If you need some assistance in how to record your voice to the music, I will provide you with technical details... If you have problems finding that special song, Let me know, and we will see if we can find it.

You can present the three songs in any order you choose....and this will be important.

Every song will be voted on and given points by the Listeners of TMOA. Each vote will give a rating of a '3, 2, or 1', with 3 being the best, 1 the worst.
Votes for songs can be PM'ed or Emailed to me at aka.themonk@charter.net . Singers may vote for the other contestants songs, but not their own.

We will premier the songs on the Ken and Roger Show... Depending on how many contestants we get will depend on how many we can get on with one show... There the songs will be commented on by a panel of Critics, hopefully headed by Norrie, Roger, and themonk...
But the winner will be determined by the Votes of the Listeners.

You are encouraged to provide a link to your song for listening, or a link for downloading in this, the Official TMOA Idol Thread...

All the Votes will be held in a Mayonnaise Jar.... yes, that Film of the Fortnight Mayo Jar.... Until all songs have been previewed and Played on Air.

If you think you can be the TMOA Idol.... You indicate your interest by Posting in This Thread.... You must be entered by Midnight GMT October 3rd.

Prizes.... You betcha... Right now the Prize Closet has a Friday Night Rock Show Tee-shirt, and a gift card worth at least $50 US.... and maybe even more!

Sign up... all this could be your's for just a Song. :rockon:

Here is the link to the karaoke files for the songs on the list:

Oct. 3 is the deadline for your first song... Oct 17 is the deadline for the second song.. and Oct 31 the deadline for the final song....

Here is a good way to put your song where everyone can listen to it. I used Windows Movie Maker, made a quick movie with 'Having My Baby' as the audio, put in a couple of titles, exported and uploaded to TMUnderground, then put the movie/song in to the Idol Channel... check it out!

[sisch]

I'm definitely taking part in this - now which songs to choose.... :)

[rogerSIMIAN]

I'll be away for two weeks from 1st October. Would I still be able to take part if I get the songs done (somehow) before then?

[riott007]

WHat?? No Harper Valley PTA?? or me and bobbi mcgee?

fine ..count me in.

[Dulci]

I'll be away for two weeks from 1st October. Would I still be able to take part if I get the songs done (somehow) before then?

I think we need to submit all our songs by October 3rd and then the judging begins.

[Jase180]

Monk, if you need a judge..

[themonk]

WHat?? No Harper Valley PTA?? or me and bobbi mcgee?

Of course there can be one of those great Country Standards.... You can choose to do one song not on the List.

Maybe I can find a karaoke version of 'Titties and Beer'... :001_huh:

The songs will be ready for download here in a few minutes.

[kuroken]

WHat?? No Harper Valley PTA?? or me and bobbi mcgee?

Oh, Riott....how could you not mention Ode to Billy Joe.....I'd pay real money to hear you sing Ode to Billy Joe....not a lot, maybe, but it would be real!

[rogerSIMIAN]

I think we need to submit all our songs by October 3rd and then the judging begins.

Ah, good. :-)

[themonk]

GoodLuck!

[EmeraldEdge]

So are the three songs for round one, or is it for the whole ball of wax? We get to choose the order they are played in, will it be one song a week? How does the order in which you present them matter?

[Howitzer]

Ooh, Ooh! .... i can't sing :(

But sign me up!! :D

[themonk]

So are the three songs for round one, or is it for the whole ball of wax? We get to choose the order they are played in, will it be one song a week? How does the order in which you present them matter?

Three songs... you tell us the order in which they will be done...

One week, we will have the first songs... the the next week the second song.....

The only restriction is that two of the songs are from my list.

If we have a lot of entrants.. it may take a couple of weeks to have everyones first songs played... For those that miss hearing the songs on the show, Listeners should be able to either listen to the song online, (you guys can put your song in a simple title card movie, and put it on TMUnderground) or put it on a file sharing site, like Media Fire, for download by everyone.

Oct. 3 is the deadline for your first song... Oct 17 is the deadline for the second song.. and Oct 31 the deadline for the final song....

