ahhh, I'm so glad you chose that melody. it's been in my head since he posted it. lovelovelove it. can't wait to see how this song turns out with a full band.
I thought is was a really good melody, but perhaps there needs to be a section in a slightly different key or something like that? At the moment everything everything in the song seems quite similar, I think the seperate parts need to be differentiated a bit
LAWL!!!! I've been following this project for a while, and I think its totally AWESOME! Anyways, i was looking for bands that need members via google, so i typed in "Band Auditions" and this video was the second result!!!!!
Wow, this is going by so fast! We already have the whole song and there are member auditions already! Well, this is where I sit back and cheer everyone else on. My song was not used so YAYS to the people who were picked, and good luck to the people auditioning! (By the way...has anyone told you that you look lot like David Tennant? It's the hair. Kinda cool!)
They wouldn't be able to provide transport from abroad, since the profit made from the show is going to charity. Also, it is a BBC thing - the British Broadcasting Corporation. Sorry for the bad news. x
She has a show called, funnily enough, The Charlotte Church Show. It's a chat show, with funny sketches, and she usually sings with someone at the end. And, yeah, she's pretty big but not as a singer any more - as a TV host and celebrity in general.
A few questions: Since the chosen melody is now known, should we audition singing/playing this particular song? I guess that would be useful. If so, could johnnydark provide the chords? And finally, can female singers transpose?
BBC Switch is also following them, so a bunch of people from there may also buy the single. In most cases yours would be a good point, but we're trying to keep the optimism levels high here. :)
The melody has a pretty good chorus, I'm not a fan of the rest of it though. It'll probably sound better when it's all spiffed up. It's pretty much guaranteed that we'll buy the song from, but to get the public on board with that song is probably going to be a bit more difficult.
I think that's a good plan if you can afford the trip! Flights to London are usually reasonably cheap its not like they're doing it in Macau or something :)
DARN! ive been away for a week and just found out about the furthering of the project. that's my video response audition up now but if its not accepted as an audition then i guess that's just had the cooky crumbles. thanks anyways x
I'm not auditioning myself but, in order to make it fair for those who are, I think only one audition per person ought to be allowed. Some people have submitted five or more videos of themselves, either hoping that will make you remember them better or hoping you might one of many videos. It isn't fair and it really shouldn't be allowed. It wouldn't be fair if you chose someone who has submitted more than one audition. Everyone should have the same chance of showing you what they can do. x
Important question! if someone (like me) lives outside britain, films an adition clip, and gets picked, would i have to pay to get to britain, or would that be payed by someone on your side? or is it hopeless for anyone outside britain to get accepted?
haha wow check all these comment :O wow thanks guysss :D that means sooo much. but the auditions face to face are this weekend and ive not heard anything back :( guttttted. hey ho :) x
Gosh wish I was that age again..oh and yes I could sing...now? so so.. Really enjoyed the video. Well done, and you remind me of a younger..obviously and even cuter David Tennant.That cant be bad,,
The music industry needs something different. There are too many 'clone' type bands out there at the moment. I had this idea of starting a band with a totally different style of music. With mixed instruments like violin, acordeon, a good beat and where the human voice would work as an additional musical instrument. Just a thought.
hi i have a question, erm if we are going to be putting up an audition for voice or anything, then do we have to sing/play the winning song...if we do could the winner/chartjackers please put up the song lyrics and a more clear sound track for us to learn from please.if not im gonna guess hat just means we can sing any song really...havnt decided properly yet...but yeh thank yoooooooooou! x
I kind of like the idea about doing male / female duet if you split of the lyrics, the song actually makes a really sweet conversation like if singer 1 (really the roles can go either gender) sang any of the parts that said "I got nothin' " and then singer 2 would sing any of the parts that build the other up like "Cause you know love ain't forever, But I've won the greatest prize. etc etc etc" I think it would give the song a greater story and more sweetness
A good example is some voices from the balkans or Portuguese Fado. Those singers are amazing. Mixing that kind of singing with something modern like a bit of dance and rock would be awsome. I've got the voice but I cannot play any musical instrument. One day...
Just realised video responses wont come up until they're approved by the guys :) Says so once you upload can't wait to see everyone elses and see what people think of mine :D Eeep this project is so exciting haha :D
Sorry to repeat that which a number of folk here have said, but I too believe ChristyFriedRice to be worth checking. She has a diverse range, and a very nice....voice :p
BUT I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO METING YOU AL! ME AND MY FRIEND HAD GOT EVERYTHNG ARRAGENED, AND WE WERE GOING WEATHER OUR PARENTS LIKED IT OR NOT! -sniff-
So I audition with any song I want? mmmkkk.............what instruments are you looking for? I can play piano, drums, and trombone really well. That would be appropriate for a band right?? **TH-camr suggestions appreciated!**
suspected that you mite choose him. its not bad actually You really need to make sure you get a decent producer more than anything! I'd really recommend hiring a professional one and a VERY good sound engineer.
