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

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.
Current Participants

1. brownsugar (Suzzette) - My Funny Valentine by Frank Sinatra, 1955
2. starlette (J'anelle) - The Dance by Garth Brooks, 1989
3. Libertie (Dani) - Open Arms by Journey, 1981
4. xiMiJix (Mark) - Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel, 1977
5. My Cinderella. (Jane) - My Girl by The Temptations, 1965
6. aubbob. (Aubrey) -
7. Julietary (Julie) - withdrew from the competition
8. glorwen (Aggie) - Mama Mia by Abba, 1975
9. KissMe2408 (Katie) - Stand By Me - by Ben E. King, 1961
10. Work In Progress (Jane Doe rolleyes.gif) -
11. Gypsy Eyes (Jackie) - withdrew from the competition

Past Rounds:
Preliminary Round
Round 1: Disney

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

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.

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. XD.gif

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)

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. ermm.gif


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.

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.. =\

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

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.
