Sorry everyone for the really long delay. But don't mind that, we're back with a new round! We had to eliminate two people to get it down to 10. We decided on (ai + you)and Linda (dreamerOi) Better luck next time, girls! We also decided that we just can't do comments this early in the competition, but we will soon.

Usually, when contestants send in their entries for cB Idol, they do pretty slow ballads. But this time, we don't want that. We want upbeat songs with fast tempos. Good luck, everyone!


1. Maggie (voguelove) - Isley Brothers - Shout
2. Jane (Moderator) - Aly and AJ - The Potential Breakup Song
3. br34ker4lyfe- My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay
4. Anastasia (a beautiful nothing)
5. Danielle (danifbble) http://media.putfile.com/withyou-29
6. Kim (Days Nearly Over)
7. Jelyn (juh-leen )
8. Aimee (stolen) http://media.putfile.com/Misery-Business-sang-by-me
9. Gemulon
10. Alysa (alysaphobia)


How it Works:

• Contestants either post their entries in the thread.
• Each round, based on community feedback and judges' opinions, a participant will be eliminated from the competition until only one is left, our CB Idol.

Submission Guidelines:

• Each submission should be at least 30 seconds long.
• Use only your own voice - no background vocals or harmony.
• Background music is allowed and recommended. If you don't know where to get accompaniment tracks for your songs, I suggest searching for a midi file - these can be easily found and are usually free.
• Submission must be your own and must be something that was not previously posted elsewhere.

While we're still just starting CBI2, any suggestions (themes, judging, or otherwise) can be sent to Arjuna Capulong, tininja, or brownsugar The deadline is July 23.

thanks, cassie!

a quick question..can we use k solo? they sometimes have "backround singers," but for the first round, someone recommended it to the contestants (and also 1 or 2 used it).

rofl you don't have to keep my link in xD

Congrats to you ten who've made it, good luck!

But Dani, I wanted to.

Yes!

Is cB Idol like American Idol where members get to vote for who they want to win?

WOOOOOO
I go first. Confidence right?

hey, good job. i thought the ending got kinda off tune, but that's okay.

and your words at the end about your voice hurting: im guessing you mean your vocal chords? maybe youre stretching it too much.

yeah, i mean to say throat. for humor =P it didnt really hurt
hahaha

I know exactly what I'm gonna do.

me, too! ill probably do something from grease. maybe an oldies instead.

i'm in a governor's school program so i won't be able to record til i get home, which is july 28.. will that be too late to record ?

i wish i'd entered.
but good luck to everyone!

eh. I tried let's just say.
Wake up by Hillary Duff sang by me

Editt:// I need to try again.

i like that song! it's fun to dance to.
good job on it!

It's good but you sounded like you sang through of your nose.
Other than that I like it =] It sounded like you struggled in the last part of the song. You should've just sang your strongest part of the song that you could've sang. Are contestants even allowed to comment other contestants? O.O

"And it begining when you said stolen it sounded like you said stoned"

^ROFL HAHAHA I LOVE IT HAHA.

Holy crap this will be hard..

AGREED! its hard to find a fast song that showcases your vocals.

okay, well.. i recorded a new song!
hopefully, it's fast enough? if the judges dont think so, i can find another one.


shout- isely brothers.

ps- it's only the first 40 ish seconds. ksolo doesnt allow you to upload the song unless the entire thing is recorded..so i put my mic on mute after that.

K heres my re entry.
System of a Down - Violent Pornography
My intro is just me talking about what Im singing. about 30 seconds then a minute of me... talking/singing the song fast.

"whats up cb? my first song got deenied." "it's got a lot of swears..but it's an upbeat song..!!!" haha, i love it. i like your intro. a lot.

yea, i agree with what you said..its kinda mumbled. especially your "everybodys." but thats okay.
good job on it!

If you re record this song.. over 10+ times, the word "everybody" just because your saying it so fast, it starts to die out... but thanks =P

QUOTE(brownsugar @ Jul 7 2007, 07:20 PM)

We are asking you to step out of your comfort zone.

