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 ; )

Hello Becca, for the first time I'm ex aequo with someone, nice entry ;) Btw thanks for such nice notes, I was lmao when registering :P

I'm confused and disappointed.

Why the hell is my entry marked as a "joke entry"?
Why wasn't it judged?
I feel seriously trolled...even though I wrote earlier that I'm "Going to participate for lolz though." the entry was serious(and it took me more than one take okay?). What would I participate for if not for the fun anyway? >.>

It still must be raw vocals, the rules on the main post still apply.

If you want my honest opinion, I didn't find it to be that good or amazing at all. That's just me tho, the others thought it was pretty good.

Alright everyone, it is time to start the stages!

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!

Congrats 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 :)

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:

"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 lol

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.

"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.


^ 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):

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

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?

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.

I should sing the parody of Coward Montblanc I dod for my favorite RPG forum...... They weren't able to appreciate it, because it's in english and it's a bunch of french guys.......
It's for french people, but if anybody is interested to know the inspiration for my parody, it's here: http://just-married.forum-nation.com/

It will be a version without effects and with BETTER quality of this: https://soundcloud.com/v-ronique-boucha ... -montblanc

Pwahhhhhh..... I don't like how it sounds........... http://puu.sh/k3LIY/394a70cb88.mp3 The words are a bit hard to place.....

Big edit: Why is Yowamushi Montblanc so hard to sing?

Too bad, cause it sounds awesome. At least, if he did like me, choosing another instrumental that is more "pop".

Because Yowamushi Montblanc is a rock song. But with the right remix...........
I'm still messing up a lot of things, because I can't do dual layer, there are places where the lyrics are to close to the next, so it sounds weird.... Still working on it.

It's goddamn rock/metal, its even in the soundcloud track tags.
Not to mention there are voice overlaps in a few places.

If anyone else is questioning if their song is pop, then try looking up the song first and checking pages with either the song or the album it is from to see if pop/jpop/kpop/any pop is in its genres. As long as pop is in the top 2 or 3 genres it should be okay. If it's a sub genre of a sub genre of a sub genre tho then it prolly isn't the best choice.

If you've ever looked at genre lists for songs or just genre lists in general it is insane sometimes. Like the main genre could be jpop but then it's sub genres might include something like indie alternative electro soft rock.
