[OP-SP 2] Breaking Records Entertainment Round 1

The day has finally come, and your moderators and admins finally ended their judgement!

We received really awesome covers, each one was great!
But of course you all knew, that a cover is not enough!

But I don't wanna tease you any longer! BTW! Rank 1-3 will get prizes! :D

HERE ARE ALL GROUPS !!!

Rank 1 - Group 05: DRE4MS (Deep reaching energy 4 melodious songs)
ChoKyu19 (Leader), hazelnutter, hirokibaby, shouie_yuri
Manager: Shisshi
Song: Slumber Wars (Mandy Moore - Stupid Cupid, Ai Otsuka - Peach, Lady Gaga - Bad Romance, Narsha - Mamma Mia)

Our concept is about dreams, as our group name says :3
To make it a little more interesting we divided our 4 member group into 2 teams to have a battle "good / innocent dreams VS bad / naughty dreams".
The good team is hazelnutter and shouie_yuri, the bad team consists of hirokibaby and ChoKyu19.
For making the good VS bad battle not plain or boring, we not used 1 song, but 4 songs and mixed these 4 to 1 song. The title of our created single is "Slumber Wars" (, because the battle is taking place IN the dreams themselves, so we sing about the things happening in dreams and not dream themselves xD) :3
The good team sang: Ai Otsuka - Peach & Mandy Moore - Stupid Cupid
The bad team sang: Narsha - Mamma Mia (Electro Remix) & Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
(I apologize in advance, that we had to use a vocal cut for Stupid Cupid.. we had an instrumental for it, but it turned out really bad while mixing (it was not fitting at all), but we didn't have time to find another one, so yeah, we work with the vocal cut :3)
