You don't need to sing again yet.

Elempi

You certainly bring some much needed maturity to this contest. You have a steady voice and though it may not be the best voice, you definately show talent in age. I like the voice and I think you've got a look to match it. Its a yes from me.

Hi, I'm Lhuna from the nearby Grey Havens. I'll be singing a song by some person named Kelly Clarkson, called Breakaway. Slightly marr- er, mutila- er, changed to fit the voice of Bill the Balrog, who, surprisingly, does NOT have a scary gruff voice.

(Dedicated to non-wingers everywhere )

*ehem*

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And break(dance) away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
And I will forget all the Orcs that I loathe
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And break(dance) away

Dwellings with a hundred floors
Entering Dwarf-fashioned doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, grooving on
Fly away, break(dance) away

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to prove - but I'll try
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And break(dance) away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
And I will forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And break(da
nce) away, break(dance) away, break(dance) away

Doing a song of such a level is a tough and challenging task but you pulled it off some-what-ish. It wasn't too bad a performance but it wasn't anything spectacular or something to remember either. Go home, brush up and then we'll see you in the next round. Its a yes.

Boots Random Titles get musical

My name is Morai and I'm from Ithilien, I'll be singing a slightly murdered version of Mood Rings by Relient K. (Soft/punk rock; Frodo Voice)

We all know the elfs I am talking about,
Well they are explosives and they are lighting
And the only question's when they'll blow up
And they'll blow uo; we know that without a doubt
Cause they're those elfs, yeah you know those elf that let their desires get the best of them
And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help the Race of Man

Chorus: Let's get emotional elfs to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off, to when they're ticked off
Cause we'll know just what they're plotting
She's so witty but she doesn't always act that way
Her moods out rolling on a ghost ship almost everyday
She said to me that she's so strong that it's weakening (freaked out that it's calming)
And all I said someone get that elf a mood ring

If it's action you want then look no further
They're like Middle Earth meets Man Meets Earth meets Ends of Our Lives
And it just scares me how they get away with anger
They'll frighten you then bat their eyes; those elven eyes that watch you sympathize
(chorus)

Cause when it's black (it) means watch your back because you're probably
The first hobbit in the world right now she wants to see
And when it's blue it means that you should go to Lorien and see
And seek her out because she'll most likely agree
And when it's green it simply means she is distressed
And when it's clear it means she's completely emotionless (And that's alright I must confess)

We all know the elfs that I am talking about
She liked you yesterday but now it's today and she has to wash her mirror
And it just figures that we'll never figure them out
First she's pleasant then she's insane....at least she makes a lovely pair

One Ring oh One Ring, oh tell me you will bring
The key to unlock this mystery
Of elves and their emotions
Play it back in slow motion
So I may understand the complex structure known as the elven mind

Very interesting song, it was different but still enjoyable. I say yes.

Lhuna
That was an amazing performance. That type of song fits your voice perfectly. Great job! You're moving to the next round.

Morai
I'm not to sure about that performance. You have an interesting voice but I don't think that song suited you very well. I'll say yes, but I hope to see something better from you in the next round, something more suiting to your voice.

Hi, I'm Kath and I'm going to sing something which I always thought fitted the way Frodo must have been feeling some of the time in the years between returning to the Shire and going to the Grey Havens.

Midnight,
Not a sound from the outside.
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone.
In the firelight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan.

Memory,
All alone in the moonlight.
I can smile at the old days,
I was still whole then.
I remember the time I knew what happiness was,
Let the memory live again.

Every oil lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning.
Some one mutters and an oil lamp gutters,
And soon it will be morning.

Daylight,
I must wait for the sunrise.
I must think of a new life,
And I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too,
And a new day will begin.

Burnt out ends of smoky days,
The stale cold smell of morning.
The oil lamp dies, another night is over,
Another day is dawning.

Touch me,
It's so easy to leave me,
All alone with the memory,
Of my days in the sun,
If you touch me you'll understand that happiness was,
Look a new day, has begun.

Hi, I'm Estel; the only one mind you, pay no attention to those lame immitations, & I'll be singing Papercut by Linkin Park [hardish rock?/in the voice of Smeagol (with Gollum providing the screaming as needed )].

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left.
I don't know what stressed me first,
Or how the pressure was fed.
But I know just what it feels like,
To have a voice in the back of my head.
Like a face that I hold inside,
A face that awakes when I close my eyes;
A face watches every time I lie,
A face that laughs every time I fall.
(And watches everything)

So I know that when it's time to sink or swim,
That the face inside is hearing me;
Right beneath my skin.

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back,
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head;
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within,
It's like a Wheel of Fire is right beneath my skin!

I know I've got a face in me,
Points out all my mistakes to me.
You've got a face on the inside too and,
Your paranoia's probably worse.
I don't know what set me off first,
But I know what I can't stand.
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is,
I can't add up to what you can but

Everybody has a face that they hold inside,
A face that awakes when I close my eyes;
A face watches every time they lie,
A face that laughs every time they fall.
(And watches everything)

So you know that when it's time to sink or swim,
That the face inside is watching you too;
Right inside your skin.

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back,
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head;
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within,
It's like a Wheel of Fire is right beneath my skin!

The face inside is right beneath your skin.
The face inside is right beneath your skin.
The face inside is right beneath your skin.

The sun goes down,
I feel the light betray me.
The sun goes down,
I feel the light betray me.

The sun
I feel the light betray me!
The sun
I feel the light betray me!

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back,
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head;
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within,
It's like a Wheel of Fire is right beneath my skin!

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back,
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head;
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within,
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within,
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within,
It's like a Wheel of Fire is right beneath my skin!
