Middle Earth Idol

[Sleepy Ranger]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have for you, performing live tonight none other than Sleepy Ranger! Lets give him a hand people!

Sleepy grins and walks onto the stage along with the rest of his band. "Alright people, the first we're playing for you is 'The Hobbit Rhapsody' by Queen. It'll have a variety of styles and I shall be performing in the voice of Sam Gamgee."

The Hobbit Rhapsody

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

Rosie, just killed an orc, Put a pan against his head
Heaved my hand, now he's dead
Rosie, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Rosie, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the quest
Rosie, ooh, I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a hobbit
Smeagol, Smeagol, will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me
(Gollum.) Gollum. (Gollum.) Gollum, Gollum figaro
Magnifico. I'm just a poor hobbit and everybody loves me
He's just a rich hobbit from a rich family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Oh Shelob! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Oh Shelob! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Oh Shelob! We will not let you go
(Let me go.) Will not let you go
(Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(Oh mama mia, mama mia.) Mama mia, let me go
The Witch-King has a nazgul put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Destroying the ring really matters, Anyone can see
Destroying the ring really matters
Destroying the ring really matters to me

Any way the wind blows

"Next we'll be performing One Ring (Wonderwall) by Oasis. Light rock, we'll try and cut this as smooth as possible. The voice shall resemble that of Aragorn."

Wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to Mt. Doom
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the citadel
That the fire in Barad-Dur is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a fear
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who corrupts me,
And after all,
You're my One Ring!

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who corrupts me
And after all
You're my One Ring

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who corrupts me
And after all
You're my One Ring

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that corrupts me
You're gonna be the one that corrupts me
You're gonna be the one that corrupts me

"Thank you very much ladies and gentle-men! Feel free to drop in any song requests and Sleepy Ranger's Band shall try their best to do it justice. Now, back to Middle-Earth Idol."

[Valesse]

After pulling out the wool (which had been so deeply shoved into their ears at the beginning of the preformance), the judges were physically stunned by Sleepy Cowell's "yes" to William. Now they had 15 contestants promised a trip to the Hall of Fire, and another..er "con..tender".. in Limbo.

Will Wilwa and Glirdy ever get their hearing back? What kind of quips can we expect from Sleepy about this? Find out when we return... after this message from the Mount Zoom Challenge.

[wilwarin538]

William
Ah, sorry hun but............ I'm going to have to say............yes!

[Glirdan]

William
I'd say yes eevn if you paid me to.

Cowell, would you stop howling and get back to your seat!? Your making me go tone deaf!!

[Anguirel]

Hi, I'm Anguirel and I'll be performing Maedhros Dylan's smash hit soul-wail Shelter from the Oath, performed on a Noldorin harp with several percussionists in the background representing different Sons of Feanor. Without further ado:

'Twas in another Sun-Age, one of toil and blood
When Kinslayin' was common and the road was full of mud
I came in from the Anfauglith, handless and friendless both.
"Come in," he said,
"I'll give you shelter from the Oath."

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for him, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, with Valar paralysed by sloth
"Come in," he said,
"I'll give you shelter from the Oath."

Not a sword was slung between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
To rescue and to heal valiant Fingon isn’t loth.
"Come in," he said,
"I'll give you shelter from the Oath."

I was burned out from Utumno, buried in the hail,
Chained about and tortured an' hung out o’er the trail,
Hunted like a Petty-Dwarf, as they later quoth.
"Come in," he said,
"I'll give you shelter from the Oath."

Suddenly I turned around and he was standin' there
He saw my iron bracelet and to defy them he’d dare
He flew right up on Thorondor, without some feeble moth
"Come in," he said,
"I'll give you shelter from the Oath."

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, and Ulfang double-crossed.
Just to think of his deep cloven helm inspires sorrow’s growth.
"Come in," he’d said,
"I'll give you shelter from the Oath."

Well, Curufin works on hard knives and Celegorm rides a mount
But nothing really matters now, it's doom alone that counts
And Amras, Amrod, hunters, they felt futile wroth.
"Come in," he said,
"I'll give you shelter from the Oath."

I've heard babes lost in woods wailin' like a mournin' dove
And Caranthir in anger, stranded without love.
Do I understand your question, Elf, our hopeless plighted troth?
"Come in," he’d said,
"I'll give you shelter from the Oath."

In a little hilltop fortress, Maglor and I grew cold
I bargained for a Union and I caught us in Doom’s fold.
I wanted independence but I got me no Arbroath.
"Come in," he’d said,
"I'll give you shelter from the Oath."

Well, I'm livin' in the grey Halls but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty cut me sorely, when I tried to make it mine.
If I could only turn back the clock to a fiery, headstrong youth
"Come in," he said,
"I'll give you shelter from the Oath."

[Glirdan]

Oromin and Ang
Such great quality voices. Your songs were perfect for your voice. It's a yes to both of you.

[Glirdan]

By the way Cowell, Wilwa and I discussed your performance and we have decided...You've made it to the next round!! (It was all her by the way. I think I'm still tone deaf...)

[Lote22]

Hey I'm Lote from Mirkwood. This is a song sung by Frodo to the Ring. It's based on Your My Best Friend by Queen.

Your My Worst Friend


Eww you make me sick
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you that takes it away
Eww you make me sick now ringy
Eww you make me sick

Ooh you're the worst friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my badside and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really can’t stand you
Oh you're my worst friend

Eww you make me sick

Ooh I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've taken over me ring
I'm happy at home (away from you)
You're my worst friend

Eww you make me sick
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to make it worse
Eww you make me sick now ringy
Eww you make me sick

You're the one ring
When things turn out bad
You know I'll always blame you
You're the one ring
And I hate the things
I really hate the things that you do
You're my worst friend

Eww you make me sick

I'm happy at home (away from you)
You're my worst friend
Oh you're my worst friend
Eww you make me sick
You you're my worst friend