Yeah. I did that. I had to sing really fast, to top it off sing weird lyrics. I tried atleast. Something different than my usual. "I can't breathe *gasp* I can't breathe"

hahaha i would love to see someone try and do "The Potential Breakup Song" by Aly&Aj.

A lot of the recordings on here arn't very upbeat, IMO.

Well tell us your opinion on a upbeat song

Hm, I gave a suggestion. I think that would be an upbeat song. Hillary Duff, Aly&AJ, Cheetah Girls, kelly clarkson. Sorry I don't know many males that sing upbeat.

That TOTALLY made my day.

Choking chicks and sodomy! You've got moxie, kid.

^ Well, sometimes that does work though. Think of Blake from the last American Idol. His choices and performances were not always a standout vocal representation but he was always entertaining and experimental; something I know that I personally appreciated.

Violent Pornography is a funny song.

True... speaking of, if people want ideas, No Doubt has some pretty upbeat songs.

Suzzette.
My song i originally sang was clearly more upbeat than Run It.

what do you mean? is it really hard or something?

i thought that, too. i guess when they go high. thats kinda hard to keep going up and down.

i tried and my voice started to hurt.

i dont know if anyone saw my entry in the last page?
i submitted mine.

ok, good. no one said anything about it so i thought that no one saw it.

QUOTE(brownsugar @ Jul 9 2007, 10:50 AM)

I liked it. You sound different this time.

yea, i know. my voice was a lot lower.

honestly, i just couldnt fine my pitch with the melody, so i lsitened to the sample and tried to match it.

Guys can do "Hellogoodbye". =] ex:Touchdown turnaround it's very upbeat.

OKAY THIS IS THE FINAL ENTRY SERIOUSLY LOL
I dont really care anymore. My voice is like really bad/raspy .. eh in this one. Effects of trying to sing/find a song the past 3 days. I don't ,I like this song though I tried singing the song instead of yelling the song in the actual song.
My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay
I was to lazy to say edit it and say round 1. So i'll keep it as round 2 =D



WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE THE ONE THAT LIES CLOSE TO ME
WHISPERS HELLO, IVE MISSED YOU QUITE TERRIBLY
I FELL IN LOVE, IN WITH YOU SUDDENLY
NOW THERES NO PLACE I CAN BE BUT HERE IN YOUR ARMSSSSSSSSSS\

WAIT, WRONG SONG LOL

TOUCHDOWN TURNAROUND I NEVER SEE YOU AROUND
ANYWHEREANYMORE YOU ARE WHAT IM LOOKING FOR
TOUCHDOWN TURNAROUND EVERYTHING IS SAFE AND SOUND!
EVERYWHERE AND EVERYTIME I AM YOURS AND YOU ARE MINE!!!!

br3aker4lyfe please stop. Hahaha. Hahahahahahahaha. ROFLLLLLL!! There's no way you're going to win. Hahahaha.

try to be nice.

Well lets see. Its a rock song which I don't usually sing.
And Like Suzzette said.

If you heard me sing slower songs. You'd change your mind atleast think that theres competition including me. Not to say Im gonna win, but my voice is stronger on slower tempo songs.Isn't the majority of people vocally better on slower tempo songs anyways?


Like she requested. Thats what I'm doing.
I'm not... accomplishing that request very well but I'm trying.

Atleast I have the courage to join the competition against all these
stronger female singers
But everyone is entitled to their own oppinion right?

"Our deadline date is still pending."

So there still time?

Or they are on vacation =O

Now that i think of it, from all the comments made to the other contestants. I'll have to rethink my song.

br3aker4lyfe WTF? You put my post on your signature? Are you that sensitive. Strive better for life? WTF? It's an ONLINE idol.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I was honestly going to apologize till I saw your signature. Hahahahaha.

EDIT// The song in your signature is waaayyyyy better! Man, did I make you do that? It's wayyy better!

Second try =P

Paramore- Misery business

^ haha, stoned..love it.
aw, are you sick? i heard a sniffle here and there.


anyways, good job on your second recording. i think it's the best one you've done yet! i heard some vibrato in there. good job.

^ yeah I do have a runny nose haha. thanks I didn't know it was called vibrato lol.
