Middle Earth Idol - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

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...

Wow! That was great!! You've got such a great bass voice! There's absoultely nothing in that performance that I can put down. I say yes!

Sleepy Ranger · 03-25-2006, 01:45 PM

Ka

Well uh, yes, uh, ahem. I, uh... uh... ahem... This is a singing competition not a dancing competition. But anyway whatever Glirdy said, I'm giving you a yes which means we'll be seeing you again, welcome to the next round.

What they said. *points to the male judges*

Alcarillo · 03-25-2006, 08:47 PM

*ahem* My name is Alcarillo, I'm from Harlindon. Ever since I was only a tiny child all I've ever wanted to do in life was to sing. I've spent thousands of dollars on my own vocal coach and I practice everyday. I am the next Middle-earth Idol.

I will be singing "You're Beautiful", by the famous minstrel James Blunt, in the voice of the famous dwarf hero Gimli on the night he famously drank his record ten barrels of beer. I'm told by my vocal coach that it's a very beautiful and misunderstood style.

*cough, cough*

My axe is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw a Maia
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the Silverlode
She was with a guy called Silver-Tree
But I won't lose any sleep tonight
'Cause I've got her hairs three.

You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you're face in a tree-filled place
And I don't know what to do
…um…um…just a moment

*Alcarillo removes a badly crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, reads it quickly, then resumes singing*

'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye
As we paddled by
And she could see from my face that I was
Flying high!
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful, you're beautiful-

*Alcarillo is stopped by the judges before he can finish*

Sleepy Ranger · 03-26-2006, 05:44 AM

Alcarillo

You're beautiful? More like you're pathetic. I don't mean to be rude when I say this but you were appalling, pathetic, out of tune and well worse than terrible. In fact I'd say that there aren't enough adjectives to describe how bad that was. Take my advice, forget about singing, you can't do any.

Its a no from me.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-26-2006, 06:37 AM

*cough* Well, hello... erm... yes. I bring before you a song of such... erm... good... that it may just cause a stomach ulcers to the listeners... yes.
My name is... *reads card* Hookbill the Goomba. I've never been a good singer (or anything else for that matter), but I know a few things about captions... that can't be too different... can it?
*Silence*
... yes...
I'm going to sing that old song: Too Old to Rock and Roll, Too Young to Die by Jethro Tull. In the voice of Merriadoc Brandybuck. Lyrics may be slightly (read: Very) changed.

***

Too Old to go to War, Too Young to die

(a-1, a-2, a-1,2,3,4!)

The old Ranger wore his hair too long,
Wore his trouser cuffs too tight.
Unfashionable to the end drank his ale too light.
Gondor's belt buckle: yesterday's dreams
The transport caf' prophet of doom.
Ringing no change in his Long shanks seems
In his post-war-ring gloom.

Now he's too o- o- old to to go to wa- wa- war but he's too young to die.

He once owned a Horse, "Davidson", and a big shiny sword.
Counted his friends in greasy Bree inns
And prays that he always will.
But he's the last of the king's blood Gondor boys
All of his mates are doing time:
Married with three kids up by the west road
Sold their souls straight down the line.

And some of them own little horses
And meet at the tennis club do's.
For drinks on a Sunday work on Monday.
They've thrown away their shields and spears.

Now they're too o- o- old to go to wa- wa- War and they're too young to die.

So the old Ranger gets out his horse
To make a ton before he takes his leave.
Up on the green way by Shire Corner
Just like it used to be.
And as he flies tears in his eyes
His wind-whipped words echo the final take
And he hits the east road doing around 120
With no room left to brake.

And he was too o- o- old to go to Wa- wa- War but he was too young to die.

No, you're never too o- o- old to go to wa- wa- War if you're too young to die!

But he was too young... to Die!!

*Gun shot*
