Elimination Sing-Off # 7Jazzman vs. Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a b!% hKingOrangeTyger: FAN Contestants, Judges, Audience Members, and assorted hangers-on, please welcome our Guest Host... hold on, let me check my notes here, as this particular Host's name is a bit of a tongue twister... ah yes, Fan-dang-o!!! *catchy Spanish dance music starts to play* KingOrangeTyger: Now, Fan-dang-o, we're happy to- Fandango: That's Fahn...dahn...go... KingOrangeTyger: Yes, yes, Fan-dang-o, FAN Idol Season 8 has had it's share of WWE Supersta- Fandango (interrupting): ...dahn...go, I will not be mocked by one as miserable as you, Mr. Tyger! KingOrangeTyger: Right, my apologies. So... Fahn...dahn...go, I'm glad that such a... musical force such as yourself is here to help us out. It's about time that World Wrestling Entertainment sent us someone who... Fandan-girl starts to dance a bit, which Street Spartan is most impressed with! KingOrangeTyger: Right, she is quite comely and- Street Spartan: Ooh, Tiny Dancer, maybe you can be my Private Dancer if you ditch Mr. Two Left Feet there... Fandango: ....go! KingOrangeTyger: Now, now, please Mr. Spartan, you may ask Miss... Fandangirl? after the Elimination Round songs are presented to, I don't know, walk some Streets with you or whatever you do for fun. Knalsic: Aww! She is a cutie! I was going to ask her out myself, maybe when all this is done, show her my FAN Idol trophy- J: I thought it was a medal. I remember seeing it backstage. Had a big F on it and everything. KingOrangeTyger: Actually, well, we really haven't decided what the winner would get this Season. I mean, I had an artist who- Roxie Dagger: What do you mean you haven't decided what the winner's going to get! Oh C'mon! Watch, it's going to be something lame, like a gold plated Shockmaster mask or a stupid briefcase with a fake title match contract inside. KingOrangeTyger: Actually, we had Hornswoggle show up before the Season began and had a few plaster castings made. You wouldn't believe how much you could bend that little guy! I mean... Fandango starts to dance a bit, jokes are made about his abs and... Sigh, this went on for a while, until the Elimination Round songs were revealed. Good luck gentlemen!

Two Judge's choices in.
Very interesting to see who moves on from this Sing-Off. 19 Rounds in and I have a sense that the Sing-Off will be quite important going forth.
A Past FAN Idol winner and a Runner-Up going at it.
Also, looking for a picture for Z-A was fun. I first thought Sandman but I wanted to do something with Sandbags. I was looking for a LOL cat sand bagging getting lifted or an MMA fighter but couldn't find much. I like that pic though.

A decision has been reached for Elimination Sing-off #7 between Jazzman and Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a b!%h. The decision was not unanimous. Jazzman. Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a b!%h. Please stand forward. Jazzman chose Mingo Fishtrap's Jangle When I Walk while Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a b!%h chose Usher's Yeah, featuring Lil John and Ludacris. This has proven to be a fiercely competitive Season and, no matter which Contestant moves on, we will be saying good bye to someone who has the ability to go all the way to the finals. So without further ado, earning 4 votes out of 6 and thus mathematically clinching the victory, the Contestant moving on to Round 20 is... {Spoiler}{Spoiler} Jazzman! This is twice that you've beaten a formidable opponent in the Sing-Off. Congratulations!
Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a b!%h, I'm sorry, but you will not be Season 8's FAN Idol. However, you played an excellent game and looked unstoppable at times. You are already a FAN Idol and I hope you continue to be a force in future FAN Idol Seasons. Everyone, please give a hand for Z-A!!!

Kinda off topic...is there anyone here I can speak off the record with about some of the music here/getting into new bands? My MP3 player is starting to get a little annoying on what sons play on shuffle and I need some new blood

Bummer. Been a great game though! Congrats Jazzman and good luck to everyone left!
Truth be told, if I was a judge, if have picked his song too. It was awesome and is now a part of my music library!

Thanks man, I love me some Usher... and I'd tell you the reason I went for Mingo Fishtrap is because they are opening for the guy in my avatar at the Rochester International Jazz Festival at the end of June. I'm hyped for that.

We have 5 pairs out of 9 songs for Round 20: Curtain Jerkin’, Mainevent Workin’.
It is sad to see a contestant go, especially when they were doing so well in the last couple of Rounds. However, from a Season standpoint, it makes the game better to see "surprise" eliminations, to see two skilled players go head to head, to have players coming in clutch for the first time late in the game. It's unpredictable now.

Z-A, as per usual, you really brought it. Your music library speaks for itself. The judges save recipient needs to keep bringing it so this elimination is not unfounded. Totally a deserving judges save candidate in Z-A.

We're down to just 9 competitors from a starting group of 17. Even with the larger than usual contestant pool, this Season's been lightning fast.

Ok, while we're waiting for the last contestant to get their songs in, I'm going to reveal Round 21. However, I want to get Round 20's songs to the judges first, so you can send me the songs if you'd like but I'll hold them. Another thing to consider is that you run the risk of sending a song from an artist used in Round 20, so it's a good idea to have back-up songs or to at least consider alternatives. I went to the Judges for ideas, as the use of the Save made it necessary to add on a pair of Rounds. What we decided to use will be quite the challenge for the would-be FAN Idols... So, Round 21's theme, a Round with two categories, is.... It's All About the GamePick 2 songs, 1 each for the following Categories: Swerve: The False FinishPick one song that features a musical false finish. Like wrestling matches, songs can have false finishes that may surprise the listener when they least expect it. Now, in a wrestling match, a false finish occurs when a match appears to be over due to the use of a wrestler's finisher or some sort of rule-breaking like weapon use or outside interference but, through an act of supreme determination, the face kicks out when all hope appeared to be lost. Musically, it would work in the following ways (examples from bands already used in the competition): Contestants must choose a track that either a)begins with a tease, a specific melody, or any noticeably different musical pattern and then dramatically shifts focus away from that no more than one minute into the song. Foo Fighters - "All My Life" -- NOTICE THE EFFECT FROM THE 0:00 MARK TO THE 0:34 MARK www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnVEG_waiqgor b)song comes to a supposed finish or seems to wind down (a "false finish") and then winds back up for a finale EXAMPLE OF B) Florence and the Machine - "Dog Days Are Over" -- IT HAPPENS AT THE 2:16-3:05 MARK (3:05 IS THE FALSE FINISH); THEN THE SONG COMES BACK WITH THE POWERFUL FINALE FROM 3:06-4:13 and Smarks aka How ya doin', Colt Cabana?Pick one song that references "insider knowledge" of the music business. So, songs about touring, the music recording process, record labels, music executives, and the various highs and lows about what it means to be part of "This Business". Please ask me any questions you have. Round 20's winner will have the option of choosing one additional song to send in for the Round 21 category of his or her choice.

I don't know if I would do to good if I was a contestant for Round 21 I'd have to seriously think about what songs I could use.
