You have an awsome voice dude. Simple as that. It's a definite yes from me.

Steve
It seems that I don't even have to say yes, even though I would.

*Halfway out the door, and restrained by seven security guards, Alcarillos shouts out:*

Hear that! They said yes! Mwahahaha! I, Alc- oops, I mean Steve, shall be famous!

Security guard #1: I don't think so, pal. You're a little too crazy for this contest.

Security guard #2: Yeah. We can't let a guy who used a broom to fight his way in here participate. You're too unpredictable.

Alcarillo: But that's what audiences want, right? Unpredictable characters to keep them on the edges of their seats!

Security guard #1: But we don't want somebody who'll snap when he's voted off and will pose as a danger to others. You're . . . crazy.

Security guard #2: Middle-Earth Idol is a high-pressure singing contest. We're not sure what somebody like yourself might do under such stress.

Alcarillo: No! No! But they said yes! But, but, no!

*Alcarillo is dragged out by the security guards, and that was the last the judges ever saw of Alcarillo (or was it?)*

Hello. I am Folwren. This song I'm about to sing for you is something of a lament from Sam to Frodo after his master left the Shire to be healed across the Western Sea - mourning his departure, but knowing he can't follow yet, but will someday.
The original song is done by Lorena McKennit (the title of that is The Old Ways) and I'm afraid I've fairly plagiarized her lyrics. The lines and stanzas may seem odd, but it fits the tune perfectly.
Sung in a clear, strong voice. Celtic style.

You Had To Go

On the dark summer’s night, near the Western shore
I heard your voice singing
The elven lights shown
Bright stars on this earth,
T’was a vision before me.

With the music we rode,
You were there by my side
Down paths so well known - together
As we came to the sea, felt the wind in our hair
With sadness you paused.

Suddenly I knew that you’d have to go,
Your world was not mine
Your eyes told me so
Yet it was there I felt the cross roads of time
And I wondered why?

As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea
A vision came over me
Of thundering hooves
And beating wings
With torn clouds above.

Turning to go, heard you call out my name
Like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly
The old ways are lost you sang as you flew
And I wondered why?

The pounding sea is calling me home unto you
The thundering waves are calling me home unto you

When you walked into this room I shook my head and thought, "Oh great! This will be boring!" and I was wrong, which I rarely am. That was an excellent performance, you showed a great personality in your voice and you were confident, great vocal range. You've got the whole package, dear. Its a yes from me. Best audition so far.

Thumbs up

I'm guessing that I made it because it was 2 out of three. Same voice, but I will be singing Matchbox 20's song 3 A.M.

she say it’s cold outside and she hands me my grey cape
she’s always worried about things like that
she says it’s all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
and she only sleeps when it’s raining
and she screams and her voice is straining
(yells )
(chorus)
she says love
it’s 3 am I must be lonely
(Yeah)when she says baby
well I can’t help but be scared of it all sometimes
says the rain’s gonna wash away I believe it

she’s got a little bit of something, dear Elrond it’s better than nothing
and in her elvishly beautiful world she believes that she’s got it all
she swears the moon won't hang quite as high as it used to
and she only sleeps when it’s raining
and she sings and her voice is straining

(chorus)

she believes that life is made up of all the elder days
and the world has been stuck at three for days, and days
she thinks that happiness is a gift that sits on her doorway
but outside it’s stopped raining......

(chorus)

My name is Elempí and I'm from the Edge of Faerie. I got this invitation, you see, and well, it's like this: I think this song belongs to Bilbo. I'll be singing Life's Been Good by Bilbo Walsh. (Pop rock; Joe Walsh voice)

I earned a Dwarf's wealth, forget its price
Didn't never get it, they tell me it's nice
I live in Rivendell, stare at the walls
I have a minstrel play all my songs

They think I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for words so I can make a good rhyme
Life's been good to me so far

My pricey waistcoat cost one-eighty-five
I lost my Ring which barely left me alive
I have a pony, ride on its back
I live with Elves in case I'm attacked

I write some poetry, Strider can't wait
He helps me with parts, tells me I'm great
So I got me an old chair, to sit in the Fire Hall
But I end up sleeping here by the wall

Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(I'm just an old fool......”He's no fool”)
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far

I go to luncheons, sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle good fortune and fame
All these Elves are so different, I haven't changed

They say I'm aging; and it takes all my time
(Everybody say “Bilbo”..... “Baggins”)
I keep on rhyming till the day I die
Life's been good to me so far

yeah, yeah, yeah

Eleven people had been choosen to advance to the Hall of Fire by the time the judges moved on to Annúminas. There they came to the understanding that the city had been abandoned for at least two thousand years. Disturbed about how geographically out of date they were, all three made a "long" -but, stunningly, brief- journey to Edoras where many musical suprises awaited.

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,

Wow!! I've got a lot of judging to do!! And that's what you get for taking a coffee break!! Vala!! Why didn't you take over for me?? You've got some musical talent...don't you?? I mean, you are a Dj.

Elempi
Even if I said no, you'd be going through. But it'd be a yes from me dog!! Wait to go!!

Lhuna
That was perfect!! I loved how you hit every single note on key!! That was amazing girl!!

Morai
I'm sorry dog, but that just didn't do it for me. I'm going to have to say no dude. Sorry. It's all up to Cowell now. Cowell? (I think he went on a lunch break too. )

Kath
That was simple amazing. Another one who can hit every note on key. It's a yes from me.

Estel
That was great dog!! When I heard what song you were doing, I didn't think you would be able to pull it off, but you did dog. Congrats!! It's a definite yes from me.

