YAY! Round 9 has come to an end! Thanks to everyone for getting your votes to me in a timely manner for this round. And thanks to eliminated contestants Bryan, Dan, John, & Kworb for voting! I have your results right here. But first, let's reveal who submitted each of the songs last round:
Song 1 was Gerardo's choice, "Just Missed The Train" by Kelly Clarkson
Song 2 was Joel's choice, "Win Your Heart" by A Perfect Day
Song 3 was Mike's choice, "Singing On The Sidewalk" by Jeremy Fisher
As you all know if you read the other thread, there WAS a three way tie between these songs that needed to be broken before the round could be declared over. So naturally, Round 9 was a close one! Here are the final results:
1. Gerardo - 10 points
2. Joel - 11 points
3. Mike - 12 points
Congratulations go to Gerardo as he BARELY wins this round. First place rankings in Round 9 were fairly spread out among the three contestants. Gerardo received 4 first place rankings. Joel's song was ranked first once...and Mike got 2 first place rankings.
Unfortunately the time has come for Mike to leave the game. After sweeping Round 8, receiving all possible first place rankings, Mike has been eliminated from the game. He came in last place with 12 points this round.
Mike, you're off to join Dan, Bryan, John, Ari, Adam, Kworb, & Jay in the jury house. It'll be up to the eight of you to decide the winner between the Final Two!
Joel & Gerardo... Congratulations for advancing! You have made it to the Final Two! You may now begin sending me your song choices for Round 9. You have until 11:59pm Eastern time next Friday to submit your songs to me before you will incur a penalty of 10 points. Please get them to me as soon as possible.
One last remark to Joel & Gerardo before I open the submission period... At various times throughout Game 3, both of you (in addition to other contestants) have been quite vocal about how everybody always submits "safe" songs or songs that sound alike. Since the two of you are the final two contestants, I hope you'll both take risks with your song choices in this round. In other words... YOU BETTER BRING IT!!!
Good luck!
