About Capital Crown Talent

Up-tempo pop is a catchy and popular genre of music that is typically characterized by quick and steady tempos, catchy melodies, and relatable lyrics. Pop ballads combine elements of pop music with a slower tempo and often emotional lyrics. Focussing on themes of love, heartbreak, and personal experiences, pop ballads typically build to a powerful and emotional climax. 

A Broadway song is a song that is specifically written and performed as part of a stage or screen musical. It serves as a way to advance the plot, develop characters, or express emotions within the context of the story being told. Broadway selections can range from upbeat and energetic numbers to emotional and introspective ballads. Judging is based 50% on vocals and 50% on presentation.

A country song typically features storytelling lyrics that revolve around themes such as love, heartbreak, rural life, and home. Country music has evolved over time, with different subgenres like traditional country, pop country, and country rock. Country music has a strong emotional connection and resonates deeply with its heartfelt lyrics and relatable stories. 

Learning songs in other languages helps to explore different cultures and broaden your musical horizons. Singing in another language exposes you to new melodies, rhythms, and vocal techniques that may not be as prevalent in your native language. Compete with any song in a language besides English. Songs must be 80% in the second language. 

A duet is a collaboration where the singers share the piece, often harmonizing, creating a unique and powerful dynamic. Duets should showcase the chemistry between the singers, adding depth to the overall sound and presentation. Pop duets will be separated from Musical Theatre selections. You can compete in either or both categories. 

A rookie or “novice” competitor is someone who is just starting out in their singing journey, and may not have much experience performing on stage or in front of an audience. You may be learning and honing your skills, but if you have the passion and determination to showcase your talent and improve along the way, Captial Crown Talent is the place for you!
