Rules for the final round
1. KoromoAmae - Turn The Page
- Krisom: Flawless. Man, like, really flawless. 9/10 would listen again (and the 1 that would not is probably a weeabo)
peppy: Great effort.
Time to be overly critical. From a stylistic perspective, I really don't think the way you sing this song does it justice. I'd go as far as saying you are overusing opera-style vibrato where it isn't necessary. You also seem to be alternating between a "choir"-like voice and a pop/rock rough style. Especially noticeable on the (also overused imo) crescendos.
Death_the_Kid: OOOO~ Static
Powerdrone: You did a good job. You didn't quite dazzle me, but you did perform well.
- Krisom: Good. I noticed that you seem to run out of breath sometimes though. Voice is not as great as the other times :/, but you sang this very nicely, the performance is really entertaining as a whole.
peppy: Uneven volume throughout the song. Loss of power on higher pitched sections. Timing is a bit off throughout. But yeah, lack of volume consistency made it quite painful to listen through this
.
Death_the_Kid: Sounds like you don't give a crap...can you go high?
Powerdrone: This really didn't sound... well. :/ Didn't really enjoy this performance.
- Krisom: Great, in every single way. Something killed you badly though, the part after the chorus and before the "won’t let you go". It's out of time and out of tone. That after it "Yeah!" was great, and the part after it is full of emotion, I'm surprised that you sang like that, at first I thought that it was someone else.
peppy: Did you...miss the start? >_>
Interesting choice in song. Nice vibrato and volume control.
I understand this song isn't possible without multiple cuts, but I still believe that it's a bit lame to use multiple recordings, especially when it is very easy to tell where you cut it. That said, you still demonstrate excellent vocal control and variety, so I'm going to have to give this one to you. Great job.
Death_the_Kid: Not the smartest song to sing Good job BTW
Powerdrone: Poor mic quality unfortunately. However, I think this was the perfect song for your finale and you sang it wonderfully! Congratulations!
RESULTS FINAL ROUND
Round 3
Guest Judge this week: peppy
1.Larto - What you waiting for
- Krisom: Soft voice, gets off tone a bit, though not THAT much. You did better in the low notes. Flow was really great, and I could understand the pronunciation up to the end
Preformed with great enthusiasm and the voice was not plain during all the song, you made your voice fit perfectly for every "section", singing louder when needed or not, really great.
Overall, I really enjoyed this performance.
peppy: Tonal Quality: Pitch was mostly accurate. Volume changes were quite sudden at times, could do with some regulation. Good work on the "spoken" sections. Quite entertaining, though a bit disturbing.
Death_the_Kid: You’re fun to listen to.
Powerdrone: SO AWESOME! <3 This is what I was waiting for!
2.KoromoAmae - Prism
- Krisom: Up to this point, I noticed that you can't pronounce the "r" quite well =P. Well, the voice was great, never went off key and never ran out of breath, always on time and everything (and nice vibratos~). I still don't find the performance "great", I don't know why, maybe I can't feel anything through the singing? Lacks emotion imo. Also, the volume is the same during all the song.
Overall, it's technically great, but somehow I don't feel anything.
peppy: Please, do a bit of practice on your 'ra ri ru re ro' pronunciation. It should be somewhere between r and l, but closer to l if you can't get it. Signing style doesn't really match the original song that closely, but can't complain about it beyond the style. Great effort.
Death_the_Kid: Nice voice, I like your style.
Powerdrone: Really well done, although your voice sounds a little bit strained. I think that's the right word... otherwise good job!
3.Rukarioman - The Reason
Krisom: Woah, it goes really off tone at the low notes (which is, almost everywhere, considering that you sang this in a lower octave). You run out of breath when you hold notes :<. I'd put more enthusiasm on this, more emotions, everything seemed to be the same for me, I could not make a difference between the chorus and the rest of the song when listening to the vocals.
Overall, well, I did not dislike it....
peppy: Pitch control needs a lot of work.
Death_the_Kid: You really need to annunciate, some words were not said correctly.
Powerdrone: You can't hit any of the notes. Really, really bad... sorry :/
4.Sweagen - How to save a life
Krisom: Great voice, didn't go off tone at any single time. Also, great use of the volume, I could clearly tell the difference between the chorus and the rest of the song. You really had a great control of your voice for this one! Also, this made me want to sing, your performance was great!
