Will the contestants still be anonymous when judging?
(Judges will be judging the contestants without knowing who exactly is singing)

Haha I dunno... waiting is definitely the most tense part of Osu Idol, but it gives you time to wonder what other peoples are whipping up.Haneii wrote:

Microphone decided to stop working even though it was fine last week O_O Hope everything turns out OK ... might have to resort to ... some weird recording methods ... >_<
Dropping out, realizing that October is going to be one hectic month even without this going on.
How can it even be possible to get sick before something like this? ;_;
Going to wait till saturday and see if this goes away.. If not, then I have to send one bad clip I recorded yesterday, lol~

Seems like a bunch of people are getting sick anyway, so it'll be a fairly even field. I think.
I'm always sick for one reason or another :C
I have a nice song picked out, so I'll see if I can record tomorrowish.

i'll prolly sing the song that got me out of season 1
Can you specify what exact time the recordings are due? The PM states that they are due 6 days and 22 hours after the notice. The PM only says "Posted 4 days ago". Unless the post here announcing registration is close to the time you've distributed the PMs I'll be using that time to find what the exact time they are due.
Reason: I'm recording on Sunday
( I feel like I'm still in my college classes lol o_o )

B) sent mine in hours ago but it sucked something out of this world >~<
Cool~ Judging started already~
I was thinking it would take the whole day to judge and by tomorrow it would be done.
I'm thinking it might be sooner...idk

Someone remind me again why I belted into the microphone a song I knew from my childhood and submitted that as an entry without even listening to it first. Especially when there were songs I practiced a lot that I could have sung instead.
Then again it's getting some laughs (for all the wrong reasons) so it worked out in a really weird, fucked-up way.

I tried, I really did, but this A capella stuff was difficult.
I should have to time to listen to the entries and monitor the game.
good luck guys (turnout was amazing, even though deadline had to be extended)

Eagerly awaiting the first theme. I hope it's an interesting one.
I want to know but I don't want to know. OH THE SUSPENSE!
A capella was freaking hard. I was like ... ack! My voice! D:

No, there's no language restriction. You can sing in the language of the Bo and still have your entry accepted (and yes, I'm dead serious. Ask Larto about that one).yangzd88 wrote:

Go go alvistoDoes osu idol has song's language restrict?= =||
And hey, you were only 2 points away from making the cut. You might actually make it next time.
If I had known this round's entries would be posted up, I probably would have put some more effort into, at least, actually singing the right lyrics...
Come now, this event is all about parading everyone's wonderful voices about.
There's some good vocalists here though. I can't wait to hear what comes out of this next round.

This, this, and this. Unless you thought that the theme meant that you had to find a song from 1010 or earlier, but that would just be ridiculous.Jarby wrote:

Lol you guys, what I meant was "most of the music I listen to is publisehd 20xx, and I don't know that many songs from 19xx" ... I guess my post was kind of vague but I have no idea how you interpreted it XD
Anyway I found some good songs but my voice range is so small lol D;

EDIT: oh nvm...I got it
Before 2000 right?
I'm pretty satisfied with my score...even though I almost got eliminated.
I was really inconsistent with my singing. My consistency was the biggest issue that there was.
I thought I had a decent voice and performed decently. Next time I'll probably do better since now
I have more time to practice and perform smoother than my last.

My two cents:
I find it strange that so many people's results have such strikingly polar opposite ratings from the judges. To be frank, I think there needs to be more strict guidelines on what to look for in a person's singing that defines it as unacceptable, awful, bad, okay, good, and flawless (in respects to rankings of 0-2-4-6-8-10). I don't think I would give anyone a 10 unless they were absolutely great and you have no flaws to point out. I find it even more strange to give multiple people rankings of 10. Are you saying that you wouldn't say that a certain 10-ranked singer sang their entry better or worse than another 10-ranker?
All in all, I agree most with Ephemeral's ratings (not to single you out or anything, Eph). I find that they adhere best to the guidelines with no bias involved or anything else that might affect a score.

