Been there. Barbary shop? |
|
| |
Indeed, with barbarians rather than barbers. |
|
| |
So it's a 'capture the flag' contest, with whomever sings the most notes into the... er... flag the winner? |
|
| |
Might be difficult to keep a bass. |
|
| |
Yes, exactly like capture the flag, but with a microphone stand. It also
has an element of Kabaddi in it, in that the fighter with the microphone
has to defend himself whilst belting out a catchy number. |
|
| |
Lovely. Suspect Martha Walsh/The Rock double-team would be unbeatable. |

Nice. Would also make the x-factor final a lot more interesting. |
|
| |
Would it be possible to automate the note-to-person mapping, or would there have to be human score keepers? |
|
| |
Well, Sing-Star can judge the ability of the singer, so it just takes a
gadget for the computer to identify who is in possession of the
microphone. Perhaps each singer could have an RFID-enabled
knuckle
duster? |
|
| |
Further events include the two-team Assault version, in which one
team attempts to protect a lone singer, while the other tries to drag
her
off the stage. Ever seen an old movie in which a fight breaks out in a
blues bar and the singer carries on regardless? That's the kind of
unwavering steel your team's singer would need. |
|
| |
Oh! I was thinking of using the voice profile to identify the singer. That way, someone shouting from a distance might out-sing someone closer by but with a weaker voice. |

Since the poster mentions Kabaddi - what's the deal with holding one's breath in Kabaddi? How do they know? |
|
| |
//holding one's breath in Kabaddi? How do they know // |
|
| |
They know by the "raider" having to constantly say "kabaddi-kabaddi-
kabaddi-kabaddi", and if there's a pause in that constant noise for a
draw of breath, you'll hear it and he's out. Hence my likening it to this:
they both embark upon a violent engagement, all the while
concentrating on using
their voice box. |
|
| |
Do you get bonus points/kudos/whatever if your blows sync with the song's percussion? |
|
| |
I suppose that eventually it might coalesce into semi staged fight-song sequences by covert groups, eventually arriving at a power ballad strain of capoeira. |
|
| |
[nick], unfortunately not. Results are borne from singing, not from the
actual fighting itself. |
|
| |
It was, I admit, a toss up between 4 pugilistic singers and 4 singing
pugilists, but I don't want it to sound like thugs screaming Tom Jones.
They've got to be able to sing first, fight second. |

interesting crossover opportunities... opera/sumo...no, not really. |
