Okay, I shall be giving my judgements as soon as everyone is done. But seriously, where is Wilwa!?!? I really need to call her tonight...

Mithalwen · 07-07-2006, 01:47 PM

Aldarion and Erendis to the tune of Scarborough Fair, my own voice in dark contralto mode, which suits the tune more than just about anything else I have tried to sing

Are you going to Emerië?
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
Remember me to one who lives there,
For she once was a true love of mine.

Tell her to be the queen of my heart,
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
And not to weep whenever we part,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Bid her not grudge my long years away,
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
Though her life has far shorter stay,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Bid her to yield and return to my side,
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
Remember her duty and forget her pride,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Ask her to do me this courtesy,
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
My Elestirnë again she will be,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

Have you been to Armenelos?
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
Remember me to one who lives there,
For he once was a true love of mine.

Ask him to dwell for ever on land,
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
Away from the salt water and the sea-sand,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

Ask him build ships without felling a tree,
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
And to forget his mistress the sea,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

Ask him to yield to my will in all things,
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
And grant me the life span of Kings,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

When he has done and finished his task,
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
Ask him to come for the queen of his heart,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.

If you say that you can't, then I shall reply,
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
Oh, Let me know that at least you will try,
Or you'll never be a true love of mine.

Love imposes impossible tasks,
Westmansweed and sweet evermind,
But none more than any heart would ask,
I must know you're a true love of mine.

Er ... am I too late?

I do hope not.

I will be singing The Ballad of Sam and Frodo, a song originally performed by the Shire pop combo The Vittles.

Standing on the shore at Parth Galen,
Trying to get to Mordor and Doom.
Denethor’s son said, "Now give me the One".
You know I had to use the Ring to resume.

Quests - you know they ain't easy,
You know how hard they can be.
The way things are going
It’s gonna overcome me.

Finally made the Emyn Muil border,
Dead Marshes stretched out ahead.
Smeagol joined us to say,
"We can makes it O.K.,
But beware the tricksy lights of the dead".

Quests - you know they ain't easy,
You know how hard they can be.
The way things are going
It’s gonna overcome me.

From Morannon to the borders of Gondor,
Hanging out in Henneth Annûn.
Young Faramir said, "You have a black road ahead”
I said, "We're only trying to get our job done".

Quests - you know they ain't easy,
You know how hard they can be.
The way things are going
It’s gonna overcome me.

Saving up our Lembas for the journey home,
Putting all our hope in destiny.
Last night Samwise said,
"Oh boy, that Gollum’s bad
I don’t trust him with you
Or the Ring - Slink!"

Through the frightening cave of the Spider,
Poisoned by her venomous sting.
Samwise he said, "Now that Frodo is dead,
It’s up to me to unmake the Ring".

Quests - you know they ain't easy,
You know how hard they can be.
The way things are going
It’s gonna overcome me.

Caught by Orcs but rescued by Samwise.
Finally made Orodruin.
The voice in my mind said, "The Ring it is mine!”
‘Twas Gollum proved the Ring’s undoing.

Quests - you know they ain't easy,
You know how hard they can be.
Here at the ending of all things
I’m glad that Sam is with me.
Here at the ending of all things
I’m glad that Sam is with me.

Well I know where Wilwa's been at least one of these nights*

Maybe I'll write a book...

Sleepy Ranger · 07-14-2006, 10:27 AM

Okay now that I'm finally on both feet (ie; no more travelling for a couple of weeks) we can move on. Since I'm too tired (lazy) to make a poll PM your choices to either of the four of us. Votes should be in by 17th, results will be in on the 18th. My comments will be up when I'm awake. ie; tomorrow (15th July)

Glirdan · 07-14-2006, 10:32 AM

My comments will be up later on tonight. If not tonight, than sometime tomorrow (ie, the 15ht. Or as I like to call it, my birthday!!

). Sorry about making you guys wait for these. I know, we're incompetent judges.

Well, some of us anyway...

wilwarin538 · 07-14-2006, 01:03 PM

No worries I am here! (and no Estel I wasn't with Corey Clark

)

So here are my comments, which are, like always, short and sweet:

Anguirel: That was really good, very touching, brought tears to my eyes.

Celuien: Very pretty ballad, you did a great job with that one! And you also look very cute tonight, where did you buy that adorable top?

Elempi: That was an interesting song, very powerful. Good job.

Estel: Very good, I always liked that ballad. Slinkle is now my favorite word.

Gurthang: Very nice, I really enjoyed it, you showed a lot of passion, good work.

Hookbill: Well....uhmm.....that was definetely.....a.....interesting.....good job.

Mith: Also a very pretty song, I enjoyed that very much.

Saucie: Touching and powerful, amazing!

Good luck everyone!
