Just a question about the Final Round. The previous two games have put the "judges' selection" picks along with the picks you choose on your own *in any order.* Here, you say the "first three songs" must be the judges' selection picks. Does this mean you want Cyndi Lauper going up against ... herself? And REM against REM, etc? So, when you asked us to pick an artist for the contestants, you're just wanting them to see which song of the two is the best by that particular artist? Not sure I get that. ORRRR, are you saying they can mix and match the artists of the judges' choice in any order, as long as they are the first three songs listed? So REM vs. Blues Traveller is possible, or Blues Traveller vs. Cyndi? Just looking for a little clarification because the previous games have been a "pick your poison" type of setup where strategy of placements in your lineup were kinda important. It's your call, but I kinda like the randomness of 7 songs in random order. Just needed clarification, I guess. I should've clarified. The wildcard picks will be squared of against each other, first song vs. first song, etc. The judges' choice songs will be pitted against each other; Lauper vs. Lauper, REM vs REM, Blues Traveler vs. Blues Traveler.

I will post my own insights, on why I picked the songs I used for this competition a little later; GDR style like I promised. (When I'm not tired/sleepy or busy) Btw. Stryker vs Sawyer, for the Finale.! I couldn't ask for a better competitor for this final showdown. You Rock. *Reserved for Later* I've sent my choices for the round in, I made my 'Stryker choice' for the round, but I do have a feeling my run of good form is out, my choices might not sit well with the judges. Anyhow, I wanted to echo Sawyer's comments right back at her

Jeeeeeez..... Veronica....fancy using pugil sticks instead? *Looks up Pugil Sticks* LETS GO! (If Idol ended each season like that, it would be the manliest Primetime Reality Show ever.) I will post my own insights, on why I picked the songs I used for this competition a little later; GDR style like I promised. (When I'm not tired/sleepy or busy) Btw. Stryker vs Sawyer, for the Finale.! I couldn't ask for a better competitor for this final showdown. You Rock. *Reserved for Later* I've sent my choices for the round in, I made my 'Stryker choice' for the round, but I do have a feeling my run of good form is out, my choices might not sit well with the judges. Anyhow, I wanted to echo Sawyer's comments right back at her Gentle-sir, you have some kick-awesome song picks this competition. What a way to go, after Season#1's Belarus singer, with the scary music video. I don't know how this'll go, I have paranoid premonitions, and see me being Baldy Kendrick'd. (So yeah we're both being paranoid and losing confidence against a fierce Warrior of Music intellect.) It's just seeing the past several rounds, 2nd to you Stryker, by one point each, makes me think it could be a clean sweep with that pattern, or else, I lose majorly instead. Eeeck. I'm thinking negatively again. SENT! === Since we're on this page already, I'll put my selection reasons here: {Spoiler} Cody ChestnuTT's - "Look Good In Leather" (Songs Ft. In Commercials) Cody (Not Joey) ChestnuTT was an easy pick for me. I was wanting to use his song, "Look Good in Leather" for a long time ever since WC Idol 2. Once I saw the first round theme, there was no hesitation. I sent the pick in immediately. The catchy/funky-ness of the jam was addicting for me when I listened, and kept listening to this fun little ditty. I picked it, because it was imo a very unique and interesting song choice. As said already it was a bit of a "theme song" of sorts for one, to strut down the street with. I was quite satisfied myself, when I saw that the judges too liked it enough, for it to earn the top score of the round. Not to mention it actually got the top score from one judge in, Jazzman, who I grew to figure had alot of music taste in common with myself, aside from a few bands here and there. Blues Brothers - "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" (Fictional Artists) This one of the more difficult rounds for me actually. And believe it or not, I thought there were more obvious choices than the Blues Brothers, but I was wrong. Some of those other artist weren't even chosen! Not gonna say who, just incase people want to use those artists. Anyway I liked this Blues Bros song, so I chose it over some nostalgia based picks. Khia - "My Neck, My Back (Lick It)" (Worst Song Ever) Difficult round, because I tend to erase bad songs from memory. I looked over my brother's song list, and found this horrible, abomination of a 'sexy' song. Nasty just Nasty, Horrible lyrics. I hope if the bad songs get featured on our Final Two's cumulative song picks of the competition, that these songs get labeled correctly that we didn't pick them, cause we liked them. (You Know for the Lurkers out there who might vote ) Michiko Naruke - "Ocarina of Time Medley" (Instrumentals) This was another of the harder rounds for me. Good thing all the hard rounds came at the beginning instead of the end, or surly I would have been gone already. I picked this music, cause it was a unique video game tune I thought. Plus I figured Wrestlecrap liked Video Game music. Shame on me for stereotyping. This actually was my lowest scoring choice of the competition. But hey I'm still pretty happy with this one. In fact I've had no regrets at all this entire competition. It was dejavu, a bit for me, because this was the exact spot last competition, where I feel from the #1 rank, after three weeks. Oh and this was my original pick for this round, before I changed it to OoT Medley: {Spoiler}Mika - "Grace Kelly" (Songs from 2000+)
This fit my jibe of songs I'd pick. Those that are not so obvious and are quite interesting. Yes there was actually other Mika songs I had in mind before this one. But I picked this one, because it was the most known and popular of his songs to people. And I wanted to get back to where I was near the top of the rankings. Widow's Peak said it best: "One of the Best Pop songs in recent memory."
