Karaoke Forums

But lately I have been trying to say what I gotta say on board just to make my opinion know not necessarily count cause I know people are going to disagree but hey what can ya do ??

Does society as a whole need to lower its standards because of some that don't know their individual needs and hurt themselves with freedoms others enjoy ?  Some just seem to complain and continue banging their head against a wall  (subbing in an unreal but risky category with expectations of NO politically driven angst)

I feel bad for people like Lonman, and Jian, and others that really do want a Critique, those that DO wish for honest exchange, those that've been driven out because they KNOW they aren't "10" average singers (nobody is), and they really do care about growing and improving with others help... These types of individuals have suffered in a sense in SS,  and have been driven out of SS because a fantasyland isn't what they want.  They KNOW they are getting lied to, and don't like it, some actually are insulted by such a venue.  Those that lose out in SS, are the amateurs, novices, and ALL that do take their singing seriously and wish for genuine interaction and TRUTHFUL "Critique".. They won't get it in SS...

If I were allowed to propose something to administration that *I* felt would benefit the forum, it'd be a sub-group in the Singer's Forum visible to admitted members of the room only.  This would be a members club, and invitational type group that requires established members to approve of those they feel can function in a setting that WILL have a functioning Critique category, maybe a comments category too... This will be select group of SERIOUS singers and there would be criteria for admission.  Perhaps such a criteria would be as simple as a total of 10 viewable interactions in the current Singers Showcase beit comments left for others, or reactions to comments received on submitted material. Of the 10 total needed for admission and viewing,  5 subs would be viewable within the Critique category so those in the member-formed room that allows Critique (which can be called something like Jointly Interacting Artisan Novices Singing room) would be able to plainly view the maturity level, and ability of those admitted to interact in a setting that will have the same feature the current SS room has, but will be for the more serious singers only who can keep their cool, and HONESTLY Critique one-another.. Those that want a real recital type room...So whether it's the above room with the acronym Jians room, or Green Room, Stage left, whatever.... It'll exist for those that wish SS was realistic.

I like the idea of a separate room but.....maybe in addition to the separate room, there might be a format you would HAVE to follow.  For instance, it was mandatory that you fill out the following (the system would not allow you to send the comment without this):

1) What did you like the most from this performance?
2) What did you like the least?
3) What can be improved on?

Then, of course maybe some space for additional comments.  The rules would have to be clearly visible stating that no abuse or foul language would be tolerated, RESPECT would have to be of the utmost importance [highlight=crimson]and that there would be consequences if these rules were not followed to the T[/highlight].

so I am banned before you start?  LMAO
On a more serious note...how does one fulfill the criteria? For instance there are some who always sub under C no probs there
But what is the criteria that qualifies someone to provide a critique?

Good question......I would probably be interested in being critiqued in such a format, but as for critiquing others... ....I think i'd rather pierce my own nipples..
