I was so pleased to be put alongside such awesome singers and proud to be honest... But im glad to be out cos I stress singing live for a contest..Im ok for fun but I would have backed away...
Getting to where I did Thank u so much.. for those that left so sorry but u were great and those still here.. Best of luck and I'm glad im not a judge cos the talent is amazing xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wow, I thought I was a goner last time! My lovely sound card bit the dust last round and I had to record with my other computer that I don't consider my sound studio, so I had a lot of problems with levels.
Thank you for bringing me to the next round! Oh my gosh, this is going to be tough.
I assume that we need to make our own lyrics and not use a parody like a wierd al version correct?
Im with you Mandy and Musique ... PARODIES??? Darn .. never said I was clever rofl ... omg ... okee .. well thankies for letting me through ... is there going to be an immunity song this round??? PLEASE!!!! rofl ... hummm .. okee ... off to see what song I can destroy ... I do have one that I changed .. never recorded it .. but its unfortunately not in the pop category heheh .. darn it!
Looks like I'm the first to stick it out there. This was difficult to come up with a subject that everyone would relate to. I probably picked one of the worst songs for my voice but you get that on the big jobs.. Sit back and enjoy an aussie view of the upcoming US Presidential election (words are provided in the comments section to sing along)
