As a reminder, I can't sing at all and almost all of you are way better than anything I did in the first season. But I have to offer some criticism because that's my job. madhack Your rambling is adorable, particularly when you make mistakes. Again, it's probably too long, but it's much better when you add all your commentary after the song so we can each choose our own individual breaking point. I, personally, watched the whole thing because it's my lunch break at work and I feel like it's my duty as judge to sit through the entire performance of each contestant. You're actually fairly funny, although the random muttering tangents should probably be limited. Again, though, I need to remind you that the focus of the competition is the singing. Your doing an all-encompassing performance, and that's great, but don't get so distracted that you forget what talent you're supposed to be most expressing. Your voice is the critical factor in this. And honestly, during the chorus, it wasn't that bad. But the rest of it? Yeah, it kinda was. And the further you got into the song, the less you paid attention to your singing. I have to dock points for that, there's no way around it. But you put a lot of effort into this, and I think that deserves commendation. It won't be enough to carry you into a win, but it certainly puts you above several of your competitors. I will say...don't do weird voices. Or drink water during your video. Or do other mundane things during your video. Like texting. Speaking of texting, disable the sounds on your phone when you press buttons. Those are annoying. SFGP This was a little weird, not gonna lie. You kinda whispered through most of the verses, and then you randomly started yelling and completely missing notes in the chorus. I will say there were brief moments where you were doing exactly what I think you should. In between those high notes, you were actually pretty much nailing it. Unfortunately, that was only for about a second at a time, and then you'd go and try to hit a high note and lose me again. ![]() There's a sort of in-between here that you need to reach for, and if you can hit that, you'll be solid. The mumbling whisper stuff doesn't do it for me. Your voice isn't bad there, but it also isn't particularly entertaining. The high notes are bad for the opposite reason. But if you can aim for something that's energetic without being too OTT, you'll be able to do fairly well in this thing. This performance was certainly a step up from last week, so I want to see those improvements continue. aff You're right, this wasn't quite as strong as your last submission. But it's still neck-and-shoulders over anything I expected to hear. Again, every note wasn't perfect, and you need to avoid whatever you're doing to your microphone that makes loud scratchy sounds in the middle of the song. It'd also help if you were a little louder. But your voice is beautiful and you can really do some pretty amazing things with it. I can't see you going home anytime soon. The main advice I'd give is not to be afraid to mix it up and give us something we're not expecting. You're currently a front-runner in this thing. Use that position to take a risk and really wow us. Ultimately, this song wasn't as fun as your last one, and I don't think it's anywhere near as fun as you're capable of. Nick I can tell you didn't really pay much attention to my suggestions last week. As a result, this is going to be fairly repetitive. Again, you chose a song that moved too quickly for you, which left you behind the lyrics. The stuttering was embarrassing. I understand that's a tough thing to replicate without any digital assistance, but if you can't come anywhere close to pull it off, you really shouldn't try to do it at all. You were just muttering and constantly struggling to keep up with the song. I don't know what the next theme will be, but if it's what I suggested, it will be your chance to do something way different and give us something impressive. Slow it down, focus on your voice rather than the lyrics, and try adding a little variation. By about the 3rd time you garbled through "your b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-boyfriend" I was ready to kill myself. Sorry. alexi This was surprisingly entertaining. I can't exactly put my finger on why, but there was something fun and vaguely funny about it. Maybe it's the fact that your voice is so deep and inappropriate for this song. I don't know, but I liked it. I'll admit it got slightly repetitive at a few parts, but you seemed to pick up on that and try to change up your voice a bit when it started to happen. I don't know what those random pitch changes are that you went for, but they kept my attention and they kept me engaged. "low-a-low-a-low-a-low-a-low-a-low-a-low-a-low-a-low-a-low-a-low" ![]() I really like how you went in a completely different direction from last round, and if you keep alternating like that, you'll have us thinking you're providing something new and totally refreshing every round, and I think that's a formula for success in this thing. josseppe Your voice was really...harsh here. Kinda hurt my ears. It's not like you were yelling, but it just had this uncomfortable bite to it. I honestly think you really need to go for a song that's more appropriate to your voice. That might have been tough to do this week, but if you make it any farther, that should be your focus. I'm not really sure what to say about this performance. It was boring at best, grating at worst. The thing you did on those "eeee" notes was pretty hilariously awful, though. Alffy For a second I thought this would be horrible, but you immediately won my heart with all the interesting and completely entertaining things you did in your voice. It did sound like you were drunk, but I assume that slur was more the result of your song choice and your accent. ![]() You've got one thing none of the other male competitors have in this, and that's a truly unique voice. Keep using that. You can afford to take risks with it (like you did repeatedly in this song) and know you can rebound even if it's not perfect. There's something fun about your performances, and you have a high energy level that really draws in your listener. I want to suggest starting off a little reserved so you can build up to your climax in the later choruses...but this song kept me engaged the whole time without doing that, so I'm not sure that's even good advice for me to give. Lil Your voice is so 60s. It's definitely different than what anyone else is offering, and that's a major plus in my book. You're able to hit high notes while making your way fairly well through the regular majority of the verse, and there's enough variation in your performance that I never got anywhere close to bored. I really don't have any criticism for this. It was a good song choice, a good performance, and a good level of charisma throughout the song. Once again, I'm very much looking forward to what you give us next week. FO I echo the opinion that the harmonies are quite impressive, given the practical limitations you were working with. Technically, this was the best performance of the round, no question about that. "Man, I'm tired of singing" was pretty awesome. I don't know if that's in the original song, but if it's not, then major props for that. I can't say much about the actual voicework, which is the focus of this competition. When it comes down to it, you've gotta show us that you can do with your voices something that rivals the technical mastery. But this early in the competition, I have to admit this is more than enough to get you through. I don't think you deserved Bottom 3 last week, and I don't think you'll end up there this round. This was fun, and if I had liked the song, it probably would have been really enjoyable. RANKINGS (for this round's performances only) 1. Alffy 2. trickmind 3. aff 4. FO 5. madhack 6. SFGP 7. alexi 8. Josseppe 9. Nick |

Are judges and the host allowed to vote? Sorry if that has been asked somewhere already. Meh I thought I turned in a decent performance, but I don't feel confident since only the judges even posted about it. |
