Middle Earth Idol

[Sleepy Ranger]

I believe I shall announce the official beginning of the semi-finals (a bit early but yeah...)

Here are the rules (subject to a bit of tinkering but not till the end of this round);

---
With 24 contestants lined up inside of the Hall of Fire, the real competition was about to begin. Wisely, none of them had asked the elves if they were on key during any of the several hours of practice allowed to them because this would have only resulted in a resounding no-yes, which has notoriously wasted lots of people's time.

RULES:

-The remaining 24 will be divided into two groups of 12 at random. The lowest 2 vote recievers from each group will be eliminated at the end of every round.

- Viewers (or other Barrowdowns members) are now the deciding force in who advances and who does not. This phase will continue until 12 contestants remain, they will be your finalists.

- The voting will be confidential, and a link will be provided, However, as in immortal idol, voting blindly is discouraged. The link will not be posted until the end of each preformance-round.

- At this stage the competition is open themed and contestants may sing anything they wish to.

- Contestants are allowed to vote but are requested not to vote for themselves.

Good luck contestants! Round 1 of the Semi-Finals has begun!

EDIT: Note to judges, post everyones judgement after all performances are over.
