We're back on stage, baby!Welcome to the inaugural season of the Pulse Idol reboot! I'm your host, taylor . We've been away for quite some time now and it's been exciting to see some interest in a reboot of Pulse's singing competition show. We've cobbled everything up and we're ready to go, and we hope to crown one lucky Pulse member as the next Pulse Idol. To do that, we're heading out into the Games thread, traveling throughout the tag lists to find members willing to audition and display an incredible amount of courage by singing in their homes. As with any Pulse game, there are certain things that have to go down in order for it to work. Here's how we plan on making this season a fun & lighthearted experience for everybody involved:1. Each contestant will create a Soundcloud account with an anonymous username that I will give them in a private message. From there, they will record their submission each round and post it to Soundcloud so that they can then send it to me. I will then send each submission to the judges in a group PM. 2. Each round after auditions will have a theme, either representing a full-genre or a certain artist. It's important to note that each submission must be in keeping with each round's theme and the song must have an instrumental backing track (for example: "We Belong Together" would work for a Mariah Carey theme, as the song has an instrumental version.) The instrumental backing can include background vocals if you feel it will help you sing in time to the song.3. Judges are going to be able to be playful/shady/etc. (since let's be real this whole thing is about to be shade material). HOWEVER, they must not go too far with their comments. Judges, remember that these contestants built up a lot of courage to do this. Please be sure to keep things to a respectful degree when giving your comments in the group PM. This applies to the audience watching in this thread as well.4. Results/Eliminations happen once all judges have sent in their comments and their scores to the contestant. Scores are on a scale of 1-10. During results/eliminations, I will give some commentary and then proceed with revealing results from most to least points. I will be using the Soundcloud usernames to reveal each contestant moving on, while ONLY the contestant with the least points will be eliminated and will have their identity revealed.5. For the audition round: it's a free-for-all! Everyone can sign up! However, we're only looking for 10 contestants, so the audition round will determine that list. Which means a mass elimination. Which means everyone below #10 will have their identities revealed.6. IF SIGNING UP AS A CONTESTANT PLEASE PM ME TO RETAIN ANONYMITY7. Contestants: When you sign up via PM, please make sure to make the PM thread title "Pulse Idol - Your Name" so I can easily find you!If anybody needs something clarified or has a question, please don't hesitate to ask! We're looking for 4 judges and we need these four judges to have tastes for everything because I plan on themes that represent as much as possible. You can sign-up now as well! (Keep in mind that we need a total of five judges. I have already spoken with Albie and he expressed interest in judging.)Judges:1. Albie 2. Nick P 3. Devil Marlena Nylund 4. gabe 5. born 6.

ATTENTION: SIGN-UPS ARE OFFICIALLY OVER!Alrighty, everyone. We have a couple of announcements to make:
We have added a judge to the panel, bringing out total to 6. This comes after the judge informed me that they no longer desired to be a contestant.
As I mentioned, sign-ups for Season 1 of the Pulse Idol Reboot are now officially over. We have 11 contestants, which is only one number higher than the 10 we were aiming to have for the overall competition. With that said, the casting/audition round is going to be skipped this season. A casting round with a single elimination doesn't make sense because...that's how eliminations were going to happen after the auditions anyway.
Soundcloud usernames have been distributed to the 11 contestants. The first round will be announced after all contestants have confirmed to me that their Soundcloud accounts have been created.
Gear up for a great and memorable season, everyone!

OUR SEASON BEGINS TOMORROW!!!We've waited for the contestants, and now, all 11 of them have confirmed their Soundcloud accounts to me. That means we're ready to get this show on the road!
We'll be getting underway tomorrow evening with our first round. I'll detail what contestants must do to submit that way no one gets confused. Let's have a great season, everyone!

ROUND 1: THE HOT 100 Here we go! It's time to get our season started and begin our first round. For this round, each contestant must submit their performance of a song that has charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The song can be from any genre, and it can be from any year. The only criteria are that the song is one that charted on the Hot 100 and the song has an instrumental version to back the vocals up.
Contestants, once you have recorded your performance and posted it to your Soundcloud accounts, please send a link of that song to me via the PMs you made earlier where you signed up. Once I receive your submission, I will send it along to the Judges' Table for review. Our six judges will discuss the performance together as a group and then individually send their final review/scores of your performance to me. Results will be revealed once all judges have submitted their final reviews of each performance!
Contestants, you have four days (until this Saturday, May 23 at 8pm EST) to send your submission to me. Good luck!
