Dear All,
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to be a blogville idol contestant. Unfortunately, things are not going well for me at this end. I am managed to record about 3 full length songs but have been cut off. Now I am tired and the money is all gone.
I understand that I will have no special treatment and that like Chicala I will be eliminated, so please allow me to eliminate myself first. Obviously this relationship was not meant to be?
I know you will ask me to try once more, so I will, in a couple of minutes, even though I have no SIM and no money. If you do not receive anything by tonight, plase consider this my resignation - albeit a reluctant one.
I hope you all enjoy blogville Idol and you guys are great!
Ide, borrowing an ancient dinosaur of a computer.
pinkpeke, you didnt even bother to explain why you disabled it..
meanwhile i was the anonymous, tooo tired to sign in then.
@Mimi...abeg no vex. we wanted pipo to concentrate more on voting for now...later we will enable it back.
who is anonymous thats bouncing like this?
idemilli

she's broke
I left my 'judgement' on the post you deleted... I don't know if you saw it.
I can't even remember what I said.
I don't have a mic set thingie. Like I said, I'm on an ancient computer.
WOW!IDEMILLI........DON KNOW WAT TO SAY AGAIN
I just logged in so you'll see it was I. I'm going to log off now and erase my blog from the cache.
To the anon saying I'm broke: Thanks.
Pinkpeke, is there anything else you want me to do? I hate to leave you guys like this...
Posted this on my page...but I'm not mad at blogville at all lol. People are entitled to their opinions, and this thing is all in good fun. The problem for me is just the timing. Maybe I'll be back for another blogville idols lol.
I think I have successfully sent it. Fingers crossed!
I so do not sound like that. It has all these weird dips and almost vanishes in some points. And it breaks off completely at one point! Snapvine is messing up.

about recording your songs thru

It is now clear that Snapv!ne with all its bugs is not ready for the web. My advice to the contestants is that they keep their songs brief and to get the best part of them done early in the recording, because chances are that Snapv!ne will drop the connection well before listeners reach the end of them.
Bobby Taylor - I don't know this song, but I really like it, or should I say, I like what you did with it. I would say this song is more blues than R and B, reminiscent of Delta Blues style or the type of song that might have been sung by plantation slaves as they worked the fields. Lots of feeling, subtlety and range.
Sparkle - In every round your voice sounds like it has been put through a synthesizer or electronic filter. This type of sound might normally irritate me, but that I actually find it pleasing here is a testament to the quality of your voice.
Lurlar - The quality of the recording is poor making your voice sound distorted and almost impossible to assess. If possible, try to record your next song either with a different microphone or using a different computer.
Tminx - I am still waiting for you to find a song that suits your unique voice. I think you should choose a song that is a bit more melodic, that will allow you to sing smoothly, even continuously, without too many abrupt interruptions, so as to bring more attention to the quality of your voice.
Last King of Scotland - I am a big fan of Stevie Wonder and as you found out his songs are not easy to sing because they demand a vocal range that few naturally have, especially baritones. This was not a great performance by any means, but you get high marks for effort. Perhaps you could try doing a Barry White song next time. It would suit your low voice and at the very least, the women will love you even more.
Diary of A G - I didn't know there was such a thing as R and B rap, but you just showed that there is, I guess. It is difficult to grade your musical talent, except to say that you have excellent timing and good mixing skills . . . I hope to hear you sing next time.
Mimi - This sounded off key, but that may have been due to the what appears to be a recording problem. Maybe a different microphone or computer would solve this.
dScribe/2ndCorin5:17 - Three strong performances, and I would say the strongest one of this round. Your voice is a gift. From the moment you speak I know you will sing beautifully in that soft, relaxed, effortless manner that you do. This was not an easy song to do as it is in a minor key but you sung it as if it were written for you.
Idemmili - I am glad you persevered, I would have been disappointed had you dropped out. We already lost two A-listers in Chicala and Abujababe and it would have been a pity to have lost a third. You were way off key at the very beginning but you then found your ear and sung perfectly to the end. There was perhaps a bit more passion in your voice this round and you also demonstrated a more pronounced, but tight, vibrato, that I did not notice before.
Chicala - Even though you are out, I thought I would commend you on how gracefully you handled your unfortunate elimination. You have loads of class and poise.
Awwwwwww mimi u did not ask me to shine........:( lol
BAD MIMI
I GOT YOU BABE
SHINE LURLAR

* Ok... quick question? What happened this round?
This round is not as good as the previous rounds... honestly. *
Bobby - You are still one of my favourites. Really Good voice!
Sparkle - Hmmm... Love the song but I didn't really feel your performance this week...
Lurlar - Didn't love it. I think your voice was too high (pitch). Some bits sounded like you were talking.
Tminx - A bit shaky at the begininning. You sounded tired... But you started to get into it at the end, heard you snapping your fingers. I wish you chose a different song. Overall - good performance but you were better last week.
Everyone Loves a Naijai Girl - I heard your song before it was taken off the voice comments. This new one is better. you started really well but didn't keep it till the end.
TLK - Couldn't figure out what the song was. You were better in the previous round.
D.O.G - Ok, you rapped. Good but there was too much of the real music playing withthe vocals.
Not as enjoyable as last week.
Mimi - You sounded like you were whispering?
You were better than a couple of people this round but it's not your best performance so far.
DScribe - You have made it to my top three!
Nice choice of song, not sure if it's rnb but who cares? Nice performance... And I loved your extras :-)
Ide I love that song... You're still one of my favourites. A bit shaky here and there but you're still good.
@from the sidelines, u got a point. might consider a redirection for my next one
@mimi- shine mimi
@london buki- u are right. i was better in the last round. recording on a cordless sucks! thanks for the honesty. should improve

