DM's Hokey Karaoke! (ROUND ONE, SIGNUPS STILL OPEN)

[DM]

Yeah kind of before my time/not my thing, but I'll be doing TLC - Waterfalls I'll skip the huge gaps between the verses and chorus that are due to the video though.

It's R&B right?

It most certainly is!

 

[Atlas]

i was first gonna do "the boy is mine" by brandy and monica but them singing in and out each other lines got confusing. will think of something else

 

[Kinneas]

In if there's still time to sign up!

I need to prove to bluecookies that I can cantar.

 

[Nilf]

So can we use that Vocaroo thing? It's pretty good all you need is a mic and it gives a link for your recording? I've done one there already as it's pretty convenient. If not I can just rerecord one for youtube.

 

[Alchemator]

Will be doing Every Time I Close My Eyes by Babyface!

 

[DM]

Yeah Kinneas, you're good to go!

I haven't looked at it extensively, but it sounds like a pretty sweet deal. As long as it gives you a direct link so that people can listen to your submission without hassle, go for it!

 

[Ninahaza]

Gonna do "When You Believe" by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. =)

Edit: Ninahaza your song is so pretty~~~~~ =)

aww thannks andrea i love that song and enjoyed singing it xD
cant wait to hear your submission :). ROCK IT ANDREA

[Johann]

I'm going to sing Black or White by Michael Jackson.

 

[Kannon]

[Fatecrashers]

I'm going to sing Black or White by Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson - Beat It
in or not, i'll sing damnit

The theme is 90's R&B guys not 90's Pop or 80's Rock

I looked up top 100 r&b songs of the 90s and Black or White was #1.

Wikipedia classifies Michael Jackson's Black or White as Rock and Dance-Pop. You might have to get DM's verdict on this.

 

[Brammi]

Raspberry Beret by Prince.

It was an 80s song but was rerealeased in 1996 for a movie.

Wait an even better Prince song was redone in 97.

When Doves Cry by Ginuwine ft. Timbaland

 

[dak]

prince - sexy motherfucker (is this ok)

 

[DM]

Jackson was definitely getting away from R&B with Black or White, but I'll allow it because it's MJ.

Beat It, though, was not in the 90s. I'm slowly finding out a ton of good R&B was in the 80s, so I just now made an executive decision:

THIS NOW INCLUDES THE 1980s DECADE.

As for that Prince song... I dunno, I'm pretty sure you can find one where he actually does some singing!

 

[Brammi]

Ok then changing mine to the original When Doves Cry.

 

[ck49]

please tell me the average contestant is way under ninahiza's level of singing, and closer to Kotw's. I decided to see how well my song should be sung. Ninahiza got me scared. Someone else upload something.

LMAO same. If someone's voice breaks and it is funny that should be an auto win, just saying. Shame my voice broke years ago.

 

[DM]

I wanted to run this karaoke tourney because I felt like the previous one got too serious. I want to reward people who sing silly songs in silly ways, not just those like Ninahaza who are obviously talented. It takes guts to even record a submission, and I give everyone props for trying.

 

[Eraddd]

Do you need background music to it? Or can it be just me singing?

And in addition, I'm clueless about R&B in the 80-90s. Someone just give me a random song, so I can just sing it.

Edit: DIdn't realize that K-Ci and Jojo were in the 90s. I'll be singing All My Life. LOL.

 

[Jackal]

hereby changing my selection to Brian McKnight - Back At One because the song I originally picked is has too much male/female back and forth

 

[Hipmonlee]

I have submitted this rounds winner to DM in mp3 form, since my internet sucks and I cant deal with video myself..

Have a nice day.

 

[vonFiedler]

Jesus, tough category. I don't think there really is a perfect song for my abilities. So it's either Purple Rain or I'm So Excited.

EDIT:

There was really only one option. Most R&B songs are just too slow and serious for me to cut loose with. I gotta go with I'm So Excited by The Pointer Sisters.

 

[Crux]

Since we're allowed to do 80s songs now I'll do When Doves Cry - Prince
