Whew!! This was the first time I used Garage Band today it took me a couple of hours to finish downloading its updates (??!!!), learn how to use it and then record few 1-takes of the song I had chosen. I was going to use the karaoke/instrumental as a backing track but the note was higher than I expected so I opted for a cappella. Hope I'm lucky enough :) It was fun though You could download something like Audacity (it's free) and then take the pitch down. That's what I do a lot when it isn't in a good range for me. Also, if you just average everything with the math then add them together it should be fine. So, each judge ranks from like 1-10 (or however many there are) and then add those together and divide by the number of judges Then each person who votes ranks them, then you add all of those together and divide by the number of people who sent in votes. Then add those two numbers together. 50/50Now it's coming back to me!!! It's elementary math, but for some reason it slipped my mind. This equation makes much more sense.

Yay, we figured out a math equation!! Also, I have received 8 submissions so far (if you've turned yours in, I should have sent you a confirmation message) For the 7 people that still need to submit their songs in, you have about 17 hours to do so. If you submit your song late, you will still be on the poll, but I will ask people not to vote for you until you submit your song. And for the judges, if they have already submit their ranking, and you submit your song afterwards, and they do not login again before the end of the deadline (although I'll do my best to make sure that doesn't happen), your submission will receive no points from that judge. Also, if you submit after the voting/judging has ended, you will be disqualified from the competition. So basically, try not to submit late. I'll tag you all again. If you already submitted your song though, you can ignore it. surfypicklerclarksonWavey✨️@iwannago Juancacarrieidol1PeterawrFat Ass Kelly Pricenightshadetrashynavy@jules Green Baron Xtina

Can you tag the judges once everything is in?

My name is Mike, I'm 22 and from New York. I am currently finishing my degree in French Education this fall. My favorite artists are Kelly Clarkson, Kellie Pickler and Bon Jovi. As for my favorite kind of music I like a variety of music. I am looking forward to this competition. I've always loved to sing but I never really knew if I was any good so I thought this would be a fun opportunity!

Question: Are contestants allowed to rank?
I'd love to vote, and I'd be honest! (If I put you last, please don't get sad, everyone here is amazing tbh...)

Throw my hat in the ring as well. Do I need to do anything right now ? Also, how often and how many people are eliminated ? (I'm trying to get an idea of how often we will need to record songs). Is it a problem to just use the iPhone voice recorder over a karaoke track ?
