[Glirdan]

I must say that I'm quite upset to see you leave us Saucy. However, I have a feeling that you'll be doing something else musically related in your future. The best of luck to you!

And for everyon else, I shall be doing an interview for this weeks Newspaper with this weeks elimination and with our host, Vala Seacrest. So look out!

[The Only Real Estel]

As thankful as I am for the "[link]" it'd be cool to have the actual website.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Heres the link for your song choice this week. Good luck.

[Glirdan]

Here is my interview with Vala Seacrest. Enjoy.

[The Only Real Estel]

Hey, Estel once again.
Today I'll be singing Bad Day by Daniel Powter in the voice of Frodo, singing a song (probably taught him by Bilbo) about Sauron and his bad day a long, long time ago...

Where is the Power you needed the most
He cuts off your finger and the Magic is lost
And as you stand where his father lay
Looks like your spirits blowin' away
'Cause you don't have that One Ring on

You joined the fight just to land a few blows
But you never know quite how the battle goes
You orcs weren't nearly great as you thought
You tried to escape but now you're caught
And now you don't have that One Ring on

Cause you had a bad day
They took your One down
And without you the battle's all turned around
You said they can't win
They wouldn't last long
But when the end came it was you who was wrong
You had a bad day
Historians don't lie
You're plan has broke down and now you'll just be an Eye
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

You thought It was safe as could be
On your finger but now you see
And now you don't have that One Ring on

You had a bad day
They took your One down
And without you the battle's all turned around
You said they can't win
They wouldn't last long
But when the end came it was you who was wrong
You had a bad day
Historians don't lie
You're plan has broke down and now you'll just be an Eye
You had a bad day

Sometimes your Power's gone in a blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That with It you could've been so strong
But now it's gone

So where is the Power you needed the most
Oh you and It
He cuts off your finger and the Magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
They took your One down
And without you the battle's all turned around
You said they can't win
They wouldn't last long
But when the end came it was you who was wrong
You had a bad day
Historians don't lie
You're plan has broke down and now you'll just be an Eye
You had a bad day
You lost yourself and the fight
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day

Elempi comes out on stage and stands before the audience, clad simply and his face serious.

"This particular piece was #1 during the Seventh Age, May 7, 1977. It is known as "The Orc Tower Cirith Ungol" and it was performed by the Eagles of Manwë.

It is a little nightmarish, I grant you, but such is most appropriate of "such an evil place". I hope you can appreciate it."

A five man band backs up Elempi: drums, bass, acoustic guitar, and two lead guitars which play lead duet to astounding effect (check it out for real some time; really rather breathtaking).

On a dark Mordor orcway, cold wind in my hair
Foul stench of sulphur, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw poisonous light
The Ring weighed heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to rest for the night
The Watchers stood in the doorway;
I heard their fiendish yell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be my death, only one way to tell'
Then I put on the Ring and corpses showed me the way
There were Dead orcs up the stairway,
It was as if they said...

Welcome to the Orc tower Cirith Ungol
Such an evil place (Such an evil place)
Such an evil face
Plenty of room at the Orc tower Cirith Ungol
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find death here

'Her mind is full of devouring', said one of the orcish chiefs,
'She got a lot of ugly, ugly orcs she calls meals
How they dance in their cocoons, sweet Spider meat.
We'd best remember, or someday dance to forget'

I called up to my Master,
'I will not say the Day is done!'
They said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since Sauron this tower won'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Orc tower Cirith Ungol
Such an evil place (Such an evil place)
Such an evil face
They killin' each other in the Orc tower Cirith Ungol
What a nice surprise (what a nice suprise)
Evil self-destroys

Darkness in the ceiling,
The blood on knives is nice
And Frodo said, 'They are all just slaves here, of the Dark Lord's malice'
And in the Dark Lord's Tower
Wraiths gather for the feast
They smell it with their sneering sense,
But they just can't find the Ring

Last thing I remember, we were
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place we were before
'It's no use,' said dear Frodo,
'The Ring's taking over my will.
I can wish it gone all I like,
But I can never be free!'

