FFR Idol
Many people across all walks of life gather here today for a shot at something truly magical, stardom. To all of the shower singers and small time vocalists who never thought they could make it big, to all of the people who wish to see dreams come alive, we present to you... (Yes that's right, FFR Idol!) How is this all going to work? Essentially this will be an event lasting multiple weeks over three rounds. All you have to do is submit yourself singing within the criteria given for a particular round, and adhering to the rules. Your submissions will be judged by our panel (out of 10), with the highest cumulatively rated user after the three rounds being the winner. When all the submissions for a round are judged, all of the judgements and notes will be posted in this thread. Submissions will be appended to the above post as they come in. In the event users tie for a place after the final round, it will be up to the users to vote for their favorite of the tied parties! If you start participating in this event, keep in mind the dates when rounds end. If you submit nothing for a round, you will receive a rating of 0 for it. Any submission at all will be better than a 0, and you'll lose out on participation prizes if you submit nothing. If something serious comes up preventing you from participating, and we are made aware of it ahead of time, a personal extension may be granted. What are the submission rules?
Submission tips and guidelines?
What are the prizes already? Okay so I'm sure you're wondering what you'll get if you participate in this event. Aside from a chance at stardom, you'll have the opportunity to receive: 1st place: 75,000 credits, and your choice of two event, support, or tournament fundraiser tokens! 2nd place: 50,000 credits, and your choice of two event, support, or tournament fundraiser tokens! 3rd place: 40,000 credits, and your choice of one event, support, or tournament fundraiser token! Additionally, there will be a random draw of two tokens for those who didn't place in the top three. If you participate in all three rounds with legitimate submissions, you have a shot no matter what! Participants who submit all three rounds will also receive 5,000 credits apiece. Even if you don't feel like you're the next singer to take the world over by storm, give it a shot! Round information Round: 3 (A.K.A. The final song on the big stage) Restrictions: You may only sing a song which is on the FFR Songs list. Allowances: You may sing the entire length of any song you select. Current round ends: 4/11/2015 11:59PM server time Remember, if you submitted for the first and second round, please submit for the final one! You won't get participation prizes if you miss a round Example round 3 submission (Two Sisters [Heavy]): https://soundcloud.com/foxfire667/ffr-idol-example-submission-r3 Good luck aspiring idols, see you on stage!

Re: FFR Idol
Why would the max limit be 90 seconds when most songs are at least two and a half minutes

Re: FFR Idol
Because we're not having people do whole songs. Even on the show they're usually shortened versions of the song.

Re: FFR Idol
I can just feel it; we all suck at singing and we all agree it's better that way. Waiting for the skype karaoke thread.

I hope I can fit doing a recording for this into my schedule. Even if I'll get way outclassed, haha. P.S. I do still watch American Idol, but I don't know anyone else who is watching this season. Would be nice to have someone to chat with (not just at) about it, haha. EDIT: Oh, another question, if you can't find an instrumental version of a track but don't want to leave the lead bare, would it be okay to sing your own harmonies and stuff? The instrumental in the example submission has back-up vocals in it, so I imagine it should be okay, but it's good to ask. Last edited by Silvuh; 03-22-2015 at 03:00 AM.. |

Re: FFR Idol
Rounds, eh? I'm guessing that there will be an "FFR only" round considering that Round 1 has no song restrictions.

Re: FFR Idol
I watch American Idol, but I'll spare all the judges' ears my singing for this competition

Re: FFR Idol
It's too hard to get people from different time zones and with people's varying schedules together to do this as a live thing. As cool as it would be, it's just too hard to pull off.

I'm trying to post a link to my SoundCloud, but I've not posted in the forum before so it won't let me post a URL. I've been a member for like ten years though, is there anyway around that for this circumstance? Thanks!

Re: FFR Idol
Dream Theater isn't really known for the vocals. I think they're actually pretty bad.

I am actually quite a great singer, and these are not by my own opinions. But, I don't American Idol, so this is also something I wont participate with, but am happy to see the submissions!
