So I got blindsided at viewers choice.... Gagnam Style... like really lmfao

So once I got this I translated the lyrics, and found the meaning of the song

I interpreted the song as love at first sight and using the same lyrics I was able to express how a shy person would feel opposed to someone abrasive like in the original Gagnam Style.

I'm proud of this and although the subtle arrangement was a risk, I think it was necessary to unleash the meaning of this song

I hope you enjoy my version of Gagnam Style :)

So, here is my viewers choice...

It's "I'm Not The Only One" by Sam Smith. HUGE thank you to Kkoster, you awesome human being, for suggesting this song. It's a brilliant song by a brilliant artist! Although, he has an amazing voice, so I can't live up to his standard, obviously! Thanks to viewers for picking this song for me! It's also the first time I've done a song by a man, I think, other than my audition. So it was quite different for me!

Here it is: https://soundcloud.com/martyn-macpherson/im-not-the-only-one-sam-smith

Good luck to Gohan, Ryan and Madi - all of whom are amazing and I cannot wait for the three of you to unleash the slayage you're all capable off! Woop woop! I'll be happy if im 4th, 3rd, 2nd of 1st, so from this point on, I'm so happy to have made the final and never ever expected to make it to this point, ever. I know i wont win, so i'll be happy for whoever does!

Time for Madi's Viewers Choice!

I got a surprising song, "Anaconda" by Nicki Minaj. I did not expect people to vote for this, but of course I should expect the unexpected. I wouldn't say it's my perfect song choice, but I made it work.

GL to Mat, Ryan, and Gohan. You guys are so amazing and you blew me away almost every week. All 3 of you would be great winners, now it's just up to the votes! I'm so proud of us <3

Time for Alexander's Viewer's Choice

I remember I did this song a couple seasons ago, and it ended up with a bunch of compliments from the judges. So I was happy to get this from the Viewer's Choice.

Good luck to everyone here, you're all great singers. I can't believe I'm here even, so no matter what happens, I'll be happy.

Btw judges ignore 3:51 on..... For some reason sound cloud messes up during uploading sometimes lol <3

Gl Madi, Alex, and Martyn

Well, the three of you did absolutely phenomenally! The standard is ridiculously high this year!

Well done! :D

All of you did amazing in your performances. Congratulation on finals everyone!!!

this was a really good batch of performances. congratulations to the top 4

Do we get judges comments for the last one?? And when should we post our redux??

Oh yeah, i forgot about comments! I hope we do!

Redux is due midnight tonight, Ryan :)

Judges don't comment or rank anymore... their duty was done last performance

:(

Well although I have a gut feeling that its going to be me in the polls... I have my redux.. Thankfully I recorded this when I recorded Gagnam Style because my throat closes whenever I sing. Idk

Anyways I Chose to redo Chandelier... This was my first impression and I only find it fitting to end this competition with the song I sang first.. Also this song means a lot for me and I literally connect with every lyric

Also, I find it AMAZING as to how much I've grown in the past 3 months.. The nasal has been removed, I can add vibrato on my higher notes, and my belting has improved.

With all that said, here is my Redone Cover of Chandelier https://soundcloud.com/tundratz/chandelier-cover-1

And just incase you are curious... Here is my original Chandelier

And in all I want to thank Tengaged Idol... I've learned so much about musicality through this experience in a rapid manner. The advice was sensation as I started this competition with only 6 months of actually trying to sing. I feel so much more confident in myself. I'm also so grateful for making it this far and meeting so many wonderful people.

Gl to Madi, Martyn & Alex   you are all so deserving :)

Well, I think I'll be the one finishing 4th, so this wont be heard! hah!

Anyway, I chose to re-do my 'We Found Love/I Wanna Dance With Somebody' mashup for this performance.

Now, I originally did this with a key change, but because im home for christmas I dont have a piano with me (soo sad), so I had to try to make the ending standout without the key change.

So, when I first auditioned for this process, I did not have a 'falsetto', I had no idea how to use or control it. TheGoodMan tried to get me to use falsetto at the start, but I couldn't, so I've added some falsetto to the end of the song, to make up for the lack of key change, and to hopefully show improvement! EEk!

My voice has improved so much, and I cannot believe it, my voice is much more strong now than it has ever been! So yay to TI!

Really hope i made up for the lack of key change!

GL to Ryan, Alex and Madi - a BRILLIANT TOP 3!!!

:D :D

xx

I dunno, like I'm pretty sure I'm finishing 4th, unlike what Mat thinks as he's amazing.

So I'm redoing my best piece in hopes that it'll produce the same effects for everyone else.