1420! <----The beer seems appropriate for this song

*A young, rather stout female Hobbit with curly hair and freckles steps up to the microphone.*

Hello, I'm Oromin from Bywater. I will be singing the popular Buckland folk tune Wreck of the Arnor Queen, based on The Wreck Of The Athens Queen, by Stan Rogers. It's a very fun a bouncy song that pays tribute to the fine pastime of drunken salvaging. (Folk tune; happy Alto voice)


We were drinking down to Maggot's house
When first we heard the blow
It seemed to come from Ripper Rock
So boldly forth we go

And, sure enough, a rusty tub
Could just be barely seen
As her stern was high up in the air
We made out "Arnor Queen"

Oh, the lovely Arnor Queen

Now boys, may I remind you,
There's a bottle left inside
So let us go and have a few
And wait until low tide

And if the river's not claimed her
When the glasses are licked clean
We will then set forth some dories, lads,
And see what can be seen

On the lovely Arnor Queen

Some songs and old tall stories then
To help to pass the time
Nor could a single bottle
Keep us all until low tide

And so it was before we left
The house we were at sea
And I scarcely can remember
How we made the Arnor Queen

Oh, the lovely Arnor Queen

Oh the waves inside me belly
Were as high as those outside
And though I'm never seasick,
I lost dinner overside

T'was well there was no crew to save
For we'd have scared 'em green
We could scarcely keep ourselves
From falling off the Arnor Queen

Oh, the lovely Arnor Queen

Well, Maggot goes straight down below
And comes up with a cow
"Hello", I said, "and what would you
Be wantin' with that now?

"You'll never take a cow home
In a dory on such seas!"
"Well me son," says he, "I've always fancied
Fresh cream in mint tea

On the lovely Arnor Queen."

I headed for the galley, then,
'Cause I was gettin' dry
And glad I was to get there quick
For what should I espy?

Oh what a shame it would have been
For to lose them all at sea
Forty cases of the best Green Dragon
Ale I've ever seen

Oh, the lovely Arnor Queen

I loaded twenty cases, boys,
Then headed for the shore
Unloaded them as quick as that
And then pulled back for more

Bolger was headin' for the shore
Though he could scarce be seen
Under near two hundred chickens
And a leather couch of green

Oh, the lovely Arnor Queen

So here's to all good salvagers
Likewise to Ripper Rock
And to Green Dragon ale of which
Now we have much stock

We eat a lot of chicken
And sit on a couch of green
And we wait for Ripper Rock
To claim another Arnor Queen

Oh, the lovely Arnor Queen

I was trying to get an interview with the security guards who tried to take Alc-I mean Steve away... I can't understand trolls, though, so it was rather slow goings, if you catch my meaning. I think Sleepy Cowell is doing a publicity stunt or something, actually, and knowing him...

Yes, I was exposing the hospital's conspiracy of keeping you sick for longer than needed and taking all your money. Needless to say I was succesful.

Morai
I'm not really sure why but I thought it was alright, must be the medication but its a yes from me.


Kath
Kath... Kath... Kath... Where do I begin on how terrible that was? Sure, you have a great voice but it all went wrong somewhere but nevermind, its a yes.

TORE
Every season why must there be someone looking to rock his way in? And why do we let him in every season? It just seems so wrong but its like we don't have a choice! Heres a yes, savour it.

*muttering* Forget that, I think they just get you to stay overnight and then replace you with a bi-polar clone. Since when do you say yes to every song in one sitting?

Boots Plop!

Hi, my name is William. I want to be the first Middle-earth Idol.

(NOTE: Singing is accompanied by wild arm gryrations.)
He burgles, he burgles!
Oh, baby, when he steals, he steals!
I go crazy cos he picks my pocket then he stings like a bee
Like that Bilbo from history

He burgles, he burgles!
I'm wasted by the way he steals!
No one ever stole so much--
Hey, I want my coin purse back! *runs out*

I actually liked that performance. It wasn't too bad and I guess you may just have a shot at winning if you practice. Practice is the key, it won't make you perfect but nobody other than I can ever be perfect. Its a yes from me.

William

Read the rules again, you've left out a lot.

Boots So I did.

Sorry, short of time there. Song was from She Bangs, sung by William the troll, William Hung style.

Give me my 'no,' or else . . .

That song goes well with your voice. Had you sung anything else I most certainly would've given you a no but you made that song work for you, I'm shocked to say the least. That was a good performance, its a yes from me.

Boots Argh!

Curse you Sleepy Cowell! You and your boybands! I had a contract all ready, see--I'd sing my worst, get my three 'no's, then make an album filled with horrible songs! Success for me without having to do the rest of the contest!

But you had to say 'yes' to me! [Bleep] you, you [bleep]ing [bleep]! [Bleep] this contest! It's [bleep]ing rigged! Rargh! [Bleeeeeep]!

(Peace! )

Pipe Oh My!

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."

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.

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."

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

Good job. Nice song choice, it went well with your voice. I say yes.

Very nice song, touching, shows Frodo's true feelings. You did a good job with that! I say yes!

I agree, you did a wonderful job. Great presentation, perfect song for your voice. You had everything working for you with that performance, very refreshing. Its a yes from me.

Lotte

That was a very hard song to sing and I wouldn't really expect someone to sing it in the auditions. I think you made a mess of it, you were all over the place and now I don't mean to be rude but I don't think you had any idea what you were doing, did you even practice? Its a no from me. Glirdy?
