Hey guys, first off I want to say that I am genuinely proud of all of you that submitted tracks for this final week. I seriously wish I could hug each one of you, y'all did such a great job and it takes a lot of courage and passion to really do something like this. Great job - and good luck to all the finalists.

I have to say that I'm forfeiting a critique this time. I just can't bear the thought of ripping you each to pieces. So sorry, but you're just going to have to deal with congratulations and ninja love from me. ::Huggles::

My vote is going to Alarandiia. I don't care how the voting turns out, I don't care who wins, but girl - you ARE the DEFINITION of what it would mean to be the EvBoard RockStar in my honest (and extremely critical) opinion. You had everything in your rendition of this week's song. Your voice was great, you really went above and beyond with yourself.

And you know, yours was the most energetic and entertaining. I don't care that you can't rap and you didn't do a mirror image of the song - you made it your own, you made it fun, and you made it sound GOOD. I liked how you decided to sing it and I'm glad you made the creative choices that you did. You should be very proud.

I felt how much you tried, I could tell the kind of effort you put into it... and it was all done so well. I appreciate your voice so much, it's incredibly unique, and you don't sound very much like Amy at all. I'm so proud of you for embracing your individuality and taking what you could do with this song to the next level. You deserve to win hun, for real.

Everyone did a great job, and you ALL deserve to be in the finals. But I think that Alarandiia is the one that should wield the RockStar title. Good luck again! I truly admire all of you that submitted this week, especially now that the veil of anonymity has been burned. Oh God, I'm getting all soft... I need to kill a rabbit or something... yucky niceness. >.<

(I'm sure you're all so depressed I didn't jump down your throats, but I just didn't have the heart.)

Alarandiia, my gosh..that was flawless!! the intro blew me away, and you have absolutely spot-on pitch, even when improvising. i love it!!! i almost like it better than the original

everyone else did very well, but Alarandiia's version just knocked me flat

-jenna

Exactly. That's the same reason why I voted for OctoberWhispers' version.

Once again ( I sound like a broken record, y'all don't gotta tell me anything, lol)the competition is no way on an even keel because of the fact some people's submissions sound like they belong on a CD already, whilst others must be content with a cheapy mic and software.

That said, Alarandia's version was by far the most unique and also had the most professional sound to it.It would truly fall under my category of a cover that could be released for everyone to hear. I loved how different it was.

However if this were a live performance no bells and whistles would be present for anyone.I know at regular karaoke nights, unless someone takes in a track they have made with all their own backups and stuff it just isn't very common to hear. At any rate the beginning was uber gorgeous, it was unique and cool. A good cover choice to consider for a future CD, perhaps?

Mel- your voice is totally lovely as always.Your track was the most raw and least edited which totally shows just how good you are. I hope to hear you sing live someday or better yet sing together!

Wild Angel-This song just doesn't work with your pretty delicate voice. You need to come out of your shell a bit vocally and you will really be awesome.

OctoberWhispers- Your voice is so lovely. It works well with the song as well.

Nagini- Your voice is also so pretty. I really liked your rendition.

I'm not gonna reveal my vote but you all did such an good job.

Thanks for your comment etherealme. Yeah I agree, this song sucks for my voice. I had a rockier version of the song, but it wasn't all that good either.

My imaginary friend thinks YOU have serious problems!

Nagini- I really love your version you sing it well!, You voice is fantastic, I know you had mic issues in the choruses but That for me never took anything away from The performance, It was Amazing! You really Deserved to Be in this Final Well Done!!!

October Whispers- I am amazed every time i hear you sing! You are absolutly Awesome!! Your Version is very Natural and flowing i don't feel you pushed or tried to hard at all, it very flowing and a pleasure to listen to, So far you have my vote!

Wildangel- I love what you tried to Achieve with this, It was very Original!! And I think you kinda pulled it off, You just needed to project you voice a little Better But you have a young one and i know what it's like to have to sing quietly, And still try and project your voice.. But definatley NOT a bad effort, Congrats. And OMG the "don't let me die here" part gave me shivers.

Alarandiia- Amazing as Usual! I knew You'd Make it to the Final, I Do love your Voice alot and this Rendition Rocks! not too sure about the Rap though sorry. . In fact that's probably the reason you will not get my vote. But Congrats On a job well done!

Melanie- You have a very powerful voice and You project it well, Your not afraid to get it out there, I also love how Natural you are, you Rock!! It's Between You and OctoberWhispers. I wish I could Vote For two..

Congrats To All Really Well Done Songs!!
