Actually that just struck me a few days ago (when I learned this week ahead is 'dead week' where I am) so as far as this last song is concerned I am fine with there being an extention, however I will spend this time giving props to elempi.

Props! Props! Props!

I can't wait for the voting to start.. very interested to hear who will become the next... Middle Earth Idol!

Shoot for before the tenth, if possible please.

Pipe Hopefully the 4th is soon enough then ;)

Well, for the last time Estel stands before you as I prepare to perform my final song.

This one will be sung by Bilbo about his adventure up to the meeting with the Trolls & how he already regrets coming on it.

It's called How to Steal a Hoard (How to Save a Life by The Fray)...


Step one he says it's 11 o'clock
You balk, he says get going and stop your talk
He smiles a little bit at you
As you race off into the blue
Time will tell if he was right
As you go left and then turn right
Between the fences and up the lane
As you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost my head
Somewhere along in my befuddledness
And I would have been up with late tea poured
But they thought I knew how to steal a hoard

Don't let them know about the rest
Cause after all they like dwarf best
Try to slip past their defense
As you maintain innocence
Lay down a list of what you cook
Dishes you learned from your cookbook
And pray the trolls don't smear you
And pray the trolls don't smear you!

Where did I go wrong, I lost my head
Somewhere along in my befuddledness
AAnd I would have been up with late tea poured
But they thought I knew how to steal a hoard

As they begin to raise their voice
One lowers his and grants them one last choice
Leave them all and knaw a bone
Or argue till dawn and turn to stone
As they talk of smash & squashing
And argue over boil and roasting
You're afraid you'll never be the same
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost my head
Somewhere along in my befuddledness
And I would have been up with late tea poured
But they thought I knew how to steal a hoard

How to steal a hoard...


*Final bow*

Alright! Thats it! The last preformance of Middle Earth Idol!

Now everyone get to voting. I will be receiving votes until the 10th (because its a good round number, not because I've already staked out that date as "Something".)

I'll say it again, Middle earth... Get voting! *squintsquintysquint*

The results will be out a bit after the 10th, say around the 15th. That is, because the final show has to be something spectacular.
If you'd like to participate then feel free to inform Valesse or any of the judges inclusive of myself.

Okay, just relayin message from dear Cowell.

"I will be able to comment later once my ear's stop ringing and my head stops pounding from that horrible concert that I went to the other night."

All I have to say on behalf of myself is that I am too busy with school stuff to be doing the comments anymore (in case you haven't noticed, I've been on the Down's far less lately). As for Wilwa, I believe she is feeling the same strain as I. So please don't take it personally. Adieux and the best of luck to the remaining contestants.
