Are you ready to sing!?!
A private contest on Singshot.com has been arranged for the COM125 class. You’ll be competing on SingShot.com where you’ll rate each other in terms of singing ability. The contest is scheduled to end on 17th April, to which the winners will be determined by the online community (including yourselves).
Great, so where do I start?
- Sign up with Singshot.com
- Tag each recording you want to enter with “com125idol”.
- Submit as many entries as you wish.
- Rate your fellow classmates’ submissions.
- Embed your recording on your blog to publicize it (sell it baby!)
On April 17th, the winners will be determined by user ratings.
Whatever… what will I win?
Sing your heart out as each contestants stand to win 3 extra credits. Winners will be worshiped by the entire class.
Learning Objective
This contest is for you to experience concepts of user generated content, crowdsourcing, unique entertainment forms, and online community interactions (e.g. populism).
Look here for contest details…
Happy Singing and Good Luck!

can we do it in groups? like form a band or something…hehe…
April 11, 2007 at 10:17 am |
YES, but max. four performers per group. Make sure to do a better job by adding images, slideshow or video to your recording on Singshot.com. Make it worth my while giving the entire team points.

Kevin…
I’ve tried to sing @ singshot before, but when I reviewed, it was either the music faster than my voice, or the other way round… How??? Is it because of the internet connection???
April 11, 2007 at 2:49 pm |
Ceilla, maybe you could try it in the school lab or on your friend’s computer. Try a duet if necessary
April 11, 2007 at 4:28 pm |
@ Kevin: Ahhh the sytem down!!! I couldn’t save my song, and it’s the best that i’ve done so far!!!! sob… :’(

April 11, 2007 at 6:27 pm |

April 11, 2007 at 8:38 pm |
yea… it’ll be either the voice faster or slower than the song
April 11, 2007 at 10:12 pm |
can we send more than one?? hehehe
April 12, 2007 at 12:41 am |
grrr… this assignment is sooo not fair for those who wanna earn extra credits but would rather die than sing publicly
April 12, 2007 at 2:00 am |
hey..is there other way we can publish our singing s other than using singshot..is super laggy….i sang halfway then the music like suddenly stoo..urgggh…can we just post our recordings in our blog with our own choice of songs??
April 12, 2007 at 2:56 am |
Must we submit recordings that were recorded from 10th April onwards? Can we submit songs we’ve recorded prior to 1oth April? Say..23rd March 07?
April 12, 2007 at 7:23 am |
what’s the max number of entries?
April 12, 2007 at 9:05 am |
Man, I really hate the lag in Singapore. It’s killing all the fun we have in Second Life and Singshot. I’ll give credits just for trying don’t worry.
Also, please tag your recordings with “com125idol” on singshot.com, otherwise it won’t be entered in our contest. If you tag it correctly, it will appear here for us to rate: http://www.singshot.com/contestDetail.html?contestId=2752

April 13, 2007 at 6:30 pm |
Kevin,
how to add the singshot songs into our blog? where to find the widget?
April 13, 2007 at 6:55 pm |
@ priyanka: there’s some tab on the right side when you click play to your recordings, it’s “Post recording to blog”. then you just need to put your blogger account.
April 14, 2007 at 4:40 pm |
hey i find it super difficult to post it on the blog. argh. internet’s super slow these days argghhhhh
April 14, 2007 at 6:05 pm |

i cant embed my recordings on my blog! it says: “We were unable to login to your blog site. Please provide the username or email as well as the password you use with your blog site.” sobs. dont minus marks from me *begs* HAHA.
April 15, 2007 at 1:51 am |
Kevin.. i can’t embed my recordings too.. Im having the same problem…
April 15, 2007 at 2:27 am |
you know wat? I’m really getting sick of all the &^#$^% involved in this mission. All recordings done are out of tempo, and now they can’t even be embedded on my blog. Whatever, I’m outta this BS. Mr.Kevin, I hope you would be able to take note of my participation on this one although it’s not on my blog. I’m sure you can see who did it on singshot itself.
April 15, 2007 at 3:47 am |
Hans and gang, don’t worry about the embed problem. If you remember Murphy’s Law, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Try to have fun, even if it’s out of tempo.
April 15, 2007 at 1:07 pm |
Figured I should drop the link to my blog with my “wonderful” singing on it!
