Categories so far:
I think 4 categories are enough. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I’ll most likely copy/paste this to the instructions I’ll be sending the judges (I’ll be sending the judges everything they need/need to know on August 2nd).
Any more suggestions on what you think judges should avoid?
- Voice: The quality of the performer's voice. Did they sing clearly? Could you understand the lyrics (annunciation)? Did their voice flow? Was the performer on key?
Entertainment Value: How you enjoyed the performance. Think about song choice, how it was performed, did it make you feel an emotion?
Creativity: Specifics about the performance. Did the performer "make the song their own"? Did the performer take risks (and did they work ;D )?
Timing: If timing is off then they should be deducted points for that.
(note: not “you can tell if you slow it down” off or “1/100 of a second” off. Refers to when you can tell, with the naked ear, at 100% speed that they're off with virtually no doubt for a significant portion of the song without comparing to the original version. That's a pretty big margin for error if you think about it.)
Overall: Sum of all scores from all four categories

BGM quality
Disliked voice
Song Choice (how the song sounds instead of the singer)
