So You Think RPA's Got A Talented Idol Who Can Sing

[Nazgul]

We have all been blown away by the caliber of art and writing that gets presented here on RPA, and now comes a chance for all of us to blown away even more. (please note that the best way to blow away Naz is with a shotgun).

It's time for "So You Think RPA's Got A Talented Idol Who Can Sing" in which our members will get to show off their singing talents.

To enter, simply submit a link in this thread to your song by May 2

The Rules


All RPA rules are in effect.
All submitted songs must adhere to those rules and be safe for work.
Submissions may be in audio or video format
Songs with spoken word portions will be allowed as long as the spoken parts do not account for more than 25% of the vocals
Original compositions and/or parodies of known songs will be allowed.
You may have musical accompaniment with your submission if you so desire(please don't go overboard and have the London Symphony Orchestra back you up. Keep it simple. A single instrument, or in the case of parodies, an instrumental version of the song playing behind you)
As the judging will be based on the range of a person's voice and their ability to hit a note, we highly suggest you stay away from the rap and extreme death metal styles of music.
The vocals must be clear in the submissions. Submissions with music that drowns out the vocals will be discarded.
Songs will be judged by a panel of five judges. Three from staff and two from the members.
Member judges will be accepted by application on a first come first serve basis. It is very importance to consider, if you wish to be a judge, that some submissions may not be to your individual musical taste. You MUST be able to judge a song on the merits of the vocals and not on the style of music. Interested applicants should PM Nazgul.


So get those entries in. And good luck to everybody.

and stuff.

[Herr Gentleman]

Hehehe, this is embarassing, but, meh. xD

Meatloaf - Objects in the Rearview Mirror... but only verse 1 and chorus 1. A capella.

I think I killed it.

http://s1031.photobucket.com/albums/y380/choltrain/?action=view&current=OITRVM.mp4

Don't laugh too hard.

[Evil Troy]

Oh wow both of those are really good. Haha I'm not so sure about entering now.

[Anne Bonny]

*throws hands in the air*

You guys! Those were both so great! This is the raddest contest ever!

[Kris]

you two are really really good @_@

[Nazgul]

We need more entries!!! DOOOO EEEEEEEET!!!!! XD

[Princess C]

Naz, I would enter but the stupid peice of crap that I got for Christmas fell on the floor, and has yet to turn back on. It also made my voice sound off. Andddd I also lost it somewhere in my room.. :p

[Lúthien]

This thread needs less talk and more submissions.

[lain]

I'm working on an entry. I will edit this post and paste the link when it's done.

[Nazgul]

So we have all of our judges ready and waiting to hear more awesome submissions. And here they are; Anne Bonny, Merry Gentry, Kris, sir hatless and Shade.

[Cleopatra]

Alright, here's mine. Apparently because of the conversion system I used, there's a voice in there every 20 seconds or so, but I guess you can still hear the song well enough. If you can't then oh well I guess lol.

[Ace of Hearts™]

Why Don't You Do Right? You win. Automatically.

[Nazgul]

As we get entries, I will edit them into the OP of this thread just so thins are a little more organized

[lain]

Ah, I'll just post my entry here. I'm sort of mediocre compared to all you. XD

[G]

Alright, here's mine then...

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=443026722838

It's an original song - doesn't really have a name but yeah. Recorded on a digital camera at a live sort of gig thing... :)

edit: Err.. I forgot I kinda messed up in the middle there but oh well.

[Era]

It is literally called "Sleep Song." I have the tune wrong and it's acapella, but eh. I hadn't ever heard the actual version until after I made this.

[Fulgrim]

Ok you guy's have to be really nice here, here is me singing I dreamed a Dream by Susan Boyle.

once again be nice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

[Rho Aias VII]

Umm... I suck... But what the heck.

A Twist in my Story (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk3hocdidFY)

This is so not my best version... I wanna record another, but my camera is screwed. This may have to do in the meantime.

[Lúthien]

Ok you guy's have to be really nice here, here is me singing I dreamed a Dream by Susan Boyle.

once again be nice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

Thank goodness for ads disturbing that atrocity. ;)

[Fox Xalian]

Everyone is good! I wish I could record myself singing, I have been practicing my song but....no way to record it. I'll find a way and try to get it up

[Awean8]

This has inspired me to write a song.....Haven't done it in awhile so we'll see what comes out?

[Bia]

Imma enter. As soon as I can find a time when my family isn't around to bug me >.>

Maybe I'll employ the help of my friend Lizz, she's handy with the guitar...

[Awean8]

ignore this.

[Awean8]

I realized that I didn't really like the song I sang before, so here you go. I hope that it is a WHOLE lot better.

[Nazgul]

I kind of want to post this Yotube video I found XD

[Cthulhu]

Lets see if I can get this program to work and then I'll get something. I've been fidgeting between two ideas...a parody I've drawn up and a cover I wanna do.

I've only got a day to make up my mind soooo I'll get it up as soon as possible.

