But you spend months whining and begging for celebs and being the second nominee in a cast with 19 people... girl.

I think guib biggest challenge will be not getting banned before this edition ends.

Good evening, everyone! We've officially reached our fifth episode! We're now just two rounds away from finding out who our five finalists will be. This round's theme was: **HIDDEN GEM** The best song in an artist's catalog isn't always their biggest hit. This round challenged our contestants to showcase a true hidden gem—a track they believe deserved far more recognition than it received. Additionally, as announced in advance, the credit cost for this round was doubled. This meant contestants had to be even more strategic when selecting their videos to avoid spending too many credits. Now, let's take a look at each contestant's song choice and see how many credits they spent this round. dailyicon - Magdalena Bay — Spent 6 credits https://l1nq.com/fj5esqn yemaja - Florence Welch — Spent 6 credits https://l1nq.com/kpvbm4z MusicLover - JoJo — Spent 6 credits https://l1nq.com/tzkx1ua AlakazamKing - Linkin Park — Spent 2 credits https://l1nq.com/ygbfyj6 Maris - Ellise — Spent 2 credits https://sl1nk.com/ciulb4x Seong - NMIXX — Spent 6 credits https://sl1nk.com/0bawfbq kitty - Madonna — Spent 20 credits https://l1nq.com/nwr1i0y Fancy - Ava Max — Spent 2 credits https://sl1nk.com/ozftf28 To read the judges' full critiques, visit: https://kovaze.com/group_thread/318 Now, here are the scores awarded by each judge.

Good evening, everyone! After a short break, by the end of this blog we will find out who makes it into the Top 8 of the competition. The theme for Round 3 was LIVE EXPERIENCE.

Stay tuned—the next theme will be posted in the group very soon.

Good evening, everyone! Welcome to our third episode. The theme for this round was EMOTIONAL CONNECTION. Contestants had to choose a song that carries a strong emotional connection. It could be sad, inspiring, nostalgic, intense, vulnerable, or evoke any other genuine emotion—as long as it felt real and meaningful.

Before we reveal the first artist eliminated from the competition, let's take a look back at the songs selected by each contestant and how many credits they spent in this opening round.

The artists have been selected, the competitors are ready, and the journey starts now. The contestants featured above will represent their chosen artist throughout the entire season, facing a variety of themes and challenges designed to test the depth, versatility, and strength of their artist's catalog. Before we begin, let's welcome our judging panel for Season 1: yawnha downeaster BRAT Throughout the season, these three judges will form the competition's permanent judging panel, carefully evaluating each video and helping shape the course of the game. Their scores, critiques, and decisions will help determine who advances toward becoming the first winner of THE ARTIST. ROUND 1 — MEET MY ARTIST First impressions matter. Before we explore different themes, genres, emotions, and challenges, it's time for everyone to introduce the artist they will be representing. Imagine you're talking to a friend who has never listened to your artist before. You only have one chance to make them interested. Choose the song and video that best represents your artist's identity, sound, personality, and overall appeal. This doesn't have to be their biggest hit, their most acclaimed song, or even your personal favorite. Instead, it should be the performance that makes someone understand why your artist deserves attention. Ask yourself: • What song captures the essence of this artist? • What performance showcases their strengths? • What would make a first-time listener want to hear more? Your mission is simple: introduce your artist to the cast and convince them that this is an artist worth following throughout the season. dailyicon - Magdalena Bay 100 credits Loco - Post Malone 100 credits guib - BLACKPINK 100 credits yemaja - Florence Welch 100 credits MusicLover - JoJo 100 credits AlakazamKing - Linkin Park 100 credits Maris - Ellise 100 credits Foox - Lime Cordiale 100 credits Seong - Nmixx 100 credits kitty - Madonna 100 credits Fancy - Ava Max 100 credits SummerBABU - Summer walker 100 credits You will have 48 hours to submit your choices in the thread I will create in the game's group. CREDIT SYSTEM REMINDER Views | Cost Up to 500K | 1 500K – 2M | 3 2M – 10M | 5 10M – 50M | 10 50M – 100M | 15 100M – 500M | 20 500M – 1B | 30 Over 1B | 40 Each contestant begins the season with 100 Credits. Every submission requires Credits based on the video's view count. The more popular the video, the more Credits it costs to submit. Credits spent are permanently deducted from your season total, so manage them wisely. Running out of Credits may severely limit your options later in the game. Remember: every choice matters. Good luck to all contestants. Welcome to THE ARTIST. https://kovaze.com/group/44