Blink 182 - What's my Age again (Short Songs)
I really like Alternative/Punk Rock Music. This was a simple choice, no deep thinking behind it. Pick a great song I like and send it in, hoping for the best.
Prince - "Purple Rain" (Long Songs)
This I think was the turning point for me, with having better success for the remainder of the game. It was evident, when the judge (Widow's Peak) who normally dislikes my song picks, rated it as her #1. Absolutely stunning song, that I just had to use for this competition. Everything about it was perfect. Performance, Vocals, "Artistry," Audience reaction, instrumentals. It rounded together into a simple masterpiece for the ears. There were two other songs I had in mind here. (American Pie & ? TBA, but not the long version)
Metallica - "Enter Sandman" (Use an Artists already use)
I was gonna choose a different Mika song, to see if it would have done better. But I thought to myself, that it just wasn't "How I play" to use an artist I already used myself in the competition already. So I narrowed it down to Metallica and Greenday. But I saw Jazzman said he disliked Greenday, so I picked Metallica, and being this is a wrestling forum, I picked "Enter Sandman" a song that even if you don't like Metallica, you might like this song. In the end Jazzman post selection didn't like this pick so much. Quite surprised how well it did with Pegasus, after Peg already voice dislike of them, post selection. Yes, I'm not a big Metallica fan either. But I love this song of theirs.
Kenny Loggins & Jim Messina - "Danny's Song" (Love Songs)
This was a easy, yet difficult round. Easy, cause there was many songs to choose from. Difficult, because I couldn't decide which ones to use! I went with Danny's song, because I thought this old peaceful classic, was a great take on a love song. It was a love song for the family, which was quite nice. Just the whole aura of that folk-esque performance was lovely. It was either this version or Anne Murray's Beautiful Version. I decided to use the Loggin's Original, but it was very close. One of Anne Murray's Versions I would have used: {Spoiler} Chrissie Hynde & the Pretenders - I'll Stand By You (Love Songs) It's funny Jazzman would have mentioned it, but I picked this song, because I thought it wasn't an obvious choice. Chrissie Hynde is a great woman of music (Go see Widow's Peak's Polls btw). Being one of the woman of alt-rock music. A love song from her I felt was different from the other music from woman like, Whitney Houston, Celine Dione, or many of the popular woman of 80's music. The song was written by Chrissie, for her son who I believe went into the military. Yet the lyrics could be love in many different ways, which was what was so great about it. Parent to Child, Siblings, Friends, Lover. It justs the perfect song for when someone you care about needs help, you don't know what to do for them exactly, yet you want them to know you are always there for them. *Sigh* great song. Love Chrissie Hynde & the Pretenders. The Verve Pipe - "The Freshmen" (Live TV) Remember the Jenny McCarthy show? Neither did I, until I looked up live performances for this song. I was like: "Oh yeah, I remember that Show, and I remember this performance!" The Verve Pipe are great to see in live performances. The lead singer really puts his all into it. The camera angles, lighting, everything was perfect for this live performance, of an already superb song. KT Tunstall - "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" (Live TV) Did anyone guess that I picked this song? Remember The Pretender's video link? Remember KT Tunstall cameo-ing in that to introduce Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders? Yes, there was a hint there when I chose this performance. The musicianship and Performance skills of KT Tunstall in this particular song (Her Breakthrough performance which got her known as a musician) was a thing of beauty. All by herself, this one small 'girl' could make this much sound. It was just incredible. The setup for her to form the song/backing everything on the spot in live action is simply magic. The Doors - "Light My Fire" (Old Music) Well there was alot to choose from here. I picked this one, to prevent others from choosing it. A great psychadelic rock song, that just captures the alternative style side of the era. Definitely would have proven to be a difficult one to overcome if a rival picked it. Michael Franti - "Say Hey" (New Music) Great fun song. Like Jazzman, I love it, love it, love it. I chose this softer solo version, to prove that Michael Franti can do it on his own, instead of hiding behind the rest of the band, or studio fixing. The man is extremely charismatic and can work a crowd into the palm of his hands. Have you ever heard this song acoustic and slow before, in a love song kind of way? It has a totally different effect, and it's great too. If you are someone who plays around with instruments and loves music, just covering songs on your free time for fun. Try it that way. Change things up, from it's original composition, for any song, if it works correctly. The music lover in me loves this. Puff Daddy feat. Faith