That usually isn't my type of music, not something I would willingly to listen to, but I think you did a great job. You have potential in this tounament. I say yes.

JennyHalu
Don't mind Sleepy, he's just in a bad mood, you'll get used to it. I think your first performance was brilliant, very creative and fun. Your second song just showed me that you are good at changing your voice, great talent. A yes from me.

Nogrod
All I can say is that that was amazing, I was almost in tears, its sounds so sad, but still very beautiful. yes, yes, yes

Er, good evening judges. And may I say how lovely you are looking tonight , Wilwa Abdul. So much more presentable than than that old witch, Sharon Sackville-Osborne that we have on Shire Idol.

My name is The Saucepan Man. And I would like to sing for you a number from my very own back catalogue here on the Downs*. The song is Gimli's Mighty Axe and I shall be singing it in the style of of that well known Dwarfish combo from the Third Age, Sergeant Bifur's Lonely Mountain Club Band (ie late 2960s, slightly whimsical).

Down in Khazad-Dum, the Fellowship all hear the boom of drumming in the deep,
Orcs approach the Tomb of Balin oh oh oh oh.
Gimli Gloin’s son, waiting for to give them some, feigns a mighty sweep,
He’s looking forward to breaking some Orcish bo-o-o-ones.
And as they all pour through the door, a blade swings through the air.
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe came down upon their heads,
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe made sure that they were dead.

Now we’re at a tense moment on the battlements, Rohan’s under threat,
Uruk hordes advance on Helm’s Deep oh oh oh oh.
Gimli and Legolas are adamant that none shall pass, so they make a bet,
Who will claim the greatest number of fo-o-o-oes?
So with a cry of Baruk Khazâd, the Dwarf’s headcount begins,
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe came down upon their heads,
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe left two and forty dead.

The heir of Isildur is heading for the Pelennor. Gimli’s there again.
Sailing up the Anduin river oh oh oh oh.
Imrahil and Eomer seeing now the newcomers think all hope is gone.
The black sails of the Corsairs tell them so-o-o-o.
But as the White Tree unfurls, their hearts are filled with joy,
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe once more found Orcish heads,
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe made sure that they were dead.

Thank you.

You're lucky dog, because even if I said no, you'd still be moving on to the next round. However, I was going to say yes anyway. Definetly have talent but I don't think you'll make it all the way to the top twelve. You still got a shot though.

Jenny
If I was to base my judging on that first song I would have gone out and gotten ear plugs dude. It sucked. But you're lucky because you got that second chance and showed us what you can really do. Good job!

Nogrod
That was such a good song and I loved how you were able to switch pitches and still stay in control. It's a yes for me dude!!

Saucy
Your bass voice awsome dude. You've got a set of lungs! I'm going to say yes. Let me say this though, if you make it through, please show us the range that you can sing in.

Time for the truth. I did not like that at all, you have talent but you're lacking that thing. You know, the one we like to call x-factor. I'm giving you a no but it doesn't matter since you're through anyway. Now don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be rude but I did not like that one bit, I believe you may have something up your sleeve I'm waiting till you pull it out. You haven't convinced me.

Saucepanman

It looks like our views differ once again. I'll admit it, you can sing but what is up with those clothes? If you want to be taken seriously as a competitor then those pans have got to go, their clanking detracts from your singing. But regardless, its a yes, you're going through to the next round.

Thank you very much Saucie, how sweet of you. I agree about that Sharon, no fashion sense whatsoever. Very interesting song, I enjoyed it, yes from me. Oh and Sleepy is wrong, your pans are great, probably will be the new in thing.

THE Ka · 03-25-2006, 01:33 PM

Good day Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Ka and I am going to be performing a variation of What Difference Does it Make? by those lovely boys, The Smiths. As to stay true to the unique individualism of Mr(s). Morrissey and Marr and honor them as such, I will include the original moves and Galdioli performance. I will be sure to keep it in original sly tone of Morrissey with a hint of Melkor and Sauron's sinister ways, as always.

All Valar have secrets and here is mine,
So let it be known,
For we have been through Oaths and High tide,
I think I can rely on you ...
And yet you start to recoil,
Heavy words are so lightly thrown,
But still I’d leap in front of Tulka’s wrath for you...

So, what difference does it make?
So, what difference does it make?
It makes none, ah
But now you have gone, ah
And you must be looking very old tonight...

The Dark Lord will find work for idle hands to do,
I stole and I lied, and why?
Because you asked me to!
But now you make me feel so ashamed,
Because I’ve only got two hands,
Well, I’m still fond of you,
oh-ho-oh

So, what difference does it make?
Oh, what difference does it make?
Oh, it makes none, ah
But now you have gone, ah
And your illusion won’t keep you warm tonight...

Oh ...
Oh, the Dark Lord will find work for idle hands to do,
I stole, and then I lied,
Just because you asked me to...
But now you know the truth about me,
You won’t see me anymore,
Well, I’m still fond of you,
oh-ho-oh

But no more apologies,
No, no more apologies,
Oh, ’cause I’m too tired,
I’m so sick and tired, oh,
And I’m feeling very weak and ill today, oh,
But I’m still fond of you,
oh-ho-oh

Oh, my sacred one ...
Oh ...

Thank you...

Tosses Gladioli and quietly walks off stage...
