Welcome to the thirds installment of the SG karaoke contest, the contest where you get to hear your fellow SG members sing. I had huge hopes of trying to make this third iteration of the karaoke contest unique, the idea was: the 3rd karaoke contest: duets, where there would be a bunch of songs sung by the previous winners that you could sing along with, alas, that was too hard for me to set up. (I was surprised I couldn't get tow singers to agree on a song, go figure) I was bemoaning my troubles to a friend on steam when they told me, that they enjoyed the original two contests, so why change things? Well I still couldn't help changing it a little (more on that below) but that is how the third karaoke contest was created.

the first contest
the second contest

A few things to note

  1. all singers will be anonymous to prevent favoritism when it comes time to judge the contest
  2. after the contest, I will reveal the identity of all contestants I have the permission to reveal.
  3. Recording will be done on their own computers. I suggest audacity (http://audacityteam.org/) for this. the songs will be uploaded to a google drive google drive FAQ from the second contest
  4. To verify authorship I ask that the singer to upload a vocal only track. if they want they may also upload a mixed track.
  5. Singers may submit as many songs as they like.
  6. These are your songs, I will take down any song at any time by the user request , I will also comply with any copyright take down requests if I revive them.
  7. All participants will be invited to a steam group which I will make as many giveaways as I can when the contest ends
  8. I welcome anyone that would like to contribute to a prize pool add me on steam and I'll add you to the group.

First off I want to talk about naming conventions When upload a song I'd like you to name it "song-artist-VOCALS" for the vocal only submission, "song - artist-SONG" if you are uploading the song you sang to be mixed with your vocals. and "song - artist-MIX" For example if you sang "Mad World" by Gary Jules, you would upload "Mad World - Gary Jules - VOCALS" After you upload your file(s) please add me on steam, so I can add you to the giveaway group and make a list of who recorded what song.

Secondly the change I mentioned above. Voting in the third contest will be handled slightly different than the first two. Each song will have a poll attached to them, and people will rate each song from 1-5 on what ever criteria they deem valid. This will hopefully eliminate the lengthy voting round of the first two contests.

Finally the contest will end around the time of the steam summer sale.(June 16, not confirmed)

really liked I Want To Be Free cover, although singer's voice seems to be a bit silent :P
(i think it was recorded during night time, or maybe singer is a bit shy :p)

I chose to listen to Eye of the Tiger. I rated it as a 3, but that was just due to the fact that his accent made it hard to distinguish some of the lyrics. I can never give anyone anything less than that as I feel that even if their singing is horrible (his was NOT horrible), I feel they actually had the intestinal fortitude to sing, so that is cool of them! I hope you don't feel insulted by my giving you that number. :(

Oh! And he sang it without any music playing along with it! Dang! I just realized that I should have given him a 4 for that. That is even tougher than singing along with music!

One of my regrets is that I cannot sing...at all. And I love to sing in the shower (or to songs playing in my car...but only if people can't see me through the windshield, lol).

So big kudos to whoever it was that sang the song I listened to.:)

No, I don't want to be the first to be permabanned from SG for creating so many cases of ear-bleeding. LOL!

Did you make a song, Diana? I've only listened to the one song so far (from this contest, not the first two). I find singing to be one of the coolest things that a person can do. The range that people can do is actually pretty amazing! For example, Tarja Turenen (formerly of Nightwish) has a hauntingly beautiful voice!

My voice sucks. If you can listen to the songs and find a voice that sucks, then I possibly did. If not, then I didn't. :D
But yeah, singing like Tarja will always be a dream, not even going to pretend that any amount of coaching could make me sound anywhere close to that.
Go sing, I like earbleed.

Thank you for the encouragement. I am extremely self-conscious, so there is a small chance of me doing it, but at least I know that someone would listen to it and not run away screaming...you'd probably be frozen in terror! LOL!

Nah lol. I've heard enough bad singing so I'm pretty sure I've heard worse than yours. And those people usually don't say "I can't sing" before they do it, only the ones who actually sing at least averagely good, say it. It's something to do with perfectionism. Some people are, and if they sing like 8/10, they will think it's bad because it's not 10/10, while other people just don't give a shit.

I was some time away from this community and I did not know this event.
There are many interesting voices here!
I do not have the courage to participate, even more after hearing some very good voices
