Mega B Natural
Please step forward at this time. The Sing-Off looms, and unfortunately, you were the three lowest scorers. Two of you will advance, one of you will not, but no matter what happens, be sure to give it your all going forward, and continue to make judges think. In any case, you've all done spectacularly over the course of the Season, and none of you have anything to be ashamed of. Slipping in under the gun with 60 points overall is...
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Knailsic Loves to Boogie!! who added some Latino flair to the proceedings with Los Lobos and their smash hit "La Bamba" (9th place, 30 Points)!
That means our Sing-Off contestants will be Moonie, who won't be raising the white flag any time soon with Black Flag's "TV Party" (T-10th place, 25 Points), and Mega B Natural, who's looking to hold onto a good vibe with Loreen's "Euphoria" (11th place, 23 Points)!
Knock the Judges dead in the Sing-Off folks, because whoever comes out of this one has certainly earned it!
(Judges' Rankings to be added later when my brain isn't fried from actually having to do math
. Or when Tyger edits them in, whichever comes first.)
