You are TOTALLY overthinking it.............. This is not a competition for 1000000$................... I'm sure you destroyed your hand on the keyboard to write this whole novel..... Ok, contest fanatic fanfic, fits more.Boss wrote:
SPOILEROk now, here's the problem as a person who lives in a country which has nothing more than voice and talent shows on TV, I've seen some different concepts of competition. First of all: If you are going to make them sing one pre-chosen song as Jazz said it would not be the best idea to show their talents. Though, if you let them choose their songs, it would be a huge mess. Why? Think about it all those different genres of music had to be compared. It's like choosing between an FPS game and a Platform one or a car and a motorcycle. There would be no actual winners there would just be a more liked music, not because of the singer itself but because of the music and it's emotional effect it would have on us (which is a music's main purpose in the first place) that has been chosen by the singer. Yes, they chose them themselves and they would have thought about the consequences and whether it would affect us emotionally or not but, please, this is a singing contest not a chess championship that you have to think 10 steps ahead. Maybe there would be a pool to choose songs from as Hard suggested but this also has a real big chance to not coincide with what Garven said. So the songs which will be in the pool have to be chosen really carefully and all the contestants should be informed about all the songs in the pool in order to prevent them from screwing up in the last minute. So here's my first idea out of two (which would be a lot better if both were implemented): You choose three songs for each contestant for the pool which is one in their mother tongue, one in a universal language (could be English/Japanese/Korean/Mandarin etc.) and one of their preference between the two listed before. The second thing that should be taken into consideration is again the genres. There is a theoretically simple yet might be a little hard to do in practice kind of solution to this issue. How about we split the Osu!idol finals into different genres and gave prizes according to them. Just spiting them up would be nonsense but let's say that there are three kind of genres left in the finals for each contestant: A, B and C. Everyone sings in their own genre and everything's good to go right? Well, no, sadly. This again triggers the more liked genre vs winner genre problem which can be dealt with a little effort from both the contestants and the judges. Let all of them sing all the genres. Like, A person sings both A, B and C genres; B person sings both A, B and C and vice versa. After all of them are reviewed by the judges we would see if the A person is stronger than the B one in both the A and B or just stronger in it's own genre, this way they would be compared equally in a musical way, not as separately in a "pop" or "rock" or "hip-hop" way. (I'm pretty sure I couldn't explain myself clear enough though.) Also a little P.S. This is just an idea. It's not that I think judges would not evaluate the performances right or anything. What if the people were allowed to vote for their favorite singer? I know this would cause so much trouble so I suggest accepting only non-friends' votes. Also to prevent what I call "counter-voting" also the friends of a contestant should not be allowed to vote for another contestant in anyway. Thus, the only people who vote would be the ones who don't know anything about the singers. Also the votes of non-judge voters should be evaluated as 25% of the judges'. So this way judges have still a way of judging. I think that's all.Many thanks to everyone who made such event possible and good luck with it. Hope to see things like this evolve to bigger ones or open the gates to many others in the future.

I just thought that if I'm writing something, it actually had to matter for something, so I decided to write long. Yeah I'm aware of the fact that I am overthinking, it's just that I wanted everything to be perfect and I know that nothing could and should be perfect. It's not that I've written that because it was a $1000000 competition, I wrote it because I wanted to.LightDreamer wrote:

Rest assured, we're trying to make this competition as smooth as it can be. Ofcourse nothing is perfect but we strive for getting close to it as much as possible.
Thanks for everyone's feedback!

I finished my part this evening. (99.4% completed.....)
I can give my favorite entries here until the doc is released to everyone.
Keep in mind favorite doesn't mean you pass to the next round (sadly D:)
It will become harder and harder so try to find something which allow you to distinguish yourself from others, take risks...
Nya~~

- nena-chan & mrspazzaneve17: I think this is my favorite entry, it was a breath of fresh air and really funny in the same time. Even if the first seconds aren't that great, the end is really nice and the duo is just perfect. Good job, you can be proud owob
- Amagi (this name doesn't exist on osu :C): one of the most interesting choice for me and pretty nicely executed, some weird notes when you reach low tone but nice to hear overall
- yuzuhamu_: kyut voice and a really hard pick for the first stage so glad you bet on it and kudo to you!

omg hype
Why not give contestants 2 weeks and have them choose 1 song from a pool (no effects), plus 1 song of their own pick (effects allowed)? We'll have 6 songs to listen to xD /meruns

This is insanely professional atleast for the stuff you've written for me or for the other participants i checked. you guys are osu idol winners

I was going to try and comment on everyone's for the registration round but for some of them I didn't know what to say and it was a lot to comment on all of 100 entries. (I'm not Garven sorry) For the next round I'm going to try and comment on all of the 51 that passed. If you didn't get a comment but want feedback on why you got the score you did then send me a forum PM.
Can I get some feedback on my entry (even if I didn't get judged orz) ?

