Cb Idol Round 2: Classics Options

[ParanoidAndroid]

We decided to eliminate Aubrey and Jane Doe. I'm really sorry guys. It was a tough decision (thus the delayed judging).

The theme is Classics. Constestants will sing any song from a famous band/artist from the 30's to 1990. The entries should be posted here, same rules apply. The deadline will be September 13.

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.

2. starlette (J'anelle) - The Dance by Garth Brooks, 1989

[*mona lisa*]

Topic pinned.

The last round went well and the entries were awesome. Great theme!

[Serendipity]

Can't wait to hear all the songs! (;

[jue]

Awesome! I can't wait

[iDecay]

Yo, someone forgot a period at the end of my username.

[starlette]

Okay I'm allabout classics but why 60s? Why not the 50s too? There were some classic bands and songs from the 50s as well.

[*digital.fragrance*]

^ I agree - the 50s were a great decade

[*This Confession*]

yea, Who are the judges for these things?
I remember they use to be listed but not anymore..

[ParanoidAndroid]

Like I said, J'annelle. Could've PMed me about it. We chose 60's to make it more modern, but I guess there is no problem to go back to the 50's. Heck I'll make it to the 30's.

[starlette]

Oh I'm sorry...I was just thinking it and I thought I would ask.

[*Libertie*]

^Yeah, she's Yen. I didn't see this until just now, but gosh. I'm glad this is up.

Now to pick a song..

[*Libertie*]

^Yeah, accompaniment music is fine.

[iDecay]

yea, Who are the judges for these things?
I remember they use to be listed but not anymore..

Any questions or complaints, PM me, Tina (tic tac.), or Arjuna Capulong. Oh and please pin this thank you.

Summer Rain..are you Yen?

I know Dani confirmed this, but yeah 'tis me. I just changed the name of my first account.

[starlette]

Umm..I'm gonna need an extension. I just found out we can't pay rent and that I have to move into a smaller apt next week. And I'm gonna be out of town this whole weekend. Things are NOT going well.

[ParanoidAndroid]

^no problem. I'll try to do it on September 13.

[*I Shot JFK*]

^ or, you should have not informed your parents...

[glorwen]

Here's mine!! ^__^

Just a warning, there's a lot of silent parts, because I took out the background music. Darn them background singers.

Mamma Mia- ABBA

[*xcaitlinx*]

^ you have a beautiful voice.

[*Libertie*]

Okay, I think I'm gonna go ahead and post this..

Journey - Open Arms

Absolute favorite song ever. I actually recorded this one on the computer, so it's not quite as bad as when I was recording on the cell phone.. Still not great, but I was able to at least get something to accompany myself.

[starlette]

Dani, you really have an incredible voice. I really mean that. And it really PISSES me off that skanks like Ciara and Cassie are making the big bucks and their voices suck ass!

Oh I know right? Is that cassie song not the most boring talentless track on the planet? haha yeah off topic sorry. and don't get me started on Ciara. -_-


Oh and I couldn't listen to either entry. this irritates me. (not cuz of y'all...just the internet..y'know)

[glorwen]

^ you have a beautiful voice.

thank you~~~ <3

[DaTru KataLYST]

Dear staff,

Hope everything is well! If you hold another one of these singing contests, PM me! I'll be sure to join the next one.

I woulda sang a whole new world last round. xD

[iDecay]

Haha I'm totally PMing you next time! It's a shame we only got one guy.

[starlette]

Okay now i'm really annoyed that i can't har the entries. whats up with this? can we please host them somewhere else. cuz I get teh cannot be found thingy everytime for both.

[starlette]

I hope I'm still around if there is a gospel round.

Singing songs for these themes has made me realize I am out of touch with most of the genres of music I used to listen to, except gospel.

Hopefully I will submit tomorrow afternoon. I am stuck between three songs.

Oh I'm dying. I can't pick any songs. Its like I forgot how to sing. I think its because I'm scared of butchering the songs because people love these songs and if I ruin them no one will forgive me. I have gone through about..oh I don't know twenty songs. I'm toast.

