Terre d' Ange/American Idol

[Prince Christien de la Courcel]

This is how I see this happening- I'll post a song, as sung by any character, present or canon, or any group- serious, funny or just interesting- and the next person will fill the part of the judges as well as posting their own song afterward. The next person will post as judges again, then post their own song...and so on. I think this could be potentially interesting, and as such, will go first. You can, if you need to, also use the American Idol judges.

Christien walks in and, after kicking the jukebox a few times, sings-

We'll All Get Laid
The Vandals

Well it's a great big world that's filled with disappointment.
We're maggots in the ointment just squirming to get free.
And now the futures gotmuch more than you can handle.
Don't try to light a candle.Let's curse the misery.
And as we head for certain doom, don't give up so soon.
Till every one of us is dead and vengeful Armageddon has arrived.

[Chorus:]
Cuz we'll have a drink and throw a parade.
And greet the rapture screaming "Hoary!"
And hope someone jumps on the grenade.
But no one will.
We'll all be killed and we will thrill as blood is spilled.
And even the bravest of us run away.
We'll all get laid.

Cuz you still got dreams that haven't been pissed on.
And you still got things you'll never get done.
And you'll keep on running like a rat on a wheel.
And keep on wondering what is the deal.
What was the point? And how come it ends this way?
Well no one knows, we've only got today.
And as the lights go dim, don't think it's all so grim.
At least we all go out together heading off to never-never land.

[Chorus:]
Cuz we'll have a drink and throw a parade.
And greet the rapture screaming "Hoary!"
And hope someone jumps on the grenade.
But no one will.
We'll all be killed and we will thrill as blood is spilled.
And even the bravest of us run away.
We'll all get laid [x2]

[Julie Deveroix (D)]

Gil nods in agreement, and says "Well delivered, Christien. I would prefer you didn't destroy the equipment though, unless you intend to replace it, Dawg."

Geraldine shakes her head in mute disagreement, but voices a soft opinion : "I'm not sure about the song choice. You have a good voice, and you render it well, but... I'm not buying it."

Julie looks at Christien, her eyes glazed over. "I could watch you sing for hours," at which point both Gil and Dine holler in laughter, Dine patting Julie's thigh in slight tease.

Siegfried then pops along, and very inspired, takes a deep breath, after giving the jukebox a look of consideration, and pushes 2 buttons.

Devil
The Servant

Knocking on my door was an evil silhouette
Knocking this morning a black silhouette
Knocking on my door was an evil silhouette
And his eyes were glowing like two lit cigarettes
Me and the devil were standing side by side
I looked in the mirror into my own eyes
Me and the devil were standing side by side
He held out his claws and I began to rise
I got me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
"I know you know it’s time to go"
I got me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
"I know you know it’s time to go"
I got me and the devil blues
"About every week I come ringing for the dead
I pile ‘em up high - feets and heads
I squash ‘em in tight
I shout my call :

I’ll take your little dead boy
I’ll take your little dead girl
About every week I come ringing for the dead
I pile ‘em up high - feets and heads
I squash ‘em in tight
I shout my call :

I’ll take your little dead boy
I’ll take your little dead girl
I don’t mind"

You may bury my body in a supermarket aisle
Bury my body in the fresh meat aisle
You may bury my body in a supermarket aisle
And I will rise again like an exocet missile

I got me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
"I know you know it’s time to go"
I got me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
"I know you know it’s time to go"
I got me and the devil blues

[Avrielle nó Valerian]

This is such a fun idea!

Aramis smiles and claps appreciatively. "Well done," he says, "I'm very impressed with how you embodied the song."

Avive stares wide-eyed. "What a frightening song," she says. "I think if you picked something more upbeat, it would have been better."

Avrielle has an expression of something very much like desire on her face. "It gave me the shivers," she says. "I loved it." She rises from her chain, and begins to sing.

Ready for Love
India.Arie

I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity

I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing

I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here

If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respect's the spirit world
And thinks with his heart

I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can

I am ready for love
Here with an offering of
My voice
My Eyes
My soul
My mind

Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love

I am ready

[Rannan de Fournier (D)]

Aaliyah can relate to the song and she gives Avrielle a happy clap.

Idaeus just sends her a teasing smile and looks for something that interests him more than singing

Ellette nods, listens, appreciates, and leaves with a smile

Caine listens, smiles, and wishes Avrielle good luck in her future singing endeavors!