Didn't expect to get more points though :3
As I said in the description, I initially wanted to sing for real but my singing is crap so I was pissed and did random ridiculous annoying shiet. I didn't think before I've sent it, and only after, I realized it was useless and a waste of time for you judges. I hope you didn't think I was trolling or something, it is not what I wanted to do ^^'
My entry was more of a joke entry, I don't really know why I've sent it as a regular one. I didn't have much time, thought "there is my voice in it, let's send it"...
Anyway, my apologies, I'll try to learn how to sing and maybe do something actually interesting next year ; )

STAGE 1 GO!
The song you are singing must be JPOP/KPOP/POP. The deadline will be one week from now.Submission form will close on 13th September 23:59:59 GMT +0
CLICK ME.
We will be using the same submission form to gather the entries throughout the stages. It is available in the first post with large text and on the bottom under "Important links".I suggest bookmarking it!
I dont have pc internet until 16th so i guess i am propably out good luck to everyone else
good luck to everyone elseCongrats to all participants that made it to Stage 1! Can't wait to see what you come up with next
The quality this time round was a lot better than anticipated and those who didn't make it this time can certainly hold their head high. Wish you take in some of the feedbacks and keep on improving, aim for Idol 2016
It's a shame that non of the duets made it to the next round though. While there're a few nice submissions, they're just not quite sharp enough when pitted against high quality solo that we're seeing this year. I'll share a few "thoughts" here and, useful or not, hopefully inspire someone to create a future masterpiece
Use your phone if you have to! Don't give up

While there're a few nice submissions, they're just not quite sharp enough when pitted against high quality solo that we're seeing this year. I'll share a few "thoughts" here and, useful or not, hopefully inspire someone to create a future masterpiece
Feedbacks on Duets
These are just things that I thought could be improved upon through observations. I'm not a music major so I won't be using official terminologies, take what I'm about to say with a pinch of salt
Duets are very different from solo, it's the chemistry between singers that can create works of bang. The most obvious advantage of a duet is that you can have 2 voices instead of 1! Think about these just to name a few:
The downside is that it sounds very obvious if 1 singer is out of tune/tempo (even slightly) and quite frankly, it's boring! Try to minimize "sing-alongs" and try to mix in other techniques.
I'm referring to when 1 person sings while the other makes random "sound" to decorate the section. Just make sure that the main singer's voice is clear and on pitch so that the "effects" doesn't kill it.
Harmonies are "big guns" that one can use to deliver heavy punches, use it for the climax! It'll run out of steam when overused.
^ Try mixing in those techniques in your next recording and see if it sounds more dynamic than usual. If you're looking for simple examples, check out COOL&CREATE's songs. I'll leave one example here, this has all the techniques we touched upon (and it's a nice song hue) (https://osu.ppy.sh/b/40212):

"Sing-along"
This is gotta be the most common scenario in a karaoke box. 2 singers singing the same tune, at the same time, competing to see who's voice is louder after a beer (lol)The downside is that it sounds very obvious if 1 singer is out of tune/tempo (even slightly) and quite frankly, it's boring! Try to minimize "sing-alongs" and try to mix in other techniques.
"Rally/Tag"
This is where each person takes turn to sing a section of the song (eg Nichijou) and should be relatively easy to master. Make sure each singer is on pitch and sing with clear voice (since no one can cover for you), this should take care of the bulk of the duet."Effects"
This ain't the digital sound effects that you're thinking about lolI'm referring to when 1 person sings while the other makes random "sound" to decorate the section. Just make sure that the main singer's voice is clear and on pitch so that the "effects" doesn't kill it.
"Harmony"
This usually means 1 person singing the main chord while the other sings at a few keys lower. Yes, very common technique but very awkward when one jumps in to do it, try experimenting a little!Harmonies are "big guns" that one can use to deliver heavy punches, use it for the climax! It'll run out of steam when overused.

Just a heads up, the document will be viewable until Stage 1 Judgings start, after that it will be disabled for public view until the judings finish.
To think that I not only made the top 50 cut, but even cracked the top 10 makes me extremely happy. ^___^
Congrats to everyone who made it, and I look forward to hearing more fantastic entries.
Now, J-pop... *looks through instrumentals*
Too bad my Inner Urge (Shimoneta ED) cover got taken down, because that would have been a hilarious choice. xD

That was something I almost asked you about because I was wondering how it would even be possible to leave the doc viewable while judging for the next stage is going.LoliFlan wrote:

I'm not exactly a pro with audacity and whenever I try record my singing is always behind music,can somebody help me fix? ;-;
You can align the vocals to be farther up to match with the music by moving the audio track that is your vocals. Do you need help with how to do it?[ Piyori ] wrote:

This should help with basic alignment. It's not a super recent video but it still works the same way, you just may find the tools in a slightly different place on the screen.
Thank you so much!!