Evans & Sting - "I'll Be Missing You" (Borrowed) Hmm. This scored pretty decently. But to be honest, now that I think of it. There were many other picks I had on the side I could have picked instead (I noticed this later). I picked this, because I remember it from when I was younger. This performance just captured me. As a kid, I actually knew this song, before the original by Sting and The Police. Ray Charles - "Georgia On My Mind" (Blues) Wow I loved this theme. There was so many songs I had for this theme. Sooo many. In the end I decided to go slow with my Blues Pick. A Lovely, Calm Song it was. And Ha, I was thinking of choosing some Blues songs for the Finale. But with the rules and everything. I'm waiting to see of the approvals of my own Finale Song List first, to see if I will be able to pick some of those Blues. I can't comment any more specifically or I'll spoil things. Don Mclean - "American Pie" (Free Choice) Well this was an easy pick. I was waiting to use this epic choice for many many rounds. There were different versions to pick from, but I decided to go with the one I picked, and am happy with it. Pegasus was as well I see! This is one of the songs, that if someone is asked, what are the greatest songs ever written? this might be in the first 3 mentioned. Just a great, building and effective song. Love the heart, soul, emotion, build, just everything about this song. It's just wonderful. Michelle Featherstone - "Coffee and Cigarettes" (Free Choice) Ah Yes. I was gonna take some risks this round. This is quite the obscure song choice, if you noticed, by a great indie artist. I really, really, love acoustic, or solo music. The kind of music with out all the fancy backing is what captures me alot. With just the artist and the instrument. It just gives that intimate feeling, that you are about to hear something great and meaningful. You know, that singer/songwriter vibe? Which is why I was disheartened to miss that category on the last competition. It's funny, the singer/songwriter type music was what got me eliminated last competition, and has helped me this competition. I was REALLY Surprised, how well received this song was by the judges. Add on that it got "The Pimp Spot" and the highest score of the night. It made me smile. Canoe Club - "Just Along for the Ride" (Free Choice) Well the one we were all been waiting for. Why SR? Why did you choose this? Lol. Well for one I was gonna take huge risks this round, because I was happy already making it 3rd. I thought, what the heck for my two last songs here. Plus I felt quite comfortable that "American Pie" was gonna help cushion me a bit, and the side chance "Coffee & Cigarettes" might help too. This choice, by Singer Sistah Robi Kahakalau was the one that I felt was most risky. But I wasn't gonna back off. Here in Hawaii, the musicians here have created a whole new genre. Modern Hawaiian music, is mixed with influenced, of Reggae, traditional Hawaiian music, Singer/songwriter types, Country music, folk music, music from around the pacific, popular music, traditional music, all sorts you can name, with the addition of a key instrument in the ukulele. Just like Hawaii, this popular genre here focused in Hawaii, is a mixing pot of different kinds of music, which produces "The Island Sound." Living and growing up in Hawaii has led me to love this kind of music. Many others here (Hawaii) would, agree, since most musician based out of Hawaii make this kind of music. Sure it's never main stream, and in mostly for the islands. Very few can get known outside of Hawaii. Probably the best known being: Israel "Iz" Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole, and his cover of "Over The Rainbow/Wonderful World". It is calm peaceful music, some fun, some lovely, that I really love. I do think it might be a culture thing, in whether one is meant to like this kind of music or not. Really depends on the taste, but the culture just puts it over, like how Country music is much more popular in the South. Maybe if I didn't grow up here I wouldn't like this that much either. But the fact is I do like it. The Ukulele, the beat, pleasant-ness. Just my kind of thing. Perfect for the "Homecoming" That the top three gets to have on the real American Idol Show. I'm surprised that Jazzman really liked this song though. Thanks Jazzman for saving this song. I love you for that, since this out of all the songs I picked, is probably the sentimental one for me in this competition. Sad to see Peg, seem to be disappointed by this pick, but Widow might be right here. It's lovely, but perhaps too light-weight at the position now. Maybe if it were an earlier round, it could have done better. I knew I liked it, and free choice, meant I could finally use it. I was just very curious to see how the local music would be received by others. === Blues Traveler - "?"(To Come!) Cyndi Lauper - "?"(To Come! I had something else in mind too, which I think I alluded to elsewhere.) R.E.M - "?"Well My original pick was taken already, so Stryker, good choice there! I think you might win this category, but I'll hope my choice can do it. (To Come!) (4 other selections To Come!)

