Apparently, vibrato doesn't do well on my laptop's recording, because it ends up sounding like screeching... Merp. Oh well. Tough week, we'll see how I fare with the rest :(
sokerdude, the instructions were to mail the recordings to krisbliss. i'm not sure if everyone did that yet but i know more than just tolis sent a recording lol
Okay, there were two contestant's who never posted or mailed me their recordings. These two contestants are Emmaleigh and blogs. If you two did send me your recordings and I missed them somehow, let me know, and I will post them.
With that being said, here are the 12 performance that were sent in for this round!! Good luck everyone.
1. Akron - LOL omg I hate this song! I think the song suited your voice well though, but some of the high parts sounded a bit off. It was interesting to hear you sing something in Portuguese, you have a very nice voice but I have told you that before!
2. Gurlbai - LOVE THIS SONG! The beginning started off nicely but when the song got faster I wasn't sure if you could keep up, it didn't come off as easy as it should have for me and at times I think you were over-stylizing notes when they didn't need to be. I didn't expect you to sing a song like this so I am happy you went for something a bit different.
3. Wonderland - When I saw you were singing this song I was a bit nervous... but I was actually happy with how this came out for the most part. Some of the high notes sounded a bit off, but the lower parts were great!
4. Maxiphone - UhOh! Two people singing the same song, not that that's a bad thing I just feel when that happens they get compared to each other like a battle round. This was a PERFECT fit for your voice in the beginning of the song, you sounded great. I was nervous for you when the song got faster and higher, the first high note was off but then you really got back on the awesome train, with a few moments of okay. Good job Maxi.
5. Blackwidow - This song is one I actually love when people do covers. This was good, but I felt like you were holding back, or trying to sing in an accent? Idk something just was missing, I wanted more emotion. There also might have been a timing issue towards the end, I couldn't tell if that was the case of the version you found cut it weird. Overall, a good performance.
6. TripleXXX - Did you know that this album features Kelly's raw untouched voice, none of her songs were retouched at all! That said I don't think this was the best song to pick, however I do think it's an improvement from last week. The performance really lacked depth and range, you sang almost the whole song in the same octave. I think you need to work on that and pronunciation, the song was also a shaky at times, but like I said this is for sure an improvement from last week.
7. RJ18 - I love this song so much, they are awesome! There was some timing issues, and I am not sure if the song fit your voice. You have a great voice that is better suited for higher songs. It wasn't bad by any means, I just don't think it meshed well, it sounded like two different songs thrown together.
8. PrincessKK - This song is so annoying, in the aspect that I get it stuck in my head and can't get it out!!! The song does suit your voice tho, the slower/lower parts sounded great! But the faster parts def needed more work. It started off better than it ended, the end is just so repetitive I felt like you were slipping away, the cute giggle at the end made me smile tho :) Overall a good job.
9. Jermin119 - The beginning was really low it was hard to hear what you were singing, again it sounded like you were mumbling to me. I was waiting for it to pick up and get louder but it never really did. I think your voice sounded really good though, I mean from what I could hear, I really wish I could hear you better. The rap part? was good, I enjoyed that.
10. Zakaustin - gurlbai eat your heart out ;) Zak this was AMAZING. You took a popular song and put your own twist on it, I really enjoyed this, and you sounded great! I don't really have anything to say... besides the la la life part was annoying. But god the rest was so good I don't even care!
11. FlameonX - :O omg this was amazing too! The high parts were spot on, the low parts were great too. I was so nervous for you but my god!!!! There were a couple kinks and a timing issue at the end that maybe could have been worked out, but you really took this theme head on and weren't scared to go for a risk, it really paid off!
12. TolisKalkas - This is the Tolis we know! Much better than last week, I enjoyed this. You kept the emotion and energy alive right t
12. TolisKalkas - This is the Tolis we know! Much better than last week, I enjoyed this. You kept the emotion and energy alive right to the very end, and that is really important. I don't really have much to say, it was a very good performance.
13. Emmaleigh - This was a fun performance. It def needed more practice and I wish that the music wasn't so loud at times it was hard to hear you. Your voice sounded nice and innocent perfect for the song, but it was a little shaky, and rushed. You are too much of a busy bee emily! <3
It's going to be hard to rank this week, I think a lot of people stepped it up from last week!
UGH ya this is really hard!! No hard feelings please, I think all of you are amazing people and singers. Some performances really stood out to me more than others this week and that really came into my rankings. Good luck everyone!
