Singing Contest Update! Suggestion, Anyone?

I don't think any of the finalists are writing their own songs. They actually pick their choice. I will have help with my professional singer friends and my husband. They are in a band. Finalist can sing duet or sing with a band. 😊 and also they need to write an essay regarding the song or the experience they had with the song.

Yeah those who have many subscribers have more chance in winning when it comes to voting (realtalk)... Though I want to say that people will vote the best with talent, that's just not the case at all times. I'm not against those participants with many subscribers/supporters, but I also want to give real chance for everyone...

I may not be a professional in writing and singing but I guess I still know which sounds better and which is written nicely. But as I've said I am not a professional in writing and Imma need a professional to help me out. 😊 And that's you... You are good in making feedbacks especially in writing. I know that for sure. We may have contradictions regarding writing before but I still take your feedbacks and tries to improve myself regarding all those feedbacks I get to everyone.

I remember when I was still a newbie @mictoranni and @telesfor (if I'm remembering this correctly) were those who taught me about posting legal images. I thought getting a photo at google was okay and legal just to be taught that there are things to consider that I didn't really know. haha And I'm glad and I applied it in every article I posted after they told me about it.

And you, you were always giving feedbacks regarding how I can improve and how a reader (that that has knowledge in writing) would read my stories/contents. I remember one time I was really discouraged (at first) with one of your feedbacks and I expressed l my sadness about it and how I felt really disappointed with myself and we had a little exchanged of thoughts regarding it. But then whenever I write another article, I always think, 'Isn't this starting to get boring', 'Would someone like wakeupkitty (someone that has a better knowledge in writing) read this?', 'would n't it sound off or anything like that',... Things like that whenever I write an article or story. I may still not be the perfect. It may still not be the 'wow' type or articles/stories. BUt I'm still learning. I think there is really no end in learning. No matter what it is. There will still be a door for inprovement. That's life. 😊

I'm glad though that even though I'm not a professional writer, some people likes my stories/articles. And I'm proud of every article I publish. May not be perfect but for me, they are perfect for now until I improve again.. 😊

Oh gosh this comment has become more like an article already. Should I edit and make it as an article ahahha. just kidding...

I'm looking forward to your participation as one of the judges of our contest and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your feedbacks in my future articles..

So I see you wanted to change the Final Round judgement. And wakeupkitty is willing to be the judge, then this means no more peoples votes? And what are the criteria of judgement? Now, this is getting serious, and I'm nervous. LOL.

hahahaha judging is only 25% of the finals scores. votes has 75%... I will talk to wakeupkitty and wait for her confirmation so we can talk about the criteria. But mainly it's voice quality and writing quality. So you need to get really serious in writing a quality content out of the song you picked. We all know wakeupkitty is a good judge when it comes to writing. 😊 we will talk and decide wether be both have percantage in that 25% like divide it into ourselves of we should both agree of who we choose. We will still talk... 😊😊😊 don't worry and just enjoy.. 😊😊

You know just like me it has nothing to do with the amount of subscribers. If each person following me would upvote each post of mine it would look completely different. They do not. I can not even get 10 upvotes which means if I believe my followers I am a lousy writer. The problem is the upvotes and comments are not given by those who really took the time to listen, read. They do it because they join the circles and earn more this way. This means those who don't and are good will never win.

@wakeupkitty, are you saying yes to be one of the judges? if yes, how can I contact you?

t would be better to know that subscribers are earn because of their trust in you as a writer. I would want to believe my majority of subscribers are genuine. I know some just subscribed and not a real subscribers. I am still grateful for them but of course a part of me still wants and believes that these are genuine. And I love them. I appreciate them, no matter their reasons are. I just feel it is nicer.to know they subscribed because they believe and like me. 😊 That's why I'm not envious to other users that has more subscribers than I am. 😊 What matters for me is that, there are people who enjoys my write ups. And believes in me sincerely. 😊

Oh that's great!!! Judging will be on finals... It will start next week. Maybe tuesday or wednesday.. But if we have a wildcard edition, finals will move a week more. Cause next week will be wildcard edition. (Just in case I push the wildcard edition) Finalist will consist of participants (wildcard excluded)

I'm still thinking how many participants in wildcard edition to choose. Do you have any suggestion? 3 maybe? Or 2?

So we will have approximately 8-9 finalists when wildcard edition will take effect.

Their (finalists) submission for entries will last 1 week. After one week, we have 2 days for voting and judging. But I can extend the judging and voting, if you think we still need time...

I wonder how to contact you though... I don't have telegram, no IG, no Twitter and whatnot. I only have my mail and FB... But if you prefer telegram Incan create an accnt for this. and disable it after ahaha. (Just because I don't really use these kinds of stufff and I don't think really need to aside from this contest.) 😊

Is @heartbeat1515 open for volunteering for this? She knows more than I do in regards to singing. She composes her songs. 😊 But I don't see her activities lately. Or maybe I miss it in my notifications. Other than her readcash accnt, I don't know how more I can contact her...

Anyways, with all these details regarding judging the contest, will you still be willing to take place in judging this contest? 😊

I am here just wandering around. A bit busy lately. I do not mind being a judge, I do not need payment either.

I am still confused about this contest. I have a few question though.

1. It said celebrating RC so, will it be an original songs singing contest? Since RC is about original content.

2. If it is an original song, the judging criteria will be lyrics, voice, and pronounciation of the lyrics should be clear. If it is a cover song (singing someone else song) the judging criteria will be tje voice and video quality. I guess more points to those who play music instrument on their own?

3. What is your aim for this contest? Because if I am to be a judge, I need a guidelines.

1. Nope. Cause.I don't think any of them writes their own song. But they will have to create an original write-up regarding their thoughts or experience with the song.

