AUDIENCE INVOLVEMENT - DEADLINE: Sunday November 15, 2009 12:00 GMT

Just like in Round 2, the audience has the privilege to request their favourite singers sing their favourite songs again! In Round 3 it is also not mandatory to do an Audience Choice. However, in this last round the scoring also is 50% judges and 50% audience. Do you want to sing a song of your own choice to make the best of the talent or sing an audience choice to please your fans? We leave this decision to you fellow contestants.

Who can request a song?
Hidden Text:



So how do I request a song?
Hidden Text:



And then what happens?
Hidden Text:



Remember to check the Finalists' preferred languages, genres & artists! (list will be edited once we have the list of Finalists)
Hidden Text:



What happens if the semi-finalist that I request a song for does not get through to the finals?
Hidden Text:



Start sending your requests in now!

Oooh! I forgot to comment on Lachata!
Oh my, I have to say we have many sexy singers in AF. I think if they were to seduce the world with their voices, the whole world's population would die from their sexyness. haha.
iS2Sungmin, you did a very lovely job with this song. I loooove the "ah ah ah ah" at the beginning. And all those "now everybody say" parts sounds very seductive infatuated.gif haha. The only thing I never got used to was the cute part --> "hanbeon do!" it sounds very odd. keke. The choruses were great, your voice really blends quite well with F(x)'s. Lastly, can I say you have some amazing attitude with your rap? infatuated.gif Overall, this is one awesome guest performance. Come on come on come on baby!! thumbsup.gif

shocked.gif Mr. AF!!! It's about time I hear something from you. ahaha, why am I not surprised that you sang Born Rich's themesong? lmao.gif
oooh! You sound ho man ar!!! infatuated.gif You really should've joined idol. Your voice sounds more refined and stronger. I loooove the deep tone at the beginning. It would sound so professional with a better instrumental, and it's a little bit loud. This song sounds so easy for you. Awesome awesome recording! thumbsup.gif


I can't wait till Round 2 results. I'll be sleeping.

Semi-Final Result: Not-So-Fancy

As most of us here are having exams and are quite busy we are the nicest people on earth, the semi-final result announcements will not stretch out for very long. So hoorah for the humanitarian act! We will be starting real soon... And we won't be following the clock this time so we'll post something when we feel like it.

Hint 1:
The final standing is yet to be finalised but we currently know who is number 1 in this round as this contestant scored the highest in both the poll and the judges' scores.

haha well done with the statistics but judges score is just half of the score... so do you remember how you did in the polls?

and the calculation that we employ is not a complex Z score formula that takes into account the closeness of the overall score and the individual differences... well i dont really understand it myself:)
