Well the theme from the first time was Anything Goes.
My vote is for themes, it's more fun to see what they think of within a set of songs.
Themes can be as vague as 'must be in english you domb fucks.'

I agree.

I think themes would be very interesting to have to work around... as long as the songs don't all have to be in Osu.

The first round was more of an 'entry thing', anyways, so now that we have our set of people who have qualified for the idol I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to implement themes.

There's still plenty of time if you want to change your mind, Haneii or the judges :D

Edit: I just realized there aren't any girls that submitted entries... o-o

If ALL of the current contestants agree to having a theme, then sure go ahead.

Otherwise I'd say not to because it wasn't in the rules when we started.

:cry: - Ikr. I didn't know the gender for a majority of the contestants so I always had this false hope that the next submission would be a female.





Sorry Sweagan, no themes for this contest :(

Hope you weren't expecting a girl there otherwise I am a sad panda.
Also how will this go on? after round 2 6 will remain, after round 3 will there be 3 contestants left? and will round 4 be the final round?

I imagine there not being a preset way of determing the number of players dropping off.
When you're with 5 left you can practically make a round for every player dropping off.

First round 5 leave, next round 4, after that 3, and finally 2 - leaving us with the winner ( I didn't put any though into this system, I just needed the final round to have 3 contestants )

As for having more rounds, call me selfish, but I can't commit to this for longer than 2 months. As soon as October hits I'd probably have trouble meeting my deadlines for sending the clips to the judges, uploading them onto this thread, and adding up the results. So that's the main reason why the contest is so short (as well as why the registration period was short as well - I needed to start the contest asap). Sorry.

For songs that aren't in english, I'd recommend that the judges have the lyrics in front of them when listening. If I'm just listening to a japanese song, I sure as hell can't discern any of the words myself because I'm not a native speaker, and I imagine that the judges are in the same position. This is important to judging clarity, since if you don't know what the words are supposed to be, you can't really make a decision on whether they sound correct or not.

Hai. I don't mind sending links to lyrics along with the clips :D

I don't know, I tried singing today and I sound fine in my head but when I played the recording it was... bad... ;_;

I might just stick with judging so as not to embarrass myself <3

The key is to do that until you don't sound bad.

This might help people who want to remove vocals from their audio tracks~

(Be warned, it doesn't work with every song.)

That method removes everything that is panned to the center. In most cases, you will be removing the bass and bass drum as well as the lead vocals and perhaps other instruments used in the song. I'd only use this method as a last resort if you MUST have some kind of backing and you can't find an official instrumental.

I think the judges will be able to recognize everyone's voice anyway, since they all sound completely different.

Never trying to sing miku again. That was way too difficult to emulate, one because I'm bad at reading lyrics in romaji, and two because vocaloids don't have to breathe.

I'm assuming it's in the order of who was better, so that's means I lost. And that trying to sound silly was me trying to add my own flair to the song and failing. And I probably wasn't in tune or having a good tone because last time I sang I was tuning my voice to the singer.

That logic would mean Phyrearms should've been last in Round 1.