Wow, looking through your picks Veronica, you had an UNBELIEVABLE hot streak in the middle rounds from my perspective. From Blink to The Pretenders you chose some of my favourite artists and songs. The rest of your picks aren't as known to me, but they're all really good stuff too ;D (except for KT Tunstall who I'm just not a fan off) Oh and TBK... Can I register my application to be a judge in the next game early this time?

Actually, Stryker, I think you and THE Baldy Kendrick should be judges in the next game since TBK didn't judge in this game (still not sure why). I think Veronica Sawyer would make a good host for Season 4 (which, of course, means that's a third judge as well).
Or, THE Baldy Kendrick could play since he's probably one of the favorites to capture his first WC Idol crown after coming up just shy the first time.
I almost forgot about this guy since he took a hiatus in this edition of the game, but Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a ____ has shown quite a variety in his runs and was probably one of the next ones in line to judge for this particular season. Season 4 would surely benefit from this guy as a judge.
EDIT: Oh, and I didn't mean to no-sell a previous post. I enjoyed reading the Sudden Rush post about her picks. It's part of what makes the game really fun.
By the way, I didn't really mean to come across as "trashing" Canoe Club. I was just thinking it was a "homer" pick for Semi-Final round and mucho risky against what I expected to be 9 real "World Heavyweight Champion" quality songs in that list. It was like Matt Sydal/Evan Bourne entering a 9-way dance for the title. Sure, it's a nice thought and no one really DISlikes it, but I think we all know how it's going to end.

well, if the judge spots fill up, i'll gladly try to improve on my fifth place finish. oh, and since rush was kind enough to copy my idea ( ), i might as well explain myself for the last time: "American Saturday Night" by Brad Paisley: I realize that country isn't exactly the favorite choice of most Crappers, and to be honest, I prefer rock over country any day, but I always make an exception in regards to good singers like Brad Paisley. This was the best live Paisley I could find that would meet the requirements. I wouldn't take this back, although there were many other good Paisley songs I could have used. "Back To Tennessee" by Billy Ray Cyrus: This song will haunt me until I win WC Idol. I had wanted to use Tim McGraw for my second pick, but I simply could not find a satisfactory video, so I made the fatal mistake of picking Billy Ray. In retrospect, there were plenty of songs I could have chosen, but I simply did not think hard enough. In fact, to be honest, I felt safe as soon as I saw some of the picks. Many were obscure, and some I have heard and did not like. My feelings of safety were obviously premature.

