@ 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... :D

@ 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... :lol:

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.

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.

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 :D

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.

Oh wow, really? I'm hardly good at all, honest xD

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)

Urmmmm, just wondering, is it possible to change the song I chose to sing? No, I still haven't recorded anything but I sent the PM about the song some time ago. ;_;

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.

I'm having some problems uploading the tracks. Once they're uploaded, voting will start. Sorry for the delay.

I wouldn't let a terrible microphone deter me from recording. My submission for this round sounds awful. About half of that is due to the state I need to be in to actually use a gritty voice, but the other half is the ridiculously bad headset I have.

The whole point is to have fun, so don't let bad equipment hold you back. Just enjoy singing the song and send it in.

I use my laptop mic and my quality isn't very good either... it sounds really messed up whenever I sing really loud notes (but some of you probably already know that xD)

oh and

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE :)
