They're covers duh..
Yes, mixing and editing was allowed in the finals (although heavy use of autotune was very discouraged). If there was no mixing allowed they would sound very amateur and just overall low quality. Mixing makes it so that the songs sound like something you would actually want to listen to instead of just karaoke.
Not at all. It helps to formulate your opinion after hearing others' although it's best to keep your own tastes and deductions in mind.

why cant be this live in discord
For this competition it should essentially be like you're singing it alone in a room for us. No extra vocal layers, no effects, just a single continuous take of your vocal with an optional instrumental in the background.avalanche wrote:

Is it alright if we record our performance with a device such as a phone just so we can move to a low echo environment and then overlay it on the music? Does that count as modifying the entry? 
Topic Starter
Yes some use phones for various reasons. As the FAQ said, you can add instrumentals, just no editing your voice track.Incandescent wrote:

Ikanaide really doesn't do Will Stetson any justice, dud should've legit used his Hime Hime swing thingy instead.
They are all amazing entries.
Cant wait to see the results. I gave my vote to Thievley btw her voice is amazing

I voted for Renril, singing at that speed with that stamina requires real talent.
Total noob here but I actually took the time to listen to all of these entries for several times and I still can't decide whos the best, it's insanely difficult. Will sounds like a professional, the producing quality is great, and the voice is totally on point. Thievley and Renril both can't match that quality but Renril sings at an enormous speed, must be such a difficult song to cover (would love that song as a beatmap btw.) and Thievley gets props from me just for picking an English song, that's brave. Not to mention the great voice, of course.
It's a pain in the ass, someone help me?

It's honestly really tough to vote. I love all of these covers in one way or another. Send help.
Granted I don't usually like Will Stetson's covers, this one was pretty good.
You know what. I'll just vote for Thiev. I'm flip flopping all over the god damn place and I don't really feel right for any decision. But my first decision was Thiev and my "gut" is more likely to be right about the first choice. I feel like she wins here.
Kill me please. This hurts.
Kill me please. This hurts.
Renril oWo
I voted for Will. I listened to his earlier entries and was actually really surprised at how much praise he got. I really wasn't that big of a fan of those, but I really like his rendition of Ikanaide.
Renril's Rinne Tensei was really good, as well, but I had trouble actually understanding her. This is probably due to the loud background music and the speed of the song, but it is what it is.
Side Note: I really wished you could seek when listening to the music. At times I wanted to listen to a particular section again, but couldn't without listening to it from the beginning.
Edit: A friend of mine pointed out that Ikanaide and Rinne Tensei might be edited and I think he's right. With Ikanaide it's a bit more subtle, but you can clearly hear some reverb in the latter sections.

Lmao, I could tell that Will's was the most mixed but Renril's is a bit more saturated I would say just because of how active the instrumental is. Thiev has little or no mixing.
Oh and mixing and editing has been allowed in Finals for some reason.

Yes, mixing and editing was allowed in the finals (although heavy use of autotune was very discouraged). If there was no mixing allowed they would sound very amateur and just overall low quality. Mixing makes it so that the songs sound like something you would actually want to listen to instead of just karaoke.
Thiev's song can be a little bit better. It feels like listening to the recording room-version(without mixing) of the artist singing. The vocal is way too sharp, it can be a little bit more subtle, due to the song's music style, which is acoustic. Also the singing is slightly too fast. The balance of the volume of the vocal and the volume of the music is a little bit outbalanced, which the volume of the vocal is louder than the music volume.
Renril's song is pretty GOOD *weebmemes intensifies*. The mixing is nice too. The song is maybe a bit loud, it covers the vocals in some parts. Props to nice Japanese pronounciation.
The initial vocal sounds is pretty good, it reminds me of LiSA's voice. But then the stamina got decreased after like 5 seconds. Then I listen to the song again and again, there is some fluctuation in the power of the voice as of unavoidable human error. The part with crazy vocals effect of making it feels a little quiet, it uuuuh...covers your voice a bit. Everything else PRETTY GOOD *IDubbzTV intensifies*.
Now, Will, Yours' good too. The mixing is VERY NICE *pewdeepye intensifies*. The B,V,O,-ch- sounds is a little bit wide. Also a little 【行かないで】is a nice touch but a bit too fast.
I do vote vote Renril's tho. #osuidolfinalé
----------------As by any means, I'm not able to sing as good as that ever.------------------
I do like all of the entries. 'Cause I'm bad at singing. Haha!!

Being a largely uninvolved observer of the whole thing, I was absolutely blown away by Will Stetson's cover and voted for it pretty much immediately.

Thank you very much Thievley for singing in english, you have my vote.
Renril best girl
or Will Stetson :thinking:
or Will Stetson :thinking:
Also, my opinion :
Thievley -> The music were pretty cool, chill and relax *o*. The voice too, really cute and the accent is perfect ! But maybe, some times, the voice wasn't really good with the song. The high notes, the most. I think another type of music will be perfect, more "hardcore" i don't really know ^^. But really cool, continue like that :p !
Renril -> Just OMFG. The song is totally awesome, I REALLY like this type of music ! And your accent *o*.I'm in love with you... This could be an anime opening ! Just some times it's like Thievley... But rarelly. Your voice give me many feelings, and many chills. Per-fect !
Will Stetson -> THIS.VOICE.OMG !! I'm in love too ! And the song relax + your voice : Perfect match *o*. I could listen to this when i'll be in the car, or to sleep. Just perfect too ! I don't know what to say, the feelings that you give me, i like that *o* Juste ONE LITTLE THINGS : I think that if you'll try a little bit more rock's song, that would be SDFUBDGUIG in my brain XD
Also, i'm not a pro in music, or anything, that's just MY opinion. But, I'll vote for Renril.
-The voice, which is beautiful asf
-The song, I'm in love with those type of song
-The feelings, and THE CHILLS that you gave me *o*
2nd = Will Stetson.
-The voice, really beautiful and so cool

-The feelings, with your voice, really cool
3rd = Thievley.
-The voice, SO CUUUUUUUUUUTE <3

Oh my... Thanks to everyone who commented about my submission, all the feedback is much appreciated and I hope to improve a lot more in the future! Renril and Will are literally so talented, even I'm having a hard time choosing between them. Also, I second mapping Renril's submission wink
Its to Hard to Pick one of them
My thoughts:
I really liked Thievley's voice and was about to vote for her but the ending made me withdraw from doing so. Maybe, she should've sang a different song more suitable to her voice, but she did a nice a job. Didn't feel anything for the song but her voice does have potential. Nice try!
Renril's Rinne Tensei cover was just fun to hear. The song was quite loud at first but then I heard her voice and I was quite impressed. The song is definitely not easy to cover as you need a lot of breath power to sing for long and quickly, but at one point her voice became quite quiet I couldn't understand what she was saying. Regardless though, her cover made me go WOAH!!! >:O I want to hear more covers by her in the future <3. Renril definitely has a nice voice and I must say, that I was quite tempted to vote for her.
Will Stetson's Ikanaide made me nearly cry because of the feelings he expressed with his singing! I love the original song a lot but, he added life to the song somehow... His voice is so soothing and it has so little editing... Agh~ It just makes his cover so much more special. ;w; Simple but beautiful, Well done Will!
Conclusion: ~I was blown away by Will's sincere and heartfelt cover and although Renril's cover might probably win in the end, I'm still sticking with Will!~

Hi guys, I was so hyped to participate at the start of this but considering I was super inactive on osu! and I went even more inactive because of school I had to reconsider it :'v
At least I see the contest has been handled almost the same way as last year, but genres are more important! Also that's probably the reason I lost at semifinals last year because I didn't have much genres in my repertoire. The competition has been going so well, good job to everyone
My thoughts on the Final:
Thievley chose a good song that fits her voice pretty well but in the end she could have trained her notes more, it didn't seem too solid although I loved a lot of strongest parts.
On the other hand, Will's entry was strong and solid for having very good timing and tuning which made his stronger parts sound like he wasn't even making too much effort! This is probably what Thievley's entry could've been, and it could've been better because of higher notes in her vocal range.
What really made me think was Will's entry vs Renril's entry. Renril totally used all her voice's potential in a faster and more complex song with almost perfect tuning and comfort. Will could've exploited his voice for a song like this. Also it made me think how this is the kind of songs that every osu! player likes lol, neat!
In my perspective, you can do the best singing, but exploring the best songs for exploiting your potential might have been the key for the final rounds. Everybody really deserves to be at this point but I'm going for Renril :')

This was amazing on everyone's part. Thievley sang amazingly, however the song just wasnt right for her, based on how she sings. You did amazing though! <3
Now for will. Will was easily the best out of everyone else, however, i feel he exploited his voice with a perfect song. He did absolutely amazing though.
Renril was on the same par will was on, however i dont feel she exploited herself. However she did great. It was hard to pick between these 3 amazing singers.
So this is my vote.

Put on some really good headphones and listen to that last one. I was completely immersed in that song. Both the voice and the guitar worked perfectly, and the rain was a nice touch too.
