Twenty-four contestants currently stand here on the stage, each of them believing that they should be the last performer in the Grand Finale. However... four of them will be eliminated tonight. Randomly seperated into two groups, the pair of artists receiving the lowest amount of votes for each group is eliminated. As of right now those in the competition include (in no particular order, other than numerical):
In
Group One:
Diamond18, Lote22, The Only Real Estel, Mithalwen, Morai, Gurthang, Kath, Nogrod, Nilpaurion Felagund AKA William, Alc - I mean Steve, Hookbill the Goomba, and Orominuialwen.
In
Group Two:
The Saucepan Man, Folwren, THE Ka, Celuien, Legolas in Spandex, Anguirel, Boromir88, Lhunardwen, Caranlondien, JennyHallu, Elu Ancalime, and Littlemanpoet.
. . .
Each and every one of our performers were outstanding, and Middle Earth must have had a hard time picking their favorites considering the distribution of votes. Not a single performer received even 15% of the vote by themselves! However, in this cut-throat competition four of our contestants will have to leave tonight.
For Drama's sake it is demanded of me to present the
three lowest voted members of each group. Please remember... Since four contestants are leaving tonight,
only two from each group shall be removed.
--In Group One:
Lote22,
Morai, and
Orominuialwen.
--In Group Two:
Legolas in Spandex,
Caranlondien, and
Elu Ancalime.

*Wanders over to the three Group One members* Each one of you have potential star power, however, two of you will no longer be able to let it blossom on this stage (until next time!). All three exhibited their own style and personality, but even still it is my sad duty to inform you that...
Lote22,
Morai... you are no longer in the competition. I'm sorry. However... we are prepared to offer you a pair of yellow boots to compensate for those that you've lost.
*Strolls into the middle of the Group Two troubled-trio* If..I'm not mistaken,
Legolas in Spandex did not even perform.. which means that they are obviously one of the two eliminated...
Caranlondien,
Elu Ancalime... this must be very stressful. Only one of you will be staying to compete in the next round...
*Eyes both of them with an irritatingly long pregnant pause.* Elu Ancalime... you are safe for tonight.
Caranlondien is leaving us.
. . .
So thats it!
*clap* The first round of the Semi-Finals! Our first heartbreaking eliminations... The rules remain the same until the Finals. Now only 20 contestants will compete for their stop in the finals which is only two rounds away! Lets hope that Middle Earth can handle so much star power in such a little time!
Until then... On Middle Earth Idol!
Please make sure to note that the
Round Two Performance Deadline is
MAY 20th. Like last time, if you know that you will not be able to meet this deadline please PM either one of the judges or myself.
