LOVE it, LOVE it, LOVE it...
competition gettin' stiffer,
but the votes are in and...
Wooo-eee, gonna have to start getting in line! Just amazing how many gorgeous voices are out there! We had 2 record breakers this past week. This was the most entries we've had, and with the most popular votes ever, our winner... @alejandra23! She sang "The One" by Shakira and was just off the charts. Excellent job! Fantastic singing and congratulations to you!
This guy, @rickyaaron, has some serious lungs. Well done with a second place finish. He belted out a version of "She's Gone" by Steeheart. It was obvious this was a song you loved by the passion you sang with. Good job buddy!
The final winner this week is new to the winner's circle. Congratulations to @silentscreamer. A beautiful cover of "Someone Like You" by Adele made us hold up our bics and wait for an encore. We really hope to see you again, great job!

First week, third place.. ๐
Not bad at all. Ill have something up this week again... once i figure out which one to choose next. See ya. โค
What I did'nt like about this contest is that some people use programs to cheat their voices, and they win, so... I think I'll do the same next time, I recorded my entry and I did'nt use anything to cheat my voice it would be excellent to hear the voices of every contestant without distortion or sound editing software...
There is nothing in the rules that says they cannot do that, but I agree with you. There reaches a point where the contest is about who has the best audio equipment... but it is still fun to just play along!
Maybe she used a good mic. Or its the room. I am no audio expert but killerwhale has been hosting this for a number of weeks and i assume he knows.
But it really doesnt matter in the long run. You dont win here, you win somewhere else.