Let's say someone like...hmm...rogerS...was going on vacation between now and October 31st. Could he submit all of his songs before he left, just in case?

[rogerSIMIAN]

Let's say someone like...hmm...rogerS...was going on vacation between now and October 31st. Could he submit all of his songs before he left, just in case?

Yes, hypothetically speaking - someone like, let's just say for the sake of example... hmn... me...? :laugh:

[hippieking]

Will the songs be pre-recorded or live?

[sisch]

Monk, there seems to be a dificulty with the songfiles - I'm not able to download them... it tells me there's nothing there!

[rogerSIMIAN]

Sisch - oh, I downloaded them ok last night. It was a .rar file. Would that've caused a problem?

HippieKing - you can just download the backings and take your time to record them.

:euro:

[sisch]

Sisch - oh, I downloaded them ok last night. It was a .rar file. Would that've caused a problem?


:euro:

Nope... I think the download link was in a seperate post last night (saw it but was too tired to download it then), now it's been added to the first post it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's got corrupted somehow (or maybe it's just me...).

I have no problems with .rar.

Rarr. Raarrrr. Raaaaarrrrrr :4:

don't mind me, I'm sleep deprived

[Norrie]

Correct Sisch: the link in the first post was bad. (fixed now) Use this one

[themonk]

Yes, hypothetically speaking - someone like, let's just say for the sake of example... hmn... me...? :laugh:

Yes...you can submit all your songs at the same time. Those dates are just Deadlines for getting the songs to us...


Just let us know the order you want them presented on the show...

Sorry about the messed up link on the first page... I did that late last night. Thanks for correcting it, Norrie.

[sisch]

I'm downloading it right now!

[rogerSIMIAN]

Cheers, The Monk.

[themonk]

Here is a good way to put your song where everyone can listen to it. I used Windows Movie Maker, made a quick movie with 'Having My Baby' as the audio, put in a couple of titles, exported and uploaded to TMUnderground, then put the movie/song in to the Idol Channel... check it out!

It says I have to buy something to open it.
:42:

[rogerSIMIAN]

Nope, just click on TMOA IDOL.rar and it'll start downloading.

[BenTuttle90]

Monk I'm having difficulties opening up the rar files..Is there some program I need to open it or what?

[themonk]

WinRar is the program I use, you can download and use the evaluation program...
It will ask you to register it everytime you use it... Just close the registration window, and proceed to drag and drop the files in to a folder.

Easy squeezy....

[Dulci]

I'm going true karaoke style - I should have something to upload tonight.

Unless I chicken out.
Then it won't be tonight & I'll probably do something much more serious!

Anyway. I'm really thirsty now. That was a lot of singin'!

[rogerSIMIAN]

So, here's my "free choice" entry to the comp, a take on the Stones' "Gimme Shelter":

http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/1c81e24ae954d935e892/TMOA-Idol-Mr-Simian's-Gimme-Shelter

Not sure if it'll be my first week choice yet. I'll need to see how the other two work out. :-)

:euro:

[Dulci]

I likey RogerS!

And as you only live once :P

Dulci Sings You Shook Me All Night Long (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/40ac4f1c22da82aa0bc7/Dulci-Sings-Shook-Me)

Earplugs recommended. You have to visualize yourself drunk in a karaoke bar and me singing with whiskey in hand!

And like RogerS, I'm not sure if this is my entry 1, 2 or 3 yet.


*EDIT* - That was a special showing for only 2 hours or so. If you missed it, alas! You will have to go through the rest of your life wondering...

[themonk]

entries all ready?.... practice practice practice....
Well, let us see what dulci and rogersimian have brought us...

Nicely done... Im really liking what you guys are doing with the visuals too...
but I wont count anything in the Idol Channel as an actual entry until Oct 3. At which time all the first round songs must be available for the public....

Dulci and RogerS. have thrown down the gauntlet.... Let us see who shall answer the challenge to be.....

The TMOA Idol!!!

