mariah_4life:
I think that you did pretty good. It wasn't too pitchy and it sounded good. I think that you should've tryed to not sing the whole song with the same pitch because it just makes the performance okay, so I would try and sing it with more pitches. I think that you have potential to go far, as the last note you hit was almost the shining moment of the 4 performances that I've heard, but you just have to belt it out the best you can. Try different pitches before you record and see what can make you sound great. 6/10
Shane!:
That wasn't too bad. You did an okay job but the echo just annoyed me and you were off key at times 4/10
WAЯЯEN:
I really like it. It was refreshing. Your voice is sweet like sugar. I’m certain you will be back next week. 9/10
Rico Shameless v2:
This was perfect. I don't know if it's because you manipulated your voice, but who cares you were good last week, and you keep it up. 9/10
2. X-Dre singing Broken by Seether ft Amy Lee

mariah_4life:
I'm not quite sure what I'm hearing when you sing because it almost sounds like your voice is being forced to sing the vocals, but I think that it was kind of bad. I'm not sure if it's your vocal range or song choice that isn't working, but something is going to have to change if you want to make it far in this competition, but don't give up. Before you record your song, sing it to yourself and try different pitches and ranges to see what works best, so that we can get the best performance from you. 4/10
Shane!:
That was pretty pitchy at times.. but the background music was a good touch. 6/10
WAЯЯEN:
I’m glad you chose this song; it’s one of my favorites especially when I pretend I’m a rock star . It wasn’t amazing though and at times you sound bored, which consequently makes me feel bored and unworthy. 7/10
Rico Shameless v2:
For the most part it was OKAY, but the going up some notes was terrible. Overall, you tried...I could tell. The highlight was the part of the chorus, ****ed up in the middle, then it ended okay. 6/10
3. Hard Candy singing I Love Rock 'N' Roll and Psychosocial Medley by Joan Jett and Slipknot

mariah_4life:
It was kind of an average reindition of "I Love Rock N' Roll, but it was pretty good for the little time that you sang it. When you went to Slipknot, I was kind of disappointed because it seemed as if you tried to copy them vocally and you should always stay true to your vocals, so you're so score would've been higher if you didn't try copy them. Overall, I commend you for doing 2 songs, you weren't asked to do 2, but you did, so great job on going above expectations. 5/10
Shane!:
Quite frankly, it makes me glad that this was the first of your recordings I've listened to, and it will most likely be my last 3/10
WAЯЯEN:
What I like about you, Mazen is that you pick the BEST songs. You are obviously going to make it to the next round. Your voice actually sounds much better this week. 6/10
Rico Shameless v2:
Wow a Mazen production without the vocodor??! Anways, I enjoyed the melody, but the second part wasn't great as it's a metal song where you're basically screaming instead of singing. Although part of the chorus, the melody was great. 7/10
4. NorMal singing Good Enough by Evanescence

mariah_4life:
I think that the harmony that you did in this song with someone else or a replay of something you taped was kind of creepy, but it worked. I think that you're performance was okay, but it just kind of seemed to be in one pitch the whole time, so work on sining different pitches and tunes with your next perofrmance. 6/10
Shane!:
That was not GOOD ENOUGH for me. . No I'm just kidding. It was.. mediocre. 5/10
WAЯЯEN:
You are just brilliant. Creativity is the key to winning this competition and you are definitely creative. I listened to your performance twice; it was like listening to Rock music in a church. Risky yet worth it! 10/10
Rico Shameless v2:
I enjoyed, but what kept from a perfect score is it didn't fit your voice. I don't know why so many people did Evanescence as if they are the only rock band, LOL. But still good. 8/10
5. Kworb singing The Animal Instinct by The Cranberries

mariah_4life:
I don't know what you were doing when you recorded this, but it's not working. If you really were trying to sing and be funny, then I hope you know that this is a singing competition and not comedy central, so if you were trying to be cute, it's not funny. I hope that you actually try and sing the next time that we hear you, if you make it to the next round. 1/10
Shane!:
Eww, were you constipated? <1/10
WAЯЯEN:
PLEASE eliminate yourself voluntarily. That was awful. 0/10
Rico Shameless v2:
What the **** was that? Horrible, sorry. 2/10

