I'd just like to say that I declare mine entirely of the suckyness. I'm only in it for the constructive criticism, so that maybe one fine day, I won't scare people with my voice.

Hmm, someone liked mine! lol


So my vote is caught in between 14 and 21. There were a ton of really great ones, but those two caught my attention the most.

14: This is one of my favorite songs of life. I especially love the Celtic Woman version. You did an AWESOME job, and you really hit those impossibly high notes. I love everything about the vocals, and this was an incredible song choice! You pwn! Blew me out of the water, and it's the only one I really remembered after about 10 minutes. So huzzah for you!

21: I have no clue what you said, but it doesn't matter, because you sounded great. Seriously. And what's even better is that it's a guy that sings great, because to be honest, the majority of guy singers in this contest are just so-so. But you also pwned.


I think I'm going to have to go with 14 for the sheer OMGZWOWILOVETHIS factor, but 21 also captures my soul in little plastic baggies. (A good thing).

The person singing track #13 has an amazing voice, and I have absolutely no critiques for them, thus, my vote going toward them this week. Fantastic work, love. Please, please keep singing. <3

I know, I know... everyone be a-feared because the Jane had time to listen to the submissions for this week. So behold my bitchy, uncompassionate criticism! (Again I wrote these as I listened, and they are unaltered, 'cause I'm badass straight-up with you guys.) I'd link to my disclaimer from the last time, but I think you're all mature enough to take it.

1. Interesting, very strong voice. V. different quality in comparison to Amy. I suppose it being so different is a tad hard (for me, lol) - you have a much higher sound and definitely not the kind of depth required for the song, but you sang it well enough. Good job.

2. Nice song choice. Your voice is so quiet. Fuck that. I love the sound of your voice. It's not as polished as it could be, but you're very powerful. Watch the loudness of your voice in contrast to the music. I had to turn my volume up so ridiculously high just to hear you. But aside form that - well done. Sounded great!

3. Not familiar with the song. First person - You're amazing! Beautiful voice. Second person - wow! You guys have VERY different sounds, but both individuals have solid, strong voices, and because your voices are opposite in tone, etc., it was just great! It works. I think this was a great collaboration. Fantastic you two. Don't know who you are, but this was really lovely.

4. Wow. The voices this round are so nice! I like your voice, but you showed no power here. This is a real wussy song, in my opinion. This was the last chance for you to get a spot in the final week. And, with this song, I didn't feel that you wanted it. Good voice, but you should've stepped it up and brought your A-game to show me you cared.

5. O.o; Did NOT expect that voice. You're not flowing through the lyrics very smoothly, lol - are you okay? You sound so nervous - you need to relax!! You sound Russian too. I'm partial to Russians. (If I'm wrong, I'm sorry... jeez, but don't tell me if I'm wrong, I'll feel so bad.) You just sound so tense and you're singing so rough. It also sounds more like talking and less like singing. I would've liked to hear more emotion and passion from you. It sounds like you're holding back a lot. Let it out!! Don't be scared. Even if I do bite.

6. ::Piano orgasm:: Ew. Are you singing with someone else or are you singing over your own voice? That sucks... I DON'T like it at all. It's super hard to hear the individual quality of your voice... it takes away from the song... singing it this way. It was just a bad decision to have overlapping voices like that. I can't even get a read on you. The end was a little shaky and off.

7. First impression = you're holding back. It sounds like you just don't know how to use your voice. I'm sure you only think you can sing a certain way. There's more there. I can tell... Work at it and keep practicing. You sound sweet, and don't be afraid to sing differently from the original singer... that's probably part of your problem.

8. God I love this song. What is that!? Your voice sounds so --- oh... it's probably your mic quality. Sucks. Makes you sound so artificial. You do have a very nice voice. I just wish that you didn't have that weird effect on your voice. I liked this a lot... minus the shitass quality --> you sang it well, though. You were way too loud at some points... you don't always have to "yell" to get power. I really got that vibe from you when you went louder.

9. Your voice has really nice parts to it. I really like that. The low bits weren't sung very well. Pretty voice though, really v. sweet sounding. Good job, keep at it You need work, but you've got something nice to start with. You didn't do so great imitating Amy... make it your own thing... it sounded very contrived and bad when you tried mimicking her.

10. \m/ Cool voice. Yeah... guys represent! I like your voice. The voices are real good this week. Everyone's determined. :P You get points for the song and your voice is good, but it didn't blow me away. It's not quite as strong as some of the other I've heard so far. Really great job.

11. You sound real monotone; there isn't enough variety to your voice. I told someone else I don't think they know how they can you their voice. I get the same impression from you. Yeah, exact same thing.

12. So many tracks... ugh! You should've used the CMWYS track Dhamma included in the Week 1 submissions. It was terrible having Amy's voice in the background. Your voice is really weak sounding, especially in comparison. (That's one of the things where you make the decision to deal with that - Amy being in background - or just pick a different song.) It might just be me thinking that since Amy's there... You're lacking power and depth to your voice. You also don't sound like you know how to use your voice entirely. Once sound, that's all I get from you.

13. OOOooo. Piano... =^_________^= Your voice, babe, is fantastic. Right now, it's between you and the duet for me. You've got a great voice.

14. More piano... hooray! O.o This is different. OMG. I know this song. Wow. Cool. I like this, it's hard to really just hear your voice (sometimes it's not clear). I really like this thought - great job dear.

15. Jesus. When is the end... -.- 6 more man... 6 more... UGH! >.< 7 more!! I counted bad. Fuck. very different voice fo' sure. I really like your rendition. It's definitely you. And you sing it well... so well. I'm giving you props on that voice missy. Seriously, I love this, for whatever reason. Great job chica. Cool. Awesome job.

16. YOU sound Spanish. This... or wait, now you maybe sound Asian instead? anyway, it was interesting. You're not very smooth with the lyrics... only at some points. Your voice doesn't rock my socks like some others have. Something seems awkward, but I can't place my finger on it.

17. Sexy music. :P ::Impatience:: Sing already! --Good there. It just doesn't sound like you're singing. Just talking really fast in a tone you think is pretty. No depth, just nothing. You need to do more with your voice... there's no variety to it as it is.

18. Weird. You have a nice voice, but this is just not doing anything for me. It's sweet, but there's just not enough variety to keep me interested - sorry. Toward the end it sounded more like singing though.

19. Your voice isn't... it doesn't go together, lol. How to say that? It's not pleasant to the ear, because you don't sing smoothly. It's so awkward to listen to. The music has me pumped but your voice totally isn't giving me the same energy.

20. Ooh! I like this... I was kinda into it... your voice, though, gets boring to listen to for me. I was all like yay the first few seconds, but that feeling slowly died. You have a nice voice, but my energy shouldn't drop as the song goes on.

21. Last fucking one. Thank you >___< Another boy! Omg. Wow. You sound sexy my friend. Oh man this is hot. My ONLY criticism is that your voice doesn't always keep consistent and you do lack power in some parts. But you did surprisingly well when it came to that fast bit. I'd do you Nice job man!!

It is originally sung by Evanescence. The name of the one who does the karaoke is still a mystery.
