ODYSSEY IDOL 2!

The Top Crusader · Post by **The Top Crusader** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 2:42 pm

At long last (well, okay... it hasn't been THAT long yet), Iron Crusader is kicking off its myriad of astoundingly groovetastic contests with the launch of... Odyssey Idol 2! $\:D/$

Some of you may recall the excitement of the original Odyssey Idol, but that has been nearly three years ago and there are a lot of new faces on the Town of Odyssey... so its high time this contest returns!

That's great, Top! It sounds spectacular! So what do we do!?

Well, I'm glad you asked, Mr. Bold-Typed Font! $\:D/$

You're deadline... March 1st, 2009! What you do is... record yourself singing!

There are numerous online kareoke sites that will let you do that, or you can probably find accompaniment tracks online or something... or sing musicless! Now, we understand that only having some cheap microphone on your computer isn't going to produce the highest quality... but we will be kind about that--although I know there are some talented people here that probably have professional recordings they can send in...

But anyway, from last time we had some good success with http://www.ksolo.com as far as an online kareoke site. Ewww, I see Myspace has taken over it since last we used it.

Well hopefully it will still serve our demands!

Coupled with http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ for recording purposes. Of course if you know of something better... feel free to use it, and clue us in as to what it is so other people can use it, too.

Right... so... send this where again?

To me... either upload them (you can do that where ever you desire, but if you have no clue, http://www.yousendit.com/ is a good place to start), and PM me the link, or email the file to: thetopcrusader@hotmail.com --if you email them to me, I highly recommend sending me a PM here on the board and telling me what to look for, to make sure it doesn't get deleted in my junk mail folder along with the countless herbal enhancement ads I get every day. $\:D/$

But, wait... I'm not that popular here... everyone loves that poster Bob, and if he enters, he will win out of favoritism!

Good point. So basically, send all the stuff to me, and only me... don't reveal what you are performing or anything. I will then post things without your name attached, so voting will be done fairly.

So... I only enter one song?

Yeah...... I think that will be simpler for everyone! $\:D/$

Okay... well... sounds interesting. What's in it for ME?!

You greedy Bold-Typed Font.

First place... $5,000 plus a plushie doll thing to commemorate your win on Odyssey Idol! $\:D/$

Second place... $2,500

Third place... $1,000

Not too shabby, eh?

Okay, so, what about an entry fee for us?

I'm a nice guy. No entry fee. The ToO government lacks to toss out money just like the United States government! $\:D/$

Is that all?

Well... for now. I'll append more later if necessary. So any questions of whatever, ask away.

Happy singing!

NOOOO!! Don't leave us yet, Top! Give us a little something extra!

Okay, how about last Odyssey Idol's entries?! $\:D/$

Hurt -- Last Odyssey Idol's first place winner!

Shenendoah -- Tie for 2nd place last time!

C is for Cookie -- the other 2nd place last time!

Oh, shweet! I can't wait to hear all the entries again! $\:D/$

EDIT:

OH! Question. Ahem. If you do record it on Audacity or anything, can one change the pitch or anything? Or is any editing of it not allowed?

Fun. $\:D/$ And I echo JIA's question.

Woot! Sounds fun. $\:D/$ Now if only I had a little microphone to call my very own.

Can we use whatever language we want?

Post by **Catspaw** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 3:57 pm

"C is for Cookie" is still one of my favourite songs! $\:D/$ Good times. I can't wait to hear the fantastic entries that I know will be sent in my all you talented people!

jelly · Post by **jelly** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 4:12 pm

Soo... do we get to find out who sung what after the voting is done?

J-man · Post by **J-man** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 4:28 pm

I'M OUTRAGED THAT WE ARE HAVING THIS PAGAN CONTEST!@!!!!!!11!12!43!!

Everyone knows that we shouldn't have idols. I therefore declare this "contest" to be heathen and unchristian, and order you to delete it now!!

(hahahaha. Anyone who took that seriously should just leave, right now.

)

Looks cool, can't wait to hear the songs. (am I the only one who doesn't remember the first one?

Hmm... Sounds fun.

*Go to see if there is a microphone on my computer.*

Yeah, I'm still not sure if I do...

Wait, duh. Yeah, I do. I can skype. lol

Yay! $\:D/$ This was fun last time!

Sounds fun. but I have not recording devises and even if I did my parents would never allow me to put my voice on the internet.

DanP740 · Post by **DanP740** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 6:54 pm

Do I have to sing, or can I just play my guitar? And if so, I reiterate the question about editing.

Tim Peterson · Post by **Tim Peterson** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 7:03 pm

When I did Seasonal Felicitations, I edited together multiple takes to make it sound good, as well as adjusting the volumes of the voice and the music. That, at least, would seem like a reasonable thing to do. Top can give the final word on more elaborate editing, though.

Also, if anyone wants help with how to record yourself well and prepare the recording for submission, let me know.

Sounds like fun. Just got to warm up the old vocal chords.

*appreciates the graphic with Eugene and the golden calf*

I remember listening to the entries and voting in the Original Odyssey Idol - what fun! I look forward to seeing what great talent this contest brings in.

LizzieG · Post by **LizzieG** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 2:46 pm

Haha, I like the graphic too.

I remember Odyssey Idol! I believe it was in-progress when I joined, and I enjoyed listening to the entries. Should be fun! To enter or not to enter. That is the question.

I also remember the Butcher That Song contest that I sent in an entry for.

This brings back fond memories. I can't wait to hear from all you aspiring singers!