[KissMe2408]

Ah, there are so many choices....
so many choices...

I have no idea what I'm going to do, no idea.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

Oh I'm dying. I can't pick any songs. Its like I forgot how to sing. I think its because I'm scared of butchering the songs because people love these songs and if I ruin them no one will forgive me. I have gone through about..oh I don't know twenty songs. I'm toast.

its okay J`anelle ....dont be soo worried ...just do it

[*Libertie*]

Okay now i'm really annoyed that i can't har the entries. whats up with this? can we please host them somewhere else. cuz I get teh cannot be found thingy everytime for both.

I just uploaded mine to my webspace, it's a direct download to the mp3. If it won't play in your browser, you may have to right click and save target as to play it. Or I dunno, the link might not be working because it's missing the www.. That shouldn't affect it, but it's been a problem before. I just tried downloading it on the school computer with no problem.. =\

[Serendipity]

DANI. You have a beautiful voice.

Forreal! =O

[Mr. Slowjamz]

dani ..................................................................... .......are you sure you dont take lessons ? your making me love you with open arms . lol

[starlette]

poop. Okay so I'm under massive mount of stress right now and and I'm sick and I'm really not in the mood to sing but if I didn't do it today it wouldn't have gotten done. So this week is definately an off week. But hopefully not so off that i get booted. So here is my song. The Dance - Garth Brooks 1989

http://janelleavery.net/music/thedance.mp3

[*Libertie*]

^Oh good, I was just about to ask where the rest of the entries were.

And pfft, this might actually be my favorite entry from you. Yeah, you had nothing to worry about! Sounds really good.

Mark, LOL.. Thanks. Where's your entry?! Ah god, I was worried about doing that song, but thanks you guys.

[*Zatanna*]

Wow, I am so impressed with everyone's entry! You all sound so amazing. I have no idea how the judges are going to decide this one.

[starlette]

Uhh..yeah. I know what song I'm gonna sing now..it isn't one of the three I was debating over.

I just have to find time to sing it.

lol yeah I did the same thing. I was torn between a good handful of songs and wound up doing something totally random. but I guess thats what works hehe.

edit
okay so I found out that I won't have internet in my new apartment until the 14th. so i wont be here. so umm...I just don't want to miss out on anything. :)

[ParanoidAndroid]

^that's fine I'll move it to 15th

[*Libertie*]

^She's already submitted her entry, so she should be fine.. she was just making sure she wasn't gonna miss anything for the next round.

[ParanoidAndroid]

^oh.. yeah I forgot about that sorry hold on let me change it back to the 13th

[*Libertie*]

Where are all the entries? Are they really gonna eliminate six people? Come on, guys.

[*T0rmented_Soul*]

Libertie (Dani) Good job on Open Arms, thats a hard a song to pull off, and Im glad you did it by the Originals JOURNEY!!!

[KissMe2408]

I should have mine in by Wednesday night.
These next few days are gonna be packed.
And I have an audition tomorrow and Wednesday, so ah!

But I will get one in.
Still not sure what I'm going to be singing exactly...

[Gypsy Eyes]

I'm going to have to drop out, my voice is shot.

[ParanoidAndroid]

If you guys noticed from the last round we had a whole week delay. We're not deciding who gets in immediately. You can hand in something a day late but if you're gonna be a week late then we'll have have to talk about it.

[*My Cinderella.*]

Sorry for the shaky voice.

[*My Cinderella.*]

^ Sorry. Haha looking forward to your entry.

[KissMe2408]

Okay good i'm glad we can turn it in a day late.
Because tonight I got callbacks! yay, which is a good thing,
but i realized I probably wouldn't be able to record the song tonight like I planned.
I'll turn it in by tomorrow though =)

[*Libertie*]

Added Jane's entry. Very cute, as usual.

Good to hear that you guys are still planning on submitting, I was getting scared. Still, where's Mark?

[iDecay]