mariah_4life:
It's the whole thing ... in terms of why you received a 4. The pitches, the notes, and the overall flow was horrible. I would advise watching your pitches. 4/10
Shane!:
.. ewww 2/10
WAЯЯEN:
OMG. Please NO. I can’t take this ****. STOP! 0/10
Rico Shameless v2:
Another Evanescene track...great. Anyways, this was just horrid. I wasn't feeling your pitches, and just wow. 4/10
7. Sama singing The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars

mariah_4life:
I was thinking that you were going to pull off anything that was thrown at you after your performance from last week, but it wasn't your week. Obviously rock isn't something that suits you because I only heard the same range in your voice through the whole song and that's what can kill a song, is if it's just sung the same all the way through. I hope that you can pull through this and make it further because you were one of my favorites, so don't let me down. 5/10
Shane!:
That was really emotionless. Your voice isn't too bad but it was all monotone and I got bored during the performance. 4/10
WAЯЯEN:
Every time you paused it was reminiscent of George W. Bush speaking at a podium. It was like you weren’t sure of the words you were singing and if they were coming out right. However, it was a huge improvement from last week’s spook fest. 6/10
Rico Shameless v2:
I feel it was an improvement from last week....but it still sounds like someone is pinching you to hold one note and not change. 5/10
8. Angelo singing My Inmortal by Evanescence

mariah_4life:
I heard about your story for this week and I'm sorry that you're sick and that you only had one day to perform, but for this competition you have to be consistent every week if you want to make it to the finals. I think that you're performance was okay considering the circumstances, but always put forth 100% no matter what. I also think that you should watch for some of the pitchy spots that you had when you went for the higher notes, so just practice those before recording to see if you can hit them or not and what you can do to improve your performance. Also, work on pronunciation of the words when you sing them because there were a few words that you sang that didn't sound like the words that were suppose to be sang, such as, "you're face it holds" sounded like "you're face it hearts". 6/10
Shane!:
There were some off key moments and some flaws.. but best yet 7/10
WAЯЯEN:
Hawt. This bitch does not play. He was sick and he still delivered. Kudos to Angelo! I enjoyed it a lot. You know how to pick the right songs. I love your delivery and your unique style. Job well done! 10/10
Rico Shameless v2:
Not so sure or impressed with this as last week. Definitely not bad, just wasn't as strong as last week. 6/10
9. ρз∂гσ singing Everybody's Fool by Evanescence

mariah_4life:
It was kind of pitchy throughout the whole song and it didn't sound polished, as in, it was kind of like you didn't try singing it before you recorded it. I don't know if any of you are doing that or not, but I would advise it, so that we can get the best from you when you record it. Overall, I think it was the song choice that killed it for you. 5/10
Shane!:
I was looking forward to saying you were a fool for choosing Everybody's Fool.. but it was more mediocre than bad.. pitchy at times and at the wrong time at others, sometimes both. 3/10
WAЯЯEN:
After the first 5 seconds, I knew exactly what was to come. You were screaming and out of tune. You have a serious problem with choosing the right songs for your voice. However, it wasn’t nearly as ****** as your performance last week. 4/10
ico Shameless v2:
I actually enjoyed this one. A few problems with your pitch and leading into parts of the song. It seems you were halting and halting, and it was too obvious and annoying. 7/10
10. Pinter singing Hotel California by The Eagles
http://www.zshare.net/audio/15064873651f0143/ <--download and listen here.
mariah_4life:
You're very consistent with your performances as you were probably the best this week for me. I like it and it was sweet and simple. I think you might want to watch the fact that you pretty much sounded the same the whole time, so try different pitches, but overall it was a breath of fresh air from this week's performances. 7/10
Shane!:
Pinter, I no cared for that performance 1/10
WAЯЯEN:
I guess you set my standards of you way too high with last week’s performance. I was not pleased at all with your choice of song or the way in which you sung it. You sound extremely nasally and out of breath. You could have done way better. Bring it next week. 5/10
Rico Shameless v2:
This was really really great. Pitch was really good throughout, loved the dog collaboration, and the snapping. <3 LOL. Definitely one of the best in the competition. 10/10
