My song will be Invisible, originally sung by American Idol Season 2 runner-up Clay Aiken. I will sing it with a shrieky Nazgûl-like voice.
If I was invisible
Then I could just steal the Ring from you
If I was invisible
I'll stab your heart tonight
If wraiths weren't scared of fire
Then I would just kill that stinky Man
I would be the strongest Man
If I was invisible
Wait, I already am.
(Shrieks, croaks, and flapping wings were heard approaching Hall of Fire.)

Ringwraith! *gulp* I'm outta here!

*Grabs Nilp on his way out* What a preformance! Ahh...haha...ha.. *points sternly toward a door which leads to where the other contestants are being held and shrieks.*

With the second stage of the contest well underway the judges were starting to feel a little less frisky compared to what they had been at the end of the prelims, and the same was true for the contestants... if only they kne- er, nevermind.

On a personal note, I'm thankful Sleepy Cowell did not advance to the next round.
How about a commercial?

Vala, may I sing first?

Hi, I'm Lhuna, and this time I'll be singing Tina Arena's Burn - in a powerful, melodramatic Finduilas voice.

This is for you, my Denethor (whoever you are).


Do you wanna be a poet and write
Do you wanna be an actor up in lights
Do you wanna be a soldier and fight for love

Do you wanna travel the world
Do you wanna be a diver for pearls
Or climb Amon Din and touch its torch above

Be anyone you want to be
Bring to life your fantasies
But I want something in return

I want you to burn, burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
Oh burn
Burn for me
Burn for me

Are you gonna be a gambler and deal
Are you gonna be a healer and heal
Or go to Meneltarma and touch Manwë's face

Are you gonna be a dreamer who sleeps
Are you gonna be a sinner who weeps
Or a Maia under grace

I'll lay down on your bed of coals
Offer up my heart and soul
But in return

I want you to burn
Burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
Oh burn burn for me burn for me...

Hey all! It's Estel again and today I'll be singing Here Without You by Three Doors Down, in the voice of Aragorn.

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand trials have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me

The miles just keep rollin'
As I make my way through sleet & snow
I've heard that being an heir is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Hi, me again. I am still a bit bitter over my reception in the first round *glares at Cowell* Shaky voice indeed! Anyway, I would like to sing a version of Billy Joel's "Always a Woman", in the voice of Frodo Baggins.

He may throttle my neck, he may claw at my eyes
He will ruin my day with his tricks and his lies
And he acts as a guide only reluctantly
He looks like a frog, but he’s always a Hobbit to me

He can lead us through marsh, he will snuffle and thieve
He may say he says truth (Sam will never believe)
He’ll take the Ring from me so I can be free
Yeah he cackles and grins but he’s always a Hobbit to me

Oh he takes care of Precious
He can wait if he wants
He will get it in time
Oh and he almost repents
But he never quite does
He just changes his mind

He may promise us safety and paths up the Stairs
And then cunningly lead us to Shelob’s dark lairs
But he’ll bring out the best in my Samwise Gamgee
So I don’t blame myself, ’cause he’s always a Hobbit to me

(Mmm)

Oh he takes care of Precious
He can wait if he wants
He will get it in time
Oh and he almost repents
But he never quite does
He just changes his mind

He is not often kind, and he’s frequently cruel
And to come back to Mordor may prove him a fool
But I can’t even blame him for following me
In the end he will do
What I choose not to do
And he’s always a Hobbit to me

Caranlondien here again. This time I'll be singing "Many Funerals" by Eisley. It is sung in the voice of a young Teler in the aftermath of the Kinslaying.

Bring along your tricks and trade,
We will lie here, here we lay.
And though this ship is out to sea,
I'm content to lie peacefully.

Tall and agile, Seaside born
My parents death did I dear mourn,
And brought about by ladies proud
To raise my cupped and furrowed brow

And now we have no chances
We fill the empty caskets
and leave you with your tears
And now we take more chances
We all will take more chances
Before our lives end too

How could you have left us here?
You had friends
You had us
Good-bye

Hello again. For my second song, I will be singing "Someday You Will Be Loved" by Death Cab For Cutie. It is in the spirit of Aragorn singing to Eowyn, but NOT by any stretch of the imagination do the vocals resemble Viggo Mortensen's.

I once knew an Elf
In the years of my youth
With eyes like the summer
All beauty and truth
She still owns my heart
Though we are far apart
Someday you will be loved

My lady I cannot pretend, or lead you along
To forsake my true love would surely be wrong
But your broken heart will eventually mend
As the blood runs red down the needle and thread
Someday you will be loved

You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved

You may feel alone when you're falling asleep
And every time tears roll down your cheeks
But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet
Someday you will be loved

You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved
