I can definitely say its a "ninja hype".

Oh~♪ We're half way there~♪

Lmao, I wish that Idol was our biggest or the only worry

Damn you all, now I'm hungry. Being hungry this late is bad! GRAWR

I guess since I can't choose you I have to choose Garven

I want to pick Flan as my #1! ztrot is #2 and the pop tart is #3!

I would choose peppy, cuz his entry was so great during the registration phase, would ya agree?

He will never top his Baby Cruisin Love entry

Okay, we have some progress, around 75% done!
Though I'm expecting delays because like always someone has to just submit and go inactive for a week and not respond to their messages *claps*.

Ok, peppy is #3 with the pop tart. 'cause the pop tart just sings like a kitty

I'm so nervous! There are so many amazing voices in this competition

I know, right? I'm surprised I made top 10 when there are so many talented singers here. I always feel humbled by people's covers here. It makes me want to strive even more to improve my covers. ^___^

Whoa what how? I'm legitimately surprised. And by 0.1 points, I'm so sorry Lyra...

Well, I had expected this. My voice was destroyed just making top 10, so I'll happily take 10th. Still better than last year. ^___^

Congratulations to everyone else and I really look forward to hearing the finals entries.

Well, 9th, not bad. Better luck next time. Anyways, who wants duet? JK!

Wow, the finals already?
Can't wait!

I'm not surprised, last year had the same situation with 0.X points, ended up being 4th as well.

Congratz for your effort and goodluck with competing, all of you Since I participated just for fun and for judges' feedback, I feel content, achieved both things. Well, side effects appeared as well, but only positive ones (my fellow hermit will know what I'm talking about), and I have a few projects planned with contestants, so everything was #wurf.

Once again, thank you, and keep improving yourselves even when the competition is over - that's just one of many reasons to do so.

Would I be compromising my judging integrity if I voted in this new poll?

Anyway, I just wanted to say you all did a great job, and congratulations to the top 3!

Congrats to top 3!
I feel like I should have checked up on this earlier again, I just listened through the stage 3 entries and you were all really good!

I'm not sure if the community is that smart about evaluating singing performances(esp. when effects are allowed) but I'm nonetheless very excited about what we'll get to hear now that it's been announced that they have complete freedom in their performance.

Can I use layered vocals for R4? And complicated effects too?

Congrats guys! I'm so glad I could do this, it was really fun. I'm looking forward to hearing the final songs with full effects <3

You guys all did so well! Judging gets harder and harder as we progress, I'd love to give you all good scores but then I wouldn't be doing my job would I xD

Good luck to the finalists, can't wait to see what you come up with!

i think i will cost more time in mixing than in recording orz

Go Sagi go goo <3

Good luck on the other finalist!

I'm aware, thats why I mentioned if you need more time, contact me!

That'll give em some time for mixing.

Whoa i'm on #5 HAHAHHAA

Congratulations dear Sagi <3 <3

Seems to be interesting.....even though I didn't observe much of the idol.

I can not wait to hear the final round :"
I hope i can join again next year

Sagi, you voice absolutely blew me away when I heard Yuragi... idk how many times I've replayed it and I still have shivers :9
Good luck in finals~ You have a new fan now ^-^/

only like 3 of those songs were heavy im sad

Heyaaaa! long post inc!

I'm wasn't very proud with my entry, honestly i couldn't do anything about voice, but what is important to me is, thanks to my friend telling me about this competition i was able to get better at singing and really grind and put a lot of time in this, i was able to get a lot better, im more over happy, each week after week i looked forward to the comments on my song, it was helpful but made me feel really happy and that drived me into making more and getting better, Thank you for all the judges for juding my entries week after week, I'm very thankful to my friend(Exotron) to mention this competition, it helped me during tough times . kept me going balancing education, cuz studying does get boring after a long time, dont get me wrong i love math and physics but its nice to mix it up, VARIATION and moderation is good ;3 but DO STUDY KIDS! (:

My 2C about finals:
It's all good how loliflan runs it, he's done an amazing job and has been helpful so far through out the competition to everybody and esp to me when i asked for time during sour throat. I feel that singing should be from your skills, your control, your pitch, your range, your voice, your flow, your tune, your accent, your everything that you control and you posses in you should define how great of a singer you are, and what about people who don't have $$, what about people who don't have the money or knowledge to operate on sofwares compared as equal as the 3 contestants?, I personally know basics about video editing(kinda surprsing if you know me) but for me i don't know much more than above average and what if one person has the money and technology to really add in that factor to raise their singing, is that really fair? i don't mean to argue anything in this this subject is very sensitive so i'm just sharing what i know and assume in my head so yeah i could be wrong in this, there are almost 0 possible events where a guy gets voted higher by the community, even already it's showing. idk man i'm really happy with this competition but if i were in top 3, it wouldn't be fair to me, Imagine this situation if cpt didn't have enough skills as sagi or yelena in mixing or vocalling or adding layers and whatever you do in music terms. well tbh this competition for me is about fun and imagine someone from India singing english songs and getting to top? that would be nise for osu india but i mean i don't care for 3 month supporter, for me it's been a wonderful journey, smooth and perfect and has made so many improvements in me and i honestly know for a fact it's because of this competiton, and a part of my real life has been amazing thanks to this competiton but all im saying is to my eyes it seems kinda unfair about the whole rules thing. I'm not calling you out loliflan, i loved being part of what you've done and i also think you did an absolute amazing job with the whole competition and and esp. with selecting judges, holding the competition, managing everything with irl, that deserves mad props!, but i'm just mentioning this.
My 2 cents.

P.S: I'm really happy about my positi

Good luck to you three, i hope you all the very best i'm sorry if i seemed serious, it's all you guys now, GOOD LUCK and enjoy

From what I've seen, those that are good with mixing are more than willing to help those that cannot. It never hurts to ask when it's needed

^Pretty much that.

