A10cgirl has announced the winners of "dreamin' of the grand ole opry"
WELCOME TO ROUND FOURTEEN – SEMI-FINALS!!! WOW….WE DID IT!!!! CONGRATS…..ALL ELVIS TRACKS HAVE NOW BEEN DONE THAT WERE HERE ON SINGSNAP BEFORE THEY STARTED ADDING THE NEW GOLD TRACKS! GREAT JOB, EVERYONE!
Before telling you how our Semi-Final Round will be done I have to do the sad part and announce our four contestants who are now out of the competition. We are to the point where wonderful talent is leaving because everyone is just bringing 100% to the performances. As I received the votes from the judges, all of them said how tough this was and how they hated to vote people out at this point. All of you are winners to me and I hope that each of you stick around for these final two rounds and share your songs with us. Would also love for you to become a judge in these final two rounds and help us decide on our overall Champ. I want to thank you for sticking this out because you have come far in this competition.
Our contestants out of the competition are:
A_Bum Brockabilly LoveSong_Singer xxxSparkyxxx
Now for the instructions on our Semi-Final Round…….Well, I know some of you didn’t think I would let all of those great new GOLD tracks go to waste. In this round we are going “SOLID GOLD”!!! 19 new tracks have been added as GOLD ONLY since we started this contest several weeks back. These will be the songs you will be singing this round. You may choose any song from the list you would like to do. I’m not going to try to have us sing all of these at this point but I did want to add these tracks to the contest. In order to make that possible….we had a few contestants going in to the Semi-Final Round who were BLUE members. I have sponsored these contestants for a month’s Gold Membership. I hope no one takes offense to this because I felt like in order to do what I wanted to do in this contest then I had to put everyone on the same level to compete and keep everything fair. I hope these few contestants will accept this sponsorship as a gift and a tool to compete. I would also like to add…that no one knew I was planning to do this so it had no bearing on who was voted out of the competition. This is one reason I did not say anything about it until it was time to do it. This is also a way I like to show my support for this wonderful site that brings us all together.
5 Contestants will be voted out in this round which will send 10 Contestants to the FINAL ROUND. The judges will be sending in their bottom 5 picks this round. I WILL NOT BE VOTING. This will be the last round the Judges will be voting anyone OUT…..In the FINAL ROUND they will be voting for our top 3 winners. NOTE: Some of our judges shared with me this last round what they are looking for in your performances so I thought I would share these with you to maybe help you a little in preparing your song entry…….It’s to the point where they are having to look for the tiniest flaw such as….melody, phrasing, staying in tune, any notes sounding off key, etc. They are not looking for “Elvis Sing Alikes”. They are looking for our contestants who handle the songs the best in their opinion. It’s gotten very difficult at this point because all of you are so talented.
***ATTENTION ALL FORMER CONTESTANTS*** (I am still looking for judges to join our other judges to help out in these final two rounds)– If you were one of the original 77 to sign up for this competition and would be willing to commit to a round or two or even all remaining rounds to help with the final judging please contact me through the pm. Also anyone who leaves the competition in the future may also contact me to help out. It does not matter how you had to leave the competition…DQ, Withdrawal or Elimination….I would love for you to help out if you can.
A Summary of the Rules
1. You must sing your song from the list using the tracks provided before the deadline or you will be disqualified. NO PRE-RECORDS! Post your song in the thread along with the name of the song and the track number from the list you used. Ladies, you may change the words to suit your gender if you would like.
2. If someone withdraws or is disqualified then that will count as one of the eliminations for this round.
3. No Drama in the thread. If you have a complaint please pm me and we’ll see if we can work it out.
6. In the “Shared Section” you may post up to 2 songs that are Elvis songs or a song that has some kind of Elvis connection. (Please state the connection if it’s not obvious) These songs are not for competition but for our listening pleasure when things get slow and do not count toward the elimination of tracks for the contest. You may share a pre-record in the shared section if you would like.I would like to see our contestants and other Gold members do some of the Gold Tracks for our shared section this round but it is not required.
7. I am not competing with you but will submit a song each round along with you. It is not required that you listen and comment on me but I do appreciate your visit and comment.
8. Last but not least – Have Fun!!!
There will be a prize for our Grand Champ! This is a beautiful hard-back book that was purchased at Graceland titled "Elvis Presley's Graceland - Official Guidebook"
There will also be trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

I can hear you all now. Mike isn't GOLD. He won't be able to sing this round. Kind of like a bonus for you in this round huh? Well maybe I'll just fool you. I've been saving my money from recyling cans and bottles. I just might have enough. And remember, you don't need to be GOLD to flip the page......or maybe you do in this round.
Congratulations to the 15 contestants remaining. Not sure I'd want to be going up against any of you...Mike
Congratulations to all moving on! I was fortunate to make it as far as I did with the singers that still were in this contest. Rita, a fabulous job with the contest. Thank you for allowing me to sing along with you all.

Wow thank you judges for allowing me to move on with all these talented singers...I'm really gonna miss those who have left us but, I can always go and have myself a listen whenever I choose to cause I have the option to flag here..So I can visit them whenever I choose...
Rita that was one awesome thing you did by sponsoring those that were not gold...
I love my gold membership...I can change key's when I want and now sing all the gold song's that are listed also... There are alot of feature's that come with that gold membership so I think those that get to try it out for a month will be more than happy with it...

