This is hard,because now I dont want to use my best songs Edit: Decide to go with a song that is more a "me" song than to try and choose an amazing song.

"I guess I must have sat there at least three hours," Elvis told Memphis Press- Scimitar reporter Bob Johnson in 1956. "I sang everything I knew – pop stuff, spirituals, just a few words of [anything] I remembered." Sam watched intently through the glass of the control room window – he was no longer taping, and in almost every respect this session had to be accounted a dismal failure, but still there was something. . . from www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/elvis-presley-how-sun-records-boss-sam-phillips-discovered-a-star-in-1954-a6713891.htmlThank you contestants for the quick response! All 16 songs have been sent to me and I will reveal them here and pm them to the judges. Without trying to influence the judges' strategies in selecting contestants, it is absolutely fascinating to see what directions the contestants went in with this theme. Very happy to see the music represented. As stated earlier, these songs will not be judged for points but ranked by the judges and used by then to assemble a team of four players each. As suggested by @gbrjazzman, judges will receive the songs in pm. They will rank their Top 8 songs. If there are four different top 4 lists, then those are the teams. If not, then we go deeper into the Top 8 songs. If two or more judges have the same song in the same ranking spot, the player gets to choose which team they want to join. To simulate the Blind Audition aspect, the songs will be given to the judges and posted here without titles. They will be listed in alphabetical order by artist The songs are: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mil9PPugSFUwww.youtube.com/watch?v=-SDWFvsN2lw www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdpTcvSn8HQ www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nqxnXWtYVA www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX5v1Ka8UTYwww.youtube.com/watch?v=P2ZptXMBU0E&app=desktop www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsXxoBuF7Do www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbVISS-lEAc www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVb2TXj_Zg0&feature=youtu.bewww.youtube.com/watch?v=_KvXteZkByE www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCen-DosMjQ&feature=youtu.bewww.youtube.com/watch?v=ot1j5M5PTC4&app=desktop&persist_app=1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcHnoxp-js0&feature=youtu.be www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmadSGJCzo8&app=desktop www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiJl73vpWCg www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4VAdWJXyFk Judges are doing their rankings, so please allow them some time.

"Pick me, pick me yea Everyone is waiting Pick me pick me yea You can be the baby" Nirvana - Dive I have received the Judges' rankings for the songs submitted for Round One: Blind Auditions. Thank you for your quick response and commentary, Judges. The judges were asked to rank the Round songs from 1 to 16 and from the highest ranking to the least, they received their team members. They did not have knowledge about which contestant sent in which song. The format worked as follows: Each judge would get their first pick, starting with the first judge who sent in their rankings. If another judge or judges shared the first pick, then the player would get to choose their team. Once a player was chosen, they were unavailable for selection and the judge would get their next available choice. This was done until there were four teams of four players each. For ease of explaining the sekection, I refer to this in rounds, but I arranged the teams during one session. The judges ranked the songs in their preferred order and I merely moved down when players were already sekected. Here were the four players selected with the first four picks: For his first pick and the first pick of the game, Spider2024 chose ECHO by Suntory Nomu, which was sent in by... aka Cthulhu !!! Next up was fw91 , who started his team by selecting the player who selected in Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits. That player is... Gus Richlen Was Wrong !!! The third judge to send in their list was Jazzman . The top song for him was Tuxedo's Do It, which was turned in by... Dub H !!! To round out the first round of picks was @babaganoush . His favorite song for the round, and the pick he received was Concrete Blonde's Joey. That song was brought to us by... Brainbustaaah! !!! Onto the next four picks: To start the second group of picks, Spider2024 went with the player that submitted B Lover's Say Sue Me... RadcapRadsley !!! For his second pick, fw91 had access to his second highest ranked song, Bad Fish by Sublime. With that, he selected to his team... Brandon Walsh is Insane. !!! For the third pick of this round, we come to Jazzman , who was able to attain his second overall pick with Hurray for the Riff Raff's the Body Electric, sent in by... Waffel113 !!! Last but not least for this set of selections was @babaganoush , who was able to receive the player who sent in his second favorite song of the round, DJ Quik's Jus Like Compton... BrodietheSlayer !!! The teams filling up nicely, we come to the third round of picks. Spider2024 received another high pick of his, adding as another team member of his the player that chose Metallica's Free Speech for the Dumb... No Longer a Produceman !!! Next up, for his third team member, fw91 was able to select another high-end choice of his, Television Romance by Pale Waves, as picked by... J !!! As we get closer to filling out teams, Jazzman was able to procure another team member by selecting Greta Svabo Bech ft. Ludovico Einaudi and their Circles, as submitted by... @returnofthestryker !!! With the last pick of the third Round, @babaganoush came up with another incendiary pick, landing Sonia Leigh's Jack is Back, as brought to us by... Square !!! That brings to the fourth round of picks. Remember, fourth round still means that these players were selected highly on their respected team leaders list. For Spider2024 's fourth pick, he was able to recruit the player that selected FM-84's Don't Want to Change Your Mind to Round out his team... Futureraven: Beelzebruv !!! With his final pick to shore up his team, fw91 ranked this song highly, gaining the player who sent in Dwight Yoakam's Try Not To Look So Pretty... Big Bad Brad !!! For his crucial fourth player selection, Jazzman was able to enlist the musical guru that picked George Strait's Amarillo by Morning... blissified!!! And with the final selection, ranked highly by this judge, @babaganoush completed his team by receiving the player that chose Bjork's Hyperballad... Clash, Never a Meter Maid!!!

