  1. I'm sorry but you have 4 videos with no specific timestamps, nobody wants to take the time to watch all those because watching all 4 of those alone could potentially take over 12 minutes and forming a detailed analysis to those videos can easily take over 10 minutes each. Therefore your question in it's current state could take over 40 minutes and I'm sorry, but absolutely none of us want to take all that time to answer ONE question. If you want your question answered I recommend you go back, listen, and provide us with timestamps in performance of moments you thought were noteworthy. I mean you watched them and asked about them so you must have found some specific moments interesting or you wouldn't ask about it. If you had one video that would be a different that is signifactly less time spent, but you have 4 an we just can't do that, not anymore. Sorry if I'm coming off as a bitch, but this is just the way things have to be.
  2. So yeah...everyone..I'll try to get to your responses later on tonight, I'm still taking last minute responses until like 10:00 EST
  3. Okay I'm ending this conversation ^>^ We're done okay? Yeah, we're done.
  4. No need to apologize, I really don't care actually. It's just something to help you guys out and if you don't take advantage that's fine by me. Believe me, I understand not having to write a response to performance. These days I've been so busy I don't have much time to do anything really, so I understand.    But yeah to everyone who participated...either tomorrow..or this weekend.
  5. My god it's been forever....I had to go through so much pages... Umm so yeah, those of you who took part in my little quiz you'll have you answers by tomorrow night probably...I was just waiting to see if more people would do it... I'm kind of shocked only 4 of you did it, I expected more..but whatever... Ummm there will also be another little quiz tonight... same structure for the most part.
  6. Ohhh she's a water type gym leader!!
  7. So I was playing showdown because I was bored..and some people are just very rude..like get off your high horse you beat in a random pokemon battle.... Do you want a medal? I mean the person's username was "Ieatasshole" but still...
  8. Yeah a lot of people like it lol that one tends to be their most favorite loool. Really? I've only seen postive reviews at least from like the general youtube comments, I mean there are some Hyorin stans who are hating on it because people are comparing Sohyang's to Hyorin's version of Fate, y'know just being petty...but other than that select group..I don't see much oh and also Regine and Charice fans who are also petty. Nope, so uh why the name change? we've been trying to do this duet..since...2011? 2012...I don't even know LOOL
  9. Don't worry this was just an April Fool's joke~ My contract isn't up therefore I can't leave.
  10. One of her most underrated? It's one of her most known...I mean before performances like Lean on Me and Arirang that was the performance that was used to demonstrate her exellency because of the sustained E5, runs, head B5, and soft mixing even on the higher notes.
  11. I'm sorry, I feel you.    I didn't think I held it for too long though it was less than an day.
  12. April Fools, I can't leave yet my contract isn't up yet
  13. Matheus and I recently got into an arguement about the amount of work each of us do for the blog and thread and because he feels if I were to leave the thread (not the blog, because we're shutting that down) there would be absolutely no difference in productivity; I am leaving. I feel it's for the best because I'm busy and I don't really enjoy this anymore, so this is my farewell to you guys. It's been fun and I hope you guys still continue to grow as musicians,vocalist, and improving your ear to technique. Yours truly, VT Evil Queen