2.Just voice quality. They are not required to show their faces. 😊 Voice quality and choice of song maybe.. I want to be fair with everyone. It will be unfair for those who don't play an instrument. So we'll just judge their voices and their write-ups.

3. This was actually put up when there were tons of subscription buying kinda giveaways, low-quality giveaways. And they can't be stopped so I thought, since it was trending (giveaways and contests), why not use it to encourage users to showcase both of their passions (singing and writing) and reward them for it. Because I think, just like photography and writing, music is also a universal language. It's nice if we had songwriters that joined but we don't have BUT I'm still proud of them and happy with their entries. So, it's like an original good quality writing and a good quality singing is the combination for judging. Diction, voice quality, and choice of song for singing. Grammar, good storyline, original for writing. 😊

sis paano kung ung entry ng iba kung sakali ay tagalog tapos ung kukunin niyo ata na judges ndi sila nakakaintindi ?

I think @wakeupkitty will focus more on the content ofnthe article and the voice. Not necessarily the lyrics so it's okay if you sing tagalog. I can undedstand tagalog, I will give inform her about the message of the song, though. And for other languages that I won't be able to understand, I will have to ask them the title so I can look up the lyrics in the internet and translate it. or maybe ask them to include the lyrics in their article for me to translate it... but it won't seem to be a problem cause we will most likely be judging the tone (your singing) not the song. 😊😊😊 don't worry too much... 😊

Aww ok , I'm just hoping that she won't criticize those who are not good at writing like me.

she will give constructive criticisms. so you can improve your writing skills. don't take it personal... 😊 and that's her opinion. don't let it make you feel sad. she's nice naman.. 😊 Andito ako sis. I will give everyone encouragements especially when there's something off. But I will not make you feel bad. 😊

A perfect explanation of how she is. She likes helping other without even being ask too.

Thank you so much 😊

I keep it in mind. @Heartbeat1515 might be interested too. Please, keep me notified so I won't forget and have time to push my internet.

I am interested. How do we do this?

oh I see. Yeah sure. But may know howncan I contact you other than readcash?

You can write your email on the voting site. I'm the only one that can see it... you don't have to vote, just put your email address where I can contact you...

You can mention both of us in every article regrsing this contest. Announcements, rules, prizes, criteria.

okiee I will edit my latest update. 😊

I have finished visiting all of your participants and aome I need to listen again to make sure, I give the right comments.

You can suggest them what type of song that suits their voice. Maybe give them titles of a song so they can check it out. 😊

Sure. I'm not that good in suggestions but I can try my best.

Just samples of songs that you think best suits their voice. For them to have an idea how they really sounds like. 😊

ahahaha they are too loud pag umuulan dito ahahah d ka makapag focus sa pag gawa ng articles hahahaha

haha. i like your article 'self love' .. 😊 that's why I subscribed.. 😊

thanks sa sub! ill keep on posting articles once na matanggal yung freeze points ko hahahaha kanina pa kasing umaga d na dadagdagan 0.0 padin 😭😭

do you knownthe reason behind the freezing ng points mo? 😥

ndi nga ee kaninang umaga pa sya walang points 😥😥😭😭

ay oh?? Do you have any notice of any penalty in your account? maybe you have another accnt here using same IP address? maybe someone uses ot used your IP address when they log in to readcash? maybe you were tagged as a member of the upvoting group? maybe you were moved to spam by some users? How long have you been here at readcash?

theres no notif about that yesterday its normal i got my points yesterday but this day its 0.0 some people here also experience this points freeze they made articles already about this

sa pagkakaalam ko (not entirely sure) maliban pag may violation ka, makakakuha ka pa din ng points sa random rewarder. hindi man kasing lago ng iba pero makakakuha ka pa din.. depende kako kasi minsan you still get points to your previous activities. kaya hindi lahat ng avtivities mo in a day mabbgyan talaga ng poings especially articles. mas malaki lang chance mo is a power user engaged to your articles and comments.

wala may alam sino sino mga power users pero feeling ko ito yung may mga reputation na maganda sa website na to. pero nagikba iba daw ito weekly. pwedeng poweruser ka this week tapos poweruser ka ulot nextbweek or pwede ding hindi... ganern. depende..

ohhh cguro sila yung mga nag dodonate dito sa site ganon? ehehe pero sana naman maging fair hahahaha kakastart ko palang ganto na kasi agad hahaha

hindi naman. reputation I mean sila yung nagbbgay cguro ng magagandang contents. aricle man or comments and proven na sila parang ganun haha... pero nabanggit niya dati na 8 out of 10 na magcocomment sau ng maayos malamang sa malamang power users yun... ewan ko lang sa ngayon..

yung sau baka may mga nagreport or nag move to spam sayo. or baka may minor violation ka. pero babalik din yan sa dati. just continue doing good dito sa website. marerecognize ka din. magpapay off din ang efforts mo 😊😊

andami ko na ngang post articles subs na tao and comments sa mga comment section till now la padin points ahaha sana nga d naman din ako nagmamadali ☺️☺️ ehehe kuha kuha muna ko ng mga opinions para mas maging successful mga gagawin kong articles ☺️☺️

sana maging ok na soon... Have you tried asking readcash? nag email ka na ba?

no not yet how ba? san ko sila pede i email or get in touch sa admin dito?

asa baba. hello@read.cash

aii cge try ko muna sila kausapin thanks sa pagtulong ! ☺️☺️ tulog tulog din aba hahaha

oh. I haven't visited the homepage yet. haha asa notifications palang ako haha.. super busy today eh. baka si random rewarder lang yan. d ko la din nachecheck points ko eh hahaha..