See, even this metalhead can pick out something beautiful from somewhere else. Now watch as I demonstrate throughout the season how dark my musical soul really is.

After the judges sent in their rankings for Round 1 : Blind Auditions, I used those rankings to create a four player team for each judge. Those lists went from favorite to least favorite song in the round, with the judges receiving the majority of their highest picks. There were no ties, so no Judge's steals, as employed in the Voice, were used. This led to the creation of the following teams; Team Spider2024aka CthulhuRadcapRadsleyNo Longer a ProducemanFutureraven: BeelzebruvTeam @babaganoush Brainbustaaah!BrodietheSlayerSquareClash, Never a Meter MaidTeam fw91Gus Richlen Was WrongBrandon Walsh is Insane.JBig Bad BradTeam JazzmanDub HWaffel113@returnofthestryker blissifiedGoing forward, this Season of FAN Idol will be played in teams. Teams serve to both support and challenge players: they can receive playing advice from their coaches and can possibly bounce ideas off their teammates get they are ultimately trying to win FAN Idol by themselves. As the game progresses, members of each team will meet each other in Elimination Round Sing-Offs. More information about those Sing-offs will be provided as we get nearer to them. Scoring will work in the following manner: Players will send in their song picks for each Round. The judges will receive each song and judge them in two groups : 1 comprised of songs from players not on their team and one composed of songs from their team members. All songs will be anonymous but they will know which songs comprise which group. They will score the songs from the other groups from 12 to 1 (changing as contestants are eliminated), while for their own group, they will not score those songs. Instead they have the option of awarding one song from their group a 3 point bonus. Therefore, much like the Voice each group is largely judged by the judges who are not their mentors. If you have questions about how any of this works, let me know. The scores are cumulative, so keep that in mind. And now that we're talking about scores, let's start earning some points, shall we? Let's announce the theme for Round 2. Round 2's theme is... "In the spring of 1968, Page was at a crossroads. The highly touted session guitar ace was once again a man without a band. He’d spent the prior two years or so playing in the Yardbirds, first as a dual-lead foil to his childhood friend Jeff Beck and then as the group’s focal point when Beck decided to split in the middle of an American tour. After another quick run through the States, the band suddenly and unceremoniously called it a day when the different members of the group decided they wanted to pursue other artistic avenues. Page was understandably disappointed, but he had an idea of how he wanted to proceed." www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/how-led-zeppelin-formed-718697/Starting Out Choose one song that deals with the theme of starting out or new beginningsThere are several ways to fulfill this theme. The song could be about starting a new chapter in life, such as falling in love or starting a new career or going to some place new for a shot at a brighter future, etc. The key is about expressing change, experiencing new beginnings in some fashion. Or maybe, in a darker sense, you wish you could start something new or start over again. Deadline for songs is Tuesday, January 29 at 12am.

Was not expecting that Echo track to be the first overall pick. Interesting.
Are the judges free to post their personal lists?