Effects are just spices to help lift a well prepared dish (except auto-tune.. it turns everything into weirdness regardless of good/bad lmao).

These finalists are all capable of taking out the competition without effects to start with, seems like it'll come down to who's willing to spend more time rather than who knows how to mix wwww

Auto-tune is for VOCALOIDs and Lady Gaga XD

TwistedDuck wrote:

many words

First of all, thanks! The only hard part about running this is people asking the same questions over and over even though they've been answered, heh.
Anyone can do it if they put their mind to it (im doing it tho its miiiiine).

Second - you're overthinking things, this event was created for fun. Sure some can have a competative attitude and/or advantage but keep in mind that vocal performance is judged, not your mixing skills nor microphone quality, we're not going to cut your score half with the reason "your mic sucks" or give 2 more points because that girl has a Yeti. The only problem that can arise is not enough volume, but trust me I've amped one entry 800% and it still worked out.

And as for the mixing at finals, I am aware it can be a disadvantage not knowing how to work with audio.
If this actually happens someday, I'll make sure it goes out well, wouldn't mind helping out with the basics.
Audio mixing is not something hard, it can just be time consuming.

But anyway, expecting you here again next year!

Don't forget Rebecca Black.

A yeti!? Flan, are you suddenly into hairy things?

To me the competition is already over and we have those 3 winners, also the next round has to be seen as an Extra that tells "okay bless our ears now"

At least it's how I see it and i think it's a great idea for us (vocalists) overall, being your own producer and trying to use your creativity instead of just singing a line
which is what you're supposed to do when you wanna share your music on internet

i got a bad cold and continued for about 3 weeks
and my voice has been like this for 2 weeks

http://puu.sh/kYc2Q/6a618b821d.mp3

so maybe i will upload a short ver. instead of a full version orz
i feel very sorry about that orz

Hey, there are still a few days left, plenty of time to get better! Get well soon.

We have received all 3 entries, stay tuned for an upcoming event showcasing the finalists' tracks!

zzz

When.

The moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore ~

I low-key check this thread like 5 times a day. My anticipation boileth over....

Planned event delayed due to OWC. Should happen on 14-15th.
We will showcase the entries on livestream with hopefully all judges present for input and discussion, after that a global announcement will be made so everyone can submit their inputs for the final results.

If it all goes as planned that is.

Can I be hype to do this because I am hype to do this

hypu~

Tell all your friends and family! This will be awesome! Best thing to happen on that twitch channel EVER.

Until next year*

Holy hype I hope it's at a time I can tune in live!!!

still coughing badly

wait patiently

If all backfires, I'll just go for announcement right away. Don't want to keep you guys waiting for too long.

Sadly nothing worked out at the end, I'm sorry everyone.
I am going to wait no more nor will make you wait no more either

The osu!idol FINALS Community Voting will now begin!!

Please click the link below to give your scores for the finalist's entries!!! (will require google login to prevent repetitive voting)
Click me!!!
Voting will proceed until November 30th 23:59:59 UTC!


Spread the word for now! I'll try to get an announcement going.
GOOD LUCK TO THE FINALISTS!!!

Arrrrgh I'm at work right now, can't wait to get home to hear the other amazing entries!

I would like to personally say I'm sorry it was kinda out of my hands to make the stream happen my pc failed on me at the worst time possible but I have made sure to get you guys as much notoriety as possible and votes are flooding in so good luck to you all. and again sorry for the delay.

It's finally here ♪( ´▽｀)

Is there a way to keep the links to the songs up somewhere other than the form? I voted, but just realized that means I can't go back and listen again

google is blocked in China by the CFW...orz

I think it prevents voting from China too though, I think a poll in the forums would've prevented redundant votes just as well.

Personally I like CptHampton's entry the most, mostly due to the character of the song though as the singing performance of the other two is hard to judge with all the mixing(for me at least, I'm not an expert at such stuff).
I feel like CptHampton and yealina both had slight problems with managing volume relative to the music in a few parts but all entries are still awesome

You announced it after I told you to in the chat..... You were too excited by the owc.

Oh wow! When Flan put up the poll here of who we thought was going to win the finals I was a pretty distant 3rd, so hopefully I can surprise some people and give a good showing for the underdogs out there!

You definitely suprised people already by being the first male finalist

it seems that i'm the worse of the finalist

i don't think it's important that who is the winner, i join this just for fun and sing the songs i love XDDD
but i feel lonely than last year


(and i still ill in bed QA Q)

Finally I got a chance to see what's in the envelope

It's interesting to see how the contestants apply effects differently, all 3 are worthy of the big stage! I'm glad that the community is voting this year, 'cause it's definitely another nail-biting finals wwww

Good luck all!

Here are the links for the MP3s.

Also I've decided not to create a seperate form for China, as theres nothing stopping those who use VPNs from voting on both forms.
All them factors :linus:

I wonder why are we using Google forms for voting instead of using the voting on official website like the best of the maps of the year vote at the end of the year.

That was my initial idea, but sadly didn't work.
Maybe next year.

I was thinking about something..... If we go for all community vote next year, we may exclude this year's finalists, because they are already favorites. That wouldn't be fair at all.

Let me worry about that.

But you're already worrying about everything else

Just posting my thoughts on the submissions. Astounding job to all three of you!

D:

EVIL VOTING!!!!!!!!!!!

Time is almost up, gathered more than 850 votes. Whoever hasn't voted, do it now!

puh, did it in time!

Nah, another announcement is queued before mine, shouldn't take long.

EDIT: Will get delayed due to other announcements coming up at once so it doesn't get pushed out.
On hold atm, apologies everyone, one last wait.
