It might be cool to provide info Or maybe every week there could be a question the remaining contestants should answer (trivia, preferences, etc), so that the public knows contestants better I'll think about it.

My name is Peter Clarkson (at least here I am) I'm a Libra, I'm 22 and I live in Kansas, currently getting my Masters in Kinesiology I have an unhealthy obsession with Alpacas, Kelly Clarkson, and "Birthday" by Katy Perry I play guitar (I more strum, I'm not that great), and I sing. A lot. All the time. I eat chicken almost every day, have never had a hamburger, and watch way too much Desperate Housewives and Hell's Kitchen... and Pretty Little Liars. If you vote for me, I might write you a song.

Does the whole thing have to be recorded in one take? I guess it's up to you. What I remember doing during season 1 is recording multiple one-shot takes, then picking which I thought was the best one. 'Cause yeah in an actual live performance you only get one shot and chances are it won't be 100% note-perfect but if you feel better putting together the best bits of a recording then by all means do that. Can we do original songs since it's anything goes? It wouldn't be 'anything goes' if you couldn't. Is there any judging criterion that the contestants should be aware of? For me, just try and give the best vocal you can. There's a lot of entrants I haven't heard/don't remember having heard sing before so I'm coming into this with no expectations. How are you judging? Just by favorites? Like any contest there'll inevitably be some degree of popularity contest at play but I'm looking at the performances themselves and how well people deliver each week.

My first performance is officially submitted! This is kind of exciting!
Anyway, here's a blurb about myself:
My name is Kyle, I'm 22 and from CT. I started singing when I was about 12 and have done it on the side ever since. I auditioned for 'American Idol' in 2008, but clearly that didn't work out! So here I am, at 'Pulse Idol'. I'm a super-senior at Central Connecticut State University where I'm finishing up a degree in World/Regional Geography with a minor in Sociology. My main inspirations musically are Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey, Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Garth Brooks, Reba, and Rascal Flatts (among many others). My favorite genre is Country music, but I like to sing a wide variety of things.

Using GarageBand I use the setting "live performance". It does nothing but make it sound like you recorded on a stage instead of in a studio. But yeah, distorting vocals would defeat the purpose, I agree.

By effects I meant like auto-tuning. I have no issue with reverb settings, those aren't affecting the actual vocal performance.

I think Jordan (season 1 runner-up) did some vocal layering doing harmonies with himself, so that's fine.

Look: I'm Wave(Waverly, Wavey) I'M 24. I love to eat, sing, play video games, and dance.
Basketball is one my favorite sports. I listen to a variety of music, so I don't have a specific favorite artist. People say I have a charming personality, so that's what I want to give you guys.

Hola Pulseros!! My name is Juancarlos, aka JuanK or Jotaceia (the spelling in Spanish of my full name initials ;) ). I was born in Lima, Peru back in 1975 u_u so yeah, I lived all the history and hysteria of the 1980s :) I became a Madonna stan in 1986, after being a major fan of Cyndi Lauper. I mostly listen to Pop music (in English), but have gone through the Rock, Dance and Latino phases as well. I am an Economist with a Master in Finance, who came to the US in 2005 to pursue and MPA/IR and is now working in an international development agency. I love my work, but my second passion is music... MUSIC makes the people come together! YEAH! I used to do a lot of karaoke nights and overnights so I hope that experience helps me in Pulse Idol I was a Pulse member during the first edition but at that time I did not dare to go the lounge or non-music threads (~shy me~) Good luck to all participants!!! I'm confident this will be a great / fun experience!