Hi Gang! It's my lunch time so wanted to check in on everyone. I didn't have much time this morning and I forgot to add something that I meant to add.
I wanted to give all of the contestants a heads up on our final round so you can be thinking about what you want to do. In the final round each of our 10 finalist will be doing 2 songs.....one of your own choosing (from any of the Elvis tracks here on SingSnap) and a song of my choosing. The song I choose may be a little challenging so thought I would let you know and you can either be thinking about the song you want to choose as your choice song for the finals and you might even want to practice a bit before you actually have to do your entry. You will have a little extra time in the final round to complete your songs. This is just a little preview on what is to come so you can prepare if you so choose to.
Thank you all for the sweet comments.....I think this whole group that has taken part in this contest is just the best! I hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as I have. Now I'm gonna eat my red beans and rice...LOL Hugs to all! See ya'll tonight! Oh...gotta do a quick update here...

LoveSong, Sparky. Brockabilly, and A_Bum.....Please continue to share your songs with us. It wouldn't be the same if you didn't stick around. If any of you are interested in helping judge this round or the final please pm me. We need all the help we can get. Hugs!
DEADLINE FOR SONG ENTRIES WILL BE THURSDAY, JULY 24th AT 7:00pm (SINGSNAP TIME).

Wow this is wonderful .. thanks so much to all the judges for letting me continue .. Rita wow you leave us all speechless .. you're generosity is incredible you're one of a kind I'm glad I had to opportunity to get to know you .. Sad to see Rick, Brock, Sparky and Abum go hope they'll stick around till the end.
Ok so this is the solid gold round .. gonna go check out the songs
Thanks so much for allowing me to continue in this great contest - I was really worried that my dodgy American accent would see me go this round! lol It's always sad to lose some of our number but I know it is really disappointing when you go out so late in the contest but the standard was fantastic this round so it must have been a tough choice. Commiserations to Rick, Tony, Phil and Marky - you were all brilliant guys. Anyway off to think which song to go for and let's all sing our socks off and make the judges work.
Thank you again, to those judges that saw fit to put me through to this next round. I too, feel that it's an honor to be part of the remaining group. I continue to remain on the edge of my seat each time a new round appears, expecting to see my name on the list of those not moving on. I've been very fortunate so far. Again, my thanks to all that have been judges and given me the opportunity to continue in this awesome tribute to the "King"
None of you, that are no longer in the competition, should feel that you're any less talented than anyone that has moved on. You all were marvelous on each and every song you sang. It's been a privilege to have met up with each of you and I hope that we continue to cross paths here on SS.
Here is a shared song for this round. I had never tried it before, but I heard it sung last round and thought I'd give it a shot.........
I'm so honored to be around another round I'm speechless. This contest has been such fun and so many wonderful folks singing some mighty good songs!! Everyone has been so super and supportive I've been blessed so very much. Thanks so much Rita for such a wonderful contest and the chance to meet so many wonderful folks!! God Bless, Dwayne
Hi! I'm not in the best of voice, but in between coughs and hacks I heard this song on youtube and just had to do it 'cause it's in a "safe" key! Hope you like it. It's for the shared section. Congrats to all who are moving on. You worked long at hard at this and you all deserve to be where you are. Take care, Joe
The song is "MINE." (Never heard this until about 20 minutes ago.)

LOL....And that's probably what I'm going to do for a few weeks once this contest is over. Well....I can't say I'll stay away from SingSnap totally but I'm going to take a little break from hosting a contest. I do have another contest in the works for the future but I won't be doing it right away.

A10cgirl has announced the winners of "dreamin' of the grand ole opry"Hi Gang! It's my lunch time so wanted to check in on everyone. I didn't have much time this morning and I forgot to add something that I meant to add.
I wanted to give all of the contestants a heads up on our final round so you can be thinking about what you want to do. In the final round each of our 10 finalist will be doing 2 songs.....one of your own choosing (from any of the Elvis tracks here on SingSnap) and a song of my choosing. The song I choose may be a little challenging so thought I would let you know and you can either be thinking about the song you want to choose as your choice song for the finals and you might even want to practice a bit before you actually have to do your entry. You will have a little extra time in the final round to complete your songs. This is just a little preview on what is to come so you can prepare if you so choose to.
Thank you all for the sweet comments.....I think this whole group that has taken part in this contest is just the best! I hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as I have. Now I'm gonna eat my red beans and rice...LOL Hugs to all! See ya'll tonight! Oh...gotta do a quick update here...

Thanks so much for allowing me to continue in this great contest - I was really worried that my dodgy American accent would see me go this round! lol
It's always sad to lose some of our number but I know it is really disappointing when you go out so late in the contest but the standard was fantastic this round so it must have been a tough choice. Commiserations to Rick, Tony, Phil and Marky - you were all brilliant guys.
Anyway off to think which song to go for and let's all sing our socks off and make the judges work.

Thank you again, to those judges that saw fit to put me through to this next round. I too, feel that it's an honor to be part of the remaining group. I continue to remain on the edge of my seat each time a new round appears, expecting to see my name on the list of those not moving on. I've been very fortunate so far. Again, my thanks to all that have been judges and given me the opportunity to continue in this awesome tribute to the "King"
None of you, that are no longer in the competition, should feel that you're any less talented than anyone that has moved on. You all were marvelous on each and every song you sang. It's been a privilege to have met up with each of you and I hope that we continue to cross paths here on SS.
Here is a shared song for this round. I had never tried it before, but I heard it sung last round and thought I'd give it a shot.........

Hi! I'm not in the best of voice, but in between coughs and hacks I heard this song on youtube and just had to do it 'cause it's in a "safe" key! Hope you like it. It's for the shared section.
Congrats to all who are moving on. You worked long at hard at this and you all deserve to be where you are. Take care, Joe
The song is "MINE." (Never heard this until about 20 minutes ago.)

Well....I can't say I'll stay away from SingSnap totally but I'm going to take a little break from hosting a contest. I do have another contest in the works for the future but I won't be doing it right away.
