving us individual specific songs to sing . your pic for each and one of us . EACH judge = )

[ParanoidAndroid]

^church-like but no bg voices... who said there should be? you know how some church/chapel songs have a large range? sometihng like that. or you can just sing the soloist part without the harmony

[Mr. Slowjamz]

^church-like but no bg voices... who said there should be? you know how some church/chapel songs have a large range? sometihng like that. or you can just sing the soloist part without the harmony

ooooo so you want us to improvise and do like melismas riffs and scales ? ....lol thats difficult ..i`d say dani won already .

[KissMe2408]

ooooo so you want us to improvise and do like melismas riffs and scales ? ....lol thats difficult ..i`d say dani won already .

haha agreed on that one.

You should pick a song for us, haha.
I like that idea, that would be thrilling.





meh....this is harder then i thought. no idea what to sing..

[starlette]

I'm really pissed off that I'm not in this

But good luck to everyone else

umm... a capella literally means "like in the chapel" but that doesnt actually mean sing church music. it means sing like they do; which is without accompaniment.

if you want them to sing church music then just say gospel music. jesus.


i was in the a capella choir in highschool and we sang shit like Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, and Christina Aguilera....

suffice to say, that's not gospel music.

the only actual similarity between a capella and real chapel music is that they sing without accompaniment; instead using their voices to replace instrumentals.

yah true. I heard an acapella group sing Bohemian rhapsody, it was so great. loved it.
i also heard them sing "aint no mountain high enough." and "stand by me"...


But i'm still confused now......

can we do whatever we want acapella?
or does it have to be classic italian pieces bascially?
or are you thinking gospel?
or are you picking songs for us?

gah

[Mr. Slowjamz]

Judges make it quick because you guys wouldnt want eternal spammage of questions during the next few days . lol .
