CB Idol, Let's get the ball rolling! ;)

Finally, we're ready to start the new round of CB Idol! For those who don't remember or weren't around last time, we had a lot of great participants and hopefully this time will be even better. Those who have expressed interest in the topic in feedback will be sent PMs to let them know this has been posted, and to anyone else who might be interested, please go ahead and send in your submissions! The more the merrier. _smile.gif

Submissions

1. Maggie (cup noodles) 2. Jane (My Cinderella.) 3. Reili (ai + you) 4. br34ker4lyfe 5. Anastasia (a beautiful nothing) 6. Danielle (danifbble) 7. Linda (dreamerOi)8. Kim (Days Nearly Over)
  • Sway by Michael Buble
9. Jelyn (juh-leen ) 10. Aimee (stolen)
    11. (gemulon)
      11. Alysa (alysaphobia)
        -------------------------------------------------------------

        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. _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 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.)

      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. >_<

      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.

      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. _smile.gif

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

      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.

      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.

      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. wink.gif victory.gif

      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.

      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!
