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. _smile.gif

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! _smile.gif

Contestants/Submissons

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)

Rules

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. _smile.gif
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).

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

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

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

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

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. _smile.gif


shout- isely brothers.
http://www.ksolo.com/actions/showSongProfi...&uid=344751

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.
br3aker4lyfe
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.
voguelove
"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

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"
Lariat
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.
br3aker4lyfe
Well tell us your opinion on a upbeat song
Lariat
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.

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.
steve330
Violent Pornography is a funny song.

QUOTE(brownsugar @ Jul 9 2007, 11:00 AM) *
That's true, but I don't think there is an vocal representation in that clip I heard. We wouldn't want another Sanjaya either.

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

You could've sang, Chris Brown - Run It

I mean if that's what you really want to submit..shrug.gif I hate to go Simon Cowell on your ass, but you're really not doing that much singing in that clip. You sound like you're talking. "Upbeat" is the theme, but it's a singing competition.

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

what do you mean? is it really hard or something?
voguelove
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.
voguelove
ok, good. no one said anything about it so i thought that no one saw it.

I liked it. victory.gif You sound different this time.


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

honestly, i just couldnt fine my pitch with the melody, so i lsitened to the sample and tried to match it.
AimatmeRam
Guys can do "Hellogoodbye". =] ex:Touchdown turnaround it's very upbeat.
br3aker4lyfe
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 thumbsup.gif 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

Well lets see. Its a rock song which I don't usually sing.
And Like Suzzette said.
QUOTE(brownsugar)
In a slow song you have more time to find that pitch, or say that word.

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? laugh.gif

QUOTE(brownsugar)

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 thumbsup.gif
But everyone is entitled to their own oppinion right?

Yeah there's time, but it seems like the others don't even know there is a round 2.

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