Middle Earth Idol - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Okay... uhm... what now? I've got to say that I have no idea what's going on... and that I'm somewhat anxious.

When do we get judge commentary? When does voting start\end? What's the next round going to be like? Who's getting burned at the end? Why do I ask questions ceaselessly?

You ask questions ceaselessly because you have every right to know the answers to each. *squint-wink-stumble*

Sleepy Cowell will not be collecting votes this round, but I will be.. and infact that time is now. Please try to send me said votes by/on Nov. 1st and on the second I will try to have the results of the voting up. In that time our judges can dazzle us with their thoughts. *gazes star-y eyed at Wilwa*

The next round will be described in better detail at the end of the elimination post, but I can say that it will be most likely fairly challenging... possibly more complex... there may or maynot be multiple choice questions, anagrams, an essay, or a hoop of fire near the end. Kidding! You'll find out when we get there... but I do suggest keeping your hair tied back just in case. *nod-squint*

Oh, and I'm getting burned at the end... Cowell wouldn't have it any other way.

Apparently the Gimli Chin epidemic has overcome our voting population, because of the small turn out so far, but I urge those Downers watching to please send me their votes as soon as possible. I am, therefore, obviously pushing back to voting deadline until the third.

Why? Because there is a three way tie!

--edit--

I've got the results and they will be posted ASAP.

If there were ever a time for our preformers to panic... it would be now.

The votes have been tallied, the audience collected and our three incredibly talented artist wait patiently for the second to last elimination of the Middle Earth Idol contest. Remaining are: Estel, Guth, and lmp, all of which we owe a round of applause for their hard work and dedication.

In this last round, the contestants were asked to preform two pieces. From those six preformances our audience has selected two to remain, singing until the very end... while, alas, the third will retire to a possibly even more successful musical career tha- I shouldn't have said that. *ahem*

- - -

Even though his career here has been long, and no doubt filled to the brim with thoughtful pieces, Guth collected the least amount of votes last night and will be eliminated. Hopefully this talented artist will continue to shine brightly and not go into hiding (expecially behind plants because thats just silly! ; ))

lmp remains, but will have to fight tooth and nail to beat TORE who has once more preserved his position as Arda's favorite.

- - -

The last round of Middle Earth Idol is about to begin- and you get to decide who the last standing will be! So keep your eyes glued to the palantir and give me money.

(The last round 'assignment' will be posted later after it is discussed between the judges. Enjoy a break guys

)

I've been building this up for months, but now there is no excuse to NOT be excited for it's coming. The last... the final... round of Middle Earth Idol is here, and though there are only two contestants left, its all eyes on the Hall of Fire where thoooose two are about to turn up the heat... One. Last. Time.

Elempi and TORE have had their break, so its time for business... This last round there will be three songs required from the both of you:

- ANY already preformed piece. This includes those of other contestants or yourself which you would like Middle Earth to remember. (So pick your favorite

) But, if you are going to select a work which is not of your own creation, please make sure to alter it in some way so that it's your own "take".

-Songs from Live... because we're hoping the stress doesn't kill anyone! That and it's terribly ironic that two wights would be singing... yeah. Have at it you two! There are links to the songs and then to the lyrics through the Album images (In other words, fairly straightforward).

- And lastly, yet another song of your own choice. (This includes, if you so desire, something of your own creation.)

Do good, have fun, and for the rest of you.. Make sure to vote!

"A'right gentleman." Spoke up Cowell (finally) "We're at the end and I have a few words for both of you. It's been a long road for both of you, you've both worked very hard to get here, you've faced stiff contest but survived and made it here... now it's just the two of you..." He paused, dramatically.

"I want you both to keep in mind, no matter who wins... I'm still better." Cowell grinned. "Good luck."
