Well, there goes everything. I really hope I don't get eliminated because this has been the most intense version of the competition so far, and I'd love to keep going.

I'm probably going to keep my Round 11 pick I like the song I selected but I was trying to find something else to use and I just can't find nothing else good enough.

And, given that it was your guys' best round to date, here's my thoughts on the amazing round 9. In my scoring order Javier Colon - Ok, Here's the TruthOkay, I'm just going to be straight up honest with you. This song made me tear up, for real. Between Colon's AMAZING voice and the story within the song, this was just a fantastic pick for me. As far as the round goes, this was a perfect pick. Elvis Presley - All Shook UpHow can you not like an Elvis classic like this? As far as modern music goes, Elvis was, and is, one of the best voices out there - so this pick absolutely makes sense for this round. Great pick, and just a great song overall. Paloma Faith - FreedomSee, this is the reason I love this game. I'd never heard of this band before, but I was obviously missing out on something special. If you want great voices, this is a song for you, and being live proves that they honestly have the goods. Great pick. The Doors - Backdoor ManMan, what a talent Mr. Morrison was, and this song is just one instance of that. Fantastic vocal performance, even if it's not a favorite song/cover of mine. Still, given the round topic, it's a great pick. Bing Crosby - Easter ParadeI love Bing Crosby and music like this. The majority of it just sounds so damn happy you can't help but love it. And, how can you not love Crosby's silky smooth vocals? Great pick. Evanescence - Call Me When You're SoberI'm not a super big fan of Evanescence, and my only real exposure to them is "Bring Me to Life", which was inescapable back in the day. However, Amy Lee's got a fantastic voice with a haunting but beautiful quality to it. I love the band's sound, and her voice is just the cherry on top. Fantastic pick. Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan - Girl from the North CountryI like Johnny Cash enough, but I'm no fan of Dylan. Still, though, this is a great song, and Cash's voice is just perfect. Great pick. Pearl Jam - Yellow LedbetterDAT GUITAR. Seriously, even though I'm a guitarist, you don't have to be to appreciate that fat, SMOOTH guitar. If we're going by voice, that guitar's voice is beautiful enough to deem this pick legit. Great pick, even if I'm not the biggest Pearl Jam fan in the world. Elton John and Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breaking My HeartLove Sir Elton John, but this isn't a favorite of mine. However, given the round's topic, it's a great pick - because, even though Elton doesn't have the best voice in the world, it's still a good one. Good pick. Whitney Houston - Star Spangled BannerI've never been a big Whitney Houston fan - it's just not my favorite sound. However, for this round, can you pick anybody better? She was an amazing talent, and this is a great example of that talent. Garbage - MedicationI'm not big on Garbage, but this song has a cool, haunting sound to it. Shirley Manson is a seriously great vocal talent, too, so this is a good pick, just not a favorite of mine in this TOUGH round. Janelle Monae - Dance or DieI like Monae, she's a beautiful, talented woman with an incredible voice. This is a tough round where every pick was great, but this just wasn't a favorite of mine. It's a great song, either way, and a good pick. Josie Miles - Mad Mama's BluesDefinitely NOT the kind of lyrics I was expecting from this type of music, so it was definitely a shocking pick. She does have a great voice, but I just thought that this round offered better. Otis Redding - That's How Strong My Love IsOtis is a fantastic vocal talent, but if I'm honest, I don't think this was the best pick to show off his vocal talents. It's still a good pick, but I think there's better ones that can be chosen from his catalog.

I replaced my Round 11 song I wanted to find a song better then the one I originally picked I think my original pick was good but I wasn't sure if it would be good enough the song I replaced it with I think will be good enough.

I just realized.....I GOT A FIRST PLACE VOTE! WOO WOO WOO!!! Slowly but surely, you're moving your way up. Still waiting on both elimination contestants to send in their picks. Keep sending your Round 10 and 11 picks in. Soon, I'll make another thread.

Still waiting on the sing-off contestant. On a sad note, FAN forum member The Line (Andy Duke) has passed away. officialfan.proboards.com/thread/470203/rip-line-andy-dukeThe Line was active in the off-topic and forum games section. He also started the FAN Movie club; Cageking and I, among others, presented for it. I'm going to dedicate the rest of this game to him and all the other FAN Members/ Wrestlecrap Members that we've lost over the years.

I think I'll take this opportunity to drop out and let our Number 1 Frenchman win only because he's way more active than me and I have only been making little to no posts at all in the last couple of days and by the looks of it, it's not going to change. But yeah, it's been fun.
Just read that we lost a member, that's terrible. R.I.P

But yeah, it's been fun. Just read that we lost a member, that's terrible. R.I.P Are sure? I'll give you some time to think about it but, if you are, I'm sorry to see you go. You've had a hell of a run so far and I consider you a friend from all the games and off topic stuff we get into (music tourneys and such). So, I hope you can come back to us soon. If you are leaving of course. Ok, here's the deal. I've thought about this scenario in the past: what if a contestant had to leave? And I've figured, let's use something that sucks and roll with the punches and do something that's cool. So, this is what I'm going to do, provided Moonie doesn't reconsider: We're going to have a bonus round . What does that mean? Well, I'm not about to eliminate Ssnakebite. So, he's safe. However, let's make things a bit interesting. Let's take the winners of Rounds 8: Instrumentals and Round 9: The Voice and, alongside SsnakebitetheNumber1Frenchman, they'll compete in a Bonus Round Sing-Off. This means that they'll play for an additional 5 points added to their Round 11 (an Elimination Round) score. So... Cantus Fraggle and Brad is The Simming Master! please step forward. You will be joining Ssnakebite in this Bonus Round. This is going to work a bit differently than the Elimination Round because we're going to give you a theme!!! And the Theme is.... ElectronicChoose one song that falls into the genre of Electronic Music. A diverse musical genre, Electronic Music encapsulates subgenres like Trance, Techno, Ambient, Drum and Bass, Industrial, House, and many more. Essentially, think of this as alternatively music to dance to or music to sit down and think and feel to. Can include vocals or be purely instrumental. It can be from bands and musicians that are or are not traditionally Electronic Music performers; think of this as the round of drum machines and musical software. Can be from any time period, any sub genre, etc. Let me know if you have any questions but, we're all a bunch of clever ducks, so we should do well this time around .
