Idea: The Lanaboards Karaoke Contest

[TMCBryan 217]

Hi everyone! So I was thinking of a competition for us to participate in: karaoke.

 

Here's how it would work:

 

1. You'd send me (or whoever runs the contest) an mp3 of yourself singing a song...preferably a Lana song. But there is no limit as to what song to perform as long as it's in English and not screamo/death-metal. It can be either acapella or with a backing track. No Auto-Tune or similar voice modification (obviously )

 

2. At the deadline (to be decided) I'd post links of the mp3s I received. I would not post who sent the links, and I would try to disguise the best I could who sent it; this includes uploading to a different file host, removing mp3 tags, and what other steps I must take to hide their identity.

 

3. Everyone else who did not submit would have the pleasure(?) of listening to the mp3s and PMing me which mp3 they liked the best. After the voting deadline, the winner is revealed. The losers will not be revealed.

 

4. Repeat steps 1-3 who knows how many times. After we get a good hand of winners, maybe 5-6, we will have the finals. The 6 winners of the past weeks will sing another song and send it to me. There will be one final vote, and the winner will be revealed! The prize will be gloating rights.

 

If anyone would be interested in participating or helping out, post it! Thanks a bunch!

[trayertrash 7,211]

 not screamo/death-metal.

 

I'm out 

[Beemo 1,373]

I'm interested!

[radiodasirius 637]

Im definitely doing this! Only problem is i really only have access to an iPad to record things lol

[Trinity 1,225]

Yes let's do it! I think it should be LDR songs only 

[Hello Heaven 1,578]

That's such a cute idea! If only I could sing but I'm still interesting on hearing other people, I agree that it'll be cooler with just Lana songs.

Maybe someone could create a Lanaboards account with a public password so anyone can PM it to you/in a thread or whatever on that account so it's even more anonymous?  

[Myriam 559]

I love the idea! Definitely interested in hearing other people sing, not sure if I would sing though lol

 

(agree with the fact that it should be lana songs only)

[phahad 691]

step away bitches, the king has arrived. i shall conquer thous asses. 

when does it start? 

also the public LB account is a nice idea, and lets not make it lana songs only.

[TMCBryan 217]

Awesome to see there's interest! Here's what has to be decided:

 

1. Lana songs only or all songs?

 

2. How to vote? PMing me or putting up a polling thread each round?

 

3. Should we add a public account? I'm afraid someone could hijack it...

 

What do you guys think?

[keanefar 1,007]

Definitely only Lana. And yes to polls, that makes it more open to the public. And I don't know what you mean by public account? Also something I thought would be interesting is to make everyone in the final round sing the same song, so that it comes down to voice and style purely rather than other factors that vary by song, you know? And to make it classic, have the final song be Video Games just some ideas!

[iloveguineapigs 168]

Aww, cute idea, I'll play!

[BLOODSHOT 3,029]

1. Lana songs only!

2. Poll

3. Idk about the public account, things could get messy...

[DUKE 2,530]

Oh, I'd love this!  I'm in, by the way.

[YayoYesYou 74]

I might do this!

1. Yes, Lana only.

2. Polls.

3. The public account thing could get a little messy, so I just think we can make PMs work!

[keanefar 1,007]

Can someone explain what a public account means?

[TMCBryan 217]

Can someone explain what a public account means?

 

We create a Lanaboards account that the participants all log into and send their submissions through. However:

 

1. Someone could hijack it.

 

2. Someone may forget to delete their PM and everyone knows who sent what entry.

 

3. I don't know if it's against the rules.

 

Someone asked me about adding echo and layering vocals. Yes, that's fine, feel free to cut and splice as needed, just do not affect your natural singing voice.

 

I like the idea of everyone singing the same song for the finals, but I'm still undecided about that and if it's Lana-only songs. I'll have the official game rules/week 1 thread in a day or two.

 

Edit: I've decided to allow all artists. I'm sure it would be annoying for the voters to  hear four different versions of Video Games every week.

[keanefar 1,007]

Oh, I see. Then yeah we should probably stray from that lol

[Jack 2,919]

Can someone explain what a public account means?

its where there is an account with a public name and password that anyone can log into and post their song rendition, it could be hijacked tho so thts why we probs won't do that

[Sitar 22,214]

But can any of you compete with this? http://vocaroo.com/i/s1EXk31A5Qg5
