DEMENTED has written up his themes, but has asked me to post it for him...
So that's right... 4 themes. Send me 1 song per theme. Deadline is Tuesday, June 19th!

Songs up. Judges let's get them in ASAP, so I can have results in by Friday Morning, to make up for being a slow host. (I'm sitting out judging this round to make sure.) Classical Remix New Country Demented

Votes are in on my end. Finally you guys made it tough for me to judge! Most of these rounds were so good that I hated to rank some of these songs last. I will say that one category lived up to its name though and one of you made a huge mistake to land you at the bottom of one of my rounds, even though the song is really good.

Didn't notice it until you mentioned it. Thanks for the reminder, and points have been adjusted accordingly.

As we wait for me to have a day off to spreadsheet the results... here are 4 more themes for the next round: As suggested by Cageking: Word Life~Basic Thuganomics. A very under-represented genre in this game. Send me a Rap or Hip Hop (and other associated genres) song choice to me. Now three of my own: Duets Send me a duet performance/song. Easy right? The Cover I want a cover song/performance. Songs used in the past are fine here, as long as it's an unused cover performance/song. Finally... That Voice Send me a song or performance where it's the singing/vocals/voice that makes the performance, rather than the instruments. (The instruments can still be great playing, but the song choice/performance should still feature the vocals) Vocals are subjective, remember that! *Also I think we've gone far enough in the competition that everyone knows how to pick accordingly to the theme in this competition. Anything you send to me will be APPROVED for judging. Be careful, the judges will still be looking out.

Results NOW. Last Week Widow's Peak was saved! Did the Judges Save Prove to be worth it this time around? {Spoiler}Heck yes! Widow has the HIGHEST combined scores of the round. She is SAFE! Gus you were in the bottom 2 last week with Widow, are you in the bottom 2 again this week? {Spoiler}Unfortunately yes, you are. You are in the bottom 2. Z-A, how was this round working out for you? You had one song that 1/2 of the judges really disliked. {Spoiler}Well your other songs picked up the slack. Congrats you are in the Top 4! Sharpy, you had a difficult time this round, self admitted, but have the judges thought the same? Is it Pegasus who is on the chopping block instead? {Spoiler}No, unfortunately you were right, the judges scores showed your theme weakness here. You are in the bottom 2! So Bottom 2 send me your Sing Off Song to me ASAP. You have free reign on any genre. Graphics: {Spoiler} Remember now, Top 4 songs are due loosely by Friday.

Been waiting to say this one thing ... There's one song that probably just broke into my Top 10 mark-out moments for this game's history. I wish I would have thought of them this round, but it just didn't hit me until after I saw them listed. I marked like crazy for the following song: {Spoiler}The Dresden Dolls - "Girl Anachronism" I knew who picked it too, just from the way results were set up, and looking at the overall picks, I knew Widow's Peak should have been at #1 for this round. 3 out of her 4 rounds, I thought she knocked it out of the park!

At least the one song I was confident about (Buried Alive) did well.
But Classical, Remixes and Modern Country just isn't my scene. :X (The four choices this time, I feel rather more comfortable about)
Sending in my Sing Off choice now. Can't say I'm overly confident, but then again I never am heh.

SO I felt like this round really stretched us a lot out of our comfort zones. I am so glad to be top 2 again instead of bottom 2. Good luck you 2, btw.
This coming up round I really Like! I am happy with all of my choices (though one round of it was a tough decision) I look forward to how everyones choices look!

Sharpy, fantastic job, dude! You did a heck of a job!
GusRichlen, I marked ever so hard for that Madonna pick. Gutsy gutsy gutsy. More guts than I had. I haven't been able to bring myself to pull the trigger on one of her songs. Great job, and grrrreat song!

I actually thought that was a bit of a gamble as well, PW.
And now I have my guaranteed best finish ever.
Great job BTW, Sharpy. Nothing wrong with finishing fifth. I did it twice.
EDIT: I'll try to send my songs in tomorrow. I may be stuck on rap.
