Hookbill the Goomba

Well... that was certainly a brave and idiotic performance, more to the brave though. Anyway with that song I believe you've just booked your ticket out of this competition.

Anguirel

Not as good as your past performances but still I think you did alright. You could've done better, that performance certainly did not compliment you in any way at all. I expect better from you.

The Only Real Estel

I think this has been your best performance so far. Stunning voice, I know I may have been very critical of you in the past but with that performance you've convinced me young man. You could very well be our very first Middle-Earth Idol.

Celuien

Now I don't mean to be rude but that was terrible. I think our friend Hookbill has just found some competition for elimination. Good luck to you.

Elempi

I think that was a somewhat rushed performance. I've heard you do better than that and in fact I'd expect you to do better than that. Now I don't mean to be rude but Wilwa and Glirdy could probably put on a better ballad than that and that is saying something. By the way, you should check out my new book '100 Ways To Diss Your Co-judges'.

Gurthang

Its no secret, you're one of my favorites in this competition so you know when I say I don't mean to be rude I really do mean it. That wasn't really such a good performance, I heard a rumor that you had some trouble figuring out what a ballad is. In the end you did come up with something and I guess you did well enough to see yourself through but I've come to expect better from you.

Mithalwen

To be honest with you that wasn't the best performance of the night but it wasn't the worst either. You did okay, it got a bit boring in the middle but you ended it strong enough.

Saucepanman

I didn't believe I would ever have to say this after a performance from you but... that was the best performance of the night. Well done Saucepanman, its performances that show us the voice behind all those antics. I had just about ruled you out but you've come back very strongly. Congratulations.

I've been trying to do that the whole time. Why won't anyone listen?

Hookbill the Goomba

That was an....interesting performance. I found it a little entertaining, but nothing that had that x factor and there were quite a few notes here and there that were just a tad sharp and a tad flat. I think I'm gonna have to agree with Cowell here and say thanks for coming, but you're gone. Sorry dog.

Anguirel

I don't know what Cowell over there was talking about, dog. You were hot tonight!! Great song choice for you and it was just...wow!! Amazing!! Barrow-Downs, we've got a hot one tonight!!

The Only Real Estel

Wow man!! That was undescrbeable!! You have an amazing voice and great stage presence. I think I'll have to agree with Cowell on this, you could be our first Middle-Earth Idol!! I think you're the one to beat tonight dog!!

Celuien

That wasn't a bad performance girl, but I think you could have done a lot better. There were a few spots where you were pitchy and you just didn't have that "Wow" TORE had. But if I may agree with Wilwa, you do look great.

Elempi

Okay, if I may bite back at Cowell before judging you: At least we HAVE talent!! Now, back to the judging. That wasn't you're best performance dog, but it wasn't bad either. Oh, by the way Cowell, that book of your's isn't that great. You're "jokes" and ways of dissing us co-judges, suck!!

Gurthang

Dude, that was a pretty good performance. One of the best tonight in my opinion, especially since you didn't know exactly what a ballad was. I think you pulled it off this week.

Mithalwen

Once again, not one of the best tonight, but you definetly pulled it off girl. I definetly think we should keep you around another week...especially since you and Celuien are the only girls left...

Saucepanman

Saucy, that was amazing. I think you definetly rivaled TORE for the top of the night. An awsome way to end the show for the night. The song choice was perfect, you're voice was perfect and you had that "WOW" for me. Way to go!

Yes, I agree... you two do a much better job of dissing yourselves than I ever would.

Well, when it's starting no idea. However, last I heard from Valesse, the theme (but don't take me seriously on this, I haven't talked to any of the other judges in ages [where have they gotten to?]) was going to be Jazz. But like I said I haven't talked to any of them in awhile so don't take my word on it. As for the votes, I have no idea of that eiter. Right now, I'm just as left in the dark as you all are.

Edit: I have just PM'ed my fellow judges about this predicament. I hope to get an answer ASAP.

Since Valesse has gone AWOL. Here is the elimination-

Elempi, Mithalwen and Hookbill you are our bottom three tonight.

Elempi you sang Burn The Mage. Glirdy said it wasn't a bad performance but it wasn't your best either, Wilwa thought it was very powerful whereas Sleepy thought it was rushed and that Glirdy and Wilwa could top that.

Mithalwen you sang Aldarion and Erendis. Glirdy said it wasn't the best but you pulled it off, Wilwa thought it was a very pretty song and Sleepy, being honest, thought it got a bit boring in the middle.

Hookbill you sang Harold The Baggins, a Hobbit Restraunt Owner. Glirdy said it was interesting but lacked the x-factor, Wilwa sounded a bit unsure but said it was interesting and Cowell said it was brave and idiotic but more to the brave and then said you just booked your ticket home.

Are the three of you nervous? Well, ladies and gentlemen, leaving us tonight will be... after the break.

<Insert Crazy Ad About Chicken Killing Orcs>

Alright, here we are again one of these three has to leave us tonight. All the judges have said that Elempi has a very good chance to win on more than one ocassion but now you're in the bottom three... Elempi you still could win, have a seat.

That leaves us with Hookbill and Mithalwen. Mithalwen you are safe too, that means Hookbill you shall be leaving us today.

The next theme shall be Country. Thats right, its now Country Week. You have till the 30th of July to get your song in. Good luck.
