I mean I won't stop you but I probably wouldn't be able to judge you with a score since this is a singing competition

But instrumentals are nice <3

Hello everyone!!!

Welcome to MafiaScum Idol Season 2. And wow we have a talented crew of 10 this season. So first off, all of you have made it to Round 1! We got 10 auditions and we are so happy to have each and every one of you participating.

A couple things to go over in terms of format change before we announce audition results:

1. This season the judges are scoring and judging blind. This means none of us saw what each other posted before our own individual judging was submitted. This was to prevent hive mindset amongst the judges and I am very pleased and proud of the results that were generated. In addition, just because your average score is showing that does not mean each judge gave you that specific score, some may have judged you higher some may have judged you lower. The only thing showing is the overall score.

2. We have a "Judge's Save" that we can use once prior to the semi-finals of this competition. This means that at anytime before we go into an audience voting round (will be announce when this happens) we are allowed to prevent the lowest scoring singer from going home. This means prior to results being released we will know who the lowest scorer is and decide before releasing results if we are going to save that individual from elimination. This is an optional thing and may not be used at our discretion. Once it is used, it cannot be used again. This is a change from last season that I want to highlight.

3. After deliberating with my judges, we realized there was something not currently in the rules that I will be amending to add. If at any point two or more contestants score the exact same for the lowest score, it will be at the judges discretion on who goes home by a vote (3-0 or 2-1). I don't anticipate this will come up often, but with average scoring now in place, anything is possible and we want to cover our bases in case the situation arises.

4. Every round the top scoring contestant will get to decide the theme, including the audition this season. They will have 24 hours to pick the theme from a list I will post momentarily. We also may or may not have a twist once a theme has been chosen, but will not do this too often. This is a slight change from season 1.

That's all I want to cover before releasing results. Time for results!

The top scoring audition was the only person to score above a 9 this round. You all are so very good and the majority of you are all very close to one another so I think the competition is going to heat up a lot faster than it did in season 1. We tried to be as positive and helpful as we could with our critiques. Please reach out to me or another judge if you feel you aren't being treated positively or you feel like you are having a negative experience. If you want to privately chat with one another you are welcome to do so, but please do not publicly score everyone. We had issues with this last season and it really caused some negativity that made me upset and feel bad for contestants. I have picked judges very carefully and am trying to foster a positive, encouraging, constructive environment. I want to celebrate each of these wonderful singers and all 10 of you are wonderful.

With that being said, we do have a top scorer this round and that is

Haschel!!!!

Congrats to the top scorer. Here are the rest of the results:

So what themes COULD be in store this season? Well its time to dramatically reveal!!!


Song involving a color in title
Song involving an animal in title
Non-English Song
Jazz
90s
Country/Folk
Youtube Stars
Electronic/Dance/Techno
Disney
Billboard top 100 from 2014

Not all of these themes will be used obviously, there are more themes than rounds, but these are the ones that the top scorer will have to pick between.

So with that said, the top scorer from the auditions now gets to pick which theme we will do next <3

If any of the contestants have questions, feel free to DM me or reach out on discord Malkon#9019

Song involving an animal in title

Play free bird!

[Haschel Cedricson]

Not one but TWO songs I was considering auditioning with were on the 2014 Billboard Top 100, so let's go there first.

[toolenduso]

Great job everyone! I love hearing what you all come up with and can’t wait to see how the rest of this contest goes

[Malkon05]

Not one but TWO songs I was considering auditioning with were on the 2014 Billboard Top 100, so let's go there first.

Okay The first theme is 2014 Billboard top 100.

You are allowed to choose any song from this list (its called hot 100 for some reason but it means the same thing as the theme name):

Your next deadline will be Friday August 13th at 11:59pm EDT.

I'm giving a little extra time this round since its your first round and you want to get your feet wet. Not all rounds will have this much time to submit. If you need more time please let us know ASAP. Since we understand everyone has lives and we are still in COVID I don't want to stress people out, but we also don't want to stay on themes/rounds forever.

The lowest scoring contestant this round will be eliminated unless a judge's save is used.

Let me know if you have any questions.

The fact that there is no musical theater category on this list is cruel and unusual!

This is already a lot of fun guys! I agree with your critiques judges, and it's a lot of fun to go through and listen to all of your submissions!

[Malkon05]

We tried to go for categories that were different than last season. The one exception is Country/Folk.

[Malkon05]

I'm sure you can find a musical song with a color or animal in it. Definitely during disney round

[T-Bone]

I even prepped a musical style song this time just in case. But I am relieved.

What a great year 2014 was though, wow.

[Skelda]

Oh I'm sure I can find a musical song for more than just that hahaha. Trust me I'm already scoping out these categories trying to find ways I can find musicals which fulfill them. But I would say 90% of the songs I know well/have practice singing are from musicals, and it's also just fun to listen to everyone else have to sing songs I'm likely to know. But you are right that Disney is a similar style of singing.

Also a heads up on this current round, I'm hoping to record in the next two days. If I don't, then I'm almost certainly going to need an extension since I'm going to be traveling/in a hotel until deadline and trying to covertly record myself singing in my hotel room does not sound like fun. I'd really rather get it done now before all of that though. I already have my song picked out so just need to find time to record it.
