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)

Final Fantasy Classic by Brentalfloss

This is awesome. The singer nails the notes. My only problem with it is more clear after hearing both parts. When the electric guitar comes in, the song takes a harsher, more staccato style. The singer's style is really suited for this part. But prior to that, when it's a legato piano style, the singer has the same style. It's almost a bit jarring (to me, anyway) because of that.

That's really a minor quibble, though. As I stated up front, it's amazing overall. Great job!

Oh, yeah!
