An interview with Panakeia
And now... time for an exclusive interview with Middle-Earth Idol hopeful... Panakeia! In the studio we have none other than, your favorite and mine, Smeago Letterman
Smeago: Hello Panakeia, glad you could make it.
Panakeia: My pleasure to be here, of course.
Smeago: First I'd like you to address these rumors floating around, did you really burst into tears when Cowell made those karaoke comments?
Panakeia: Me? In tears? Of course not. The person behind those rumors is misleading the viewing public. I could never be brought to tears by criticism from that Cowell person.
Smeago: So how did you react to his comments?
Panakeia: I reacted with all that was deserved. A cool stare, and a simple reply indicating his poor taste. My performance was brilliant and I knew it. How could it be otherwise, with my virtuoso singing, compelling stage presence and general charisma?
Panakeia: In fact, my remarks were most likely more than he deserved. I should have merely given a glance of contempt for his tin ear.
Smeago: Ha ha, how true. You've certainly had a unique song choice till now, could you tell us what factors you keep in minding when choosing your song?
Panakeia: Well, first and foremost, I choose songs that display the lyrical quality of my voice. I can, naturally, sing anything, but I prefer to make selections that will show the true art of singing to the listener. Then I think of the lyrics. A good song, as I'm sure you know, will tell a story. Finally, a song must match my wardrobe. If the song doesn't go with the clothes, the whole effect is ruined. I'm not known as the best-dressed Idol contest without good reason.
Smeago: Of course, Panakeia, of course. And why do you think you deserve to be the first ever Middle-Earth Idol?
Panakeia: I am, in simplest terms, the most talented person on the program. And I'm the only one with the wardrobe to back up a career on the stage. Need I mention some of the accoutrements chosen by some of the more eccentric contestants?
Smeago: Well some of them certainly have caught the eye but tell us, who do you believe will make it with you to the finals?
Panakeia: Well, I'm almost sure that Littlemanpoet will be present. He seems to have caught the attention of more than a few viewers. The Saucepan Man may also make it, despite, or maybe because of, his odd taste in clothing. Boromir stands a good chance as well. Any of them might join me in the last round. From the other group, Mithalwen and Nilpaurion Felagund appear to be the frontrunners for the finals. None measure up to my voice, of course, but they have some skill. I'll grant them that much.
Smeago: Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans?
Panakeia: Oh yes. My fans. I would like to thank them for supporting me throughout the contest. They prove their excellent taste and discernment every time they listen, and I greatly appreciate their presence. Thank you! *blows a kiss*