[rogerSIMIAN]

Dulci - Ha, you headbanging Rock Chica, you! Cool Betty Boop video too. :-)

Ah cool I'll have time to second guess myself and practice :thumbup:

[sisch]

Umm, dumb question : do we have to upload them to TMU?

I'm still sleep deprived, so sorry if that was mentioned somewhere...
Don't do that to me, I might feel compelled to make actual music vids for this and that will take me AGES!!!!! :D

[JohnnyEx]

Dulci : Earplugs recommended. You have to visualize yourself drunk in a karaoke bar and me singing with whiskey in hand!

I visualized, and your right it worked! Lol.

Naw, you can post a link here to any kind of file sharing to submit it too.

[BenTuttle90]

I got the music to work.
Thanks for the help.

Now to slaughter, I mean sing... "Walking in Memphis"....

:euro:

Whatever you decide, that was a bloody good rendition.

[Dulci]

I had the afternoon off. I had new software to play with. I'm slightly obsessive compulsive. I'm not going to make any more apologies!

We Belong (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/32957a618d4a469a0d4c/TMOA-Idol-Dulcis-We-Belong)


And now I'm giving my vocal chords a rest for a while. I promised them.

Anyone want to join me for hot tea and honey?

[rogerSIMIAN]

Wow, you've really got GarageBand sussed out already, Dulci. That was great! Just wait till you start messing with Apple Loops in GarageBand and making your own songs. There'll be no stopping ya... :rockon:

And, thank ya, db4321. :-)

[themonk]

As a point of clarification... you post your music anywhere you wish, just give us the link in this thread.

While there are 3 rounds and 3 songs.... there are no eliminations. The winner is decided on by the number of Votes that are sent to ME.




Votes for songs can be PM'ed or Emailed to me at aka.themonk@charter.net . Singers may vote for the other contestants songs, but not their own.




I expect that some may only do one song or two and drop out. You can only win if you do all three songs.

Remember, the deadline for the first song is October 3rd.

Luck!

jazzx:

On the voting - when does that start, has it begun already (before other peoples' songs have been recorded)?

So, anyway - here's my round 1 entry. It's my best piece of singing ever - given the odds, it's probably my only entry. Enjoy:

The song is "So Many Stars" by Sergio Mendez (of Brazil 66 fame) - the lyrics are by Alan and Marilyn Bergman

Everything you hear is recorded and performed by myself including the final trumpet solo; this trumpet got irrepairably damaged at the end of a viewing of Lord of the Rings when I got up to turn the light on and accidentally kicked it over against a lead doorstop. Peter Jackson cost me over £1000! But I'm glad this solo was the last one, I think it's my best ever trumpet solo; a fitting end if ever there was one. I know it's not "Trumpet Idol" but I thought I would mention that.

The link: http://rapidshare.com/files/144279584/starsII.wav.html



Nicely done... Reminds me of Herb Alpert...

As for the voting. I DO NOT want to recieve ANY votes until after the First Round Songs have been presented on TMOA. Any votes recieved by me in my email aka.themonk@charter.net before the songs are presented on TMOA, WILL NOT be counted....

[Norrie]

I just watched your so called song.

Really, fun is fun, but there should be a limit.

You do nothing but ridicule the honest efforts of stars like JazzX by producing this kind of hilarious satire.

Did I say hilarious? I meant to say elitist :)

Good job it's not a popularity contest, or a biased judging one.

Nicely done, HippieKing. At one point your breathing was louder than your singing. :-) But the rocking out bit sounded cool.

[Dulci]

Well I guess I'll withdraw from having any participation in this.
Shame really, it was going to be fun.
But after reading this comment from Jazzx:

" Norrie is on the panel, and there's no way he'll let her lose to anybody - he is the President, and she is the Vice-President of music on TMU, they're running mates. So Game Over."

I'll bow out.

I would hate his vitriol and invective to cast doubts on anyone else's integrity.

How silly. Everyone knows the contest is rigged so RogerS wins!

[rogerSIMIAN]

How silly. Everyone knows the contest is rigged so RogerS wins!

Well I think that having Norrie as my Sugar Daddy should have some perks!

:euro:

[goofparade]

Heck, have Norrie and Jase. Idol's got 4 judges this year doesn't it? Probably make a much more interesting show with more people to yack about the entries.

I don't know about Jase and Norrie.. they don't seem like the yacking type to me at all...:4:

"You've got hair and a smile? I never looked further up than the chest and you got my vote!"----Norrie

Nice one Norrie. heh heh out loud.

A rather sleazy rendition of The Girl From Ipanema with authentic fake-Portuguese, finger clicks, hairy chest and medallion. I'm hoping my complete lack of understanding of the Brazilian language comes across as all cute and exotic like Astrud Gilberto's English version. :001_tongue:

[goofparade]

The Girl from Ipanema. Nice touch RogerS, low range, had an original take on the song and liked the way you switched languages so seemlessly.

On another note, I posted my first song to the TMOA Idol channel yesterday, (thanks to all who stoped by) but I can't see it there at that channel. Did I post it at the wrong place?

My guess is that I didn't place it where I thought it would go. Here's the link, to be honest I'm bad at many simple computer things that don't involve music and audio.:lol:

If someone has some advice I would apreciate it.

Nice hurtin' tune Dulci.It was hurt-a-liscious!
I tried leaving a comment there but it didn't... take.

My comment was, great pick, I was really in the mood for it. Nicely sung too, if you could add a bit more reverb to your vocal it would help it blend even better with the band.

Ooo technical advice makes me giddy! Thanks - I'll fiddle with that. There's a few standard options for vocals on Garageband and I've mostly been using the preset ones.

I couldn't get it on TMU, something went wrong, so here's my first attempt, don't listen unless you wanna cry or hurt your ears.

Here is my first song entry to the contest, 'Ironic' (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/3ef5c5f55970346633f9/IRONIC%20-%20TMOA%20Idol%20entry%20by%20Sparky)

[wackyal3000]

I'd enter but I don't want to have a chance of winning. Yes you read that right.

[EmeraldEdge]

Ok, first I must apologize for being neither a red headed female... (oh wait, where am I? Oh yeah, in the middle of a sentence) or drunk, but this song jumped out at me when I heard the list, so I had to do it. I tried to upload it to tmunderground, but it didn't show up, so I uploaded it in a different format, same story and it gives me something about either not being there or not approved by administration yet. Oh, well. I'll put it here for the time being, and remain clueless as to how many people have taken the time to listen. Hope you enjoy, at least a little.

"It's not ironic, it's just rather unfortunate." Heehee. Nicely done, Sparky. That's a great vocal right there.

Who's the lady in the vid? She kind of overacts and isn't the greatest at lipsynching with you but she does have a pretty smile.

What? It's Alanis Morrisette? Now that's just plain ironic!

[rogerSIMIAN]

You Shook Me All Night Long (http://home.comcast.net/~emeraldedge1/TMOAIDOLEEShookMe.wmv)

Great hard-rockin' vocal pipery there, EE. At the end it sounded like you might be on the verge of something quite... uhm... dramatic, let's say. Haha. Not surprised, what with Emma Peel, Salma Hayek, Katherine Hepburn and buddies shaking you all night long. :-)

[goofparade]

Hope you enjoy, at least a little.

You Shook Me All Night Long (http://home.comcast.net/~emeraldedge1/TMOAIDOLEEShookMe.wmv)

I enjoyed it a lot! Was it good for you too?

Really nice job EE I had never heard this sung an octave down before and it sounds great there.

I've listened to Goofy doing Stealer's Wheel about ten times now.

Fucking guy - I hate multi-talented people - they make me bitter and envious.

Rock on, Goof - I love it.

[EmeraldEdge]

It's rediculous isn't it? Made me not even want to spend the time laying down tracks, after hearing it. Just too good to beat. I'm going to keep bangin' my head against the wall, though (I hear I'm good at that), and finish off the rest. Probably going to finish off Umbrella then look madly for something to do for the wild card song. Thanks for the comments, though, Goof!

and a quick edit:

TMU finally took the file, so you can catch my entry (should you wish to subject yourself to it) at:

I finally got one song together...I should have it up in two days or so. It's not from the list..and I may not do anything from the list...cuz I'm retarded and rarely follow the rules.

[sisch]

My first submission will be in before the deadline... unfortunately I have a stuffed nose at the moment, so singing is not a good idea.... but I already practised loads. :biggrin:

Huh... what? Well yeah, I do take my singing seriously.. I can't do it any other way

So please let this thread be again of what it's about - a place where people promote the songs they have done for the TMOA Idol competition.

As the Owner of this thread, I will be moving the posts discussing the varying opinions about the contest to another, more suitible thread, and indeed leaving this thread for song promotion and information, about Who will be the TMOA Idol!

I vote this the best Music video in the history of the world...
Was there music? I think there was music.... was too busy "watching" the video.

[riott007]

Ok..I uploaded a new version of the song. It's still 18+ and there's still a dancing girl only it's more cartoon. Enjoy!

Heeheehee. I like this new video too. Less arousing (in an artistic, thought provoking sense, of course) but more funny.

Sweeeet! Where can i send some fanmail? You sir, can sing.

If you're redoing it (and I can't imagine why) I'd maybe drop the vocal during the sax solo... it's a busy sax solo.

That was out fecking-standing EE!

[goofparade]

Alfric that was a very nice version of "You Shook Me"!

Who knew we had so many singers in the ranks. Monk is going to ferret us all out of hiding!!

[sisch]

Okay, here's my first offer....

originally, I wanted to sing all new songs for this (especially my own choice offering) but seeing as I'm ill and are not able to record it now to meet the deadline, I'm offering "Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves)" as my own choice.

I played around with MovieStorm this morning, and what better way to start off than trying to make a music vid? Anyway, this is the vid for "Autumn Leaves", now only on TMU! :tt2: (well, okay, I'm uploading it to the MovieStorm site, too... lol)

Here's my take on Mack The Knife (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/1ae7bf4ec4bd78275bb9/TMOA-Idol-Mr-Simian's-Mack-The-Knife)

I wanted to go for a Louis Armstrong / Tom Waits grumbly version (like I've done at a couple of bar-room karaokes) but I guess that only "works" when I'm drunk. Haha. So I've tried for the Bobby Darren type jazzed up version instead (which I always thought sounded rather jaunty for a song about a serial killer).

:euro:

[alfric]

just managed to catch all the other entries.....
man what a great talented bunch....
i must say goofparade ,roger simian ,dulci and sisch have the lead at the moment in my opinion...
must try harder for the next one....:56:

I recently uploaded my first entry...Walking in Memphis (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/2368a99f1d032c884854/The-Terrible-Singing-of-BenTuttle90-(Walking-in-Memphis))


Its a disaster...this is what happens if I try to sing.

Jorbak-Angry Audience Guy


Prepare to Laugh

[themonk]

With the Deadline for the first Round of songs coming up Friday Oct 3rd... I need all the entrants to Please E-Mail me Your Songs. The reason for this is that we discovered that copying the On-line versions that have been uploaded to TMU loses sound quality.
So if you want your song to sound the best for us to play on air... E-mail it to:
aka.themonk@charter.net
I would suggest that you send it in .MP3 format.... because this is the format to play the song on air.... but .ogg or .wav can be converted with little loss of quality.

If I dont get your song by E-mail, we will use your online version.


We have lots of great entries for the 1st Round and I cant wait to present them on TMOA, where each song will be played, in full to our listening audiance, Oct 5th on Ken and Rogers Sunday Show.

Make sure you email it before 12 midnight GMT Oct 3. If its 12:01 am GMT Oct 4th... it will be too late for an official entry.

Here's my first song, Elvis Presley's Suspicious Minds.

My karaoke version of the Troggs's Wild Thing (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/0faf985047d4c3f13ed0/TMOA-Idol-Mr-Simian's-Wild-thing). The observant amongst you may notice I've elicited the services of an exotic burlesque dancer from SecondLife as a vain attempt to rig the votes. McCain chose Palin for his campaign. I've chosen a lass called Betty Troubles. She doesn't shoot bears in the Alaskan tundras but she does wear sparkly shoes and can probably do the splits.

:)

Basically it will work this way.... after the sunday show when the first round of songs air, I will post a form in this thread.
You will copy the form, vote a 1, 2, or 3 on each song you like.
3 being you really liked it.. and no vote at all for songs you really really didnt like...

Paste the vote form in an email...and send it to ME, where I will tally the votes....

That's how round one voting will work.... Maybe the same for the next round... maybe not.

I will maintain the tally of all the votes.

Or I might change my mind by sunday.. Who knows...:blink:

[sisch]

Here's my next entry:

Die Moritat von Mackie Messer (Mack the Knife) (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/0f4efc9eec62cb947c16/TMOA-Idol---sischs-MACK-THE-KNIFE).

I'll be sending you an mp3 of it, too, Monk. :)

[rogerSIMIAN]

* Sisch's 'Mack The Knife' / 'Die Moritat von Mackie Messer':

http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/0f4efc9eec62cb947c16/TMOA-Idol---sischs-MACK-THE-KNIFE

Ooh, nicely done, Sisch. I've got an old crackly version somewhere of Bertold Brecht singing this and it's great to hear it again in German. I was transported back to some decadent club in the Weimar Republic.


* Alfric's 'Girl From Ipanema':

http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/753132652ae09963a05e/girl-from-ipanema

Oh, I like this, Alfric. Great sounding effect with the double-tracked vocalising clones. The vid made me chuckle too.


* Sparky's "BlackBird":

http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/7ac39d782741cd794002/TMAO-Idol-Blackbird-by-Sparky

Very well played and sung, Sparkster. I like the storyline of the vid too, the old couple looking back on their beginnings together.

[Fospherous]

If Roger heard mine it would be:

Oh man, oh god oh man oh god oh man, what was that damnation!!!! :p

[rogerSIMIAN]

Ooops, sorry, Tom - I've not got round to checking out those first week entries that I missed while I was away in France.

:devil2:

[EmeraldEdge]

Man, I have to take the time to vote (and finish my second entry).

Quick question. As part of the two "songs from the list" does it have to be that arrangement, or can we do a different one. For instance, say I found a version of "At Last" that I thought fit what i wanted to do a bit better, would it be acceptable to use that, and still have not count as my one song of choice. Is it still the rule that there has to be two from the list even?

[goofparade]

Here's my next song for the comp, my pick... now would be a good time to fetch the earplugs...

( the music for this didn't follow the original very well, I did what i could)

Quick question. As part of the two "songs from the list" does it have to be that arrangement, or can we do a different one. For instance, say I found a version of "At Last" that I thought fit what i wanted to do a bit better, would it be acceptable to use that, and still have not count as my one song of choice. Is it still the rule that there has to be two from the list even?

Hmmm.... no problem... so long as it is the same song. I picked these karaokes as the first ones I found of these songs. So if you found a better arrangement, please send me that karaoke, and I can make it available for everyone to use also... Yeah, thats fair.

[Dulci]

dont forget to email me your songs!

Thanks for the reminder

I released my second entry


Space Oddity

By David Bowie

After 20 takes, this was the best one, even though it doesn't seem like it.

Ugh, doesn't look like I'm going to get a chance to rework my round 2. Oh, well. Sent in the previous version, honks and all. It's been fun anyways, and good luck to everyone Sunday! Can't wait to hear everyone's latest offerings (again in the case of some).

