Idol KHV Idol!

I have just made noises no young man my age should make involuntarily... Broadway. I am happy. I am frantic because I have no clue what song I'll pick, but I'm happy.

For consideration:

I am not telling you what song to pick, but please, do yourself a favor by not just singing songs from Disney movies that are in Broadway plays. "Proud of Your Boy" is likely expanding your horizons, while "Friend Like Me" is probably not; they are from the same show, but one of them is not actually in the movie "Aladdin" and is very much considerably Broadway for that same reason. (Plus, you probably don't want to do the Broadway version of "Friend Like Me" anyway, because it's a bit watered down and they need to give Kevin Michael Richardson (Genie on Broadway and the voice of Gantu from "Lilo & Stitch" among so many other things) a little more credit)

If you're having a hard time finding a song that might fit something you want to convey or something that will fit your vocal style, then, by all means, shoot me a PM. I live for this.

Broadway has a long-standing history, varying musicology, and there is, I repeat IS something for you in this category.

Something else to consider:

I'll be voting based on technical singing, sure, but I'm also going to vote based richly on characterization. It's Broadway. To me, at least, this isn't a recital; it's a performance. (Technically, it's the definition of a recital if the group is small, but I digress.) I don't say this as a deterrent. I say this as motivation. Go well, and sing your heart out.

 

Broadway? BROADWAY?!?!? YYYYYEEEESSSSS!!!!!

Two questions:
1) Can we do songs from film adaptations of Broadway musicals?
2) Do songs from the Muppets count?

 

yes and yes :)

 

Hey all,
I haven't received any entries yet.
Let me know if you need an extension :)

 

Waiting for one more entry, then the voting thread will be up!

NEW GUIDELINES ARE HERE!

Theme for KHV Idol #5- Cartoon Theme Songs
Sing any theme of any cartoon! (anime is included in this!)
Entries due: Wednesday February 4
Happy Singing! :)
​

PS: Auditions for the X Factor are in my area next week, so I may be late getting the voting thread up. But the deadline is the deadline! Good luck!

 

I sent you a PM this time because Skype didn't seem to send the file. I really hope it's not meet again. -_-" Consider me in for this round though!

 

I got yours! I'm expecting another entry soon :)

 

Amethyst, I sent you the Broadway entry last night, where is the voting thread? (Thats right, I was the late entry, mostly due to the internet being down, stupid Cambodian internet providers...)

 

Sounds like it's no Holiday in Cambodia...: 3

Anyway, she's on the AEST [time] board. And it's about mid-afternoon for her. It could be up mid-afternoon for you, or late afternoon, or not today at all. It's conceivable she may not have time at the present moment; i.e., she has to put your audio into a video and upload it, AND make the voting thread. Just reassuring that things will probably happen, just try not to rush them. Also, I really wanted to make that Dead Kennedys reference.

 

I got your entry. I'm at work at the moment, so the thread will be up when I get home in a few hours. Sorry for the delay :)

 

Entry sent! Hopefully you all will enjoy what I picked out! :D

 

NEW GUIDELINES ARE HERE!

Theme for KHV Idol #5- Video Games!
Sing any song from any video game!
Entries due: Wednesday February 11
Happy Singing! :)​

 

Hmm, I got a lot of ideas for this round... This should be fun!

 

My darkest entry yet has now been sent! I am a little disapointed that I wasn't able to find a better instrumental... My entry would have sounded SSOO much better if all the electric guitars and the bass from the original were in the instrumental...

 

I am going to need an extension. In the middle of a big move, and my time/atmosphere to record is dismal.

 

You have an extension until Friday

Does this include songs like 'When Can I See You Again?', which were used in Disney movies?

 

Yep

 

SWEET! Expect my entry within the next 4 hours!

EDIT: OK, maybe not... I'll need to send it another day, since a fire took out the wi-fi of the building that has my recording equipment...