After a few minutes of deliberation, I decided I’d add a little feature while we’re waiting for the picks to come in and get judged. As we’re wrapping up our third season of WC Idol, I thought I’d do a rundown of my Top 10 mark-out moments for choices in the past three seasons. The songs in this Top 10 either fall under the umbrella of legitimate marking out due to being such a fan of the songs already, or songs that I just didn’t see coming that I would have never thought to choose myself. However you quantify it, these songs really made an impact in the respective rounds they were featured. There may be songs that are “better” in terms of overall quality, musicianship, or whatever; but as fellow wrestling fans, you surely know a good “mark-out” moment when you feel it, right? 10. {Spoiler}“Dies Irae” – Giuseppe Verdi (Ssnakebite) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDFFHaz9GsYIn the second WC Idol installment, the Finals got off to a crazy start when this little number popped onto the scene. I know, I know, some of you could probably care less about this “old stuff.” My love of “classical” music goes really really deep though, and this is one that ranks really high as one of my favorites on a pretty thick list of classics. Completely unexpected from my opponent in the Finals, and I was shaking a bit since I love this piece so much. I never saw it coming. 9. {Spoiler}“We Didn’t Start the Flame War” (Z-A Sandbaggin’ Son of a B!%&h) www.collegehumor.com/video:1907543 (language) This is the funniest song on the interwebz as far as I can tell. It was uncorked during the Parody Round of WC Idol II, and as soon as I saw it, I was thinking that it had better earn first place votes or I’d riot. This song is so great because it’s so true. 8. {Spoiler}“Cymbal Rush” – Thom Yorke (Evil Double H) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4hZt--0YnoSure, as a judge, the guy has revealed he hates a lot more music than he actually likes (I kid, I kid), but in terms of pulling a rabbit out of his hat in this season’s edition of WC Idol, this was a hit. Featured in the “live on TV” round of this game, this was one of the reasons I found that particular round as a whole to be one of the best we’ve had in the game thus far. Oh, and I had it judged as THIRD! What a round. 7. {Spoiler}“Buster Voodoo” – Rodrigo y Gabriela (Strykerdarksilence) www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJKsk3tOPPUIf you can’t watch this video and mark-out, then you lack that particular gene altogether. In the tradition of the great “live on TV” round, Rodrigo and Gabriela make the top 10 mark-out moments with this rendition of musical delight that I never expected to see referenced in this game. I love this duo, and to see someone else in the game as a fan made me happy. 6. {Spoiler}“Black Horse and a Cherry Tree” – KT Tunstall (Sudden Rush Sawyer) www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYEU91d8ngcWhat can I say? At one point, I was second-guessing some of the previous rounds, so to complete the trifecta of a terrific “live on TV” round of WC Idol III was this gem, which took the game to a whole new level. Yes, we’ve all heard the song, but the first time I’d seen KT Tunstall when she came out was live (and more than once). Knowing this is the only way to fully appreciate this artist, I instantly marked. Caught me offguard, and that’s a good thing. 5. {Spoiler}“D.A.N.C.E.” – Justice (Michael Hayden) www.youtube.com/watch?v=49esza4eiK4Where did this come from? Out of nowhere, it seemed, that’s where. This was the first track of its type to make the scene in WC Idol II and it was perfectly timed for effectiveness purposes. I don’t think any of the other contestants or judges could say a negative thing about this selection. Timing of the selection AND “the groove” of the song worked wonders for this one. 4. {Spoiler}“Missionary Man” – The Eurythmics (smokinvokoun) www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-Q3cp3cp88&ob=av2eEarly in first WC Idol season, this unexpected bombshell was dropped. I’m still smiling from the impact it had so long ago. I loved it, and it’s the original “wow, THAT’s how you play this freaking game” effect on me. Original, unique to the song’s chooser, and unexpected in the grand scheme of song selections for the particular round it was chosen. This song is AWESOME! (Yet not so obvious.) 3. {Spoiler}“Stay (I Missed You)” – Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories (Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a B*#%h) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka9mCmx9JhsOk, so it hit #1 back in its day. But in the “Women of Music” round from Season One, this pick sailed to the number 1 spot regardless of previous popularity and just smashed people’s faces as far as I’m concerned. This is one of the all-time greats, and I’m not hesitant when I say that. There were a lot of choices that could have been made, but Lisa Loeb can hold her own, that’s for sure. 2. {Spoiler}“Because the Night” – 10,000 Maniacs (Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a B*#%h) www.youtube.com/watch?v=H14R4ZsMM0EI’ve always said this was the best MTV Unplugged and one of the Top 10 albums I’ve ever heard bar none. (In fact, when people ask what my favorite album of all-time is, I usually respond to that absolutely impossible question with “10,000 Maniacs Unplugged.”) In the “remake/cover” round of WC Idol 1, this was stellar. There are so many obvious choices, yet people forget this was a cover—a cover that blows the doors off the original or any other version. This year’s Lilith Fair closed with “Because the Night” performed by all of the artists featured throughout the festival day, and I marked just as hard then as I did when this song was picked. Yep, the same guy picked this one in the same edition of WC Idol as my number 3 pick in the Top 10 Markout Moments of the game. Three songs in my Top 10 Markout Moments: how did he not win the whole thing? Good question—two bad decisions in back-to-back games ended up eliminating him in WC Idol I and II when he otherwise had a good shot to take the entire competition down. 1. {Spoiler}“It’s Oh, So Quiet” – Bjork (Widow’s Peak) www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEC4nZ-yga8&feature=fvstOk, this one had it all. I would have NEVER guessed this song being chosen. It’s a great song. It’s HIGHLY unique. It’s a terrific music video. It’s in a class all by itself. Bjork isn’t the kind of act you can duplicate. It was the clear cut definition of how to play the game in terms of matching complete originality with sheer awesomeness. I think I made it quite clear how this song set the bar of the entire game really high from the time it was first popped on us.

