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.)

OMGYAY! Definitely looking forward to listening to the recordings.

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.

^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?

Dani, you promised you'd rap for me.

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

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

^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.

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.

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... ?

^ 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?

yay! i'll record soon

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

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.

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

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).

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

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

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.

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!

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.

Come on people! Stop procrastinating!

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

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

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

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

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

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