I have questions..  So can people audition as a group?  And if we choose to sing or rap,  does it have to be accapella?

We currently do not have a submission form to let people participate into this audition as a group.

If you rap or sing, you are free to use the song's instrumentals to perform as long credits are properly given to the original artists.

You'll have to record yourself or we won't be able to verify if you are really performing and respecting the criteria of the contest.

The video must be public in order for the community to be able to vote for you. The video can be unlisted but please note that your submission, if you are chosen for the event, will be open on Soompi for voting.

No.

For the video, could we post a video from Smule sing?

Edit: Additional question; can the video be edited in any way, or does it have to be raw?

To facilitate our selection process, we only select select candidates going through our submission form with YouTube.

The video can be edited, it is up to the performer to decide if the edit is beneficial or not for the qualification.

That doesn't stop us to be independent artists or create our own K-pop agency. Challenge accepted!

Got any idea on what grounds we could make it? I checked looks but that ship has sailed a long time ago (and we both missed it), even my bathroom asks me to stop singing, while rapping I keep coming up with "Ehm.." and "Erm..." followed by a long silence in which I search for compatible rhyme words online and last time I danced, people thought I was caught in a hurricane. Much like the above pic, I'd might add.

Perhaps I could be the silent Masked Singer?

I think we can call our new band: "Ahjussis Over Flowers"

can you post 2 videos ? Say if i wanted to do singing and dancing id post them in separate videos , does that mean I have to send 2 applications?

You can send in multiple videos in multiple categories, but please note that we will only show 1/category if you are chosen to move on to the first round. If singing and dancing are separate entries, it means you'll have to send two different submission forms.

"Ahjussis Over Wilted Flowers"?  

Should we bring in some back up dancers? Perhaps @Tinkiebell and @angelangie are interested?

What I meant is download a video off of Smule and post that to YouTube. It's easier to sing with instrumentals through Smule, and you can record yourself singing it through that app, then download the video from desktop. Is that allowed?
