Dang. So I won't be able to hear them? OTL

I'm sure Jeremy could zip all the songs and upload them somewhere for everyone's listening pleasure.

i'm sure for professional and personal reasons the demos will only be available to Jeremy and judges. Some contestants probably don't want their demo tapes to be public. For fairness Jeremy and judges will look for specific characteristics and key things in a demo tape. Having people constantly asking him why this person is selected over another will slow the process of elimination down. Lets say a contestant has alot of friends cheering them on and if they didn't make it through the selection, the friends complain. The judges will either stay quiet about his decision and have an angry crowd, or take their time to explain their decision not guaranteeing if the crowd will accept the answer.

I wouldn't mind listening in on all this as well. Of course we will respect the judges and contestants wishes for privacy.

And I'm sure if everyone is ok with it, we can set something up to share the submissions.

Or lastly, I will keep them all to myself and they will never see the light of day. Jk.

From previous experiences in both this competition as well as other audition processes on YouTube, I'll put in my 2 cents worth. ^v^;;;

It's alright for the audience to listen to demos, so long as the auditionees consent to it. HOWEVER, protocal requires the demos to be released AFTER the winners have been announced. ALSO, the audience is EXPECTED to NOT COMPLAIN. After all, it's a judges choice. This happened last year during AE Idol, when a previous contestant didn't make it past the preliminaries. He made a huge fuss on the forum about how the judges were playing favourites and that he should become a judge himself to keep the competition "in line". Me and my fellow singers all retaliated - those who made it and those who didn't past the preliminary round - against him, saying that what he was saying was FAR more unfair than what he was claiming.

My point being: This ain't anything serious. So, don't take it seriously. That's how it goes. >w<b

Oh, also, I'm getting ready to send in my audition. First time singing Japanese in a few months... going to be a bit out of practice, so I'm going to need to practice quite a bit before I send stuff in. >w<bb

best of luck to you and all the contestants!! Your example was fairly similar to mine =D

Okay, I'm going to make an ammendment then. I'll ask that the contestants specify whether or not they are alright with having their auditions made available to the general public to listen to. The live auditions will be open to anyone to attend anyways, as long as they are quiet and respectful so the judges can hear the contestants singing of course lol.

In any case, I'll very likely put together a .zip file for download at the end of the online auditions filled with the songs of only those who say it's alright to put them up.

Does this sound fair?

I'm looking forward to the start of October and listening to everyone's auditions over the next 7 months as they come in!
