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.

So what's the hold up? When do we start the next round, and what's the theme?

Glirdan · 07-21-2006, 08:43 PM

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.

Sleepy Ranger · 07-21-2006, 11:41 PM

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.

Auuugghh!! I'm doomed! I hate country!

Mithalwen · 07-22-2006, 09:20 AM

Well it was a bit harsh getting slated for being boring - for goodness sake it was a ballad

ah well maybe time to have another go at the idea that has been floating round my head since the beginning of the competition but hasn't yet progressed beyond "sometimes it's hard to be an elf queen..."

I share your sentiments exactly. I can almost count the country songs I like on one hand. Good thing I sort of like a couple of recent hits.

Which reminds me, I'm still waiting for an OPEN or POP round so I can pull out my "secret weapon".
