[trebor]

Bleh! It's rigged, it's rigged...
Next time I'm definitely going to be a judge!
Good luck guys!

[cheapthrills]

A song from a musical that didn’t get me eliminated from this competition for once. Colour me shook.

It's so different for you when I'm not a judge

[Spartan]

It's so different for you when I'm not a judge

The song is from Hamilton so I’m sure you’d approve.

[Spartan]

oh yes, didn't see that at first
+ we're goin' to submit two songs each

[JSparksFan]

The scores were preciously close this round!

[Wayne]

Clear winner with a magnificent entry from flopho but scores otherwise very close with the rest of the entries - good quality round overall.

There was too much choice for both categories.

[Affillate]

Just waiting on Leo Scores I think.

Here's Camila Cabello with Don't Go Yet:

[Leo]

sorry! just sent my scores! It was a weak round, sorry, and I was maybe too harsh... (I think not anyway)

[Affillate]

Update coming tonight: Guess you could say like Emma Bunton What Took You So Long? Leo but haha just joking all good. Next round is the Finale!

[Affillate]

Results are in! Here's Gary Barlow & Robbie Williams (from Take That) teaming up for a duet on Shame.

ROUND 11 - WITH OR WITHOUT YOU - RESULTS

Song 1

Delta Goodrem & Brian McFadden - Almost Here [Spartan 1]
LEO: Sweet song 5
JSPARKSFAN: Beautiful, but safe. Still the best of the R1 entries. 4.5
WAYNE: Delta Goodrem & Brian McFadden - Almost Here - it’s a soppy song, let’s be honest but I do really quite like it. I can remember when they got together (I think they got together?) being firmly team Kerry. Anyhoo, I award the song 4.0 points. 4

Kid Cudi - Pursuit Of Happiness (Megaforce Version) ft. Ratatat, MGMT [navi 1]
LEO: An intersting track 5.5
JSPARKSFAN: Thoroughly unsatisfying. 2
WAYNE: Kid Cudi - Pursuit Of Happiness (Megaforce Version) ft. Ratatat, MGMT - clever song, albeit one I’ve never really clicked with musically. Still, inspired choice - I award the song 3.5 points. 3.5

Mark Foster, A-Trak & Kimbra - Warrior [flopho 1]
LEO: Nice but I don't fully enjoy this 4
JSPARKSFAN: Forgettable. 3
WAYNE: Mark Foster, A-Trak & Kimbra - Warrior - other than it being a touch too busy during the chorus, I really quite liked this, video was fun. I award it 4.0 points. 4

Nelly Furtado ft. Timbaland - Promiscuous [Affillate 1]
LEO: Unimpressive entry 2
JSPARKSFAN: Lazy submission, but this is a bop nonetheless. 4
WAYNE: Nelly Furtado ft. Timbaland - Promiscuous - what’s not to love? It’s a classic. I award the song 4.5 points. 4.5

Song 2

Ashley Roberts - Ride Or Die [Spartan 2]
LEO: Didn't like this, but some points for being a discovery 3
JSPARKSFAN: Interesting song. I liked this. Great cadence throughout. 4.5
WAYNE: Ashley Roberts - Ride Or Die - this is actually a pretty decent song, however it would benefit from a fuller production, it sounds half baked - was it a demo? I award it 3.5 points. 3.5

Brandon Flowers - Can't Deny My Love [flopho 2]
LEO: Brandon will always be a 6 from me. And this in particular is fire 6
JSPARKSFAN: Welp, this was a bit of a trump card to play. Brilliant track, with some cool time-warping sonic highlights. 6
WAYNE: Brandon Flowers - Can't Deny My Love - I love watching him, I love listening to him. This is awesome, and I award the song 5.0 points. 5

Mark Lanegan and Kurt Cobain - Where Did You Sleep Last Night? [navi 2]
LEO: Not my thing 2
JSPARKSFAN: Great instrumentation here. 4
WAYNE: Mark Lanegan and Kurt Cobain - Where Did You Sleep Last Night? - I’m probably committing an unspeakable offence here but I found this to be quite naff? I’m definitely not the right audience for this, it’s not the type of music that’s the issue (as I like some nirvana music), I just find this to be not that good - on the basis it contains a former frontman of an iconic act though, I’ll award the song 3.0 points. 3

Nick Carter - Help Me [Affillate 2]
LEO: too bad 1
JSPARKSFAN: Oh my, this is a bit dated. Cute, but no cigar. 3.5
WAYNE: Nick Carter - Help Me - not feeling this, sorry. I award the song 2.5 points. 2.5

[Spartan]

Didn’t think I’d make it pass that round and I didn’t even think to submit one of my faves - Brandon.

[navi]

aw, it's over
kinda expected that
i was sure upon submission that dark and heavy interpretation of an semi-traditional song wouldn't fit judges ears,
but i was hoping for miracle

good luck to both of my opponents
(i have a favourite for the win but i won't reveal him now)

thanks to the judges too, it was fun but far too long

[Affillate]
