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

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 Garven-United.
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~ :/

It would be a real shame if we were just out 5 submissions like that.
That would be me ... 'cus my microphone decides to work one day then not the next orz >_<
So did the rest of you guys manage to send your recording yet?
Topic Starter
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)

Yeh umm. If I live to the next round, I'll see if I can't hang around in the office till 8pm or so, so I can sing full voice. Because these quiet ones really aren't working...
Same issue I'm running into; mostly singing too quietly so it's hard to hold a note without wavering.MetalMario201 wrote:

Judging done. Powerdrone, Neo@lex, Jarby, MetalMario201 and Mashley sadly have to leave this round.
For this round, the voting was the same as in osu!Idol 1 as to make things more balanced. Well, that was a failed try.
Also, the results are kinda hilarious. I think by now we should accept that this contest just isn't meant to be taken seriously. =p
EDIT: waitaminute MB and Neo@lex have the same amount of points. Uh. Alright, since it wouldn't be fair to throw out another person after it was officially announced that that person would get to go on, I'll give both of them one more chance.
EDIT2: Oh, and yeah, Ephemeral is too sick to judge.

HI LIAM
I am also surprised I did decent... I was kinda hyper when I sung the song and wasn't sure if I did a good job... I only realized after I was a bit slow on the main part 687-5309 and I was worried I was going to be eliminated.
I still don't see how I did better than Haneii and some other people...
I'm liking some of these entries though a lot (especially Lanttu she sounds great)! And yeah, the judging is still kinda all over the place xD

i'll judge the next round with a grip tighter than a 13 year old kid browsing the internet at 3am
Woot, passed even with a 2 and a 3 vote (somehow).
Kinda wish there was commentary behind the votes, but I'm sure they'll be there for the later rounds.

Ya, agree, I really think you performed well this time, and imo, doesn't warrant the low scores... Maybe yours was too loud ?Powerdrone wrote:

Yeah, there really should be comments each round for the future at very least. The results this round make little sense in many cases.
ITT: Some weird ass judging. Again. A little better than last time but HRNNGG.
gkljwrnogkonworpkgnhw I shouldn't have submitted that take it was fucked up
i submitted comments for the first round where i judged but larto never posted them
i wonder if i should go back and retroactively judge this round's participants anyway

I'd also like to know how the hell I got to the next round with a terrible submission like that.
But I shouldn't be this negative. I'm kinda lucky I made it to the next round even with exams going on. Well, I'll be waiting for the next theme and hope to do better than all the submissions so far.
Apparently, you were right, Larto.

electronica? BT, armin van buuren, frankmusik, hell any type of music which places its emphasis on the 'electronic' sounds (phase vocoding, sample stuttering, flangers etc)

Disregarding that, I wonder if everyone is doing okay with finding a song.
Finding a song in an electronic music genre should be really, really easy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_el ... sic_genres
Click through some of them. I recommend looking at Synthpop, Eurobeat, and Happy Hardcore (jun loves that one).

You shouldn't reveal what artist you're choosing. I think that might be against the rules.
Ehh, people knowing the song ain't gonna change anything...
It's the score's at the end, ain't it?

I think most of the issue is judging bias for song obfustication, though at this point everyones voices can probably be easily picked out anyway.MarioBros777 wrote:

I'm working on mine right now. Should be done in a bit...
Mine fell apart.
And I don't have that much of a vocal range.

I am having a lot of trouble finding a song...
I don't know many 'electronic songs' unless the genre is really as broad as I think, and a lot of the ones I DO know have little/no words (stupid house music!).
I will keep looking and try to have something in by Friday...

I was busy the past few days so I couldn't get a good, lengthy entry.
I don't know which of my songs are acceptable (Larto hasn't messaged me back yet) for the genre or are taken so I recorded 3 different ones and am ready to send in any one of them!
Sent mine a few days ago now and haven't got a reply yet either. Must be busy with something or another
