A top banana idea to have everyone sing Bring Me To Life, I'm sure people will be able to make it their own, even with the same backing track!
Good luck you lot, sure you won't disapoint. :cool:
Also, Lol @ "EPIC FINAL BATTLE ROYALE"
Blood will spilt, tears will be cried! Lungs will be ...Breathed!

Congratulations everyone! :D
Everyone will be singing Bring Me to Life! Great idea for the final week Dhamma. What better way to have an EPIC FINAL BATTLE ROYALE then with the song that made Evanescence famous? Does it get any better than this? I submit that it cannot!
I hope we'll be having another one of these soon, I didn't get a chance to enter this time.

I suck ass at that song. We don't have to do the rap do we? o.O

Sweet Action! Everyone sounded awesome in this week's contest. I really did love the duet. Congrats to Wildangel, Alarandiia and Mel!
I was track 13 :cool: Thanks for the constructive criticism everyone.
Man, I am really really nervous about this last week. :eek: Tough competition.
O wellz, I will still have fun doing it. I loved this contest, it has kept my busy apart from being a student and having a job and schtuff. :p
EDIT: Lol at Darko, I was thinking the same thing. "What the crap am I supposed to do at the rapping part?!" :eek: :eek: :eek:
Then again, I did say one other week that I would surprise everyone by rapping...

I just recorded mine. Since it's the only opportunity I'll get to do it. My family are distracted by the tv, and it's turned up pretty loud. My brothers just had an operation and he's home all the time, and so is my mum, and I hate singing in front of her. I just sang horribly quietely. Sort of pissed that I don't get to sing properly - I should just grow some balls and not care. :/
I'll just fail horribly. Or not enter. XD
Since everyone's familiar with our voices will we be identified this week?

I have that same problem. trying to sing quiet and such cause I don't have enough guts to belt it out in front of people around here. Not sure when Ill get my version recorded. I totally suck at this song. So we'll see.
Thanks for the votes ya'll.

When Brittany and I devised our evil plan last night, we knew this was not going to be easy. It's not an easy song to sing for anyone (to sing well). As I said to Brit, this is going to separate the men form the boys (so to speak). ;)
Get your A-game on and good luck everyone!

It's interesting you should say this is such a difficult song to sing because it is probably one of my strongest songs live(along with the song I entered this week too).Funny how that works sometimes..:p
Anyway, Congrats Mel! I'm so glad you are in the finals.You have a great voice and deserve to be in here. Good luck to all this weeks contenders.
This was tons of fun even with the less than flattering comments some felt it necessary to leave. I'm anxious to hear the final products ladies...:D
Oh yeah and I was #15 this week for those of you who did not know.
Hope
09-26-2006, 10:29 AM

I'd totally do the rap part for you. You know, if I had a mic and all ;)

Alarandiia asked if she could add on the 'live intro' bit that Amy did on the ABH DVD. I said yes. So if others want to add that part, they are free to do so. However, it's not a requirement and will not count against you if you don't.

Thank you for adding that, I was gonna mention it as well.
You guys rocked this week, Mel I totally loved yours and Karen you know how much I believe in your ability, I really want to get you into the studio here and so does George!
Good luck everyone this week, I'm definitely amongst some very awesome talent, and may the best win! I know this song is definitely a challenge for me!
Thanks for everyone's votes as well, even though I'm a dumbass and added the ID3 tag info to the MP3 which I didn't even catch until someone pointed it out to me. Habit I guess haha
Nagini
09-27-2006, 08:51 PM
Oooo that live intro will be awesome. Are you gonna plunk it out on the piano, or you have the karaoke?
O well, I will know when I hear it! :) sounds awesome!
Wildangel
09-27-2006, 08:58 PM
I can't wait to hear what everyone has to offer this week for the finals. I have mine recorded and almost finished putting together. I'm not overly sure about it because this song is very harsh for my voice. But I at least gave it a shot.
Nagini
09-27-2006, 09:15 PM
Hehe, I am kind of afraid to put mine out cause I will get my but whooped, I don't have a lot of time to record. I do it when my roomie is gone so I don't disturb her. :cool:

Same here. I work 10 hour days and finding the time to do this is just one of my problems. My biggest whine at this point is that mercury_amy and I went to the Staind, Hinder, Three Days Grace concert last night and the cigarette smoke made me sooo sick. Not to mention the fact that I can't hear anything over the constant ringing in my ears. Great show but NOT great for karaoke. I may just forfeit this one guys. [/EndWHINERANT]

I hadn't been on the board if like, forever, and then I come back on and find this contest but we were all voting on week 5 already. That sucks, I so would've entered (although I'm not sure if I would've won at all - some of you guys and gals rock pretty hard). We should definitely do this again sometime. It's good fun. :)
Good luck to you final round competitors! I'm really anxious to hear more of all of you and it was fun listening to everyone who didn't make it to week six!

Yeah, I'm deciding not to submit for the final, I can't get it to the standard I want to because I can't sing properly because EVERYON IS ALWAYS HOME. If it was next week I probably could. But yeah. :( It was really nice to win the week that I did, but it would taint it for me if I then entered and everyone was like "well how the fuck did SHE get a place in the final?"
So yeah, good luck everyone else.

I feel the same way Darko. I had one hour to record this song. My voice does NOT suit it, but I'm going to submit it anyhow.
Nagini
09-28-2006, 04:49 PM
Darko, no one will ask "how the fuck did she get in" because, simply... you rock. No questions asked.
Jane
09-28-2006, 05:01 PM
I understand that all of you are having difficulties finding time to record and feeling less confident now that you're in the finals, but I just have to say that hearing several of you talking like that is really depressing me. I was looking forward to the final week and I really wish you were all participating. :( Less competition = a much less fun contest for the rest of us. ::Sighs::
Melanie
09-29-2006, 07:53 AM
Well Jane, I hope you are into masochism. ;)
I finally submitted mine against my better judgement. It's horrific. That being said, I have never been one to back down from a challenge and I am not gonna start now. Consider yourself warned.

We need to have caution warnings before each song. Listen at your own risk :) Just kidding.

Oh yeah, you guys just can't carry a tune if you had three buckets on each arm. :rolleyes: I'm sure all of you are just being SERIOUSLY hard on yourselves. Maybe they won't be AMAZ0NG, but jeez... y'all sound like we should expect dying cats with forks in their eyes. Man.

haha. I thought the same about mine. I have two versions that I did. I didn't care for either one of them.
