If it is ok with everyone there are just a few things I want to say.
For starters, anyone who participated in this contest over the last six weeks is a winner. It takes guts to make yourself vunerable with something as personal as your voice, especially knowing that it will be critiqued and judged for all the world to see. Each and everyone of you has earned my respect.
As far as the equipment issue goes I am in somewhat neutral territory. For the people who stated that I sounded more raw because of very little editing, well that would be because there was no editing involved. I haven't the slightest clue of how to edit and honestly I didnt have the time or the inclination to find out. That being said, if I had had the equipment and the know-how I would have most assuredly have used it to my advantage. There is nothing wrong with having good equipment and one shouldnt be penalized one way or another.
I dont mean to single out one person here but I feel like it needs to be said.
Krissie, I can tell that this has been upsetting for you and that breaks my heart. For the record, I have seen Krissie (Alarandiia) in action and I have also had the honor and distinct pleasure of sharing a stage with her. With or without equipment she is amazing and most certainly an original talent.
OctoberWhispers, Wildangel, Alarandiia, Nagini, and Darko, we are all winners and I am honored to be amongst all of you. I think we should all get together and sing "We are the Champions" just for the hell of it.