Rannan, listens, claps, and must join in this kind of fun! He offers Idaeus a few coins and another night of passion so that he'll do back up

(tell me you wouldn't want to see this performance, lol)

[Leyna de Somerville]

Keegan says, between laughs, "Dawgs! You stole my song! Can not get behind you when you're stealing my music."

Caraf, standing and applauding, "That was wonderful! I just love the interaction and the risk you both took."

Quinn scowls and shakes his head, "Poor choice for a duet. Why don't you each pick something more suited to your personalities and come back next season."


Alexei strides to the middle of the floor and without accompaniment sings:

The Queen and the Soldier
Suzanne Vega

The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
He said, "I am not fighting for you any more"
The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him inside.

He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
Only first I am asking you why."

Down in the long narrow hall he was led
Into her rooms with her tapestries red
And she never once took the crown from her head
She asked him there to sit down.

He said, "I see you now, and you are so very young
But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun
And now will you tell me why?"

The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"
But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
But she closed herself up like a fan.

And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"
He laid his hand then on top of her head
And he bowed her down to the ground.

"Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel
As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed
But I won't march again on your battlefield"
And he took her to the window to see.

And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray
And she wanted more than she ever could say
But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away
And would not look at his face again.

And he said, "I want to live as an honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman who I don't understand
Your highness, your ways are very strange."

But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached
She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
She would only be a moment inside.

Out in the distance her order was heard
And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred
The battle continued on

[Sirena Shahrizai]

Christien raises a brow. "YOu know, I'm going to have to think about this one for a moment..."

Jessamine: "Ooh, Ooh, I like that! In fact.." She pulls out a pad of paper and a pen and sets to frantically writing.

Modred simply shakes his head. "Good tune, nicely picked..and I thought I was sadistic! I'd hate to meet that woman."

Once the applause has died Sirena enters, dressed in a gown of silver velvet slit up to her hip and vamping it all the way down the stage. With a full band behind her she sings:

Temptation Waits
Garbage

I'll tell you something
I am a wolf but
I like to wear sheep's clothing

I am a bonfire
I am a vampire
I'm waiting for my moment

Chorus:
You come on like a drug (Temptation waits)
I just can't get enough (Here's to your fate)
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more (Can't stay much longer)
And there's so much at stake (Temptation waits)
I can't afford to waste (I heard you say)
I never needed anybody like this before (Don't say it's over)

I'll tell you something
I am a demon
Some say my biggest weakness
I have my reasons
Call it my defense
Be careful what you're wishing

Chorus

You are a secret
A new possession
I like to keep you guessing

You come on like a drug (Temptation waits)
I just can't get enough (Here's to your fate)
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more (Can't stay much longer)
And there's so much at stake (Temptation waits)
I can't afford to waste (Temptation waits)
I never needed anybody like this before

Oooh....X4

When I'm not sure what I'm living for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for

[Shona Tertignan]

Gil's eyes popped out of their orbits several times as Sirena's act took its course, but never more than his ears prickled at the sound of her voice. Wiping the drool off his chin, he critiques, or so he thinks : "I didn't feel very good about the song choice. But you could pull off anything. And Lovely, look no further, I'm what you're looking for," his eyebrows raised in suggestion.

Siegfried looks at Gil in contempt. "Are you able to meet a pretty woman without hitting on her?" He snorts a Gil, but returns to Sirena with a neutral tone, "you have a nice voice, but if you want to make it in this business, don't try to use your body for it. Next time, please be decent, and don't be so forgettable." He shrugs. "I expected better."

Shona smiles pleasantly at Sirena, completely oblivious to the two males. "Sweetie, you got some voice and talent. But be assertive, sing it, bring it, take it home," she says dramatically. "You have a lot of potential."

Her wild curly hair all out and detached, dressed in black tights and jacket opened over a black lace corset that flaunts what little cleavage she has, and sporting a crimson electric guitar, Julie walks up to the stage and pats Sirena on the back. She tells her : "Girl, they're just a bunch of idiots - I thought you were good," and then give two thumbs up, followed by a rockin' devil mimick and a small giggle of nervousness.

She then walks up to the stage, and says to the 3 stooges, "If you think you have so much to teach us, you'd better come here and do back vocals. Because I am NOT letting you off the hook." Sieg protests that he has already sung, but Gil and Shona pull him to the stage.

The three take positions behind Julie, and the stage turns to a firy thing of red and violet lighting.

