MafiaScum Idol Season 2 ~~AND THE WINNER IS...~~

[Haschel Cedricson]

I considered Wrecking Ball but figured a lot of people would choose it. I also recorded Habits and Chandelier but they weren't as good.

[lilith2013]

I considered wrecking ball, say something, let it go, and chandelier (and recorded several takes of chandelier, but those high notes were wayyyy too high).

it should be fairly obvious which one I will be picking. give me the Disney princesses!

[T-Bone]

Good category.

I tested Hey Brother, Let It Go (lol), Say Something, and Let Her Go, which I actually also recorded so maybe I'll just toss that onto Youtube.

[InflatablePie]

considered Pompeii and honestly that might've been the best choice. or Counting Stars? idk. only other recording I tried was Ain't It Fun but I couldn't make it work.


we'll see if I can find something better for the Disney round. time to brainstorm.

[Malkon05]

Okay Disney is the theme this round. Now Disney doesn't just mean the cartoons. Feel free to pick anything from

Disney

Reminder, you cannot do songs you did prior, so if you did a Disney song in past rounds, you may not perform that song again.

Otherwise, sky is the limit, let's see how far UP you can go

Deadline: September 6th at 11:59pm PDT

Hello all,

I had something come up and realized I did not specifically spell this out in the rules for this category and had to remind myself that I need to be more clear when giving out categories.

For this Disney round, we are looking for songs that were specifically written for something disney originally put forth. I am henceforth making this a rule so you all know what we are looking for.

I'm going to provide the sample response I provided to the person who asked, it does not identify the person who specifically asked me and should be a good "rule of thumb" question. As usual please reach out to me if you specifically aren't sure if something is "disney" or not.

Example (response given by judges when asked):

"Although Disney did buy the rights to Hamilton, it does not appear that any of the songs were written during or after the rights were acquired as it was a broadway musical prior, so unless there is a song specifically written after the acquisition, we are going to have to say no to allowing it.

Last season I made a very similar clarification in the "non-animated movie songs" category as evidenced here. viewtopic.php?p=12072536&user_select%5B ... #p12072536

In this clarification I made publicly, I allowed someone to sing "Listen" from dreamgirls as that was a song written for the movie (they didn't but it was clarified), however, none of the rest of the songs were eligible because they were originally written for a non-movie format.

I am pretty open to ideas, but I have to have some structure in these categories. So unless there was a song written specifically for the 2020 movie hamilton or by disney post acquisition of the rights, I'm going to have to say no to Hamilton this round.

As stated I will post this publicly so everyone is on the same page as to what is going to count in the "disney" round vs not. I do apologize for any confusion or lack of clarification in my original post."

Erm… my upload was removed due to copyright. awkward.

[Flubbernugget]

if it helps, I've been uploading files to google drive then sharing via a link

[lilith2013]

ty, I did that and malkon confirmed the link works. I’d only been using soundcloud after an issue with my google drive links last year.

[ManateeGal]

im so excited for this round

[Flubbernugget]

I had to mix things up more than I expected. a lot of disney songs feel like the singer had the freedom to play with the rhythm w/ the accompaniment in ways you can't do to a recording. So getting the timing right is tough unless you *really* know the song ahead of time

[Skelda]

I do have a song recorded, but I'm very indecisive and there are like 5 or 6 songs I've been considering so that's why I'm not submitted yet! But I definitely will submit by deadline.

[T-Bone]

I got a copyright claim by Youtube for this video so you know my attempt is perfect.

YT is gonna run ads for the copyright holder on this video...hopefully the ads don't midroll.

Well luckily for you, someone has requested a 24 hour deadline extension which I have decided to grant!

The new deadline is 9/7 at 11:59pm EDT.

[Haschel Cedricson]

Oh good because I’m recovering from an illness and my voice is only at 70%.

[Malkon05]

After review from a request to have one last 24 hours extension, I have decided to grant the request. If you have already submitted, feel free to re-submit if you need another day to iron out the kinks.

The new deadline is tomorrow, September 8th at 11:59pm PDT (not EDT).

Thank you all for your flexibility, it's a really weird time in the world right now and everyone could use some positivity <3

In under the wire!

Full disclosure, I sang the first half of the song, took a break, and then recorded the second half. Normally I would not do this, but I keep breaking into coughing fits so that's the best I can do.