PRIZE: 5000 KOINZ Do you believe your favorite artist has enough repertoire to win any challenge? It’s time to find out. In THE ARTIST, each participant will represent a single artist or band throughout the entire competition. Every round will feature a new theme, and competitors must select a song from their chosen artist that best fits the challenge. But simply picking good songs won’t be enough. You’ll need to manage resources, plan ahead, and think strategically. CREDIT SYSTEM All participants will start the season with 100 credits. Each song used will have a cost based on the number of views of the selected YouTube video. The more popular the video, the more credits it will cost. Views | Cost Up to 500K | 1 500K – 2M | 3 2M – 10M | 5 10M – 50M | 10 50M – 100M | 15 100M – 500M | 20 500M – 1B | 30 Over 1B | 40 Example: You choose a song with 1.5 billion views. Strong choice — but it will cost 40 credits, leaving you with only 60 credits for the rest of the season. Is it worth spending heavily on major hits, or should you save resources for later rounds? That decision is entirely yours. REPERTOIRE RULE Each song can only be used once throughout the entire season. Once submitted, it becomes unavailable for the remaining rounds. Managing your artist’s repertoire will be just as important as managing your credits. JUDGING Each round will be evaluated by three judges. Each judge will score every entry from 0 to 10 based on three criteria: Theme Fit: how well the chosen song matches the round’s theme. It’s not just about picking a good song, but about making a smart and relevant choice. Emotion / Impact: how strongly the performance connects with the listener, including intensity, atmosphere, emotional delivery, and overall ability to capture attention. Vocal / Technical Quality: the vocal performance and execution of the chosen recording, including tone, control, interpretation, and overall audio quality. All judges’ scores will be combined and accumulated throughout the season to form the overall ranking. VIDEO RULES Song cost will be determined by the specific YouTube video submitted by the participant. Alternative versions, live performances, and other uploads are allowed. However, lower quality videos, poor audio, or anything that negatively affects the listening experience may result in lower scores in Emotion/Impact and Vocal/Technical Quality. STRATEGY There is no single winning formula. You can choose a globally popular artist and rely on major hits. You can choose a lesser-known artist and manage your credits more efficiently. Or you can pick a versatile artist capable of adapting to different themes. Each approach has clear advantages and risks. TWISTS Throughout the season, special events may occur that can change the course of the competition. Extra credits, immunity, and other advantages may be awarded to participants. Nothing is fully under control. PARTICIPANT SIGN-UP 12 participants will be selected for the first season. To apply, send an email with the name of the artist or band you wish to represent. Artist choices are locked once confirmed and will be announced after the sign-up period ends. JUDGE APPLICATIONS We are also accepting applications for the three permanent judges of the competition. Judges will be responsible for evaluating all performances throughout the season. If you are interested in joining the judging panel, please send an email including: The music genres you usually listen to Three themes you believe are essential in a music competition like this Judges will be selected based on diversity of taste and fair evaluation perspective. Final question: Does your artist have what it takes to become the first champion of THE ARTIST? https://kovaze.com/group/44

On my tenth attempt, I finally managed to win my first Royale! I was watching the Australia game when I noticed a new match was about to start, so I decided to buy a raffle ticket. Without a doubt, this was the most fun game I've ever played! I experienced plenty of highs and lows throughout the match, and at one point I was down to just 5 health. But thanks to Tide, I managed to survive that moment. In fact, Tide was absolutely crucial to my success in this game. A very special thank you as well to Fire, Containment, opulence, and Maris, who helped me at different moments during the match. Without you, I would never have made it! Thank you all so much, from the bottom of my heart!

Projeto Hail Mary. I'm still delighted. It's a mix of science fiction and humor, but at the same time exciting.

It's unbelievable that this subject came up just to harm me in celebs. I received messages from people from the cast saying that they chose to "stay away" from me because they learned about this lie. For a few days what some people have been doing to me has been cruel. Because, I have never disrespected anyone since I started playing again, I have always treated everyone with cordiality and with matters only about Kovaze. I don't know and I never wanted to know about personal life or anything like that. I've always been more involved with the Brazilian community out of identification and love, because I'm Brazilian, although I no longer live in Brazil. And, although some of them were suspicious, besides Foox, no one knew I had started playing again. I didn't hurt anyone, I've been playing quietly and just spending my free time having fun. It's extremely bad to know the size of all this, simply to harm me in a game. I know who were the people who started this subject and I keep thinking, what led them to this, because as far as I know, Maturo was someone extremely problematic and disgusting. And I've never been close to being similar or behaving like him. I understood the concern to keep the community safe, but assuming things about people like that out of the blue is not the best way. I don't know how much this has spread, but once and for all, I'm not Mature. I'm Geo. Well, having said that, I hope they leave me alone and stop it. If you want a bigger test, I can talk to you on my cell phone number, Glitter

I am grateful to everyone who trusted and supported me on this journey.

Sin I'm ready!