Bohemian Rhapsody
Queen

All 4: Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-

Julie: Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
All 4: Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,

Julie: Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me, To me
Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

(Bridge)

Julie: Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

Julie: I see a little silhouetto of a man,
All 4: Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-

Julie: But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
All 4: Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Julie: Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
All 4: Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Julie: Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
All 4: Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

(Julie's red hair takes up the stage as the 4 proceed to some heavy head-banging.)

Julie: So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

[Lessandrie de Mereliot-Romanov]

Nic watches the show intently, then scratches his head. "What?" he asks in a confused voice, completely baffled.

Allisande looks over the group and, with a great deal of gravity, says, "That was a great show of stagemanship- but I think the main part woudl have been more appropriate for one of the guys. I mean, I get that the red-haired chick is the rebellious one, but..."

Bayard waves a banner. "I'd do you all! Two thumbs up!"

Short red hair bound back with a number of pins, Lessa came on stage in a classy but casual dress, wearing a slight smile, shoulders back. "Thank you for allowing me to perform," she said politely as the band was keying up.

21 Things I Want in a Lover
Alanis Morisette

Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
Do you have a big intellectual capacity but know
That it alone does not equate wisdom?
Do you see everything as an illusion?
But enjoy it even though you are not of it?
Are you both masculine and feminine? politically aware?
And don't believe in capital punishment?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer

Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that
Loving someone can actually feel like freedom? are you funny?
à la self-deprecating? like adventure? and have many formed opinions?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover

I'm in no hurry I could wait forever
I'm in no rush cuz I like being solo
There are no worries and certainly no pressure in the meantime
I'll live like there's no tomorrow

Are you uninhibited in bed? more than three times a week?
Up for being experimental? are you athletic?
Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother? are you not addicted?
...curious and communicative...

[Keegan nó Orchis]

Mala rolls her eyes slightly, "You're selling yourself short..."

Rae applauds and sighs deeply, "That was lovely. Excellent job, it really spoke to me."

Plaisir joins in the applause, "Excellent, just excellent."

Keegan bounds onto the stage in tight pants and an open shirt, forgoes the microphone and launches into:

It wasn't me
Shaggy

(Yo man) Yo
(Open up man) What do you want man?
(My girl just caught me)
You let her catch you?
(I don't know how I let this happen)
With who?
(The girl next door, you know?) Man...
(I don't know what to do) Say it wasn't you
(Alright)

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget
That I had given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me

How you can grant the woman access to your villa
Trespasser and a witness while you cling on your pillow
You better watch your back before she turn into a killer
Best for you and the situation not to call the beaner
To be a true player you have to know how to play
If she say you're not, convince her say you're gay
Never admit to a word when she say makes a claim
And you tell her baby no way

But she caught me on the counter
(It wasn't me)
Saw me banging on the sofa
(It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower
(It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera
(It wasn't me)
She saw the marks on my shoulder
(It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her
(It wasn't me)
Heard the screams getting louder
(It wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget
That I had given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me

I had tried to keep her from what she was about to see
Why should she believe me when I told her it wasn't me
Make sure she knows it's not you and lead her on
Da right prefix whenever you should see her make da giggolo flex
As funny as it be by you, it not that complex
Seein' is believin' so you better change your specs
You know she not gonna be worrying bout things from the past
Hardly recollecting and then she'll go to noontime mass
Your answer: go over there but if she pack a gun
You know you better run fast

But she caught me on the counter
(It wasn't me)
Saw me banging on the sofa
(It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower
(It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera
(It wasn't me)
She saw the marks on my shoulder
(It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her
(It wasn't me)
Heard the screams getting louder
(It wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget
That I had given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me

How could I forget;
That I had given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me
Gonna tell her that I'm sorry for the pain that I've caused
I've been listenin' to your reasonin'
It makes no sense at all
We should tell her that I'm sorry for the pain that I've caused
You may think that you're a player
But you're completely lost

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget
That I had given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me

[Jessamine de Mornay]

Nic says, in a very Antonio Banderas-type voice, "Now this, I understand. Next time, the woman must not have the key. A+."

Eyes wide, Reyard chimes in, "I believe you- NOT! Good choice, well performed- but next time, man, work on the sneakiness. Remember, do not underestimate the sneakiness!"

Allisande is content to simply roll her eyes. "Passable, but perhaps something more original next time."

Jess is laughing so hard she's forced to crawl on stage, then pull herself up using Keegan as a brace. "You did this for the advantage you'd get, didn't you?" she teased, smacking his arm and then lightly pushing him from the stage.