[BudBundysMullet]

I did Daniel by Elton John, and I also sang this song CLICK HERE (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/319973d3173a74a03860/TMOA-IDOL:-Daniel_BudBundysMullet)

Well, here's a little mockup of what I'm thinkin' for week three. Don't know if I'll go with this song or not, but I thought I'd share at least. Hope you enjoy:

EE does Alice Cooper's "Feed My Frankenstein" (http://home.comcast.net/~emeraldedge1/EE-FeedMyFrankenstein_demo1.mp3)

[asa.oleary123]

monk can I still enter round three?, I was never going to win anyway, but in a weird way, I enjoyed singing *looks around embarrassed*

[themonk]

Of course you can... but you will have to pick a song from the list. Or you can disqualify yourself and pick one not on the list, but we will play it all the same.

[hippieking]

VOTE HIPPIEKING 3 OR ELSE I WON'T GIVE YOU ANY CUPCAKES :chef: :28:

[themonk]

Where do I go if I want to find karaoke downloads?

I get most of mine from Walmart.com...

Yes, I actually paid for most of our karaoke selections. :001_tt2:



Oh my! Very nicely done :5:

Ken says yes... he will be posting the link soon.

[EthanRunt]

And here, finally, is the second video for my songs, a duet, a sweary duet, and a naughty video to boot, so be warned:

[Dulci]

Trying to do a reminder since themonk isn't able to today -

I'm pretty sure the deadline for voting for round 2 is tonight, and the deadline for submitting our round 3 songs is tonight as well.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

[EmeraldEdge]

I do believe you are right.

[sisch]

Here's my last submission for TMOA Idol....

http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/344b0010f53909b961db/rock and roll suicide by Alfric

[BudBundysMullet]

Sisch and Alfric, both good entries, I enjoyed them a lot.

Here's My Latest Massacrepiece Del Shannon's Runaway (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/01cedc15f5118a762609/TMOA-Idol:-Runaway)
Best listened to with sound off.

[themonk]

Time for me to get back to work... I will be going thru my email for votes and Round 3 songs.

But Here is where I pass the savings on to you!!!

Round 3 deadline for song submission is now THIS coming Friday, Nov 7th!...
with the Round 3 song presentation on the Sunday Show the 9th... and the Winner Announced on the Following Sunday show.

I will be posting a link later today and instructions for everyone to do one more song that I will use to present the winner....

But, fellow babies.... that is for later!

[themonk]

It took most of the afternoon, but I have it all sorted out now. All the Round 2 Votes present and accounted for, All the the Round 3 songs so far tucked into their proper places.... Just about ready for the Round 3 TMOA Idol this Sunday.

Ok all you Idolers... I need you to do one more thing for the contest. I need you to record your voice for one more song. We will use this song to annouce the winner... and Everyone of you will be on the song, a nice little keepsake of the contest.
Find the karaoke here...
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=2d8987096662447eab1eab3e9fa335cadd47fa82 ada1f146
The song is 'All you need is love' by the Beatles. I want you to record your singing to this song... just your voice is all I need... Sing the lead part... and have some FUN with the end of the song. All I want is your voice. I will do the mix and production... and when we play it week after next.... Everyone listening to the song will know who Won!
Yeah, its a lot of extra trouble, but I find myself with some time on my hands, and we will add this to the CD that will be for sale in the lobby after the show.

Gosh, week 3, how the mighty doth fall.

[sisch]

I sent in my votes... let me know if you've got them, Monk? I'm a bit paranoid now, seeing my last e-mails to you vanished somehow.... :)

Looking very much forward to next week! (and having no idea who will win - we have a lot of good singers on TMU - who did suspect that?)

[themonk]

I have just checked my email, and I am recieving votes for round 3. Yes Sisch, your vote is there!

I want to thank one and all for the success of the TMOA Idol Contest. Only by Your participation could this contest work.

Remember you have till Midnight Friday, November 14th, to get in your vote for Round 3.

If you missed the show, Ken will have the 3rd Round songs, and Sunday's Show, up for download sometime later tonight....

[Elbow]

To all the entries - thanks for the fun and good luck all. :thumbup1:

[EmeraldEdge]

Well, just sent in my final round voting and the vocals for "All We Need Is Love". Congrats to everyone who took part, it takes a lot to step out and throw your hat into the ring for a singing competition. It's been a lot of fun, and nail biting (mostly this week on the nail biting). I hope folks continue to put out great songs more often, I know it's made me want to revisit some old songs I've had on the hard drive waiting to get finished.