As I mull over my final selections as you two very worthy adversaries go at, here are my thoughts on round 12.
1) The Ballad of Kitty Jay: I've never heard of Seth Lakemen before, but I can't wait to hear what we has next. The key for me putting this tops was that it reminded me of a numerous amount of artists I like, chief among them Alexander Rybak. This is more driving that Rybak, but combine a fiddle/violin/viola with great lyrics and I'll be listening no matter what.
2) Coffee and Cigarettes: Is it interesting that this is that high compared to other things? Perhaps, but this song gives off the vibe I'm chilling in a nice coffee house/cafe and we got a pianist preforming. A solid choice.
3) Just Along For The Ride: The islands of Hawaii unite!! I'm really getting into the music of the 50th state. While Iz might have been the big name back then, it's Jake Shimabukuro right now for me. He is fantastic and I love this style of music. Canoe Club shows a great vibe for just laid back cruising. I feel like I'm floating on top of the rhythm. A top three for sure.
4) Riverboat Song: Give me that funk riff of the top to anything and I'll mark out. A solid choice for me.
5) American Pie: A true classic, but I'm not one of those people who consider it one of the greatest songs ever written. It's a classic for sure, but not a home run for me.
6) If You Wear That Velvet Dress: Big Band and U2... two great tastes that for me... don't play well together. I'm not a huge U2 fan and while I love big band sound, there comes a time when it might be a gimmick. This is that time. There seems nothing pure about this performance.
7) There and Back Again: I don't mind Daughtry at all and I like going for an AI star in a WC Idol competition. But it just doesn't stack up.
8) Pain: Again, not a huge fan of Three Days Grace and it doesn't stack up with the rest of the songs in this round.
9) Let's Get Retarded: The less said about this song, the better. I hate it, The Black Eyed Peas, and everything about this. Bottom of my list for sure.

So REM wasn't my first choice, but I'm not sure my first choice would have gone over all that well. Best of luck to both of you.

Also, I must sadly announce that I have discovered something that needs confirmation. Until confirmation has been received, I must withhold from posting the results.
I apologize for this delay.

Strykerdarksilence, Sudden Rush... We have confirmation. If you would like, I will post the original post (with all the build-up and judge's comments) tomorrow, but I've kept you two in suspense long enough. One of you will join Widow's Peak and Pegasuswarrior in the annals of history. The other... well, you'll get to join me on the list of great competitors who fell just short. The last few rounds saw the two of you By a score of 5-2, the winner of this round, and new WrestleCrap Idol is... {Spoiler}SUDDEN RUSH!!!
Congratulations to both of you for an amazingly well-played game, especially the final round. I tip my hat to both of you! The reason for the delay in results might be apparent below in the results screen. {Spoiler} The issue was that unfortunately, we had only one person participate in the public vote. That person voted for Sudden Rush in all seven rounds. The reason I didn't catch it is because of my method for judging this round; Since I had knowledge of who submitted which songs, once I sent the songs out to the judges, I waited a few days without opening the file so I would forget who picked which song. That way, I could judge them without bias. I didn't fill out the spreadsheet until I began writing up the results, and that's when I realized the issue. After discussing it with him, I am satisfied that he had no knowledge of which competitor submitted which song. At that point, I decided that the results are valid. At this time, I would like to thank Jazzman, Widow's Peak and Pegasuswarrior for their amazing hard work. This game, like Kelly Clarkson's life, would suck without you. Thank you. I would also like to thank all of the players who made this, in my opinion, the best season ever. You guys are, like LL Cool J said, the greatest of all time. And with that, we close the book on Season 3. Thank you, and good night. Errr, morning.
