So far I'm leaning towards Hor 4 or 8

[Hugamari]

Can I submit my own instrumentals then write to one of my own, thus swerving my way around this challenge

[TheCheetahwings]

Can I have a friend with a decent mic/voice sing it for me if I write the melody?

Yeah. Jackson's singing mine.

[CountryBritney]

I'll sing mine but be warned my voice is pure ****.

You have the whole week to learn! The good part about this challenge is for a lot of people it'll teach them something new and put you outside your comfort zone. It's a true challenge and we get that, that's why we're all here to help including Swiftie!

Lol I just googled melody and it's telling me to make chords and notes and **** I have no idea, I don't play instruments

Most of us aren't vocal athletes. :/ It's ok.

I plan on using vocoder on mine to help hide my **** singing.

You can record a piano, trombone, harmonica etc for your melody, just something that can make one.

The goal for this challenge is just to see what's going on in your head, we're not looking for an actual polished Platinum Hit, you feel?

I play no instruments.

I feel like at the very least if you're really struggling you could just whistle or even hum and we'd be able to catch on.

I can't whistle.

Absolutely not

Absolutely.

So let's talk about how this is also a triple elimination. This is giving me random difficulty spike near the end of a video game tea. Like you breezed through most the game and then this boss comes and kicks your ass repeatedly.

My unasked for advice on coming up with melodies if you've never done this before: just play the instrumental in the background and make anything up over it. Don't worry about words or anything just sing "la la la" or whatever. Then if you do something and you're like "wait that was cool" remember it and that can be your melody!

The best melodies are fun to sing. Think of how much more fun it is, for instance, to sing Teenage Dream than This Is How We Do.

Waiting for the beat to drop in Soft like

[Jackson]

Melodies aren't really something to be learn. They just kinda come naturally. So no one's really at a disadvantage. And we have people and mentors that will help you write your melodies. It's nothing to be scared of


Also does my sig look correctly centered to everyone? It looks good to me but I want to make sure

The self-portrait challenge was just the opening act.

I personally think this is the hardest challenge of the season, not accounting for the pressure y'all face in the semis and finals.

[Jackson]

ugh it messed up in the forum lemme fix this

[swiftie13]

I'm here for you.