[Awean8]

Do it Naz. Do it!

[AngelicAsylum]

Getting my post up tomorrow (er, later today technically).

[Cthulhu]

Yeah Mine will have to wait until I get off work. I'd do it now but the rents are asleep X_X

Here's to hoping it stays open until after I get off.

[Wander]

adafhdgfsahg. Can't believe I'm doing this... Especially with this song. XDDD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXycRUTQev0

[Cthulhu]

Yeah no never mind XD I need to get a better Mic for my computer before I even TRY this.

I just recorded it and it came our horribly, too much background pick up.

I'll just wait until the next contest XD

[AngelicAsylum]

Yea, I know what it sounds like. Blame this on Necella (er Luthlasdfla or whatever she changed her name to) and Imp for literally forcing me to submit a song.

Sweeney Todd Soundtrack - Green Finch and Linnet Bird

http://www.mediafire.com/?v2czop7d6xh0v0n

Yea, you have to download the link, I'm sorry for that. My computer isn't being friendly today.

[Nazgul]

Angelic, you don't have a streaming link by chance do you? Really don't want to have to download it

[AngelicAsylum]

Psh, I see how it is. =P

My computer fought this the entire way but:

There you go! ^_^

[Lord Tully]

Ok you guy's have to be really nice here, here is me singing I dreamed a Dream by Susan Boyle.

once again be nice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

I know this is a touch late for this, but can I borrow your pickaxe?

[G]

Everyone's so good!!!
It makes you sad that in the talented world we live in, people like Justin Beiber still reign supreme... maybe we can have a 'who can digitally edit their voice to sound the best' competition next? XD

Also Sooo... out of curiosity, winners will be announced when?

[Merry Gentry]

As a judge, I am completely blown away but all the submissions!
You people are Absolutely Incredible! Thank you so much for singing for us!

[Kris]

Guys, you are so great @__@

[Insanity]

Like always, some are better than others, but all in all it's pretty high standard on the entries. It'll be interesting to see who wins :)

[Anne Bonny]

This is soooo hard to judge! You all were fantastic! I'm so impressed with the talent we have on RPA.

[Awean8]

The pressure is killing me. Dx

[Lúthien]

LMFAO ~rofl~ NO ONE WON. YOU ALL SUCK. ~lmao~

*ahem* :|

[Awean8]

The pressure is still killing me.

[Lúthien]

My guess is, the judges are waiting for the others who still haven't, uh, judged yet.

[Nazgul]

We're waiting on two of the judges at the moment. One is Shade and the other...well I would rather not name names and get fired XD

[Awean8]

Damn them. XD

[Nazgul]

Agreed XD In the meantime, here's awean8's Youtube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/awean8

[Awean8]

lol I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself perusing through my vids.

[Nazgul]

And now everyone else can too XD

[Awean8]

Wait, why were you even looking for my account in the place? XD
Someone's a creeper.....

[Merry Gentry]

Agreed XD In the meantime, here's awean8's Youtube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/awean8

stalker

[Ceres.]

-twiddles thumbs-

[Kris]

Wait, why were you even looking for my account in the place? XD
Someone's a creeper.....

I just looked for the song and there you were in youtube XD

[AngelicAsylum]

Maybe my voice literally killed the remaining judges. XD

[Ceres.]

... You know, I was going to tell Angelic that she couldn't have possibly, she was wonderful.

But now... I'm not so sure she hasn't killed them D:

[AngelicAsylum]

Yea I popped in about an hour ago and I was like "Oh no, my post was the last one! ...MAYBE I DID KILL THEM! D=" I'm traumatized. =(

[Lúthien]

Nonsense! Preposterous! I will hear none of this!

That said, the judges need to quit being lazy (and I mean the members who participated in judging)! That or find new ones!

[Nazgul]

We are waiting for one judge. Out of fear, I can't say who XD

[Ceres.]

safe to say it wasn't a member judge? xD

[Nazgul]

Most definitely possibly maybe XD

[Rho Aias VII]

I feel threatened looking at all these amazing entries.. O.o Excuse me while I go practise for another 3 years in hopes I might match this. :P

[Nazgul]

So...who wants to know who the top three were?

[Lúthien]

All of us?

I know I'm curious >.>

[Nazgul]

I don't sense much excitement there Neccy. XD Oh, and the trophies for the contest will be ready soon. Just need to find an artist, or figure it out myself(most likely the former) to do a little recolouring. So yeah. And you know, I feel like I'm forgetting something. Oh well, I'm sure it will come to me.

[Lúthien]

Do you need help with the trophies? C:

AND EXCITEMENT. EXCITEMENT. EXCITEMENT. EXCITEMENT. :XD:

[Nazgul]

Oooh, I would love some and thank you for responding to that oh so subtle(not) hint XD I'll shoot you a PM of what I have. Still feel like I'm forgetting something though...

[Lúthien]

Damnit Naz :XD:

Okay, well…I'll just sit here and wait for that PM XD

[Nazgul]
