cB Idol :), Oh yeah, its back! Options

[LoveToMySilas]

Do you love watching American Idol? Do you enjoy singing in the shower or just plain singing in general? Do you find yourself amused by criticizing other people? Do you have nothing better to do? Well, cB Idol may just be for you!

After an unsuccessful try to launch cB idol a couple of months (or was it a year?) back, cB Idol is back from the dead. Here's hoping we'll have more participants.

What we're looking for:

• Contestants: Heck, you don't have to be a good singer to compete! (It wouldn't hurt...) If you wanna show off your voice or just sing for the heck of it. Please post a reply in this thread. :)

Rules
These were from the last round.

How it Works:
This being the preliminary round, members who are interested send in a sample recording. Before the submission deadline has passed, the judges will determine the number of participants for the first official round. Out of the submissions, we will choose the best in order to fill those spots. 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. Backup vocals ARE allowed, but keep it minimal. We want to hear you, not you doubled over again and again and again.
• Submission must be your own and must be something that was not previously posted elsewhere.

Contestants:
Stephinika
The Markster
LoveToMySilas
pandora
taintedangel

Judges:
superstitious
libertie
sparrowdust

Your deadline is: Midnight, March 10th PST.
PM your entries to sparrowdust.

[transcendentalis...]

[foxx]

Can i be a judge? Im a singer myself, so :D?

[stephinika]

I'll give this a shot being a contestant. =p Hehe..I'll try anyways.

[SarahxJoy]

I'll be a contestant and try. I'm not a great singer, but it'll be fun to do I suppose. :)

[iDecay]

Haha, I don't want to judge ever again. :3

Good luck with the contest, though.. *looks at last cB Idol thread*

[Simba]

Haha, I don't want to judge ever again. :3

Let's see this unravel... completely this time. =P

[michellerrific]

I think I'm gonna participate this time! Maybe..

[LoveToMySilas]

Okay, so the rules from the last round is posted! Let's really get the ball rolling this time.

[stephinika]

Erm...for background music, does it all have to be just instrumental? Cause yeh...it can be hard to find music without voices sometimes. =p

[LoveToMySilas]

^ Tell me about it. Thats why I sing acapella. Kareokee niiiiiiiight!

[markmejia]

Kareokee niiiiiiiight!

Did you get that from Hannah Montana? ;x

[LoveToMySilas]

^ Of course not. Alright. I think I should start making that list. Ah yes, we need a man judge! Any takers?

[Smarmosaur]

I WANT TO COMPETE. i shall warn you i'm not the best though...

[CapCaDancer]

Funnnnn. C= I love watching American Idol, I'll definately vote and stuff for cB Idol. Good, fun idea

[Heathasm]

can i be the simon judge? LOL

[superstitious]

iJudge

[LoveToMySilas]

You two aren't men.

[markmejia]

When is our sample recording due?

[fameONE]

What if I'm not singing?

[LoveToMySilas]

^ Is that an "I'm joining"?

Okay, so the people listed to participate are:

Mark
Stephanie
Sarah
Jane

Come on people, lets go! Join in, who cares if we suck?

[pandora]

ME.

[JokeInsideJoke]

i want to be Simon!

[JokeInsideJoke]

can i be the simon judge? LOL

nope i am!!!!!!!!

[LoveToMySilas]

Trish, does that mean you'll be participating?

[pandora]

No, that means I'll be DOMINATING.

[LoveToMySilas]

Oh no, she DI-ANT.

[markmejia]

Do the other contestants get to hear our preliminary / sample recordings? Or is it strictly for the judges?

[JokeInsideJoke]

how many judges are there??

[icecreamisyummy]

aww man i wish i can somehow put my videos on here. too bad i cant i guess ill have to pass.. idk.


but umm a certain someone should consider being a participant.

[DoubleJ]

I may enter. I am going to practice my vocals over next few days, to see if I have a sot.

[libertie]

Joselyn, most people are just doing recordings (to my knowledge) as opposed to videos. You could always do that if videos are too much trouble.

[stephinika]

So just to double check...if we have music with people singing in the background its okay? Cause yeah...I suck at finding good recordings without voices. But yeh, I'd turn it down soft if it had voices, but yeh...so thats okay right? =p

[transcendentalis...]

Your deadline is: Midnight, March 10th PST

i have to talk to dani and rebecca about the backup vocal rules still.

[markmejia]

Do we link our sample recording via PM or post?

Btw. Anyone wanna recommend any file hosting sites? :\

[transcendentalis...]

pm, please!
ksolo.com is a good site for recording/putting online if you're not on a mac.

[markmejia]

Ty. :)

Wait. Who are all the judges?

[transcendentalis...]

me, rebecca, dani

[JokeInsideJoke]

^ i want to be a judge!!!!

[icecreamisyummy]

oh i wasnt gonna put the video... just the recording

[LoveToMySilas]

I may enter. I am going to practice my vocals over next few days, to see if I have a sot.

I say you just do it for the heck of it.

[DoubleJ]

No way lol! I wouldn't be able to stand up to Ruth's critical ear lol!

[Amaranthus]

I'd like to be a part of it.
We have a singing competition at my school, and I'm the main contender (Best of the Worst.)
Now let's just hope that I can find someone to videotape it for me.

