Middle Earth Idol

[Mithalwen]

Well much as I would prefer to be impersonating Galadriel, I still couldn't get "Sometimes it's hard to be an elf-queen to work" so this is Frodo singing about his first meeting with Aragorn. Kenny Roger's " The Gambler" is a cover version of this original lyric :

The Ranger

On a starry Autumn evenin' at the Prancin' Pony,
When we met up with the ranger; I was far to scared to sleep.
So we took turns a watchin' out the window for the Nazgul
'Til the silence go too much, and he began to speak.

He said, "Frodo, I've spent my life readin' fear in people's faces
And knowin' what their chances were and what they had to hide.
So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're in great trouble
For a taste of your "Old Winyards" I'll will be your guide."

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed some "Old Toby" and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, "if you're to survive this quest , boy, ya gotta keep outta sight.

With wraiths - you got to know when to burn'em, when to drown 'em,
Know when to hide away and know when to run.
You never use the One ring when the Nazgul're hunting for you.
There'll be time enough for restin' when the Quest is done.

Now ev'ry Ranger knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' when to run away away and knowing when to fight.
'cause ev'ry fight has a winner and ev'ry fight a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to see the next day's light."

So when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
Knocked out his pipe and was lost to his own thought.
And somewhere in the darkness the Ranger dreamt of Arwen.
But in his final words I found small comfort.

You got to know when to burn'em, when to drown 'em,
Know when to hide away and know when to run.
You never use the One ring when the Nazgul're hunting for you.
There'll be time enough for restin' when the Quest is done.

Okay, you may start voting. Please send the votes to me. Sleepy will be away and Vala has disappeared...

Sorry that I don't have my judgements up. I promise I'll have them up tomorrow.

[Glirdan]

I will also add, before giving my judgements (which very well may be the only one you get) that you may vote for more than one person. If you're a contestant, you can (obviously) NOT vote for yourself.

Also, the vote deadline will be this Friday when I will post the results as well as the next theme.

Thank you.

Judgement to be put up shortly.

Elempi
That was spectacular! Once again you have proven to us why you're on this show!! Way to go dog!

Saucy
That was...interesting. I really did enjoy how you brought your own instruments. Vocally, however, it wasn't your best performance. Still, you did your best, so I'll give you props for that.

TORE
I'll tell you now that you're one of my favorites in this competition. I was really excited when I found out that you were going to be singing this song because I knew you'd rock it! Way to go!

Celuien
I actually liked that performance. It wasn't the best performance of the night, but it was definetly, in my opinion, your best performance. Way to go girl!

Gurthang
That was amazing dude! Probably the best performance of the night!! We have a hot one tonight!!

Anguirel
I must say that that was another interesting, however, it wasn't as interesting as Saucy's. It was entertaining, yes, but the vocals were quite off. I don't know what else to say.

Mith
You're another one of my favorites. I think you rocked that performance! What a way to end the show!! Way to go!

Elempi ~ Very funny, and entertaining. A little hard to understand sometimes but I still enjoyed it.

Saucy ~ Hmmm...well that was actually very good. A different choice for you but you did a good job.

Ang ~ Well sung, but kinda boring, if you make it t the next round try to pick a more exciting song.

TORE ~ I know you, like Gurthang, were not looking forward to singing country. (actually I don't think many people were, I wasn't looking forward to listening to it ) But I think you did a very good job with that song.

Celuien ~ That was pretty good, I don't find it was your best performance but it's pretty high up, good job.

Mith ~ I also really liked that performance, one of the best tonight. Great job!

Gurthang ~ That was pretty good. You seemed like you meant it, keep up the good work!

Good luck everyone!

I haven't disappeared! I'm like the Dwarvish disco-music that I DJ... and disco never goes away.

(As for that short, ahem, leave, I'm mearly getting my business in order for a certain, erm, journey. If anyone is interested in a spoon collection... )

And with that said, you may send your votes to me, also. Same rules apply (Not valid in South Farthing.)

[Glirdan]

YAY! You have returned!! I shall send you the votes that I have thus far gathered tomorrow.
