Abstaining from the Player Oriented questions, of course.
Name 5 Songs from Various Setlists that you absolutely loved Roxie Daggers- Daredevil- Fiona Apple (Stunning; loved how atonal it felt and Fiona's intensity) Anonymous GM- Parlez-vous Francais?- Art vs. Science (Incredibly catchy) Stinger4Christ- Buddy Rich vs. Animal - "Drum Battle" from The Muppet Show 1978 (tons of fun and unexpected; Muppet mark as well) Sloth Spartan- Happy Things - J Rabbit (Brilliant choice, imo, and a risk for the Round) Canctus Fraggle- Goodbye My Friend- Guido & Maurizio De Angelis (vocals by Susi & Guy) (Powerful track and a great redemption moment)
Name 5 Songs from Various Setlists that you absolutely hated (with due respect) Major Brad- Revolution- Pennywise (lots of other potential choices) Stinger4Christ- Tainted Love- Soft Cell (Soft Cell has other songs; it's a great song but an obvious New Wave pick. I will not criticize what one does to survive, however) Canctus Fraggle- Sometime Around Midnight- The Airborne Toxic Event (Did not live up to the two amazing Elimination Round picks Canctus used earlier) Ssnakebite, the Number One Frenchman- Sweet Transvestite (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) (like Tainted Love, too obvious a pick, especially from such an eccentric contestant who took risk after risk throughout the game) Cageking- Party in The USA- Miley Cyrus (Just too many other potential songs that could've been used)
What was your favorite Tyger typeout Demented's escape and impersonation of Bray Wyatt (Hell, in that universe, maybe he was Bray all a long) because I asked Demented for things he wanted to see and I was able to incorporate them in the write-up (the song that played when he was taken away was the first song he ever chose for FAN Idol), while things like the Wyatt family (who just debuted) and the rubber knife just worked out well. I enjoyed writing the scenes in J.Slim's diner, the few times that it was just the Judges' talking, and the one's where you traveled and did stuff, like when you played video games or looked at art. I loved writing Steiner and Sandow's dialogue.
What was your favorite and least favorite Round? Favorites: The two Lesser used Genre Rounds, as we had the right number of contestants left, the genres worked out well, and I liked hearing different music; The Greatest Hits Round and Roxie vs. fw91 due to the sheer level of competition; The School Subject Round because I think that was the best idea I had; the 8-Fan team Round, as I liked how it was structured and the teams were wonderfully balanced; The Televised music Round was impossible to judge.
Rounds that I didn't like: The Box one was waaaayyy too risky and I still don't know if that was a Round I should've done; I thought the Voice Round was a little flat, considering all the great vocalists that were available
Who did you vote for in the Public Vote? Anon or Roxie? Abstained from voting
Which Contestants hit you the hardest around elimination time? Whether it be for an awesome playlist or because you legit saw them going all the way Roxie, though Anonymous GM f***ing earned that victory, going against such an incredibly good opponent; Moonie and Knalsic both dropping out bummed me out; Z-A was a shock; many contestants seemed like they were eliminated at a fairly good place for them, imo. I contend that Eliminations are vital to this game and there were contestants that seemed to leave at the right time. The final five or so were an incredibly gifted group and any of them could have won, so I was happy with who survived and when. That's not to disparage the other contestants but that's how the Season worked out.
Which contestants at one point or another did you see winning the game: Roxie because of how dominant she was; Stinger4Christ because he was quietly getting near the top and looking very strong throughout most of the game; Z-A was on a streak at one point; I thought Knalisic could've gone all the way because he kept battling back after getting into trouble.
And Finally Would You Be Interested in Fan Idol 9: Untitled Subtitle? Oh you have no idea. After judging and then Hosting, I'm definitely up for it. I know so much more music now and have a much better picture of what I'd want to do. I'm not saying I'd win or even go far, because you people are so incredibly good at this but I think I could make a good showing for myself. The Scavenger Hunt, however, I think I have a great shot at that because of my interests. There are a ton of songs and artists I want to use.

