As I have listened to as many of these interviews as the next fan, I personally think they have been keeping people guessing to large degree, as to what they really want. In short, outside of the obvious things, I'm not so convinced they really know what that is just yet. Why? Because every interview, although basically the same, still goes kind of all over the map, when they describe what they want. Almost like they could just do a tribute album with 12 different vocalist like the Encomium Cd. I think I alluded to this idea in another post, but they sort of keep adding things on, as to what turns them on in a submission.
Doing an audition this way is a very precarious thing, and I am sure they know it, and will handle it with success.
The proof as always, is in the pudding. Singers must be present and prove it live in person. The mixed bag of results that comes with live videos, personal video bios, and one off recordings, leaves so many unanswered questions, it's mind numbing to deduce. I applaud their fortitude, and of course everyone who submitted, this is one TALL order indeed.
The fact that they seemed to get into Youtube video personal introductions, which is cool, but not that many submissions have one like that, and many people may not have the means to do it. So, who really knows? I sure don't, other than the obvious. I am definitely looking forward to seeing this play out. What else is there to be said?
