My Entry for The Voice of Steemit [25] Blind audition Stage

nsijoro (72)Verifiedin Steem For Pakistan • yesterday

Seeing some new faces showing up for this challenge, I see it as a way of gaining acquaintances and getting to know some by giving a quick intro of myself. I am Nsisong John Robert, also known by the unique acronymous username nsijoro. I am from Nigeria, based in the city of Uyo, an undergraduate who's now a well-known fresh-baked graduate from the university. I have a deep interest in music; to show how deep, I will say I'm a bit addicted, but yet for good, since music is for the soul. Searching through the net with the handle @nsijoro will scan through all my handles on Telegram, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, etc., most of which carry my picture as their profile picture.

The song I'll be singing

I will be singing OCEANS by HILSONG. The lyrics are quite self-explanatory, but every beat and lyric means a lot to me.

Why this song

At this point I need to comport myself as a man, because most times what we don't wish happens, and not backing down or turning back proves to those around you how strong you are or seem to be. Maybe I wouldn't have been this strong if I hadn't passed through different tastes of failure, disappointment, distress, and depression, or maybe I have just had enough of the instructions that have kept me.

Yes, my device got stolen in church. I mean, in church. Definitely no one outside would be so bold as to pick up on a scanty 22nd of June church gathering. Getting it stolen a week before my exam was enough reason to be destabilised. Friends on this platform can testify how I juggled academics with blogging to ensure I became outstanding at both ends. Getting a better device to blog and provide the best content on this platform has been my goal, and since I got one, not a week has passed with me engaging in and out of this chain.

A full-grown human who has two hands as I do is capable of doing his best in securing his future, though it's best to steal to be rich. This song is a consolation for me, because this was not my intention, staying away for over a month and all of this stuff, but I am happy because the creator knows what's best for me, and as his thoughts are all for good, I believe he holds my hand and I will recover it all. (A story will be told sooner.)

Why I joined?

Firstly, this would have been me judging other singers, because I know how to distinguish parts a bit, but I love contests, especially ones where you put in your best, I mean tactically and technically, like league-kind of competition. It makes your heart beep and eyes wink to see the final result, just like the Squid Game. Secondly, I believe in a higher chance of winning. Sorry if I am being too optimistic, but it's good to believe in oneself, and I do. I believe in winning, and I love music.

Questions

A few questions I have to ask are

What are the chances of getting judges who are quite musical? Do they need to share their musical history to ascertain how well the singers are judged?
Another is, how many winners are we supposed to have, and how are rewards going to be distributed?
What strategy will be implemented to support contestants via the curation system? Because I see many interested people and entries in this challenge, and since it's going to be running for a long time, how are we going to encourage/support them?

There may be a few to pop in later. I really appreciate @bossj23's creativity in hosting this contest. Keep it up, man, and I would love my friends like @animal-shelter, @miftahulrisky, and @alejos7ven to join this contest, I am sure they can sing.
