The more the merrier.

Rules

How it Works:[list]
• 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.
• 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 Libertie, Arjuna Capulong, or tic tac. Please send in your submissions by Saturday, May 5th. Good luck!

(By the way, to those who have asked about why my entries from CBI1 have disappeared, they've been rehosted. You can now find them here.)

[HakunaMatata]

OMGYAY! Definitely looking forward to listening to the recordings.

[misoshiru]

I was thinking, that you could use http://www.ksolo.com

It's an online karaoke site that's for free. So, if contestants recorded their songs on KSolo, and gave us the links to listen to them, it'd be pretty nice since it has the instrumentals and all. Not to mention that you wouldn't have to find places to host it.

[*Libertie*]

^Huh, I'd never heard about that. It'd be cool if people use it, the only thing is that right now my operating system (Mac OS) is not supported, so do you know if I can still hear the submissions if people use that?

[YaGurlSukedMe2SL...]

Dani, you promised you'd rap for me.

[*My Cinderella.*]

Oh, I've been waiting for it. I can't wait! I'll get started on my song.

[*kryogenix*]

This is perfect. Now I need to find a Sanjaya to enter in this competition, and 100+ accounts to vote for him/her.

[*Libertie*]

^Part of me died tonight when Sanjaya was voted off.

Unfortunately in that case, and particularly because voting tends to get out of hand, the results are influenced by the community and decided by the judges. I suppose once we get past the prelims we could start taking votes, though.. hmm.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Sanjaya was voted off? hahahaha I thought he was going to win!

Anyways, yay for another CB idol! I'm excited to listen to the entries.

[Just_Dream]

Actually, people could make Sound Click accounts and upload songs there.

I mean, I've done it myself, and a window just pops up and there's player, or the song could be downloaded. And you don't have to be a member to listen to the song, I believe. Try it:

PSST

I'm definitely not entering though, since I'm not good at singing anyway, compard to many others.

Ooh I think you might need quicktime to play the files, but I'm not sure... ?

[iDecay]

^ It'd be nice to have more people join! You aren't half-bad.

I'm gonna change the rules to 30 seconds long. Some people had trouble getting a minute last time, and 30 seconds seems alright.

Dani, this round is free for all, right? Judges meeting later, yes?

[danifibble]

yay! i'll record soon

[misoshiru]

^Huh, I'd never heard about that. It'd be cool if people use it, the only thing is that right now my operating system (Mac OS) is not supported, so do you know if I can still hear the submissions if people use that?

I'm not sure since I don't use a mac. But...maybe if you tried it?

[*Libertie*]

30 seconds is fine I suppose for the early rounds, but really in the later rounds we need something longer. If it's that short then we can't really get a good idea of the contenstants' abilities.

Yeah, any theme, choose whatever you want, since this is the prelim round. The judges do need to have a meeting for sure.

[lostgrl16]

i made one on ksolo but ehh lol. i think it sucks cause i cant hear my background music

[viugiufgjhfhjfhg...]

If you have audio editing software, you can record your singing and save it in an independent track, then record the vocals on the original music, as if you were merging two tracks (assuming you are using a midi file, or an intrumental track of any kind).

[voguelove]

that has background vocals, though.

edit- okay i made mine on there anyway. ill send it in to one of the judges.

[*My Cinderella.*]

There's two parts to it, one for the main part and the rest for the ending. Hope I can do that.

ZOMG, same here. I hate my immune system.

[Just_Dream]

I was thinking of entering, but it's tough, since I'm not that great.

OMG Maggie You have such a cute voice! <3

What programs are you guys using, anyway? To record my voice, I used Audacity.

[*Libertie*]

^You are too good, you should enter!

[danifibble]

i don't know what to sing =( but yeah i'm sick too ! i'm waiting til my nose feels better lol

[*Libertie*]

Reili's entry is up, everyone check it out!

Looking forward to hearing entries from the sick people. =[

[talcumpowder]

Uh, yeah. Sick people please enter so that I don't have to sing mainstream music. Please?

Oh! And if anyone can't hear what I'm saying . . . You can find the lyrics here.

