See, I actually thought of it as a rather cowardly move, since I was so afraid of getting another comment from furrypedro about my fake sounds: I limited myself to only real acoustic instruments. My bass, drums, and keyboards are all fake, so...

Thank you for the kind words, though.

Jon Eric - I like this sonnet. I like the simplicity. Nice closing couplet.

Hey, don't you wuss out on me. Bring it on. I know I can take it.

NUR EIN!!!!

ok, here's what I wrote

"Jon Eric - I like the simplicity of it, but I’m not sure if all the roughness is intentional. The second quatrain feels a little long - but it moves a bit after that. Good closing couplet. " All in all I guess I thought the arrangement didn't quite develop enough to support it. I also went back and forth on whether I thought lyrics were a bit too...literal? heavy handed? not sure what the right adjective is - but I like the sentiment and thought it was very self consistent.

It's minutes to midnight and it looks like a carbon copy of last round where one judge is gonna be late. So, don't wait up people because I'm going to sleep.

Niveous: name and shame, dude.

Just posted my lyrics. Sorry, didn't know that was there.
You guys are amazing! What a great bunch of tunes. I am absolutely honored to be in such fine company.
Frankie, your tune is blowing me away. It's funny how the only time we dig people who steal from the ones we love is when they do it so beautifully.

Thanks for the head's up. Good night all.

Haha, I've never had this much influence over anyone's songwriting before

Does this mean we can have Memorial Day to finish our next round of songs (assuming we make it to the next round)? Pretty please?

I agree with Frankie, the important info we are all so anxiously waiting for is almost 12 hrs over due.
That being said, I am aware that in no way should I expect an extension.
But pretty please... with sugar on top? (That is of course if we make it to the next round).

Aaaaaaaggggghhhhhh!

I've been trying not to whine, but...

...What he said.

Well, clearly there will be an extension as we still await our missing judge's appearance.

Oh, I hope I didn't come off as whining. Just rapt with anticipation is all.

Thanks, Niv. Have you heard anything at all from the missing judge? I hope he's alright...

We have heard nothing since the last round of scores. I've searched 3 years of emails looking for his phone number. Used a reverse phone directory to get a land line number that was answered with a FAX machine. Once upon a time i had his number, I can't find it. I've very sorry to all the contestants, I've been there. Frankly I'm as excited and anxious about the ultimate results too.

This was an excellent round, it's a shame anyone will get cut.

i hope there isn't a family crisis or something like that. did you try his myspace? personally i'm not that eager to find out i've been cut...

I reached him through his cousin.
Check back in an hour people.

Excellent sleuth work, glenny! We all appreciate it. Everything's ok, I take it?

hey glennny, when do you think the vids from the new york show will be on youtube?

Ouch.

Dang, sorry to see you go, Jon, Nouveau Pauvre, Paco and Signboy. As a wise man once said, Nur Ein is cold and unforgiving.

Sorry for the crude post, usually Niv takes care of that, I'll pretty it up later. I thought you'd all appreciate the results ASAP.