(more ass-kissing? lol)
PinkPeke, you guys havent told us what songs we are singing tomoro,
gosh thats if i'm not out LAWLING
and more gosh for you guys,
you have to kick some people out, then tell us what songs we're singing, then we have to go look for the song that best suits our voices out of the ones you chose for us, then we gotta come back and record????????
okay you guys need to make it snappy!
Everyone Loves a Naija Girl - My apologies for having excluded you from my comments earlier. I could not find your recording and thought you had disqualified yourself. Your performance had among the best and worst moments of this round. When you were singing quietly, from the back of your throat, stretching the notes, you were on par with any of the top contestants in this round. But, when you turned up the volume and chased some of the higher notes in this song, you missed by at least a do, re and a mi, but still, I appreciate your boldness by putting your vocal chords on the chopping block like that, something the other contestants have yet to do.
@Mimi...How are you GF? It is like you have been really practicing...abi? Anyways, you will know very soon...
lol what can i practice when i no even sabi what we are singing? lol.
Jst sent in my voice comment guys, did u get it?
To all my fans,
Thank you for voting for me. I am so sorry I let you down by the timbre of my voice. However, may I just say in my defence, that I had been recording for a long time, full length songs that just seemed to disappear into thin air. I am under a lot of stress with this archaic computer and my SIM has still not arrived, so the one I'm using...well...
The soreness in my throat also caused me to do the unthinkable. I cleared my throat before singing, which I have never done. Usually I just phone in, sing and hang up.
I am sorry that I almost quit because of all the stress. Sometimes you get up caught up in your problems that you cease to remember that other people are rooting for you. My apologies once again.
Please keep on voting for me and I hope that I will make coming to this page and voting for me worth your while.
To Abuja Babe fan who will manage me: I hope that there will come a point in this relationship/competition when your 'management' will turn to genuine admiration. Thank you for your support.
Sidelines: Your constructive criticism warms the cockles of my heart. Keep doing what you do and I will take your views to heart.
To Idemmili fan: Thanks for being here. You're great!
To all my other fans: Thanks for voting and supporting me!
Last but not least, the two original members and founders of my fan club, Psykotik Diva and Ejura: You didn't think I had forgotten you, did you? You guys are the best, my number ones. I shall dedicate the next song to you, you're wicked!
THANKS GUYS AND HOPE TO SEE YOU AROUND!
sorry guys.. too busy, ill leave my judgement tonight, although from what ive heard, this week was not GREAT at all!! anyway, i know its not easy so well done contestants.. c y'all later
Go contestats go!!!!
I love Idemili her voice is fab but she did Not!! bring this round! but you rock anyway!!
Diary of a G is oooh soo creative and i love him for that!..
Everyone else was good but honestly i'll reserve my comments!..
To all contestants good luck in this round and the next and i am gonna be eagarly awaiting the reggae songs cos i am a MASSIVE reggae fan and i dont want ya'll to let me down!..

Good luck everyone take it to the shores!!!

I cant post my judgement :(... ive tried many times and im tired now jo
bimbylads
My judgment
This week was not as good as last week meeen!! Wetin happen ??
IDEMILI: although you started a bit pitchy but you have been consistently good since round one….dawg you rawk!!! Ide!!! U rawk!
DSCRIBE: chai! I hated the intro, it kinda took yr focus off the song, but, u have a good voice and I can’t contest that. I think slow songs fit ur voice better, as this sounded a bit breathless…. Well done though!
MIMI: I really did not like this song this time around, maybe because it was low, but I think it lacked emotion. Like DSCribe, u have a very good voice, so, next round, do try to sing louder/ not whisper and more importantly, if ur singing a song with words so powerful, put more emotion.. like.. u mean it.. . all in all, WELLDONE!!
DAIRY of A G: dude that was entertaining… why did you not sing the chorus ur self?? You can rap and really entertain, but I don’t see you doing that all through the competition or people may get bored!! Well done though!! U definitely livened things up!? U RAWK!
TLK : dude…u shouted ur beginning ….a bit pitchy, must improve on the pacing and the notes.. WELLDONE Though
TMinx: I like ur voice, I’ve always said that, this performance was low though, no emotion.. well done
LurLar: cute voice but nothing more.. I think u need to challenge ur voice more.. Stretch ur vocals… well done
SPARKLE: I LOVE KCI and JOJO!!…a bit pitchy this week, u have a good voice.. so pls bring it OUT!!
Well done though
BOBBY: GURL U RAWK!! Another KCi and Jojo! Excellent intro!! Beautiful.. songs like these are hard to sing ‘cos of the chorus which can get very boring, but, u pulled it off!! Well done!! *singin along and clickin fingers*
WELLDONE TO ALL OF YOU!! ITS NOT EASY TO COME HERE AND DO THIS EVERY WEEK!! SO WELL DONE AND BIG UP TO PINKPEKE FOR DEDICATION AND CONSISTENCY.. I no fit do am!! Una try
Bimbylads..