The lead duet guitars finish a superb melody and harmony as the lights go down.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Two more days to the deadline and we just have two songs up so far. We've extended the deadline for pretty much every week now so uh... could we have everything up on time for this one?

[littlemanpoet]

I may regret this, but here goes. I like the song and I like the music of it, and it's one of the few I know from the 21st century. So here goes. From EvenstarEssence, troubadours who seem to know how to sing about Eowyn:

"Bring Me To Life"

(Eowyn looks on from a distance as Aragorn, his Rangers, Eomer and Gimli enter the Paths of the Dead)

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home.

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me whole
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without the hope of your love for you have gone to walk among the dead

All this time I couldn't see
kept in the dark until you were in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
You've opened my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't leave me to die in Rohan
there must be something more
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

(Bring me to life)
I ve been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

Sometimes a song is so appropriate that you hardly have to change the words.....

[The Only Real Estel]

Alright, so I'm Estel (as I so often am up here in front of you) & I'm going back to my rocking roots a little bit with some Bon Jovi for you all. This one's called It's My Ring (It's My Life) sung by Frodo...probably in or around Mount Doom.

This ain't a tool for the simple-minded
No golden trinket for the power-blinded
I won't be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It's my Ring
It's now or never
I just wanna live forever
I won't let it go while I'm alive
(It's my Ring)
To throw it away just wouldn't pay
Like Boro said
There's more than one way
I won't let it go while I'm alive
It's my Ring

This is when I start standing my ground
No matter what they say I'll never back down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
I'll take this One break

It's my Ring
It's now or never
I just wanna live forever
I won't let it go while I'm alive
(It's my Ring)
To throw it away just wouldn't pay
Like Boro said
There's more than one way
I won't let it go while I'm alive
'Cause It's my Ring

Gonna stand tall when they're searching me out
Don't duck, don't hide, baby, don't back down

It's my Ring
And it's now or never
'Cause I just wanna live forever
I won't let it go while I'm alive
(It's my Ring)
To throw it away just wouldn't pay
Like Boro said
There's more than one way
I won't let it go while I'm alive

It's my Ring
And it's now or never
'Cause I just wanna live forever
I won't let it go while I'm alive
(It's my Ring)
To throw it away just wouldn't pay
Like Boro said
There's more than one way
I won't let it go while I'm alive
'Cause it's my Ring!

[Gurthang]

*Gurthang walks in, glances at watch, and says:*

Well, I'm almost late... which is right on time for me! *burst out laughing. Members of the crowd look at each other awkwardly. Gurthang realizes that no one else is laughing and immediately stops.*

Hmm, tough crowd I guess. Anyway, I have prepared a song for you tonight; I really hope you enjoy it. This one's done by a little know band called Little Hobbiton, and its title is "Shire-land." (Listen to Boondocks by Little Big Town.) It has become very popular all throughout the Shire, so much so that no one really remembers the individuals who originally did it... other than the name that they called their group. Anyway, I'll be singing as Pippin, but really any Hobbit would know it. Here goes everything.

[Chorus:]
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the Shire-land
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul
In the Shire-land

I can feel that
Good tilled earth underneath my feet
I can hear the
whisper of the wind in the trees
And it sings to me and sounds familiar

[Chorus]

I can taste that pipeweed leaf
And it's still so sweet
When it's grown there
In the fields of the South Farthing
And it reminds me of those rolling green hills

[Chorus]

It's where I learned about livin'
Its where I learned about love
Its where I learned about working hard, and having a little was just enough
It's where I learned about laughin'
And knowin' how to have fun
You can take it or leave it
This is me
This is who I am
Give me a small hole, an oval door, and a grassy hill
And thats home to me, feels like home to me

[Chorus]

You get some pipes I'll get the ale
We'll go dancin' at the Green Dragon
Sing some songs on a Saturday night
Dance until the morning bright
