The arena: this was okay, let down by production quality a little which took away from the song, the acoustics of the room, and the piano volume compared to the violin (which rarely sounds good in isolation at that pitch) Lets this one down.6
Creep. This was a reasonable song. I’ve heard many acoustic covers of this; this is what let it down. The whole song for me, is about the transition from soft and tender to utter despair. This song loses that for me, I can’t not compare it to Thom Yorke, no matter how I try. 6
Didn’t know you. Against this is a goodish song but didn’t quite fizz: there’s no X factor I felt in this song that raises it above. It’s more of a regular okay song played acoustically : 6
Faded: better.... this is a good piano cover that reminds me of the uk waitrose add cover of power of love. This has a bit more to it than the others, and is a more compelling song as a result of the acoustic unplugged feel: 8.
Zombie: I’m so torn here. The song is great, but the cello? Ugh! It was played well, and the cellist was amazing, the song was super popular, but as the cello can’t help but have gaps in it when the cellist changes direction it makes it feels like the song has holes, so it was both good, but felt more empty and stilted in places as a result: 7
Pro:35
Dream on: this was a great song, better production, and well sung. It didn’t really fizz for me though, nothing that made me really drop my jaw: 7
Shut up and dance: this just sounds like they sang shut up and dance during a power cut. My issue with this is that the acoustic version doesn’t add anything nor plays to the acoustic nature of the song: 6
Sometone to you: this song again falls foul of a similar problem to the others, feeling like an average song simply played acoustically. I think this one is a bit better than some of the others, but I can’t give it more than a: 6
Be alright: much better from con here too. This song plays to the acoustic nature better too. I much prefer the voice quality with the piano here - which I find is so much better for acoustic songs. It’s not as good as pros last round: 7
I can’t help: wow. Left field. This was close to acapella. But this is so different from the original in style that it helps the song. The lack of any major instrumentation for me emphases TJs more gravely voice; and I don’t know exactly why his voice works so well with this song, but it does. I really liked the fit here: 8
Con: 34
Pro wins: 35-34
Anytime, and yeah I've heard Lindsey Stirling and she's really good, I've never heard Karmin before though
TY for the vote. I again will say that the picks you liked least were there for a different kind of voter. Lindsey Stirling and Karmin are powerhouses. Check out more of both.
It’s cool
Good luck regardless, winners win and if you are the winner I will learn from it.
the last round is the least acoustic of all. The only one I posted that pushes the edge of acoustic is my R4 as there was minimalistic editing on her vocal tone.
Your last Round was not acoustic, it was electronically edited and mastered. The entire sounds other than the ukelele, including the voice, were artificial.
ok i realize i probably should have done that so im gunna do that this round
sorry
Why don't you put the names of the songs so I can find them on Spotify SIR -_-
I LOVE arosmith
