authentic - you are submitting something original, not a slightly tweaked copy of another's work

enthusiastic - your submission conveys your interest in FM, i want to be able to feel something

Diss and I talked about it and agree with xxxxmx that these are the guidelines for judging this round. Have Fun!

Hmm, kind of lame as far as anyone who just sings goes, what with the authenticity thing. Oh, well. I don't know how to do any of the picture things, or whatever. Guess I could just drop out, anyways. Not like I had so many points, that I should continue. I guess someone else, who actually already has memorabilia, will be able to add more to their collection.

Eek! Don't drop out, that's like my biggest fear with this round was that people would be too scared to keep going (remember the PMs). Slightly tweaked copy of someone elses work applies more to photos than anything, like if I were now to submit a wall paper that just had the words changed but kept everything from the previously submiited wallpaer: that would be low on authentic, but singing a song that you chose would be a different story.

No one should be embarassed but me. I'm the one who came in last! I thought I knew a lot. I can only hope to recover in the next two rounds. Good job, all! I was really impressed with the show of Stevie Knowledge.

Actually I Didn't list the names in any sort of ranking. You were not last and even if you were, that round was worth the least of the three rounds.

I had to work and missed round one. (Thought I had more time....*Doh*). I have round two finished, but it is kinda lengthy. What email should I send it to so all the judges can see it? I don't want to fill up the ledge with it). I suppose I could post it in tiny print. Lets see what one looks like - ooh that got bigger. anyway.....

Just send it to [email protected] and I'll forward it to the other judges. I'm sorry you missed round 1.

Will have to get it all together, then will send it off. I just saved myself from embarassment anyway by NOT doing part one. Seeker - 1 point. (pity point) .

Thanks for sharing that and trying to make me feel better. I just thought because my name was last on the page that I was last. It doesn't matter; I was just kidding around. This is all in good fun; that is why I was poking a little fun at myself, and congratulating everyone. Very nice of you to try to salvage my feelings though.

I don't think so. All I know is my name was last on the list, and I thought I was last, so I decided to poke a little fun at myself.

yeah, no, I think you either did best or second best. You can poke fun at yourself if you want though - but it may seem disengenuous considering you got a really high score. I got 35, second to last, I think. I had to make fun of myself, really....

Well, if you are second to last with 35, I'm right there with you with 39. Hey, we've got the next two rounds to catch up though.

If you want to argue anything with me, feel free to via e-mail.I am open to disagreement.

Looks like I've been missing out on the fun! But before I jump in I have a question about this answer. Where did you get this setlist from? I thought Outside the Rain and Bombay Sapphires were dropped way earlier than the last Vegas show. Are you sure this isn't the setlist for the Pittsburgh opening night show that she did with Sheryl in July? Remember, if you got this setlist off a bootleg site, that those are often mislabelled.

I hope it's OK to post a portion of a review of that night I found on the Nicksfix by someone named Rick (full review can be found here: http://www.nicksfix.com/tisl_fanreviews_vegas_6th.htm). I have the relevant sentence bolded.

------------------

quoting Rick
I attended both Las Vegas shows and they were the BEST!!!!!! Friday nights set was incredible minus Bombay Sapphire. It did not sell out but I believe that was due to the high ticket prices set by the Aladdin. (booo) But it was great for us fans as you were able to move about and find a spot where you could dance and sing along without annoying others. Stevie was great. The band was great. It was just FUN FUN FUN!!! On Saturday night, it was a sell out. This was the show that had been postponed. Stevie hit the stage on fire!! Top form once again! But Stevie had a surprise for us........Sheryl Crow! WOW! No mention of her before hand and the crowd went nuts! We got the opening night set list minus Outside the Rain and Bombay Sapphire. Wish we got Bombay Sapphire, but hey, I'm not going to complain.


---------

Perhaps someone who was there can clear up the confusion?

[thepoetinmyhear]

A couple other people have asked that, I got it off a vegas CD I've got which it seems is likely mislabeled, but since it is only a matter of two points and I am not 100% sure either way, I'm not going to change it. If the winner wins by a margin of two points AND they answered this question including outside the rain and BS then I will post some type of tie-breaker for the top-two. Otherwise, I'm not going to worry about it this time.