[clarity]

As some of you know, I'm "grounded" so I had to get this in rapidamento! (yes I know I probably spelled and used the wrong spanish word)

http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/6/26/916...enbyflyleaf.mp3

My voice sounds sooo young when I'm sick and attempt to sing.

[Phil2thejay]

Well, they're working for me, Anastasia.

They work for me now too.
Just had to restart the laptop^^
nice voice considering ur sick too!

[*Libertie*]

Awesome, thanks you guys for sending in entries.

I hate to extend the deadline, but we may have to do that if we don't get more entries in soon. I don't want this to be an extremely short contest.

[*My Cinderella.*]

Come on people! Stop procrastinating!

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Erm, I would enter. but idk how to record on here.... I'm using an iBook, Dani do you know? haha

[*Libertie*]

Kara, I use GarageBand, but since I don't think your version came installed with it, I would try Audacity.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

I figured it out! Thanksss. I can do it on my version of GarageBand.
You may be hearing from me, unless I don't like it. hahahahaha

[danifibble]

i sent my submission to dani :D like i said in the PM let me know if you want me to rerecord.. =(

[*Libertie*]

Dani's submission is up (I didn't know if she wanted to go by Dani or Danielle, haha)!

[*My Cinderella.*]

Aww, Dani. What a cute submission. I love this song.

[dreamerOi]

Oh god, am I really posting? I'm embarrassed. Heres the link

[voguelove]

wait, is the deadline still going to be today?

[Saeglopur]

Before the deadline is over, here's mine. XD It's so last minute that's why it's not that good. OH WELL. This is embarassing. >_<

http://media.putfile.com/Sway-79

[*Libertie*]

Thanks everyone who got their in on time, but while the judges are writing up our comments and preparing for the next round, we decided to let anyone who wants to sneak in a last-minute entry (or redo a recording they aren't happy with) have another couple of days. Once we're ready for the next round, we'll cut off submissions. We'd like to see a couple more entries, hopefully.

[lemonadex3]

when's the deadline?!

[danifibble]

we can still rerecord? what's the deadline for that?

[lemonadex3]

i wanna join
Jelyn : Superstar by Carpenters
http://media.putfile.com/Superstar-36

i think 2 of my friends are planning on joining, so please hold the deadline for a bit thanks.

[*Libertie*]

We'll probably hold off until we've got all our comments up and the stuff ready for the new round, so if you want to throw something in last minute, now's the time.

[Phil2thejay]

is there still time to redo a entry? @.@
I wont be able to get it done until later tonite though =/

[iDecay]

Chyea, Philjay.

[Phil2thejay]

Chyea, Philjay.

didnt have time yesterday.
If i dont do it by tonite just go on to the next round

EDIT: Found out my mic is broken. If I make it through next round I'll buy a new one.
Other than that, just go on with the contest^^

[Gypsy Eyes]

Are we allowed to critique?

[clarity]

^ Mhm, if so I think it should be the "singers" decision to be critiqued or not.

[Gypsy Eyes]

Haha we never have any say if we get critique in CBTNM

[Phil2thejay]

I have afeeling it would cause lots of flaming/mudslinging

[Simba]

Critique is for those who can handle it.

I suppose you should ask for critique if you want it. If not, then expect not to receive any except from the judges.

[*Libertie*]

I don't think it should be any different from CBNTM, as long as the posts aren't considered member bashing.

How do people feel about us displaying our comments in thread, similar to the format for CBNTM? Contestants especially.

[voguelove]

i think i'd really like that.

[iDecay]

Personally, I think that if you're even going to bother being in a competition; especially one that involves you singing, you shouldn't even be here if you can't take critique.

[Phil2thejay]

criticize my faults
compliment my credentials =]

[AimeeLynn]

Aww too late to enter?

[Gypsy Eyes]

Oh it wouldn't be bashing at all, mostly vocal technique.

[*Libertie*]

Aww too late to enter?

Not at all, if you'd like to enter please send something in before we start up the new round! There's a bit of a delay with us getting our comments ready, so there's still time.