Name 1 Song from Your Set List that you love, even if the judges didn't:New by No Doubt. I thought this song would do pretty well when I picked it. Boy was I ever wrong Name 1 Song from Your Set List that you regret, even if the judges loved:
Clarity by Zedd feat. Foxes As much as I love this song it probably wasn't the best choice for and elimination round. Name 5 Songs from Various Setlists that you absolutely loved:
Disarm by The Smashing Pumpkins My favorite song from my favorite album by one of my favorite bands. I really marked out when I saw this song on a playlist. Bottom of the River by Delta Rae This one really knocked me on my ass, especially the vocals. I fell in love with this song instantly. The Descent by Bob Mould A fantastic unexpected pick. An amazing live performance. Torn by Natalie Imbruglia One thing that no one knows about me is that I have a soft spot for Natalie Imbruglia. I've even got all of her albums Panic Switch by Silversun Pickups This song just kicks so much ass. It really is a toss up as to which Silversun Pickups song that was used that I liked better. Name 5 SOngs from Various Setlists that you absolutely hated:
Party In The U.S.A. by Miley Cyrus (Sorry Cage) High School Never Ends by Bowling for Soup Hangin Tough by New Kids on the Block Be My Yoko Ono by The Barenaked Ladies A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold What was your favorite Tyger typeout:There was so much great stuff in all of the write ups this season that It's hard to pick out one thing that was better than any other. I will say that I was pretty fond of everything that had to do with Jackrabbit Slims. I also appreciated that fact that after I was eliminated that I became a music producer. What was your favorite and least favorite Round?My favorite rounds were the Island of Misfit Genres rounds My least favorite round was Moving Pictures or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Fan Idol: In which I got sent to the sing off and Cantus Fraggle took my lunch money. Who did you vote for in the Public Vote? Anon or Roxie?As a judge I abstained from the public vote. And finally the 3 hardest questions at least in my eyes
Which Contestants hit you the hardest around elimination time? Whether it be for an awesome playlist or because you legit saw them going all the wayOf the FAN Idol's I have been apart of so far I thought this one was the most wide open. I thought that any one of the players could have won this thing. Which contestants at one point or another did you see as a threat in the game?When it comes to this type of game I don't really think of the other contestant as "threats". Would You Be Interested in Fan Idol 9: Untitled Subtitle?I'm ready for it to start tomorrow!!

I like No Doubt and I received the Go Soundtrack, so I liked seeing it appear for that Round.
Had J not become a judge, I would've had him do more music production stuff. Of course, he would have to constantly deal with big egos and there probably would've been a "Needs more Cowbell" spoof at some point.

Complete with him holding up the gold record for my remix of "Hunka Hunka Honky Love"? Sidenote. I take it you've seen the Death documentary? Such an awesome story. I was lucky enough that it actually came to a movie theater here.

Sadly, no. Would like to at some point. Well you need to get on that sir! Indeed. I would share some music from them but then I'd be worried that someone would steal them. Oh, alright, can't be greedy: This was in 1975 and, oh, they were (are) three brothers from Detroit who, showing how inclusive punk music could be, looked like this:

I'll try to go through and respond to all the prompts later, but I would be up for Round 9, either as a contestant or judge.

Knalsic, I'd put the two Television songs higher, imo. I liked every song I used and I had a hard time ranking them and looking back I feel a few songs are too low like both Television songs but imo they're behind GREAT songs.

I do think that the Television songs came out of left field and I rather like that. Not songs I'd expect.

Gosh, this was a fun thing to do. I always thought I was predictable when playing this, though. And some people hinted me that during the game. (with respect of course). Lucky, I've expanded my musical taste so much since I dropped out. Hopefully, I get to play this again when it comes back up.

Lucky, I've expanded my musical taste so much since I dropped out. Hopefully, I get to play this again when it comes back up. It's also the sampling size of songs. It would've been interesting to see you play some of the later Rounds, with the different genres and requirements. Predictability isn't necessarily a bad thing because it helps forge you an identity and then, when you have to play against type, it is quite intriguing. I think you and Knalsic would've matched up well. As for the next Season, I'm sure there will be plenty of spots. Good amount of people have already expressed interesting in playing.
