Ballroom Blitz and The Hand That Feeds? You're unstoppable! Keep it up

Ballroom Blitz was #56 for me (last 3 I got were Detroit Rock City, Ballroom Blitz and Sabotage).

Timmy is way easier than Sabotage. If anything, because the hardest phrases are at the very beginning of Timmy. At some point in the RB1 days, something about talkies just clicked for me. Not all talkies, but there was something about paying attention to when I should start and end words, putting gaps between certain syllables, and stuff like that, that I just sort of started doing. At that point, The Hand That Feeds became possible (there's still one or two of them that were harder, just because they were different), I got pretty good at Blood Doll, Timmy became practically consistent outside of the first couple phrases, and more and more of Sabotage started to come with practice. If you start feeling like you "get" talkies, (which it seems like you must already), you'll probably find that your fear of Timmy is mostly psychological :-)

*will do the individual responses later, just making sure this is as close as possible to the top of this post*

One year ago, at the afternoon of March 4th, 2009, I've found myself yet again on one of those situations: "I have an XBL headset, so I can at least play vocals. Should I buy the Rock Band/band-based Guitar Hero games and try something different or should I just shut up and not be ridiculous? Well, with some help, I made up my mind.

I started out Rock Band 2 Vocals on Easy, and had some fun times. 2 days later, I broke down and made this accomplishment thread to document the developing of my RB vocal skills. Through the time, I had some really kind (and talented) vocalists supporting me. People who have inspirated me on starting vocals, such as SG, Dogfood, RJ, Kristen and others. I have a really long list of people who posted here, but these aren't the only ones who supported me. People on the GH side (like dr00bles, GuitarHailz, Wooffus, Boss and others), people somewhere else who either aren't much of SHers or they read the thread and congratulate me with other methods, and there it goes. If it wasn't for all of those people, I'd never get THIS far. Ah, the list:

...And here I was thinking you had just forgotten about that list. Put it in the OP before you forget about it

Well, whether I was at the top or near the bottom of it, that wouldn't change the fact that i'm just flattered right now.

Honestly, I can't even express my happiness in words. It truly is an honor to have you as my friend and rooting for me. You've really pushed me and played a big part in my motivation. Any congrats from you is one to be very happy for.

And as I said when you hit 200 GH Vox FCs, I know you've had some unforgiving times you got so badly frustrated over, but i'm proud of you for not letting up. Namely, when you were about to retire under humiliation, you turned around at the last second. And it was because of that that I dedicated my My Last Words bass FC to you. If it weren't for you, I doubt I would have got that. It felt so good to hit the last note in that song, as if my screaming "YES!!!!!!!!!!" when I did in my vid didn't tell you that

I can also say you pushed me to full game 5* GH Metallica on vox (and hope to get more on it) and to FGFC Lego RB. Where would some of us be without you?

I'm so happy for you. Gimme Shelter is no vox FC to underestimate. You're a wonderful person, and I do now, and will always have unconditional respect for you.

So I hope you keep going strong. And so will I. Once i'm ready to, that is. Which hopefully, will be before long.

Hey, how do you strikethrough on the SH forums? >_> like draw a line through text. *random off topic whatever*

Now that I'm here, might as well do the individual responses.

Thanks, folks!

MasterNobody - "Ballroom Blitz" seemed almost impossible to me, but that method made damn sure it'd look like an insect on the sole of my shoe. The aforementioned methods on those phrases, the rubbing on everything after that except the final phrases, to make sure I don't have another post-wink choke. That makes the trick.

IndestructibleSD - Nah, just for now!

You'll see some songs laughing at my face soon. Especially 2 of my worst songs, one is FC-wise, the you-know-what song. My worst song, score-wise, is by far and no doubt, "Foreplay/Longtime" (known as just "Longtime" for the vocalists). I'm not that much consistent in reaching the talky intact. The talky is a really solid brick wall and I still didn't hit it. Then there's the whole part after the solo. After the phrase #35 (sung by SG on that epic community FC vid), everything else is trainwreck.

I can surely work on that part, but I need to be able to hit the damn talky too.

Kawigi - I see, the standard #56. "Sabotage" is the standard #57. I'm starting to understand the stuff. On the "Will you bite the hand that feeds you?" lines, I had to over-pronounce the "that" in order to keep going. Hadn't worked on some of the songs, especially "Blood Doll", but I can see that timing is everything on some, especially "Detroit Rock City", where I didn't put too much effort in injecting the consonant, but hit the talky just with timing, and thus FC'd the song. I even had a run on Timmy where I ended up missing on the "I pledge allegiance" line, which I hit twice in a row. Maybe that's why I'm dreading it a bit more now.

FurySH - Actually, there is a reference vid showing that phrase being hit in 4 ways. It's on the RB1 engine, and you're on RB2, so it should be easier if you follow what's being done. Or you can simply do what I did: ignore the warble on the 2nd Yeah to get stay ready to the 3rd and get a bigger ammount of credit.

Chaosfreak - Oh, you and your walls of text.

Just kidding!!! I know about the pushes and stuff.

But it's really cool to have you as a supporter. Regarding the list, I based it in *chronological order*, nothing against any of you folks, I wrote the names as I saw their 1st posts on this thread.

Thanks buddy!

MehPlusRawr - You're welcome!

Not just a gift for the people on the list, but to everyone who supported me, be inside, be outside SH. To be honest, I didn't know how to strikethrough. It wasn't a command with its button, so I was confused. Guess I gotta use it sometime. And thank Kawigi for knowing about that.

Diex - Totally true!

You've been cheering me up on my road to the GHWT FGFC, so I had to join the party on your RB thread!

Before I went to the uni, I got another FC today, but I'll try to get something else, and let this special day have one special FC.

<3 this.

What is a response worthy of an accomplishment so awesome that I couldn't think about ever FC'ing it? Oh look, a bird! *chases bird*