[themonk]

You have till tomorrow midnight to get in your vote... If you havent heard the songs yet, you can download the Round 3 Broadcast here:
http://www.tmoaradio.com/infusions/fs_downloads/fsdownloads.php?action=view&folder_id=1&subfolder=/TMOA&#37;20Show%20Archives/TMOA%20Idol%202008/

I will have the votes tallied by saturday, and the winner announced on the Sunday Show.

Good luck everyone!

[Dulci]

Eep! I still have to do my version of All You Need is Love!

[EmeraldEdge]

SLACKER! I can't believe I actually got mine in early enough to call someone that. :9: (please don't hurt me)

[themonk]

Eep! I still have to do my version of All You Need is Love!

Come on, baby.... you know you want to!

[Sparky]

Eep! I still have to do my version of All You Need is Love!

Me too - i'm struggling because its in quite a high key - and i don't do high very well :sad:

[Norrie]

Me too - i'm struggling because its in quite a high key - and i don't do high very well :sad:

More drugs Sparky, more drugs :52:

I tried a version myself (even though I wasn't an entrant), but I couldn't get:
"All you need is 'A misanthropic hatred of all people; and a putrid soul filled with nothing but bile, bitterness, ennui, loathing, and despondency'." to scan very well.

I need to practice my singing... back to listening to Leonard Cohen for me.

[goofparade]

Sparky, it is pretty high up in some spots, and with your basso profundo, I can see it would be a bit of a reach.. how about trying it an octave down?

Norrie .... um more scotch!!

[themonk]

In case anyone missed the show today... the winner of the 2008 TMOA Idol Contest was

Sisch!!!!

[goofparade]

Congrats to Sisch and ALL who entered the contest, we all had fun!

Thx Monk and TMOA for running it so smoothly.

[sisch]

Thanks everyone! :) You've made me very happy!!

This contest was so much fun - thanks Monk for staging it!
I am absolutely amazed by how many great singers we have in this community - I didn't expect to win this! - it was a great experience, and I hope Monk does it again next year!

You've all given me even more reason to stay determined at getting better, and I'll be recording many more songs for TMOA!

:001_smile:

[Fospherous]

Wasn't Groovy Situation enough to win it for me?

I am beaten, towards the bottom, named as a loser and the only honour I have is beating Ethan in which I wanted to in fact lose to him...

Make any sense?

Anyway, Sisch...as the weeks went by with your songs, which amazed us all, I knew that there was no doubt that you would win, everything about the songs were just brilliant and I look foward to next year as you become a panelist...

Boy!...I'll be able to find out what you actually think of my singing! :D

But until next year!... Sisch is our champion! :)

[Dulci]

Nice job Sisch!

[EmeraldEdge]

I certainly hope you're going to keep up with it all, Sisch. That "Mack the knife", especially right around 2:07, was brilliant!

[riott007]

Congrats Sisch!!!

[rogerSIMIAN]

Congratulations, our Sisch. :-) Well deserved!

[Roger]

Well done Sisch!

[themonk]

One last thing....

I have now ordered the RockShow Tshirt and the Fifty Dollar Gift Card to Amazon.com for Sisch...

You are welcome, my dear Sisch....

To the winner belongs the Spoils!

Im personally hoping that she orders 50 dollars worth of Rose petals and takes a picture of herself wearing only the RockShow Tshirt rolling on the bed covered with the Rosepedals and sends me a copy...

Thank goodness Ethan didnt win.... the picture just wouldnt have been the same....

[sisch]

Im personally hoping that she orders 50 dollars worth of Rose petals and takes a picture of herself wearing only the RockShow Tshirt rolling on the bed covered with the Rosepedals and sends me a copy...


Teheheee... you've watched "American Beauty" once or twice too often, haven't you? :biggrin:

I guess you all will get a picture... though wearing slightly more than just the t-shirt.... :)
