    Default SPCNET Idol 2 - Background Music Division 3

    SPCNET Idol 2

    After a rather memorable singing competition in May this year, where we discovered the tasty goodness of cheesecake, SPCNET Idol is back for the second season.

    I would like to thank spcnet for kindly donating $20 to the winner of SPCNET Idol and for being so supportive of this competition. Despite his plea to remain anonymous, I am sure you will all recognise that netdriftr is again helping me host this competition, just like the days of Actress Battle Royale, only with less bit-… I mean, conflict.

    Everyone who entered deserves a round of applause. The entries are amazing!

    I am sure most of the contestants would appreciate constructive criticism, but please also recognise that we are mostly amateurs here and for a lot of people, it is their first time recording or mixing. Everyone really entered for fun- and some of them only did so to support me (cough blackmail) - so keep that in mind when you comment on the entries.

    The following CRITERIA will be applied for voters:
    Join date must be earlier than the 24th of November 2007
    Post count must be greater than or equal to 15

    All entries are located at
    http://www.blankie.net/spcnet

    All polls will close in 6 days time. Please check the polls for the exact time.

    Finalists are to submit their entries by the end of the 3rd of January 2008 Pacific Time.

    Background Music Division 3

    BGM3NO1 - Iris -male
    It's called Iris and it was originally performed by the Goo Goo Dolls. I picked this song because I've always liked the lyrics. My reason for entering is purely a business transaction. So I'm already a winner =)

    BGM3NO2 - Not Me Not I
    I have always loved Delta Goodrem’s music and the song ‘Not Me, Not I’ is one of my favourite songs from her first album. Obviously, I cannot compare my rendition with the original, but I hope you enjoy listening to it anyway.

    BGM3NO3 - When the grapes ripen
    I chose this song primarily because I'm a fan of Eason and I really like this song. The lyrics, too, were a tad bit meaningful, so I thought I'd just go with this and voila! Here's an entry. I present to you this song, and I hope I didn't butcher it in any way.

    BGM3NO4 - Iris -female
    Recorded on a frigid, chilly December afternoon after some delectable cheesecake (no I am not Sugar, and my singing definitely shows that) and hot chocolate, this is my attempt at the Goo Goo Dolls' number-one single "Iris." Originally sung and written by Johnny Rzeznik for the movie City of Angels, I first heard this song while "borrowing" my friend's iPod; since then, I've been absolutely in love with it (and how could you not love a song with the lyrics "you're the closest to heaven I'll ever be"?), so excuse my sub-par girlish rendition of it.

    BGM3NO5 - Trai Tim Binh Yen
    Ok, there is really not a whole lot to say about this, but this is probably one of my favourite songs. It’s not a new years, not a happy, not a Christmas song. It’s a little more related to the gloomy winter…

    For the ones I don't have much to say or anything nice to comment on. I'll give a short response.

    1) No

    2) Good choice on the song. I like the melody. Lyrics are nice. Good, not bad. Still has room for improvement.

    3)Not bad. Still has room for improvement.

    4) Nice. There's still room for improvement.

    5) This is really you singing and not the original singer singing it? If it is really you, very good.

    I vote for 2.

    It is him, because he sang in the last competition too. He's very good.

    Ah well, too late. But I'm interested to know who this is when time reveals him.

    I believe he was already revealed last time, but I didn't keep track.

    I like 2's voice, but i prefer 5's performance on the whole, even though i dont understand a word, he sounds very good and i cant tell that its not a professional recording. 3 did a nice job as well, especially for the chorus

    Gosh, #5 sounds amazing! You sound a thousand times better than many professional singers out there. Absolutely delightful!

    Alright, back to work...

    #5 get my vote. I guess this is the non-Chinese division.
    I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

    This has to be the one of the hardest divisions since there are so many outstanding choices.

    Trai Tim Binh Yen: I'm absolutely hooked on this song. It would have probably received my vote if I haven’t listened to "Not Me Not I."

    Not Me Not I: Wow, this song touches me!

    Irish (the girly version): This song seems like it's difficult to sing, but your attempt sounds wonderfully pleasing.

    I'd have to vote for 5. Thanks to him, I actually have one viet song in my collection (saved to HD from the last competition). Thanks to him, I now have 2!

    I remember him losing some ground in the finals last time because he sang a Viet song which people couldn't really identify with. I really hope this time people take his songs on merit - they really are wonderful!

    Even though I don't understand Vietnamese, the voice for #5 was great.