No problem, Jackie, if you have some criticism you're welcome to post it.

[AimeeLynn]

clicky
embarassing...
Maybe I'll change it.
Felt in a christmasy mood

[Gypsy Eyes]

Alright, here's my critique.

Jane- Ah don't push the pop voice. It sounds like you're singing through your nose and with small mouth. Drop your chin and jaw down for vowels. Keep your mouth open and don't push the sounds. It will come naturally with practice.

br34ker4lyfe - You have a beautiful rich tone to your voice! Be careful not to sing through your nose, especially on words like who. Think of blowing out a candle, that's what your mouth should look like on words like who and you. With some proper vocal training you could really get somewhere! Keep it up!

Anastasia- Ah don't make excuses ever! If you say something like that at an audition they'll ask you to leave right there. Watch words like you, truth and who. It sounds like you're saying ew. Drop your jaw to make it an ooo. Nice range though! At the end I can't understand a word you're saying. For future reference, when singing a capella never wait for where the music would be.

Danielle- I love your voice! Just watch the one part when your go low at the beginning, you're sinking into you're chest voice. Watch the last you, it came out like yew. Other than that great job!

Kim- You obviously have some sort of vocal training, you're vowels are perfect! Beautiful tone! The only thing I noticed is you're voice got a bit brassy at the end crescendo. Other than that nice!

[Phil2thejay]

Alright, here's my critique.

br34ker4lyfe - You have a beautiful rich tone to your voice! Be careful not to sing through your nose, especially on words like who.

I get that alot. Thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind if I make next round.

Anastatia:
You have a great voice but the choice of the song was kinda eh.
Try selecting a slow song. You vocals would shine more =P

Danielle:
It was very good just certain parts you were off tune.

Jane:
Very good also but you missed some of the high notes.
And it sounded like you sang through your nose most of the song.
Tone was good though.
Part 2 Sounded much better than part 1.

Jelyn:
You sounded good =]
I think you need a mic though =P
(Talk to you at the party tomarrow =P)

[voguelove]

no one critiqued me..

[dreamerOi]

Ah me as well me as well.

[*Libertie*]

The judges will have critiques posted for each contestant, so everyone will get at least three opinions. =]

[Phil2thejay]

Ah me as well me as well.

When you sing, extend some of the words.
It seemed like to sped up the tempo of the actual song.
(EDIT:Yeah, you sped the tempo of the song in the begining, I compared it to the actual song )
Also you sang at the same note most of the time.
Kind sang some notes high when they shouldnt and some low when they shouldn't.
You have the potential, just need to work on it^^

[*My Cinderella.*]

Thanks so much for the help. I will do my best to extend the words ^^. I wasn't sure what song to sing and I ended up picking this. If you think there is a different song that would be better suited for me it'd be great if you could tell me. Thanks so much again.

You can't, Jackie? Maybe try a different browser or maybe you're missing flash.

[*The Markster*]

Dangit, too late.
Um, do you know when CB3 might start?

[Phil2thejay]

Dangit, too late.
Um, do you know when CB3 might start?

When ever CB 2 Idol Ends? Probably a little after a month at the rate this is going.

[iDecay]

You're not late.

Hm, name a song and I'll try singing it.

You do realize I'm already a signed artist?














Lol just kidding. :)
Capella?

[Gypsy Eyes]

a capella means without music.

[clarity]

Gah, for some reason I got it mixed up with Gospel.

>_<

[Phil2thejay]

[*JoanOfArc*]

Tell me about it. Are we still waiting on submissions?

[Phil2thejay]

Tell me about it. Are we still waiting on submissions?

I beleive Dani just hasn't been on lately. I hope. lol
Arjuna? tina? whats the stats

[clarity]

For real. This is like dead.

[Simba]

Heh, so sorry you guys. We still need to discuss among ourselves, and we haven't really gotten a chance to do that recently.

You can't can expect this to get poppin' by summer break, though.

[*Azarel*]

You can't expect this to get poppin' by summer break, though.

Can or can't? :\

[clarity]

Well I think I should withdraw, since I'm probably going to be gone for a month.
