Way to go Men!!! We're closin' in to the finals. Dig deep, Same judging criteria as before. Remember your final recording is all we get to hear, so don't worry about how many times you have to record to get it just right. We don't know anything except what you submit here.

Good luck!!!

Good evening folks, thanks so much for the advance, and for those who didn't make it into this round, it sure wasn't for lack of trying. You fella's were excellent, and I truly mean that. As I listened to all of your songs I just kept thinking to myself...I'm happy that I made it this far!! So great job guys. For those moving on, I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish you all came down with laryngitis simultaneously!! LOL, but even that would only give me a fighting chance!!! Best of Luck to all of you gentlemen!!!

Good Morning Friends...........

I cant wait to start listening to all the songs this round!!!
I know they will be amazing. I have to be out this morning
but I will be here this afternoon to start my listens. Hope
you all have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs, Jan

Miss Karin, I have a question that I am not clear about.
Does the song have to be listed on SS in the OLDIES genre
or just fit the criteria of being in the top 100 billboard for
the specified years......

Many really great Oldies from those years
are listed on SS under POP, ROCK and COUNTRY genres.

as long as it is on the top 100 and they have proof that it was on the chart then it does not matter what singsnap genre it is. :)karinrochelle

THANKS!!! I was worried. Once I was in a contest where
they assigned a year and said do an oldie from that year.
So later I found out it had to be listed at SS as an oldie so
I had to drop out. Didnt want any of the guys to make that
mistake, LOL.

Im going to get to listening now ;-) YAY

My offering to our SWAG men. I'm using this entry for the Ultimate Oldies Contest, and think it's great for this one too.

I made a comment on your song instead of putting the SWAG banner
cuz some contests get all huffy if you use your song anywhere else.
Just in case :-)...

aww thanks. I hadn't thought of that. :)

Good Morning. Have been here catching up on
my listening. Everyone sounds so wonderful....
Have a blessed Sunday.

Ooops, LOL!!! Ever feel this way???

HI ALL!! JUST GOT HOME AND CAME TO
CHECK IN.

8:00 P.M. TONIGHT..... DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES
THOSE LEFT TO SING:

3. DSA3098
5. Carrara
8. Firenzeray

This is really getting exciting now. We are getting down to the
nitty gritty!! Everyone has been so fantastic. Lovin it!

All listened and scored up to this point. Let me please stress, guys, that our scoring is PAINFULLY close at this point! It's like the end of any competition show...it's literally anyone's win at this point. You're all THAT good! Please do not take it personally if you don't advance or didn't advance. It's not because you didn't deserve to advance. It's because someone HAS to go. We love all of you! You're all AMAZING!

Yes! To discriminate in such detail, at this time in the competition, is an intense process for us judges. We are counting every tiny detail otherwise there is no way to distinguish and give winning places.

Do you realize, and I'm sure most of you do realize this, that to get a GREAT recording here on Sing Snap is something that many professional recording artists would have difficulty doing. Here in Sing Snap we don't have the luxury of recording a song several times and then picking the perfect parts of a song and "pasting" them together to create the perfect song as the end product we find in stores. Here, to get that "perfect" song, we have to do it ALL perfect in one take. That is not an easy task.

So be proud of yourselves. I know, first hand, how hard it is to not make it to the next round.

I give you my promise, that I'm doing my very best to be as objective as possible. I try my best not to play favorites. I pretend I'm listening to your song as if I were going to buy it off Itunes. Yep, that is a tough standard to match here in Sing Snap. You guys, are THAT good.

One more thing; all you can do is your best. The good news is, that your best keeps getting better and better, the more you work on your skills and keep honestly evaluating your own recordings in the same way. Ask yourself, "If I was listening to this song on Itunes, would I buy it?" If not, then what's going on with it, that turns me off? How can I fix it?

Just my own three cents worth. Take wat works for you and disregard the rest.

You can be very proud of yourself, getting this far.