One Girl Revolution
Superchic

I'm wearin' a disguise
I'm just your average Jane
The super doesn't stand for model
But that doesn't mean I'm plain
If all you see is how I look
You miss the Superchick within
And I christen you Titanic
Underestimate and swim

And I'll be everything
That I wanna be
I am confidence and insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot bang
That you hear 'round the world

(I'm a one girl revolution)

Some people see the revolution
But most only see the girl
I can lose my hard earned freedom
If my fear defines my world
I declare my independance
From the critics and the Stones
I can find my revolution
I can learn to stand alone

And I'll be everything
That I wanna be
I am confidence and insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot bang
That you hear 'round the world

('Round the world)
('Round the world)
('Round the world)

(I'm a one girl revolution)
(I'm a one girl revolution)
(I'm a one girl revolution)

('Cause I'm a one girl revolution)
('Cause I'm a one girl revolution)

And I'll be everything
That I wanna be
I am confidence and insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot bang
That you hear 'round the world

Everything
That I wanna be
I am confidence and insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot bang
That you hear 'round the world

('Round the world)
('Round the world)
('Round the world)

[Ellette nó Dahlia (D)]

Aaliyah has to clap, "great song!" she goes out to find a copy of the song in a cannon terre d'ange format

Rannan noods, "good song choice, you could have shown a little more emotion however." He is quick to smile though, wanting Jess to know that he enjoyed her performance very much.

Idaeus likes the music, but finds the song to be a bit over done lyric wise, "you can sing though," he says, than sneaks off before anyone else can sucker him into a performance.

Caine enjoyed the performace, as always, and Idaeus gives him a dirty look as he saunters out, thinking Caine should be less accepting.

Ellette smiles, says "good job, but its time for some real music." She walks on stage, takes a deep breath, tests her voice and then starts to sing


Sleeping Sun
Nightwish

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my nights
A truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time
The darkness around me - shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

Sorrow has a human heart
From my God it will depart
I`d sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
222 days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet`s play
Until there`s nothing left to say


3. Nightquest

Born to the false world, the wanderer,
Storyteller, The Pied Piper
On a quest for immortality
Gathering a troop to find the fantasy

Led by a maid - Queen of the night
Voice of angels, such a divine sight
An Amazon to fight and cure
This reality with her feline lure

Patriotic to the promised land of Neverwaking Dream

Nightquest - quest not for the past
But for tomorrow to make it last
Simply the best - way to walk this life
Hand in hand with the dreamers'minds

Enter the realm, don't stay awake
The dreams remain, they only brake
Forget the task, enjoy the ride
And follow us into the night

A merry minstrel with his fingers fast
Playing his lute, charming every lass
Joins the troop with a glitter in his eye
" Shall I find fame or shall I die"

A warrior of power along the path
A hammerheart, his gallantry to last
Rhythm of sirens, enemies, take heed
For in this war laws are a silent sleep

Patriotic to the promised land of Neverwaking Dream

"Come to the elfland" the eldest said,
"In my guidance you shall not be afraid,
I am the mastermind, the wizard to show the way"

First ones to guard this path of night
Lady in black, Lady in white
Followed by legions of night-time wanderers

Guardians of the halls of heart
When we from our homeland depart
To challenge the gods of emptiness
May the quest begin

[Géraldine Grangier]

Siegfried stands, towering over everyone, and claps solemnly, then sits down, thinking words are superflous. That, he thinks, is yet the best combination he's seen so far.

Geraldine sits back, thinks a moment. "Not bad. You have a lot of energy, but I'd like more vocal performance next time. Dancing around is not all that."

Gil shakes his head. "Not seductive, enough, sweet cheeks. Let me show you what it's all about," he says, standing up and crooning just a little.

He walks to the stage smugly, unbuttons his shirt halfway, and takes a predatory stance that makes Geraldine blush while Siegfried give Gil a devil's stare.

Sexual Healing
(Marvin Gaye/David Ritz/Odell Brown)

Ooh, now let's get down tonight

Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger

And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, oh baby

Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind

Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me

Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and

Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing

I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right

Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising

And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush

Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh

Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in

Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing [Ad lib]

[Bayard Roux nó Eglantine]

Jess thinks for a moment. "I didn't know a voice could get that low without someone being ill."

Aleron simply raises a brow. "You know, if you give the goods away no one will actually want to buy them."