[icecreamisyummy]

who's all entering this contest?

and is there only one round or what how does it all work?

[icecreamisyummy]

pm, please!
ksolo.com is a good site for recording/putting online if you're not on a mac.

thats def. not working



oooppsss srry for dp

[stephinika]

Damn KSolo not working on Mac. Kk, recording mine sooon. It can be just anything right?

[LoveToMySilas]

I should get my recording by this weekend.

[Smarmosaur]

i still don't know if i'm going to or not...
it's the embaressment factor. and the fact that my recording will most likely make it more horrible.

[markmejia]

We need more contestants. WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU, PAL. D:

[stephinika]

Wahhh, I'm sick now so it's probably going to be done last minute as knowing how my life works I won't get better for a few days.

[DoubleJ]

I don't think that I am going to be able to do it lol!

[Smarmosaur]

OKOK. i'm doing it.
i have to find a mic, and pick between...like, 10 songs.
i wish we could hear other contestants, just so we know what we're up against.

[libertie]

You guys are scaring me! Hopefully we'll have lots of last-minute entries since we currently have only one. xD

We'll actually post the entries Monday after the deadline (no extension hopefully!) and the results will be posted a few days later once we have a chance to deliberate a bit.

[transcendentalis...]

ACTUALLY WE HAVE 2! w00t
... that'll be a lame contest. i hope you guys have at least started by now. :Z

[LoveToMySilas]

^ I'll get started on it tomorrow, I promise. :X

[libertie]

We know Jane will do it, so at least we can count on having three.

[stephinika]

I promise I will! Hmm...maybe I'll do it tonight since my cold is getting slightly better...

[LoveToMySilas]

After multiple times of trying to blend my voice with the darn k solo backup vocals, I finally got it! *sends to Ruth* Whew.

[LoveToMySilas]

One more day, guys! (...right?) Hurry and get those last minute recordings in!

[xquizit]

Awwww man. I wish I knew about this. I wanna enter.

[LoveToMySilas]

^ They'll probably give you more time anyway because we need more participants.

[carolannexbh]

Ahah I'll enter if I still can.

[stephinika]

I think you guys should, since Ruth is away anyways, you guys should still submit.

[LoveToMySilas]

So, whats going down in Chinatown? Are we still excepting people or are we waiting for Ruth to return?

[libertie]

Give me a bit to discuss with Rebecca what we want to do with this. Everyone else who wants to enter, PLEASE send in your submissions ASAP. If we can get enough entries in the next couple of days we'll most likely continue the competition. If not, we'll have to consider something else. =\

[markmejia]

Betty wants to join.

[xquizit]

i'll try to submit something soon! i can't figure out the sound recorder thing. :(

[superstitious]

PM sent. XD

Please, please, please submit people. (I mean submit songs... eh, you know what I mean).

[xquizit]

Please, please, please submit people. (I mean submit songs... eh, you know what I mean).

Just sent mine in! This will be fun.

[libertie]

Just got your entry, thanks!

Note to those who've sent entries to Ruth (sparrowdust) - she'll be away for some time, so for the time being, please REsend them to me. I wish I knew who all had sent in recordings, but I don't; otherwise I'd send PMs to everyone. Hopefully everyone sees this.

[stephinika]

^^
K, done.

[xquizit]

Aw, I'm anxious to hear everyone's entries.

[libertie]

Good news, I think we have plenty of entries to have a (possibly short, maybe not) contest. I want to wait to make sure everyone who's already sent in an entry (to Ruth) has a chance to get theirs in before we move forward.

[LoveToMySilas]

Yay for a lot of entries! I can't wait to hear them!

[Phil2thejay]

i'll join this. whens the deadline for first round?
wait nvm... its already gone through? =[

[LoveToMySilas]

We haven't gotten a response back yet. (Or have we?) *goes to check* I think it wouldn't hurt to submit one anyway.

[libertie]

i'll join this. whens the deadline for first round?
wait nvm... its already gone through? =[

Please go ahead and send in any last submissions while we go ahead and get this going. We want as many participants as possible.

[Phil2thejay]

i'll get it down asap
=]
EDIT:

[austinoutloud]

[LoveToMySilas]

Ask Ruth or Dani.

[misoshiru]

wow. this still hasn't started?

[austinoutloud]

wow. this still hasn't started?

[carolannexbh]

So I just made a video and I'll upload it now. Is that ok?

[LoveToMySilas]

wow. this still hasn't started?

Hm, I'm wondering the same thing. I'll PM Ruth and see what's up.

[sixfive]

[libertie]

Unfortunately, a lot of the people who were going to participate are no longer active.

I've mentioned a different idea, though, a sort of CBIDOL title match. Since I won the first round, it would be a one-on-one challenger-based competition, and by popular vote people would have the opportunity to try to "steal" the title. That way it's not a "6-round commitment" type thing, it just goes based on who's around to do the actual challenging. What do you guys think?

[stephinika]

Sure, why not? Although I could never beat you. lol but yeh we could give it a shot.

[iDecay]

LOL, if we do that, Dani's gonna be reigning champion 100x.

BUT THAT IS INTERESTING.

[LoveToMySilas]

^ I agree. Give me a year or two to train.

[gelionie]

Awww this got my hopes up of hearing some nice singing.
