No worries.

Do we have to sing in the the song's style? For example, is it allowed to sing in a rock/metal way the pop/jpop song we'll have to sing? (And other way around?)

I didn't quite get that.

I think he wants to growl TATOE or something along the lines.

Choose a song already within the genre

I guess I'll enter, but I don't know how much the judges will appreciate the voice of an opera bass singer.

What would be the point of a stage with a specific genre if you didnt follow it, that would be disqualification. If its a Pop stage, you sing Pop!

woohoohoo! plenty of entries to dig in to and the month isn't even half way up yet, keep em coming!

I submitted an entry, but i deleted the track on soundcloud because it was the wrong track.

I'll re-submit one again, and please ignore my first entry message.

Thanks!

Am I allowed to splice different recordings of different parts or do I have to record the whole song in one sitting?

One sitting or disqualified.

Btw is it allowed to use remixed songs?

Oh lord I had no idea there was something like this...

*nervously pushes self to participate*

Just to clarify, are we allowed to give our own rendition of the song? As in, put our own twist on it as a kind of cover.
Submit our own interpretation and presentation of the song

SORRY. I made a few mistakes and re-submitted twice after my first submission. Is there a way to remove my previous 2 submissions and just keep the most recent one?

Oh man, it sucks because my rhythm problem is too obvious with the instrumental (to where I felt it would distract the listener from enjoying the song) so I actually resubmitted trying to put the acapella as the main submission, but then idk what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if I should've included the non-acapella one too and I ended up making a playlist?

But anyways, I'd rather just have the acapella cover as my main submission if it's not too much of a hassle... (unless I have no chance already )

Sorry for the inconvenience!!

Am i supposed to say here about the echo mic and all that?
Cause my mic isn't echo but stops catching voice if I move only a bit(and i use that so i hide the breath xD) , I noticed that some endings look a bit like they are cut. Maybe it's just me being paranoid not to get disqualified cause of mic ;_; . Let me know if that is a problem and I will record again without moving.

just to get this clear, if we do make it to the first stage or any stage for that matter, do we just get notified to make the recording within the week?

If it's like last year, you sort of just have to check the thread/google doc regularly if you want to know if you to the next round

Theres no way of notifying everyone unless sending a crapton of forum PMs which will take a while. Either check this thread regularly and/or follow our twitter.

Are we allowed to add samples? The song I'm planning to sing has samples and it's just incomplete without it.

uuuh what samples? bgm? vocals?

Vocals. It won't affect my voice in any way, it's just that the original song has those samples and that it sounds strange to me without it.

You can't really do something against THAT kind of background noise. Except for recording in a quiet environment to begin with.
The thing in the rules specifically refers to the random noise that most microphones will record along with your voice due to the natural fault of the recording technology.

Yo can anyone link some good sites for karaoke-songs that don't sound like complete shit (if those even exist)? xd

Well Even if I make through Stage 1, I won't submit for Stage 2 (or at least it'll be quite bad), as I can't sing Pop at all >.>

No restraints, you have to pay Stefan back.

Starting to evaluate the entries, yes it will be visible during all this.
To whoever was DQ'd - no second chance. If you believe this is incorrect me with valid reasoning.
And as for those who have their entry under question (in yellow), either me about it or I will do so.

I've added a poll regarding finals. Which way do you think would be better for the community to decide during the finals? Rate all finalists on 1~10 scale or choose one?

Poll is also available on twitter.
https://twitter.com/osu_Idol/status/745588169568034818

personally fwiw i think just having them pick the one they like most would suffice instead of doing 1-10 on the hundreds of votes they will get.

Agree with ztrot, relative rating can easily lead to the least "bad" person winning instead of the best.

Why don't you like yugoslavian breakup music? :^(

Cuts are like, when you are singing a song and you kinda screw up a sentence mid-way, so you decide to edit the messed up part out and sing from there again and edit the new sung sentence in using software.

Or simply you want to perfect the song and you just make a cut for every sentence of the song.

Mfw I did a better try doing in one shot than the one I did with cuts xD

Yep, do it all in one go.

If you mess up, you can always just restart recording. Cuz You still have 10080 minutes left.

We seem to have a couple of entries from s ed 2-3 weeks ago with no play data, I'm not considering on letting them take part for obvious reasons.

maybe submitting on second cause they don't want to show their voice?
if so then what's even the point in entering? (not to mention would be multiacc)

Although I didn't get DQ'd, I really don't understand why cutting is against the rules. Anyone who is decent at mixing can do proper cuts that sound continuous. Also I don't consider it even against the original rules?

vocal layering/harmonies/reverbs/autotune/effects/other mixing fx are not allowed

Not sure if cutting was supposed to fit under here, but I don't consider it mixing fx.

Also

Submissions can be mixed down if an instrumental exists.

My submission doesn't contain an instrumental mixed in. Nor do some others that have been accepted. But either way it wouldn't be considered breaking the rules because it doesn't specify that it isn't allowed.

I just think these DQs are silly, and the rules are not very clear at all.