With a slight flush Lessa admits, "I liked it."

Out strolls Bayard, punked out including lip, eyebrow and nose piercings, ears gauged out until he could fit his thumb through and with onyx discs in them. His hair's been spiked. Eyes flashing with fun and fervour he sings-

What's My Age Again?
Blink 182

I took her out it was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
And that's about the time that she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a pay phone
I said I was the cops
And your husband's in jail
This state looks down on sodomy
And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when your 23
And are still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is call ID?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
what's my age again?
And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when your 23
And you still act like you're in Freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
That's about the time that she hung up on me
No one should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish that on me?
I never want to act my age
What's my age again?
what's my age again?

[Cascata Stregazza]

Rannan laughs, he likes the song and claps at the performance

Idaeus decides the singer is cute, but he isn't to impressed by the song

Caine claps, "you seem to really enjoy the song," he says as a compliment, "good choice"

Ellette rolls her eyes but gives him credit for putting some effort into the performance

Aaliyah smiles, giggls at some parts, and decides that she needs to get to know her fellow adept since he seems like a fun person to hang out with

Coscata is torn about rather or not she likes the song, but nods at Bayard and says it was a four out of five star performance. She then waves him off the stage and grabs the mic. She calls in some back up dancers and sings:

RIHANNA LYRICS

"A Girl Like Me"

Some girls play the game
They all walk and talk
And they dress the same
Nothin' New To Say
Don't they realize
That it's so easy to see
Right though there disguise
Makes me wonder why
When the whole worlds turnin left
It's when I'm goin right
I need someone to let me be
Just who I am inside

`Cause a girl like me
Is just a lil' different from all the rest
And a girl likes me
Never gonna settle for Second Best
Could it be a boy like you
That would give me anything
If I asked him to
To take all my dreams
And Make them true
Show me all the reasons that you
Ought to be with a girl like me
Just like me

Possibility
Got me trippin'
Thinkin' of what could be
Between you and me
Still I need to know
Should I keep this feelin'
Or let it go
I can't wait no more
So now's the time
To speak your mind
And Show me what you feel
So tell me if you
Want to take a chance
On something real

`Cause a girl like me
Is just a lil' different from all the rest
And a girl likes me
Never gonna settle for Second Best
Could it be a boy like you
That would give me anything
If I asked him to
To take all my dreams
And Make them true
Show me all the reasons that you
Ought to be with a girl like me
Just like me

Mirror Mirror on the wall
Catch me now before I fall
I wish I may, I wish I might
Find the Answer here tonight
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Catch me now before I fall
I wish I may, I wish I might
Find the Answer here tonight

When the whole world's turnin left
It's when I'm going right
I need someone to let me be
Just who I am inside

`Cause a girl like me
Is just a lil' different from all the rest
And a girl likes me
Never gonna settle for Second Best
Could it be a boy like you
That would give me anything
If I asked him to
To take all my dreams
And Make them true
Show me all the reasons that you
Ought to be with a girl like me
Just like me

[Gillermo Stregazza]

Gil has been looking at Cascata with increased interest. To Julie, he whispers proudly "That's my little sister." Julie nods in agreement. She gets the sibling bond thing. When her performance is over, he grins "I love that song. Good job, sister-dear !"

Geraldine nods in agreement "Great song choice. I'd love to see you do something more upbeat next time."

Shona smiles and throws her 2 cents as she threads up the stage. "Honestly, it's about time we start singing about something else than love, sex and romance. I mean, I'm into it too, but a change will be nice."

Her delicate figure in a lovely corset of shimmering black and a very (very) short skirt which shows her lacy tights and impressive stillettos. On her left ankle, a small bracelet gleams in the spotlights. She nods at the band, and the intro shoots up a powerful electric note.

Money
Pink Floyd (Delicate Sound of Thunder, 1988)

Money, get away
get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
money, it's a gas
grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
new car, caviar, four star daydream
think I'll buy me a football team

Money, get back
I'm alright, Jack, keep your hands off my stack
money, it's a hit
don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set
and I think I need a Lear jet

Money, it's a crime
share it fairlybut don't take a slice of my pie
money, so they say
is the root of all evil today
but if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away, away, away

[Idaeus nó Mandrake]

Aaliyah isn't so sure about the song, but she likes the choice in outfit, "at least you put some thought into it."

Ellette can relate to the song, "good singing, but next time put a little more heart into it."

