johnm1120 - I'll be honest, this isn't very good. There's no energy, the whole thing seems so lifeless and it's off in a bit places.

[surfy]

I can confirm there will be no elimination this week, but this will allow you to get constructive criticism and develop for next week.

UNLESS one of these contestants submit late, but they will receive a penalty, they will go down a whole 2 numbers (say they get a 5, they would end up with a 3 on results night)

Given the circumstances, I thought you did pretty good actually. It wasn't up to par with your previous performances, but not bad.

At least there isn't an elimination this week, so you won't have to stress about that part.

[surfy]

Oh and yes, I do recommend voting this week, because this week's scores will combine with next week's for the results!!! :)

[Spidey]

Another non-elimination week?

I will take a listen to everyone's performances after work tonight and post my thoughts when I get a chance!

[surfy]

Edited in neally 's performance!!!

That means, the contestants that didn't submit AND the lowest ranked contestant will be eliminated this Sunday.

Don't forget to vote...

carrieidol1 - a little bit nasally, but overall a decent performance, even if it isn't your best. nice high note hitting btw, it just sounded a bit off this week
JuanK - completely off key, the pronounciation is a bit weird and at times it's just talking and not singing. i was bored out of my mind after the first minute.
Picklerclarkson - I love the subtle mood that acapella brings to this song, although you could add a bit more emotion into your voice.
Surfy - fuck you, you're a shitty judge. seriously tho nice vocal techniques, I give him the authorized Judge's Pick of the Week. (but you fucked up the lyrics)

[surfy]

Yeah, I was going to keep my slip on the dl, but you caught me. And I am not a judge, but a host/performer.

Thank you for your kind words, but what about neally's performance

[neally]

^^ Hi, are all of the judges' comments in ? Was my performances included in their comments ?

[surfy]

Only one judge has posted their comments and excluded you for some reason

Green Baron - Needs to comment on neally
popstop and Mr. Thonk Eyes - Need to comment on all

[Green Baron]

No.

Okay, but this doesn't take long. It literally takes less than a minute to type your thoughts. 

[picklerclarkson]

I'd appreciate other feedback as well!

[surfy]

SAME. I've tried warning the judges, but they all seem to ignore it.

[surfy]

Alright, so the results will be given tomorrow by judges request as they are busy today.

They've at least given us a theme for next week:
Other songs by a one-hit wonder (sing something other than that one hit)

By Billboard definition - a One Hit wonder has 1 Top 40 hit on the Hot 100 OR one top 10 hit on a genre airplay chart.

[neally]

^^If I am understanding you correctly, are we to pick an artist who only had 1 Billboard-defined hit in their entire career but we can not sing that song (and must pick another song by them) ? Please confirm if this that correct- thanks !

[surfy]

neally - That is correct!

Tagging the others:

Not a huge fan of the theme this week, to be honest. It's very narrow... and requires quite a bit of research.
Is there a list we could reference or something? A list of legitimate 1-hit wonders?

This is a list of songs from the 2010s supposedly by 1-hit wonders. Is it legit? I mean... I see Michael Buble on it and I'd hardly call him a "1-hit wonder".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2010s_one-hit_wonders_in_the_United_States

[surfy]

Idk, after school I could try to find a list or something. Maybe someone could do that while I'm at school?

[carrieidol1]

Actually, I think I already found a song! Haha... As long as that wikipedia list checks in, as well as this one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2000s_one-hit_wonders_in_the_United_States, I think I know what I'm doing. One of my all-time favorite songs is apparently by a one-hit-wonder artist according to this list --- I had no clue!