  14. So...what's with these group things under our names? I would like to switch from group F.
  15. Honestly, it's hard for me to tell you without being there instructing you on what to do. It's hard to write done exactly what because I can't really see what's going on. A personal trainer can only give someone a tailored workout routine only after seeing what the person is capable of doing and seeing their strengths and weakness and through that routine the trainer can watch, monitor progess and correct the person exercising they also can participate with that person. Now, of course, I can listen to you tell you your strengths and weakness and pull up some things that may be most beneficial for you, however I cannot watch and correct things in real-time which is so crucial when it comes to singing...actually training in general. Yes, I can give you scales and explain to you what to do, but I cannot correct what you're doing, I can't fix anything. Therefore I could be giving you this whole "workout" routine, but you end up doing it incorrectly and end up damaging your voice. Ultimately it could be very non-beneficial and potentially damaging.   Really, what Matheus and I do can be kind of dead end because we can't interact with people real time... We analyze kpop idols and their performances..for what? They're never going to see it so really what's the point? Like who does it benefit going through all this? Sure we may settle fan curiousness, but we do these in-depth analyses and it's not like majority of them truly know what we're talking about so where does the information go? What happens to it? I understand it's beneficial if you want to learn about this stuff and apply it to your life, but that's not the case for most people so what does it mean to them? We say "ok they're straining this E5, there's throat tension and a raised larynx" but what does that mean to them? It means pretty much nothing to them in my opinion and I say it means nothing as in..they don't understand what it means and I don't mean like they don't care. When we analyze user audios although it can be beneficial it definitely has its limitations as mentioned above, we can't monitor you guys effectively..we are so limited in what we can actually do to really make you guys grow as vocalist and it frustrates me. Honestly, recently I've been asking myself "why" do I do this because it's not like I really get anything out of it and I don't mean things like money, I mean because I am so limited in what I can do. I can tell you what good technique is, but I can't actually show you how to use I analyze performances and idols for what? It's not like idols are reading them and can actually benefit from it...I'm just doing because fans are asking, but it doesn't really mean much to them because they don't understand the "formula" behind it. So what's the point? Yes, I can teach people to hear technique, but if they don't practice...well what the point in that I know what's going on I'm doing it for you..just a waste of my time really. Of course, yes there are upsides like I love seeing you guys improve vocally and as musicians as well as seeing your improvement in hearing technique like your analysis of the IS2 performance was pretty good somethings could be polished/added, but in general everything was pretty much there. Truthfully I guess that and the fact that it would be simply unfair to Matheus to leave him to do blog+thread work or even just one..he already does the lioness's share of the work so him doing all of it just isn't fair... But yeah there are definitely times I'm like "Why do I do this? I can just stop", but I don't know...guess I just can't commit to it~ Anyway sorry this turned a huge rant, but I felt everyone should know this because idk..I just feel people kind of take us for granted and don't truly realize how frustrating this can be for us. I don't know if Matheus has ever really felt this way but I have. Believe me going from a team of like 7 to a team of 2 is extremely difficult even if those others weren't the most reliable or accurate at times...   Yours truly, VT Evil Queen
  16. Possibly, but I don't think that's the reason because just because you sing and talk everyday does not mean your vocal cords will be developed to support your singing. Think about it, you've been probably been singing since you were very young so if just singing/talking developed the vocal cords, which are muscles, then we would all be excellent. Think of it like this; we all(if capable) use our legs everyday, does that mean they are strong/developed enough for us to run 4k marathon? No, it does not. You have to train and develop that mechanism to build the strength to do that. Same applies to singing only through good conditioning and practice will your vocal cords develop just like your leg muscles. And I say good practice because it's not enough to just sing and run scales mindlessly you to make sure you are training to apply the good technique while doing it that's the only way you truly develop your vocal cords. Does this make sense? 
  17. I feel from time to time I'm going to drop questions I want you guys to answer for me so you can practice with me instead of trying your hand at questions asked by users.   So without further adieu, I'm going to ask you guys "How was this performance?" No, I will not provide you guys with specific moments to listen for because this is a test of your knowledge and how well you can analyze a performance. I will end up giving you guys a bit of a score at the end. It's a total possible of 10 points.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec_xgZcQrV4   You have 4 options  1. Analyze ONLY Yerin(Right) 2. Analyze ONLY JiMin(Left) 3. Analyze both 4. General overview of performance *easiest but may result in point deduction   PLEASE SUBMIT ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS VIA PM   I am in looking for in-depth analyses, but I am looking for QUALITY over quantity. Do not try to write as much as you can make sure everything is relevant and makes sense.   No, I don't have a rubric to provide for you...I'll draft one later...(no I won't)...However, I DO know what a good response looks like. Think of this like a free response question.    **WARNING** This performance has already been analyzed if you look it up I WILL know and you WILL fail.   I chose these this because this a good performance to start with there's both good and bad things and in my opinion they're pretty easy to spot so it's good for beginners. However my advice would be go in with fresh ears..don't expect anything that might be your downfall. Also be as SPECIFIC as possible, I want time stamps, note names, note qualities an explanation of why that note is a certain quality. Pretend like I don't know ANYTHING.   Yours truly, VT Evil Queen
  18. Contraltos are not Tenors. Contraltos are Contraltos and Tenors are Tenors. Yes, they are still higher.
  19. See and that's a problem. That girl was so obviously straining that there shouldn't have been any kind of doubt even if I said she wasn't you really should not have doubted yourself. Trust your knowledge. 
  20. Well, you can't believe everything we say now can you? Sometimes you need to use your own knowledge and intuition.