Caine nods, shrugs slightly, but can't help the fact he enjoys singing and claps anyhow. Idaeus has decided to just ignore him at this point.

Rannan winks at Shona finding her cute and liking the outfit. "Good performance, but I am with my sister on this one."

Idaeus likes the outfit as well, lets Shona know as much, but says, "it is now time for some real music," but it does pause for a moment and tell Shona her song was one of the better ones he's scene. He then glares her off the stage and sings:

How Can I Live
III Nino

I am so alike you
In so many ways
I know I'm just a copy
That carries on the strain
But, we make the same mistakes
'Cause, we are one and the same
We leave behind the stain
That will never separate

All the lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?

I am your mirror image
I'm all you left behind
You made me what I am
But who the hell am I?
But, we make the same mistakes
'Cause, we are one and the same
We leave behind the stain
That will never separate

All the lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?

We've made the same mistakes
We are one and the same
How can I live

Do you think of me?
Do you dream of me?
I always dream about you
Do you think of me?
Do you dream of me?
I always dream about you

[Jessamine de Mornay]

Rena giggles. "Very Phantom of the Opera, my dear."

Mordred raises a brow and looks a bit confused. "You do that a bit- too well. What's with the emotion? I'm a bit frightened."

Smiling warmly, Leala claps. "I thought it was very nice."

Jess has snuck back onto the stage and jumps out with a new mic, dressed in black leather pants, a pale green tube top, and wristbands of camo. "Me again!" she declares, then breaks out into song.

One Girl Revolution (different song, same name)
Saving Jane

Raise your hand if you don't care
What those platinum girls wear
Raise your hand if your just here
To have a good time
Raise your hand if your lipstick
Doesnt make you a dumb chick
Raise your hand if the shape of your hips don't compare
To the shape of your mind

You don't even stand a chance
I'm not takin' off my pants
I'm here to start a one girl revolution
Not a barbie doll
Shopping mall
Silicone substitution
I thought I told ya
Im a solider
And i aint leavin' till the battles over
One girl revolution

Raise your hand if you're smart girls
More than push-ups and pearls
Let em stare at our pictures baby
While we take over the world

Raise your hand if you're not another carbon copy
Wannabe like everybody else
Raise up your hand if you got something more to say

I'm here to start a one girl revolution
I'm not a perfect tan
Paper thin
Hollywood illusion
I thought i told ya
Im a solider
And i aint leavin' till the partys over
One girl revolution

What are we sellin?
Our brains or our belly buttons
What are you buyin?
Don't you know that they're lyin?
What are you cryin about
Don't just sit there and wait
While they're selling us out!

You don't even stand a chance
Im not taking off my pants
I’m here to start a one girl revolution
I’m not the Girl Next Door anymore
baby I’m an institution
I thought I told ya
don’t wanna know ya
Pack your bags baby cause this army’s takin’ over
I’m here to start a one girl revolution

I’m the kinda chick that leaves you cryin’ for your mother
Keep on lookin if your lookin for a cookie cutter
I’m here to start a revolution

(Uh No thanks, I can loosen up my own buttons)

[Malabelle Shahrizai]

Alain claps loudly and tosses roses onto the stage. “Brava!”

Caraf laughs at seeing her friend up there and claps as well. “Well done!”

Alexei shakes his head slightly. “Must be a d’Angeline thing.”


Mala prowls out onto the stage, wearing a blood red silk dress so tight she must have been poured into it.

“I’m dedicating this to Christophe, he’ll know why.”


You Give Me Fever : Peggy Lee

never know how much i love you
never know how much i care
when you put your arms around me
I give you fever that's so hard to bare

you give me fever
when you kiss me
fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the day time
moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
and you know i'm gonna treat you right

you give me fever
when you kiss me
fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night

Everybodies got the fever
That is somethin you all know
Fever is'nt such a new thing
Fever start long ago

Romeo love Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said Julie baby your my flame

Now give me fever
When were kissin
Fever with that flame in you
Fever
I'm a fire
Fever yeah i burn for you

Captain smith and pocahontas
had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said daddy oh don't you dare

He gives me fever
With his kisses
fever when he holds me tight
Fever
I'm his misses
Daddy won't you treat him right

Now you listened to my story
Here's the point that i have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it fair and have a sense of game

They give you fever
when you kiss them
Fever if you really learned
Fever
Till you sizzlen
But what a lovely way to burn

But what a lovely way to burn
But what a lovely way to burn
But what a lovely way to burn
