Middle Earth Idol - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

All rilled up from the chaps and the spurs, our contestants nearly yodelled for the top spot for this week's round, but how did these cow-poke fair? Well, with the week (*cough*) gone, it's time for that dreeded elimination.

Who will it be this time? Middle Earth has voted, and now it's time that the results be announced!

. . .

TORE burned up the stage with this hot dwavian edition of "I Like it, I love it." Aulë would be proud of! But did it keep Middle Earth's toes tapping? Congratulations, TORE, you are advancing to the next round.

Saucy was sizzling in his steely stir-fry best with what could easily be one of my favorite "singles" from his imaginative collection. Needless to say it was enough to capture the heart of his fellow's from the -range-, and will be remaining. *squinty grin*

Picking up from one of those all-time Country Music legends, Mith brought down the house with her sensational "The Ranger"... needless to say, her song received the highest amount of votes. Kudos, Mith!

Gurthang's tear jerking performance certainly reminded us what those good natured hairy-footed hobbits are all about, and his fans didn't diappoint him, either. Congratulations, Gurthang, you are continuing to the next round.

Without any question Elempi's preformance certainly had the most..erm character to it

but never-the-less the quick beat and quick wit got Middle Earth boot scooting toward the polls, winning him a spot in next week's competition.

Celuien plain gets a gold star for calling Elrond "Pappy". Thats all I have to say. Oh, and you're still in the contest, too.

Unfortunately that leaves our truely talented Anguirel as tonight's elimination. Good luck, buddy. *Sad squinting*

. . .

Thats it for tonight, Middle Earth.
The next theme is Jazz, and the next deadline is (as of yet) the 12th of this month. As always, contact the judges or myself (currently it might be safer to contact my "dawg" Glirdan) if you have any questions or conflicts...or questions about conflicts/ conflicts about questions.

Jazz? I do believe I've never heard a jazz song in my life.

Glirdan · 08-05-2006, 07:27 AM

Okay, well if we have to change it, Blues would probably be the closest thing.

R'n'B would be more acceptable. At least I've heard it...

Can't be a judge if I don't know what I'm judging.

Glirdan · 08-05-2006, 09:13 AM

True enough. I'm fine with R'n'B.

Ai! The only genre left that is even more dire than Country 'n Western. The only Jazz worth listening to generally has no lyrics!

Phew! Thank goodness fo that. Is that modern R'n'B, traditional R'n'B or both? Are pop songs heavily influenced by R'n'B (for example, early Rolling Stones tracks) allowed?

Aw, you guys have thrown in the bag on Jazz too quickly. See how much fun we all had with that gawdawrful Country? I'm sure a little googling could have turned up some really fun stuff to get swingin' about. And at the very worst we could fall back on something from Steely Dan, ya know? But if y'all wants R&B, I'm game. (sigh)
