Rudy you're not pissing me off. I haven't watched more than 20 seconds of any video he's done.

Omw Josseppe. Are you afraid to sing high or something? It would've been better  :wacko:

MY VOICE DOESN'T GO THAT HIGH

My voice kind of sucks if I try to go too low I think. Joss's Delilah! :<3 You actually get better as you keep singing. (Except for the whoa whoas at the end. )
Crazyalexi Start following sounds better each week. :<3

aff you are sooo ridiculously talented...that was incredible, forrealzies. For me that was the best performance out of all three rounds so far. You rock!

Alffy I legit think your Stacy's Mom is better than the original :lol: I mean DAMN that was good. Really really good.

Joss you sounded really good as the song went on I felt. I think a Johnny Cash song would be great for you since he's got the whole deep voice thing going for him. (You could have done "A Boy Named Sue" by him this week!)

crazyalexi I thought that was a unique spin on Iris :<3 I wanted to switch to that yesterday, amazing song.

Thanks UD...I have a problem with staying in tune and find myself pulling back a lot :wacko:

GP you have a nice tone to your voice and the choruses were the only thing in tune.

madhack you are getting fatter and more disgusting each week. I'm sure your parents are so proud of you.

I heard Alffy's a couple days ago I'm not saying anything in public.

The rest I could give a fuck about.


The End.

Funny thing is I don't think Madhack and UD even look all that different from each other. :shrug Generic white American males with brown hair.
Caught up on the funny Madhack videos now. :<3

SFGP, have you ever tried, if you use audacity, turning the tone down? I think it would be easier for you to stay in tune and you prob sound a lot better with it lower!

My favo (besides mine obviii) was Alffmix that was sexy!!

Am I the only person that thinks a fine frenzy didn't actually sing, and just let a Youtube cover of Stay Beautiful play the entire time? It's not that hard to tell...

That's the thing I hate about ORGs the most. It's a bloody job without getting any money. Basically, you're trading a large junk of your social life for online cred in a forum of 50 people.

madhack

First of all, alol so much at whoever called your growl a "Chewbacca roar". It was the highlight of the performance for sure. To be honest, the first few minutes of this were dreadful. Your strength is in using the format of your submissions to connect to the audience. You didn't do that here. And it's not just because you kept it brief this time around. I honestly think your roommate had something to do with it. He was distracting and you were far too aware of his presence. You didn't need to justify your song choice as much as you did, it's really not obscure and it offered up the potential for you to do something really interesting and different.

Unfortunately, that potential was for naught. You stayed in the same voice you had for your past two songs, and that was a disappointment for me. I wanted to see you embrace the harsh, gravely tone and really go with the theme. But the entire thing fell flat and was pretty forgettable. You actually found a decent spot at the end of the song (for your final chorus after the 4-minute mark), but prior to that, the vocals were just a mess.

I'd also advise against 40-second intros where you're just bobbing your head. Either use that time productively, or figure out a way around it.

SFGP

I think this might have been your best submission thus far. You're moving in the right direction. No, you didn't hit most of the notes. But we got to hear you do something with your voice that we hadn't yet heard, and it's moved you up a lot in my rankings. You kept things varied and interesting the whole time through, without ever losing me in the repetition of the song. Oddly enough, you were actually pretty strong on the high notes, they stood out amongst the rest of it.

There was a point where you fell behind the song, so watch for that in the future. A little more practice and advance preparation might help you avoid those slip-ups. I think this was certainly a good song choice and you did exactly the right thing with it. So keep putting that sort of careful though into your performances and I think you could really end up surprising us.

aff

I'll be honest with you - I don't like Fleetwood Mac. And under normal circumstances, the lack of musical accompaniment in a song like this would really lose me.

But this was terrific. Vocally, I think this was the strongest performance the competition has seen. You set the bar there. You definitely have skill and a certain charisma and heart in your voice. You're best when you go for softer notes and really try to infuse that sort of pained quiver you've got going there. That's what draws me in, and it makes me want to not only hear more, but know more about the person delivering the performance.

With a complete lack of instrumental accompaniment, an awful song, and no fanfare, you managed to win me over 100%. Great job.

alexi

This song made it clear that your voice is perfectly suited to country, and as little love as I have for the genre, that's what I want to hear you delve into soon. I think you could actually give us something really powerful if you did that.

I will say you definitely went before your time last season, and I'm glad to hear you performing this go-around. Avoid high notes. You can't hit them, and you can't afford to take the risks until you deliver a really solid performance that wows us and cements your place. But this was close to accomplishing that. I don't think what you gave us was anything like the song was intended to be. But that's fine with me. You gave it your own spin, and that can help you stand out.

The last note was awful, and you need to work on building up throughout the song as well as throughout the chorus. You were a little all over the place with your intensity, and while that was interesting, it also made you sound a bit amateur.

josseppe

Terrible song choice. The fact is, you have a very specific type of voice and you refuse to recognize that. If you survive this week, you need to make a choice. Are you going to keep doing the songs you like and continue to deliver completely off-the-mark performances, or are you going to embrace a genre more suited to you and make a stand? That's up to you, but I will say I'd really like to see the latter.

This whole thing was pretty bad. You didn't necessarily hurt my ears at any point, but compared to the other performances we got this round, it was dreadful. The thing is, I don't even know that you're not getting better. But the curve is not good enough. You need to make a huge leap, and it's not going to come from a song like this.

Alffy

I know every week I comment on your accent, but it's the one thing you have on everyone else that no matter how hard they try, they won't be able to replicate. You seemed to embrace it here, and it took a fun song and turned it into something I've never heard before. That's a powerful tool in a competition where everyone is looking to stand out and entertain. You've got a natural charisma that I think is unmatched in this thing, and you combine it with an interesting voice that is more than capable of hitting the notes it needs to hit.

What I liked the most about this submission is that we really got a glimpse into what your voice can do, and I found myself completely satisfied with the results. The bit tacked onto the end was both hilarious and a great way to show off the variety you're able to do. Vocally, aff might have some chops that you don't, but you're blowing everyone out of the water when it comes to delivering performances that I wouldn't mind listening to again and again.

I really don't have any advice for you. You nailed it.

trickmind

No one else could have pulled off this song, that's for sure. I've said it before and I'll say it again - you have the most unique voice in this competition, and that truly counts for something. You're also incredibly consistent, and as much of a strength as that is, it can leave your songs feeling a little repetitive and dull. This one allowed you to avoid that pitfall with all the natural variation that comes with it, but it's something to keep in mind because it's an issue you'll have to work out week after week.

I will say I absolutely loved the "Life in plastic, it's fantastic" bit. Don't be afraid to take risks like that where you drop pretense and give us a little of that charisma and charm you clearly have. It not only mixes up the performance, but it reminds me that I'm listening to a human being. Detachment is another natural result of your type of voice, so do what you can to maintain that link between you and your audience.

RANKINGS
1. TIE aff
1. TIE Alffy
3. trickmind
4. SFGP
5. alexi
6. madhack
7. Josseppe

I'll amend this when we get FTO's submission for the week.