@ Nekoroll
I agree with Ephemeral's ratings too. They felt like the most trustworthy of scores. Most of the scores (not just 10's) made it seem like everyone else wasn't taking the scoring very seriously. 10's should rarely be given unless it really was a flawless performance.
why was I here again...oh yea~
Ekaru's singing reminds me sooo much of Barney and Friends lol

The quantity of each rank given by each judge:
I sort of see a problem with this.

WOO the results are up! This is awesome! I got in!
And the theme is pretty easy to find a song for too...
@ Nekoroll: Yes, I think there's way too much variety from the panel and there need to be clearer parameters for the grades...
I mean I got a 3 ... I don't think I was that bad, and I think animask should have been higher and a few other people too (I can give examples when I finish listening to these lol)
Edit: Ahhh I've listened to at least half of them and the judges are EVERYWHERE. It's like there's 1 or 2 judges on each person who voted completely differently...
In later rounds of Osu idol they usually provide commentary so we can see why they voted why they did, right? Because right now there's a lot of mixed reactions...

The judges are wildly varied, but we don't know if any of them actually know anything about music or not, so it's hard to judge their judgments.
He could be like Simon from American Idol~Nekoroll wrote:
Voting for Mogsworth to be a judge. :V lol
I thought ranking them from best to worst on a per judge basis was a better idea. Oh well.
Mogsy SHOULD be a judge because he actually knows music stuff.
herp done derp
lol@Theme
Wow music before 2000.
I'd know many songs to sing before 2000's cause it's music I listen to lot, but I'm not singing cause I can't hit high notes at all anymore so I leave it to you who can do it.
I thought of suggesting some songs to sing to help people choosing their songs, but I guess we aren't allowed to suggest songs to contestants so I'm not doing it.
So what I'm gonna do now is to repeat myself and wish you guys good luck once again

I agree that the "mario kart grand-prix" style grading of season 1 was better than this iteration.
If this turns into a series of competitions after this one (which I hope it does), I think a screening for the judges needs to be required. Ask them what their music background is, how knowledgeable they are, and so forth. The competition should be open to anyone, but judging should be left to those who have a definite understanding of music performance.
I'm not questioning the current judges yet, since we've only done one round, just stating my opinion that if this continues into subsequent seasons, we need to have qualified people doing the judging.

Oh by the way, Powerdrone, you were the most surprisingly good entry in round one. I'm curious as to your singing background, so please enlighten us. I'd rate you as a final round competitor at this point, solely based off the preliminaries.

My life story...
I've loved singing ever since I was little, but I've never gotten any lessons. I always auditioned for the school musicals in elementary, I remember singing "Copacabana" for one of them haha. I never got any big parts though. I continued with performing arts in grade 7 and 8, landing a role with a solo in the grade 8 musical "Honk! jr." It was so much fun! I did choral in grade 9, and I loved the class, but I felt like my singing really wasn't very good at that point. I had auditioned for the musical, and there were only a few other guys that did too, and I got this tiny useless part with barely any lines. I know I really shouldn't have felt bad, but I did...
Anyways, in Grade 10 I dropped choral because it became Triple Threat. I can't dance for my life, and it was a full year course, so I decided against it. I started taking drama and I love it so much. I had the highest mark in drama last year <3 But yeah, I always thought my singing wasn't good enough because I never got any large roles in the musicals. I guess I assumed it was my singing because I got the lead for drama last year.

Sorry that was so long.
tl;dr My only background in singing is my performing arts classes in school. I can't play any instruments.
I agree with KoromoAmae, Powerdrone is very excellent at singing and a possible final round competitor.
I know I'm not very good at singing. I've noticed that I lack control in my singing. Pronunciation and notes are
messy and all over the place. If I manage to control my singing more I might have a chance too...maybe.
(Also, I finally found my song~ I won't say what it is...but just know I'm preparing to practice the song a bit first)

Of course.

I support me and my terrible singing.
I'll step back, sorry.
Main reason is that my microphone is not working properly and (by example) everytime I hold a note it seems that my voice fades away when I'm actually trying to sing louder. Well, that and much more microphone shit. I tried to get another one but failed, so yeah, sorry.

I wish I had more free time to practice more...I just went with a decent recording which I saved in case I couldn't practice enough of what I originally planned.
Well, we've got our five eliminated. Next round~ :/
