Okay...since Kinnik probally left us, anyone willing to take Robin? If not...then we move onto Chopper. If Chopper doesn't show, then Nami finishes. If we dont' get many performances, then this thread is pretty much dead.

Okay, here I go, and sorry I couldn't get the actual song, I just couldn't find it. I'm so scared.


Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCarteny


Chopper was practicing behind stage, to be prepared for his act. He then heard his name, gave one big gulp, and continued onto the stage. The lights were bright, and blinded him from all the viewers, helping him calm down.

He started to forget he was ever there, and imagined himself back home, putting up the décor with Dr. Hilukaluk. The lights turned to a blue and white color. A piano started to play, while he started to tap his foot and move side to side.


The moon is right
The spirits up
We’re here tonight
And that’s enough

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The party’s on
The feelin’s here
That only comes
This time of year

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

As the song went on, he quickly changed to a happy childish act, trying to make it sound like a child was singing the next verse. He also started to walk back and forth while singing, to add in more emotion before changing his voice back to a happy older voice.

The choir of the children sing their song
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding ohhhh
Ohhhhhhh

He also continued to walk.

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The word is out
About the town
To lift a glass

As he was singing the next part, he looked up, shaking his head while pointing down and singing.

Ahhh don’t look down


Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

Again he went back to the childish voice, than back again, only this time the light colors changed to a red, blue, green and white.

The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong

He started to sound louder and proud of himself as he continued on through the song.

The party’s on
The spirits up
We’re here tonight
And that’s enough

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmas

As he was about to say time, he then lowered his voice and started to slow down a bit, while the lights changed back to a blue and white color.

Time……..

He continued with the slowness of the song.

The moon is right
The spirits up
We’re here tonight
And that’s enough

He paused, trying to make a big climax to his ending, sounding louder and prouder than before.

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

He pitched is voice to sound a bit higher.

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

He paused for a very short time, then the light color went off, and he started to sing his last note.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Right after singing his second last note, all the lights came on and the red, green, white and blue lights came back, as he put one hand out to make his dramatic scene.

Christmastime!!!

As the song ended, the lights started to turn back to their normal color, and he could see his favorite friend giving him a thumb’s up, making him smile.



"So, how did I do?" he asked, still gaining his breath from the song.

Digi twitched. "So...augh...so cute..." She groaned. "Admittedly out-of-season though...it was nice, but I don't think you have what it takes to go furthur in this competition. I give it a four."

OOC: Yes, Kanthia is, and clearly you didn't read the guidelines. You should go read them now. Maybe once you do you could try picking up Robin, she's open...

OOC: Gah. This isn't getting too far. Really, the only people that judge are me, Digi-dono, and X-law. Chibi-sama comes sometimes, but emaster takes longest. I'm thinking we should have atleast four judge votes, then move on. But...I may have to wait this out. Kanthia is next, if we can't get a Robin soon. X_X I need to PM Kanthia...

Yosha~! Putfile was being a meanie-mo, so you can listen to the song here. Kanthia is aware it's a InuKag slideshow...but it's her favouritest song ever. She asks that you listen 'cause the tune is really neat ^0^

Private Radio
/Vanessa Carlton

Nami gripped the stem of the microphone tighter as the judges finished with Chopper. She had been preparing all week for this- shopping for clothes, picking out lip gloss, getting Sanji’s opinion on everything (which didn’t mean much; all he could offer usually was a “Mellorine~” and a constant stream of blood from his nose, which meant she was on the right track), occasionally practicing the song.

Everything was perfect. She had to win this, because if she didn’t she would probably only be able to sucker half the winnings from the victor.

As her name was called, she stepped onto the stage. She smiled for the judges and took her position in the center of the stage just as the music started up. The first few bars brought in the piano and tambourine- sweet instruments pounding out a rough rhythm, just like her.

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Gotta get a little
Gotta get a little

All the world has gone to bed
And I am drowning in its silence
But a solitude lives in my head
From you, baby


Here the drums and violin kicked in with a burst of orange-tinted spotlights centering on her, and she began to accentuate the rhythm with the movement of her hips and gestures with her free hand. The fitted navy miniskirt she had picked out this morning drew a swell of admiration from the male portion of the crowd.

And if the silence was a song
Well, its rhythm grooves and it's a private radio
And on this night I do belong
In harmony

You can't deny me
You will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
And no-one knows
I can feel it
I got my private radio


The harmony vocals were pre-recorded by her and were playing in the background. She slipped out of the chorus effortlessly, switching the microphone to her right hand and letting the tempo carry her feet as the spotlights danced around her.

And find me outta my pillow
'Cause I'm lyin' here, but I am ready good to go
On a whim I leave this town
Or not, I'll stay and chase the sun

And now you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
And no one knows
I can feel it
I got my private radio


She was flying again. Everything was free, freedom, no longer the contest but just the dance and song. The audience faded away behind the bright lights. She couldn't care less.

Catch me, night can
Call me later
Morning's risin'


A couple of bars of slower-paced instrumentals allowed her to catch her breath quickly and slow her heart down for the bridge.

All the world has gone to bed
And there's a sound inside my head
And in the dark inside my bed
And the melody that’s in my head


The lights burst forth again, announcing that the song was almost over. She tilted back her head and let the sound free from wherever it had been waiting inside.

(When the night comes)
It’s a part of me no one will never know
(And no one knows)
And midnight comes and I know I'm on my own
(I can feel it)
It’s a part of me no one will ever see
(I've got my private radio)
It's a part of me no one will ever leave be
My private radio
(Gotta get a little)
My private radio
(Gotta get a little)
My private radio


As the last few scats faded and the song ended abruptly with the last crescendo of violin, she held the microphone at hip level and gave the audience one last pose. After holding it for ten seconds, she relaxed into the applause from the spectators.

But it didn’t really matter. They would applaud no matter what- the only applause that really mattered was in the private radio in her head, and Bellemere had been tuned in the entire time.

Digi groaned, leaning back in her chair. "What is it with you people? Why can't any of you just suck so I can be completely merciless with you? Argh...well, what the hell...that was lovely and the song was rather catchy. You did as good as Zoro...that's a nine from me too." She muttered.

*Le Gasp.*

Nami's score will remain a 9 for three days. If ChibiKitsune doesn't show, or emaster, then I'll give Nami a 9 and move on to round two.

Le. Finish. Nami moves on!

And into the second round we go.

You ALL get a five day planning period, so plan up.

EDIT: I just sent a form PM to everyone, warning them about their time limit of planning.
