Matt, your regular competition song this week was Song 4, “Bleeding Love” by Jesse McCartney. For those who don’t know, he wrote that song for Leona Lewis (although I didn’t know he had his own version as well, so thanks Matt for making me learn something! ). Your theme song was Song 2, “From This Moment On” by Shania Twain. Last week was your first appearance in the bottom 3 during this year’s game. Will this week be a repeat, or were you able to come back Tina Turner style? Matt, I’m sorry… but you’re not living like a runaway, you’re still in wicked wonderland. You are in the bottom 3 this week.
Julian, your regular competition song was Song 5, “Freeze” by Jordin Sparks. Your theme song was Song 9, “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt. You are the only contestant remaining who has yet to be in the bottom three. Will your hot streak continue, or has the fire burned out? Julian, I’m sorry… but you’re still burning! You’re safe this week! AND on top of that, both of your songs each received one first place ranking. Congrats brotha!
Cody, your regular competition song was Song 10, “11:11” by Arkells. Your theme song was Song 8, “In Repair” by Our Lady Peace. These last two weeks haven’t been so kind to you. You have been able to avoid the bottom 3 up until that point. Are you going to be in the bottom 3 for a third week in a row, or are you gonna be black in black like The Murderers? Cody, I’m sorry, but you are joining Matt in the bottom 3 this week. However, there IS something to be happy about – “11:11” got one first place ranking!
And now, it’s time for a shocking TWIST. Some of you may have been annoyed by me this week on Skype or Facebook chat about how awesome Song 7 is. Well guys… Bryan, your competition song this week was Song 7, “Love Too Good” by Jefferson Starship. *everyone gasps in shock* I did not make Bryan submit that I swear, in fact, I was going to submit a Jefferson Starship song initially until Bryan sent in his submission so I decided to change mine, although then again, two Grace songs is better than one! The good news Bryan is that you received one first place ranking for that song (I wonder from who? ), the bad news is that the rest of you HATERS didn’t see it’s perfection and flawlessness and therefore landed Bryan in the bottom three with Matt and Cody. Oh yeah, you also had a theme song – it was Song 1, “When I’m Gone” by 3 Doors Down.
After Bryan submitted his song submissions to me, I figured two could play that game. So, having said that, Jessica, STILL sounding like an idiot by speaking in the third person, your competition song was Song 6, “Here With Me” by Michelle Branch. Your theme song this week was Song 3, “One Headlight” by The Wallflowers. Not only am I safe, but “One Headlight” and “Don’t Speak” were both tied as top song of the week with 33 points. However, “One Headlight” had two first place rankings and “Don’t Speak” had one, therefore for the first time in several years, I GET THE TOP SONG OF THE WEEK! Thanks brothas Where’s the dancing banana when you need it?!
Before we begin the Elimination Round, I will ask that ALL of you submit your songs for next week to me...even Cody, Bryan, and Matt. The three of you will also need to submit new Elimination songs, since the one you submitted previously will now be used. Your song submissions are due by 11:59pm EST on Wednesday, January 14th. If you don't submit your song to me by the deadline, you'll be automatically eliminated from the Song Contest. And this week we will be back to our regular competition songs only, no ~shocking~ plot twists and no Grace songs submitted by other people (maybe ).
Now, here are the three songs submitted for this week's Elimination Round:
Song 1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=neVuLCWzPfo
Song 2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLpormw_2l4
Song 3: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBaGA3A8bps
- As participants in this week's Elimination Round, Cody, Matt, and Bryan will not be permitted to vote. If they do vote, they will have 3 votes deducted from their song's total votes.
- As with the main rounds of the Song Contest, no one is allowed to reveal the identities of the songs or who submitted each song.
- At the end of voting 11:59pm EST on Wednesday, January 14th, the participants whose song has the most votes will move on to Week 9. The participant with the least amount of votes will be eliminated.
- The songs for Round 9 of the M4BCC Song Contest will be posted at the end of the Elimination Round.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or angry rants, feel free to post them here or PM me. Okay, maybe not so much the angry rants part, but you get the picture.
Good luck to our 3 participants this week!