Overall, Great!!
peppy: Good job. Pity about microphone quality. Might want to lower your volume a bit as to not hit peaks on the mic!
Death_the_Kid: At some points your timing is off. But you have a nice voice.
Powerdrone: The timing sounds off, and you breathed at the wrong times, most especially at the second chorus if I recall correctly. Not bad overall.
5.Mashley - Digital Love
Krisom: DAT recording quali- Oh wai, I'm not supposed to judge that =P
Ok, voice was ok and I like how you do those high notes every now and then, but you don't control the volume of your voice when you sing them, so they stand out more than what they should :/. The performance was really plain though, nothing here to look at, just add more enthusiasm next time.
Overall, it was fine.
peppy: Good start, a bit weak in sections though. Not sure if you were singing an octave lower than the song, but some of those low notes seem painful! Could have done with a slightly longer recording, but good effort.
Death_the_Kid: I got nothing to say. Nice work~
Powerdrone: You didn't hit the opening notes.
There were certainly better submissions this round. Impressive note holding though!~

Round 2
Feedback by Krisom and Powerdone respectively.
1. Mashley - Word Up
- Manly voice~.To be honest I have nothing to complain on this one. Good job
- You were singing too low. When you sang higher it sounded better! Try to find something that's a little more in your range I suppose? Your range may be a little higher than you think it is.
2. Teta - Modern Strange Cowboy
- To be such a fast paced song, your voice stays behind in volume and "power". It was really hard for me to judge this because the instruments were much louder than you. I did notice that you can't reach higher notes without reducing the volume of your voice, and that you seem to lose your breath when you hold notes.
- I couldn't hear your voice above the instrumentals. I'm not here to rank how good the quality of your background music, I'm here to listen to your singing.
3. Azure_Kyte - You
- You tripped at the start, when you had to wait you almost start singing :3~ Nice. I can’t suggest anything here either.
- It was well done! I actually enjoyed listening to it! Keep up the good work!
4. Sweagen - Don't Stop Believing
- Sweet vocie, but you abuse of vibratos imo. Also, you start singing each verse a tiny bit late. Great volume control! Heh, you tripped too, singing a "don't stop" that wasn’t there :3~ After you reach that highest note for the first time, you lost your breath (but it was awesome )
- Your timing was noticeably off, but I liked your style of singing for this song. However, you did also mess up on the lyrics as well. Practice makes perfect!
5. Larto - Dead!
- You made me want to sing, and no one has done that so far, good! You sing with an adequate volume and "power" for the whole song, but I'd like for the chorus to sound different than the rest of the song. Oh, nice touch at the end, but you should sing the "la la la laaaa la" more quiet imo.
- I don't think this was a good song for you, honestly. You were singing it too low and weren't always hitting the notes you were supposed to hit.
6. Jarby - Dinosaur
- You were laughing all the time ._.? I had that impression. If you weren’t, then you need to control your breathing to make it more silent. Uhhh, you sing with the same emphasis for the whole song, I'd like for the "DI-NO-SA" to have more emphasis. About the voice, ehh, I dunno, your singing wasn't bad, but not great either.
- Laughing while singing detracts from your performance. Try to keep a little more professionalism. Your singing didn't break my ears, so thank you very much for that! Could have been better, but not at all bad.
7. rust45 - Silence
- You don't reach the notes you are supposed to, and when you hold notes you usually go off-tone a bit.
- I'm going to be honest here... You sounded as if you were purposefully trying to make a rather silly voice while singing.
8. KoromoAmae - Romeo and Cinderella
- Abuse of vibratos. The voice is ok though I'm not sure about the pronunciation.
- I don't know if this was a good song choice for you, your voice doesn't quite fit so well with the instrumental. It is clear that you are a talented singer, so work hard for the next round!
9. Rukarioman - Fireflies
- I singed along :3~, great. You do go off tone a bit, specially when you hold some notes, just at the end. Everything else was ok.
- Singing a pretty much completely auto-tuned song wasn't your best bet. You didn't hit the notes you were supposed to. Sorry. :/

If you don't want your voice heard why would you enter a singing contest? I'm all for having votes as well as judges. Perhaps have the judges pick some people to go up for voting and then people vote on who out of them should stay?