Just wondering, considering I did the guitar part originally, do I need to audition again? I mean I might aswell just link one of my other music videos of me playing a whole bunch of instruments :/
A posh toff? Do you even know what that means, or do you just know nothing about about accents and dialects?
ahhh, I'm so glad you chose that melody. it's been in my head since he posted it.
lovelovelove it. can't wait to see how this song turns out with a full band.
im so glad you cjose that melody!!!! you guys have an ear for good music!!!!
i don't think so, because i presume all the recording and getting together will be done in london... or if not in london un the UK at least...
The melody sounds great. I can't wait to hear the finished song.
They're not doing it live any more, as it says in the video and in the description.
I thought is was a really good melody, but perhaps there needs to be a section in a slightly different key or something like that?
At the moment everything everything in the song seems quite similar, I think the seperate parts need to be differentiated a bit
LAWL!!!! I've been following this project for a while, and I think its totally AWESOME! Anyways, i was looking for bands that need members via google, so i typed in "Band Auditions" and this video was the second result!!!!!
I agree, this one should have won!! I LOVED this one the most!
True, I grant that. Still, I believe that the option should still be available. There are people that are able to afford the trip if selected.
Wow, this is going by so fast! We already have the whole song and there are member auditions already!
Well, this is where I sit back and cheer everyone else on. My song was not used so YAYS to the people who were picked, and good luck to the people auditioning!
(By the way...has anyone told you that you look lot like David Tennant? It's the hair. Kinda cool!)
yay i loved that melody choice! i think it's the catchiest and it's very bubbly!
Great melody choice. I'm so excited to see the final product. This is so greeat :D
They wouldn't be able to provide transport from abroad, since the profit made from the show is going to charity. Also, it is a BBC thing - the British Broadcasting Corporation. Sorry for the bad news. x
She has a show called, funnily enough, The Charlotte Church Show. It's a chat show, with funny sketches, and she usually sings with someone at the end. And, yeah, she's pretty big but not as a singer any more - as a TV host and celebrity in general.
i like the melody .. this project is going really well ! congratulations
Yeah I agree. I wouldn't be able to do any shows or anything but i would still like to audition.
I'm so happy that melody was chosen. It was my favourite.
A few questions:
Since the chosen melody is now known, should we audition singing/playing this particular song? I guess that would be useful.
If so, could johnnydark provide the chords?
And finally, can female singers transpose?
BBC Switch is also following them, so a bunch of people from there may also buy the single. In most cases yours would be a good point, but we're trying to keep the optimism levels high here. :)
Oh yes! The right melody won :)
Did enjoy the other entries but that was definately the best for a chance at number 1
sounds nice and catchy, looking forward to the finished product :)
No - how would you expect to get to the recordings?
I really like the melody chosen! I'm so glad you picked one of the more pop-ish songs. :D
The melody has a pretty good chorus, I'm not a fan of the rest of it though. It'll probably sound better when it's all spiffed up.
It's pretty much guaranteed that we'll buy the song from, but to get the public on board with that song is probably going to be a bit more difficult.
So... we have to be from the UK? Unfortunate. I would like to sent in a uke part, but alas, I'm American.
has a melody been picked yet? who won?
It's really hard for people from the US or even the rest of Europe to get to the recording studio.
how can we though...like if we're singers? no backing...hard to make out the exact melody!
definitely the best melody, good job guys!
and omg ur hair
I think that's a good plan if you can afford the trip! Flights to London are usually reasonably cheap its not like they're doing it in Macau or something :)
i'd kill for a whole video of you saying "london" :)
*melts*
ChristyFriedRice you are actually amazinggggg you should TOTALLY be in the band fer sure
DARN! ive been away for a week and just found out about the furthering of the project. that's my video response audition up now but if its not accepted as an audition then i guess that's just had the cooky crumbles.
thanks anyways
x
great melody choice!
i'll watch when it comes on youtube...for i am not from the uk and cannot watch bbc. =D
I'm not auditioning myself but, in order to make it fair for those who are, I think only one audition per person ought to be allowed. Some people have submitted five or more videos of themselves, either hoping that will make you remember them better or hoping you might one of many videos. It isn't fair and it really shouldn't be allowed. It wouldn't be fair if you chose someone who has submitted more than one audition. Everyone should have the same chance of showing you what they can do. x
i honestly CANNOT get over how ridiculously goodlooking this boy is. i mean seriously!! :O
You mean like a built in webcam? If it has that, then it should have a built in mic too.
ChristyFriedRice:
the girl has skills!
great singer and great guitar player, you should be honoured to get her!
You know I think that melody could actually get us there xD it's got that sort of modern pop-ey happy bouncy thig going on :)
hopefully by wednesday cos i want to do my audition early tomorrow morning (on net tomorrow morn)
aww I was a pretty big fan of the crazy piano kid. Oh well. this one is quite solid I think
To audition for voice shall we just post a song or the the song they're going to use?
he means that they are jacking the UK charts, not international etc.
What kind of things should we play for the audition?
Important question!
if someone (like me) lives outside britain, films an adition clip, and gets picked, would i have to pay to get to britain, or would that be payed by someone on your side? or is it hopeless for anyone outside britain to get accepted?
well, I've considered trying out for vocals but.... I'm in the middle of Kansas. we don't have studios here. house fail.
do u need a composer??? i have few compositions that might be of interest to u guys... thanks
You met Charlotte, Paul and Lorraine? AWESOME!! Congrats boys!
I saw that guy, I liked it.
So hope you find a great band.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha wow check all these comment :O wow thanks guysss :D that means sooo much. but the auditions face to face are this weekend and ive not heard anything back :( guttttted. hey ho :) x
christyfriedrice should make it into the band, she's amazing and has soooo much to offer!! :) X
Gosh wish I was that age again..oh and yes I could sing...now? so so..
Really enjoyed the video. Well done, and you remind me of a younger..obviously and even cuter David Tennant.That cant be bad,,
So that's how it works. xD
I guess I have to wait too.
This trully is so much fun!
is charlotte church still big in the uk?
whatttt the hell...she was all popular here like 10 years ago...
i didnt fight! i merely told you you were the nicest most humble guy ever.ah well. and you corrected something that was obviously an error in typing.
do u a composer??? i have a few compositions that might be of interest to u guys... thanks
Do we have to sing that song to that melody for the audition? or any song...
ohhh I like the melody :D
its so happy sounding !
:D
I might audiiton, but idk... Im probably not good enough.
does the song we audition with need to be THEEEE song
or just anything we fancy playing?
Bloody hell, you ran into some awesome names and STROM TROOPERS! Jealous.
scratch that idea! theres no way i can interpret a guitar melody...
but ill post a video!
The music industry needs something different. There are too many 'clone' type bands out there at the moment. I had this idea of starting a band with a totally different style of music. With mixed instruments like violin, acordeon, a good beat and where the human voice would work as an additional musical instrument. Just a thought.
@misfitsfan28 did you ever find a lead singer?
hi i have a question, erm if we are going to be putting up an audition for voice or anything, then do we have to sing/play the winning song...if we do could the winner/chartjackers please put up the song lyrics and a more clear sound track for us to learn from please.if not im gonna guess hat just means we can sing any song really...havnt decided properly yet...but yeh thank yoooooooooou! x

"Cause you know love ain't forever,
But I've won the greatest prize.
etc etc etc"
I think it would give the song a greater story and more sweetness
I absolutely agree. I said this earlier.... I hope they take this into account, that people uploading more than one video are being greedy. x
A good example is some voices from the balkans or Portuguese Fado. Those singers are amazing. Mixing that kind of singing with something modern like a bit of dance and rock would be awsome. I've got the voice but I cannot play any musical instrument. One day...
oh wow they chose the melody. That guy was my favourite!
that bare knee was soo sexy!! XD
cant wait to see how you guys progress during the weeks with this insane project!
GO CHARTJACKERS!
peace,
lia♥
I was going to audition, but i dont stand a chance.. Good luck everyone who was brave enough to try! :) x
great.youre the nicest humblest guy ever.
Just realised video responses wont come up until they're approved by the guys :) Says so once you upload can't wait to see everyone elses and see what people think of mine :D Eeep this project is so exciting haha :D
Sorry to repeat that which a number of folk here have said, but I too believe ChristyFriedRice to be worth checking. She has a diverse range, and a very nice....voice :p
i realli like the melodie. i think this song is gunna b gr8! the show will b on in a few mins and ive set a reminder hehehe xxx

BUT I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO METING YOU AL! ME AND MY FRIEND HAD GOT EVERYTHNG ARRAGENED, AND WE WERE GOING WEATHER OUR PARENTS LIKED IT OR NOT!
-sniff-
Oh man. I live in Japan. Can't I join?

Yeah but there's not much else they can do it. It is for an English programme
Good idea!
I was like :Uhhh, I don't live in the Uk! **Sad face**"
but now it's one of those shiny **Happy Face***
you ever been told you look like michael palin? you sort of sound like him aswell
So I audition with any song I want?
mmmkkk.............what instruments are you looking for?
I can play piano, drums, and trombone really well. That would be appropriate for a band right??
**TH-camr suggestions appreciated!**
Yay, videos are up :D Everyone's are amazing! Welldone guys =]
cant wait for the final results
does this mean... that even if were in the US we can still audition??
YAY! That was so the best melody!!
Such a fun melody!
How does this guy do his hair???
shoud we audition with our own songs or with the one that you picked for the melody?? im confused... :S
Great job, dude.
wait, can we be canadian and maybee play on the recording
can we audition even if we live really far away? because i really would love to do this but i cant afford to fly to london
it's UK only in that they're jacking the UK charts
Yayyy that was my fave melody, excellent choice :D
yes! i am so glad chartjackers is doing well
Awesome choice for melody =D
suspected that you mite choose him.
its not bad actually
You really need to make sure you get a decent producer more than anything!
I'd really recommend hiring a professional one and a VERY good sound engineer.
Just wondering, considering I did the guitar part originally, do I need to audition again? I mean I might aswell just link one of my other music videos of me playing a whole bunch of instruments :/
